Website for Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman is on the cutting edge of technology. Their acheivements go far beyond warfare to include advancements that benefit space exploration, communication and artificial intelligence. We were tasked to showcase the breadth of their abilities with a responsive video-heavy website.
Responsibilities
Development team leadership and technical oversight; Programming; Client communication and documentation; Asset Management and Optimization; Quality Assurance
Technology
HTML5, AngularJS, JWPlayer, CSS3, JSON, YouTube, Custom Gulp Preprocessors
Challenges
Infrastructure - Working within the Northrop firewall prevented some internal teams from using websites like Youtube, but since this was a video site they had concerns about bandwidth usage. We devised a way to determine when this was an issue and serve up local versions of the video content.
Asset Management - Overlaying 3D elements was acheived by using a series of png sequences built and optimized in a way that restrict server calls.
Results
The site was well received and can be viewed here.
