Feedback From Client

Met Robin yesterday and here are notes from what we discussed we could improve/change.

Header uses a lot of space, any way to condense it?
 Use funding arts council
 Twitter and fb logos don’t have to be on every page but maybe not put them in footer?
 By news bit on homepage?
Twitter and fb logos should be the original logo so people who use site know what they are.
 Colours are the same but the pencil and green colour have continuity from other site which is good.
 If have time maybe change logo so it isn’t all so square – maybe hand drawn.
 Can we do weekly emails
 Easy to change from public and private?
 Payment should it be on a page with bookings etc or page on its own? – leave to robin
 Stay login for member due to browser?
 Members link drop down Change the studio to bookings and about me to the studio

Robin stated he wanted two calenders on the site, one for events, one for room bookings having a look on google at how easy they are to put into website.

Nottingham Writers' Studio

met our client Robin for the first time yesterday to gather ideas about what he wanted for the site and thoughts on the current NWS site. made a doc. above of what is wanted and what pages etc. Robin made is clear he thought the current site was redundant & needs a coherent design. pages to be kept the same as current site but condense down more as a lot of info. is repeated on different pages. design needs to grab attention and we are free to change the logo and pretty much use any colour scheme we like.

Time Schedule

Timetable to meet deadline.
