Client Project! Progress...

I have now completed all of the pages with the new design including images (thanks to my sister!) in html and created the CD animation ready to be inserted into the html either tonight or tomorrow. I also have sent out a user feedback email with a link to the working site so far and a short survey and will use any replies I get to that to make the suggested improvements tomorrow ready for the hand in Friday :)

I have already had a few mentioning the fact that the image overlaps the text so that's one thing I definitely need to sort tomorrow!!

Client Project! Final Design

After a final discussion with Simon (client) I have come to a final design. It has a lighter theme and moving the CD navigation incorporates it better into the design. I now just have to make the dreamweaver designs and all will be done :)

Client Project! Lighter colour designs

Here are a few lighter coloured designs I put togther tonight....thoughts please :)

Client Project! Final Design Development after presentations

Ok from feedback after presentation (which went well!) Simon mentioned he wasn't too keen on the layout so I thought I would have a play around and move things around a bit. Once I moved the CD navigation to the side I decided I preferred it there and have now decided this is my final design layout (and will not change!). I emailed Simon the new layout and set to work on adding images and developing my interactive element which I have now completed. And these are how the pages are looking at this current stage.

To view the interactive element please click here!

Simon got back to me and is still not sure on the colour schemes with the dark colour of the background so I am now trying some new ideas with that....which I will add soon so feel free to comment :) as once I have chosen I can start my user testing!

Client Project! Flash Banner Animation

Done the first flash banner and surprsingly with very little problems! Next is just to recreate the animation in the different colours :) To view the animation click here.

Client Project! HTML Template continued - pages

I have continued work on the templates to include the HTML static versions of the Flash Banner and created the main homepage.

Personalised web advertising another step forward!

I was doing a bit of online shopping for my friends sons christmas present and had been on the 'Marks&Spencer' website as they had some dinosaur toys and he is obsessed with dinosaurs. Later that evening I was browsing 4OD when an advert caught my eye as I realised it was the products I had viewed earlier!

I followed the link to find out more about the provider and found it was a company called 'Criteo' which tracked users views so they could target them specifically later with the products they viewed helping to encourage customers who viewed products and then left the site without buying to return to the site and purchase them.

I found it quite strange to think that my viewing history was being tracked without me even knowing and wonder just how many websites are using this new marketing trend!

Client Project! HTML Template

Today I begun work on the chosen design for the simulated client brief and the basic template for the pages has been completed, as has the homepage, and the HTML version of the banner for the main page. The pages now just have to filled with the information, images and interactive element at a later date.

I had a few issues with the main text area where the css was unaliging it so that will also need to be resolved once I manage to work out whats causing it!
