Lankcom Comolodies (Pvt) Ltd
Project Overview
The LANKCOM website was designed and developed in 2004 as a fully Flash-based corporate website to promote the company's Sri Lankan food products to international markets. As an established exporter serving customers across Europe, Asia, and other regions, the company required an engaging online presence that reflected its professional image and showcased its product range.
Unlike conventional HTML websites of the period, the entire user experience was built within a single Flash application, providing smooth transitions, animated navigation, and an interactive product presentation.
Website Structure
The website consisted of three primary sections:
- Profile – Company background, history, and export expertise.
- Products – Interactive catalogue featuring 14 Sri Lankan food products with photographs and detailed product information.
- Contact – Company contact information with an online enquiry form developed using Classic ASP.
Product Showcase
One of the key features of the website was the interactive product catalogue. Visitors could browse product categories visually, select individual products, and instantly view product descriptions within animated pop-up panels without leaving the current page. Product images could also be enlarged through the Flash interface, creating a rich multimedia browsing experience that was considered highly innovative for its time.
Design Concept
The website was designed to reflect the company's international export business through a clean, professional interface with rich multimedia elements. Flash animation was used extensively to create seamless page transitions, animated menus, and interactive content while maintaining a consistent corporate identity.
The interface was designed to be intuitive and visually engaging, enabling international buyers to explore the company's products in an attractive and user-friendly environment.
Development Approach
The website was developed using Macromedia Flash and ActionScript to deliver a fully interactive user experience. Product information and navigation were integrated into the Flash application, while the contact page utilized Classic ASP to process visitor enquiries submitted through the online contact form.
The project demonstrates the capabilities of multimedia web development during the mid-2000s, when Flash was widely adopted for premium corporate websites.
Designer & Developer Perspective
This project highlights my experience in designing and developing multimedia-rich corporate websites during the Flash era. By combining creative interface design, animation, and interactive product presentation, the website provided an engaging platform for promoting Sri Lankan food products to an international audience. It reflects the web design trends of the mid-2000s, when Flash technology enabled immersive user experiences well before modern HTML5 web applications became the industry standard.
