Macromedia Selects Dessy as Site of the Day

April 30, 2005, Seattle, WA: Macromedia named Dessy.com Site of the Day today. The company pointed to the site’s ‘rich interactivity and ease of use’, calling it a fast-loading site that allows visitors to browse through Dessy’s many bridesmaid gowns and color selections.

The site, 100% designed and built by Portent, includes the latest version of the Dessy Colorfinder – visitors can select dress styles, then see how the dresses appear in available colors. Dessy.com also applies CSS2 standards for a fast-loading, consistent user experience across the widest range of web browsers.

Portent and the Dessy Group have worked together since 2001. The collaboration has produced three iterations of Dessy.com, and new tools: The Dessy Retailer Response system lets visitors contact retailers directly, while the accessories and fabric store lets those visitors order swatches and accessories directly from Dessy.

Macromedia gives their Site of the Day award to sites “based on their use of strong visual designs, superior functionalities, and innovative uses of Macromedia products.”
