Jada Windows

As an alternative to the american production windows and doors of the era, Jada Windows creates unique products using the finest select hardwoods and designs that meet the demands of an evolving architectural market. They have also added metal elements of brass, steel and aluminum to continue the customization of the products. In 2009 they began production of an all metal product line using the unique thermally broken profiles supplied to us by industry leader Secco Sistemi of Italy.

Specific Challenges

The main challenge in this project was designing a simple yet elegant user interface that communicated the high-end products Jada Windows offers. Attention was dedicated to every aspect of the front-end design from imagery and fonts to the spacing and flow of content.

Next up, what makes Jada unique? The many Features, of course. To demonstrate the impact of these features, we designed a custom icon set and anchored each page with a streamlined slider, linking to pages dedicated to each distinctive feature. This encouraged the user to learn about the features and become familiar with what puts Jada products ahead of the rest.

Essential to the project was representing Jada Windows products and features through beautiful imagery. Custom and meticulously selected photography added a critical layer to the site, resulting in pages where the products shine.

The next challenge was making this dynamic, robust site easily editable by the Jada Windows team. Developing on a database and utilizing a module called XModPro, we designed simple, user-centric controls that guide the Jada team through a pleasant and easy data entry experience. Doubling on efficiency, this content can be entered in one location and utilized across the site with minimal configuration.

Logic built behind the scenes allowed us to design the page in a way that guides users to the information they need. Utilizing javascript and css, we developed responsive html structures so the site can be viewed comfortably on any device.
