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

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.

Nottingham Writers' Studio

Before Easter holidays me, Harry, Lucy & Mark were put into a group for DP3 client group project, we decided to re design the Nottingham Writers' Studio website

Harry has emailed Robin at the studio and a meeting is arranged for 12th April to discuss ideas & plans for the project.

Desktop & Mobile Client Project.

Pretty much done desktop site, still making changes to mobile site which is a stand alone now, javascript code changing the view from desktop to mobile.

More Mobile Design

here's my site when viewed from iphone, exactly the same as desktop. The media query code doesn't change it when sized down like it does when sized down on a browser. Going to try and now use the javascript code for stand alone site and see if that's any better. :(

gallery doesn't work at all.

Mobile

Having to try and do gallery code again as it doesn't work on mobile one when closed to 320px.

Desktop Site

Pretty much done desktop site, struggling with the mobile site as code won't work with the javascript.

Site So Far

Photographer Sites.

Having a look at some photographer sites to get some ideas. Have decided on making a desktop site and to then make a simpler mobile version site.

The pages Liam wants Are
Home
About
Portfolio
Links
Contacts

http://www.stevenbrooksphotographer.co.uk/ This is really simple but the idea of navigation, images moving and contact is what we want to achieve.

http://www.joonsworld.no/ Wayyyyyy too complicated for me but looks amazing.

http://www.dimitristheocharis.com/ Simple colours, images used are relevant to each other. Good font used.

http://www.littlehellos.com/index.php Yet again couldn't do this as I can't illustrate but looks goooooood.

http://www.danielkennedy.com/ Easy to do and looks pretty good, issue is it looks good because the photos are really good quality, not too sure what images Liam wants to use yet..

Also came across http://www.emmanuelrouzic.com/ takes a while to load but looks so creative.
