Intro
The European DataFlex User Conference (EDUC) is a bi-annual event aimed at DataFlex developers to keep them apprised of the latest developments of our software and to provide them with networking opportunities. For EDUC 2018 we decided to gave the site a facelift to provide a more modern design.
Showcase
Pages have various beautiful backgrounds giving an impression of the location where the conference will be hosted, while not being too distracting.
Previously, everything had its own page, including the contact and register form. Now, everything is easily accessible and doesn't take the user out of its flow.
Unfortunately, mobile versions of sites are often just smaller versions of their desktop counterparts. This means that the experience often hasn't been optimised for that particular device and experience, including finger friendliness.

Here, the most popular pages are always within reach. The EDUC logo remains at the top, which looks best and still provides an easy way to get back to the homepage.
Once the user scrolls down on the Edinburgh page, the three tabs at the top snap into place, providing instant access to the three categories, maintaining clarity with a single-page design.
