Your Site Message

I will need your input at the early stages of the design process to determine the purpose and expected content of your new web site. I will need you (please) to provide textual content (to describe your product or service) and photographs. These may be related to your product or else they may be a means just to draw attention to the page in some way. Above all your 'message' should be presented to the potential 'customer' both concisely and clearly.

Do you need me to contribute text and photographic content? I will provide draft and final 'copy' and also take high quality photographs of specific subjects relevant to your site if you request that these are required. The world wide web itself provides a massive resource for web site content. Providing permissions are sought and given I can select relevant resources which you may require to enhance your web site. I have documented so many of these during my years of designing and building web interfaces that I'll rarely be stuck for an image or graphic component.

Finally, for those who want to think in a little more depth about new web site layout, there are a wide variety of page layouts on the max designs website MaxDesigns.com

Resources

In this new section I intend to provide links to good quality articles and tutorials for web designers. Future Clients may also wish to browse through these pages to look for relevant information on any new project.

Site Design Phases

A breakdown of the design steps used in defining a web site are shown below. For the new client (hopefully yourself) I will, please, require your contribution to the 'Information Design' stage of the project. The 'Site Design' and 'Page Design steps' will naturally follow on from this requirements capturing activity. Should you choose 'circlewebs.com' to implement your site then the final item 'Web-based Prototypes' is available to you via this website. You may simply login here to view your web page progress.
