I can be honest. I made this site as a christmas gift for my dad, who happens to own a beach house in Puerto Rico. Initially, I didn’t have that much to go on so the content is slim. I tried to use this lack of site material as an asset and featured images as eye candy. Hopefully propelling it past the natural stigma attached to a single-page site.

The full-screen rotating background worked out pretty well thanks to the Supersized plugin. Title’s are using the Google Web Font API and Colorbox Jquery plugin for image gallery.

Since this is a WordPress driven site I though it would be easy to train my dad and his wife on how to update the content. It wasn’t that bad. They took to WordPress pretty quickly.  I found that, as long as I constrained their access to nearly everything in the back-end, they wouldn’t be overwhelmed.

So far, the site is doing pretty well for them. Business cards are on the way.
