Client Feedback

Final External Client

Responsive Site

Client Projectttt

After spending yesterday adding content, seems I have actually saved it as it's not there so yesterday was a brilliant waste of time. Seeing Shaun today to show him the site so far. Made a domain so can now view it live & also finally managed to make it responsive although needs some work on postions & that.

Seeing Claire today to show her the progress as she couldnt meet yesterday, sent her emails of screen shots and she seems pleased with it but can now show her it live. Just need to work on responsive code and re add content

On the content page I added her address as map of business which is her house, she didnt want this on but is happy to keep her phone number and likes the email form link

Close To Client Deadlines

Less than 2 weeks to client deadline, been in contact with Claire a lot & she seems to like what I have done, meeting with her tomorrow so she can see it live & then I can make any final changes before Monday then start on evaluation.

Lightbox Gallery

Claire wanted a gallery page to showcase the cakes she has made, I used the lightbox gallery which isn't working on IE at the minute but i'm working on it.

Just Wondering

Why I agreed to do a responsive site, can not for the life of me get it to work, about ready to cry.

Client

Haven't posted about client project for a while, still ongoing with it, meet with Claire regularly to discuss ideas. Explained to her about responsive sites and she decided she wants that, so going to start working on doing that. She liked the lightbox gallery to show the cakes, contact page hasnt been done yet but she wants it connecting to her social networking sites & if possible to also do that on the homepage.

How the homepage currently looks:

jQuery Slider

Trying to find a good j query slider for the home page, have this basic one at the mo but browsing for better onesss

Also going to see if Claire wants social network links on home page

Black To Pink

Claire has said she wanted the text to be pink not black..

May need to changed the navigation colour as it may be too much pink now.

Changed the hover to beige.

Clienttt

Basic Fonts & Colours Mock Ups

Basic mock up to send to Claire to understand what fonts, colours and navigation she likes.

Font

Claire got back to me on the font to use. She wants to "yummy cake" for headings and then just a basic serif font for content.

unsure if to leave black or another colour, going to see other colours i'm using on the page to see how well it will fit in.

online shopping, came across this site which I like, layout & simplicity.

Fontsssss

Some fonts to use for client site, sent them to Claire to see what she likes best for headings etc etcccc

External Client Presentation

Wireframes

Wireframe idea, just basic for 5 page site have emailed them to Claire & she is happy with them but going to design some more & mock ups for her to choose from. I showed Claire my previous work and the options

Coloursssss Etccc

Claire already has a business card she uses although will change it after the website as she would like to include the new logo on it.

The current business card looks like this:

Claire would like to stick to the theme of the cream, pink and brown colours, I had a look at colour themes on Adobe Kuler. I searched for “cakes” to see some themes I could perhaps discuss and use with Claire.
