Project details

Encircle was launched in 2002, as a Voice Over IP (VOIP) product offered by Netspace Online Systems. Already working at Netspace, I was brought onto the project to design the site, and produce the site’s templates and CSS.

I also contributed significantly to the site architecture, including the structure of the online application and account management system.

After the site’s launch, I continued to maintain the site’s content, updating it on a regular basis, and restructuring elements of the general information, account management, and signup processes.

After my role was restructured into the marketing department at Netspace, my involvement in Encircle became minimal. Since early 2004, Encircle has been scheduled for redevelopment under the Netspace brand.
