About the Site / Thanks
Original Launch / Layout & Site Intent
Letter From Silent Heaven was created by John K. and found its way on the web on August 24, 2004.
The launch of the site,
in its original layout, was the end
of an off-and-on eight month long project. The idea behind this site was to show my love and appreciation for Silent
Hill and in particular, Silent Hill 2. After much research and planning, Letter From Silent Heaven housed
a variety of analysis based on the many aspects relating to Silent Hill 2. From the thorough collection of
media and deleted content to the intriguing oddities found in the "Rarities" section, Letter From Silent
Heaven is the home and, for various cases, the online originator of many of these wonders.
Through web design, the goal was to make Letter From Silent Heaven as visually and audibly catching as possible.
This involved unique page visuals, animated Flash sequences, music and ambience depending on the theme of each section.
At the time, my knowledge of HTML and Flash was limited but despite these limitations Letter From
Silent Heaven proved to be a huge hit and became what's arguably the best Silent Hill 2 site on the net.
Launch of New Layout
As popular as the original site is an alternate layout was inevitable. While college, work, and other hobbies delayed the
process, the new layout (which you are currently seeing) saw the light-of-day on September 21, 2009 and is akin to more
traditional sites with its body structure and fixes many browser issues the original site held. More importantly, the new
layout also introduced more content and media for Silent Hill 2 fans to enjoy.
A special thanks goes out to the following. Without your help, the launch of the new layout would not have been possible. Thank you!
