I'm excited by this opportunity to create a rich repository of information, or at least a slice of it. I've worked almost exclusively in the world of online publishing for the last year, so I greatly appreciated the "Snow Fall" article as well as other considered, immersive, designs that really explore what is possible in terms of presenting text, image and motion.
As far as my process goes, I propose an initial kick-off discussion that will lay out the requirements and the scope of the project. This will include must-haves, design inspirations and a general timetable. Once I'm able to come back to you with 3-4 directions for the layout of the page, I can begin the process of translating that into code. If necessary, I can help you source a web host, or if this is just an intermediate step to a larger project, I can host the page temporarily.
I look forward to your consideration, and I hope we get a chance to work together.
