Ribera Law Firm - Website and Corporate Identity Package

I just got done working on a big project for The Ribera Law Firm. They are a new law firm in SF and they approached me a few weeks ago to design their Corporate ID Package and design their website. Now both pieces of the project were things that I had done before, it's been a while since I've taken on a project like this and, while I embraced the challenge, it was a bit daunting as I haven't worked seriously with Dreamweaver and Fireworks since the MX versions and there was a hard deadline for completion of both.

The logo and ID design phase of the project took slightly longer than
expected and really determined the direction that we were going to go with the web design, but, when it came time to start the web piece, my computer at home died on me, which put me out of commission for about a week. I thought, "No big deal. I've designed web pages before. I'll just make up the time..." Famous last words. As soon as I was able to start the web design, I realized that my old skills and methods were completely obsolete. Not to mention that the functionality of Dreamweaver and Fireworks had changed a lot since I last used them. To make matters worse, everything is now done in CSS, which I never bothered to learn.

So I was in a bit of a panic this week as the clock kept ticking toward my deadline. I considered handing the job off to someone else, because I totally doubted my ability to bring the project home. Well, after a couple of sleepless nights, I had a breakthrough and was able to complete the project with a very minimal delay.

Anyway, the site will go live over the weekend. There's a temporary page up now, but I would surely appreciate if you would follow the link to check out the page and provide any comments or feedback here.

Thanks
