Company name: Visual Packaging Group, LLC.

Company profile: Visual sells packaging equipment used to package retail products and specialized industrial applications.
The equipment we sell is both our own design and manufacture as well as re-selling of other manufacturer’s equipment under our name. We are adding new lines of equipment.
We also supply spare parts and tooling.

Traffic comes to our site primarily through PPC ads and industry websites. We would like to have multiple landing pages. These are typically the product type ‘home’ pages (i.e., skin packaging, blister sealing, etc.). Whereas the navigation through the site works, we need to make it easier to understand and quicker to get from one location to the next. Another option could be to use actual finished product pictures to direct people to the appropriate machines rather than machine description.

Domain name: www.visualpackaging.com or www.thermoforming.net

What is the scope of this project?: Redesign, update of the look and feel of the site as well as improve the navigation system. Also change the flashing gif image. We would like a home page and sample product page.

Who is the intended audience?: We typically speak to plant managers and engineering departments in larger companies. We also speak with a lot of business owners of small operations looking to market a new product. However we sell mostly through distributors.

Mood or tone?: We want to project a professional image that identifies Visual as the premier manufacturer in the industry.

Color psychology?: The prefered colors are red and black but we are open to options.

Any dynamic elements?: We would like to have a monthly news section. Our primary purpose is to have prospects call or e-mail us.

Who are your main competitors?: The companies listed here are mainly competitors.
http://www.alloyd.com
http://www.starview.net
http://www.algus.com/
http://www.ampakco.com/
http://www.zedindustries.com/


What resources can you provide?: We can provide logos and pictures on the site as you see them.

Websites you like: www.algus.com

Deadline: May 28, 2006

Here is an idea. I refreshed the logo for the design and kept the old identity at the bottom but if you prefer to keep the previous website identity I can try another design, just wanted to give it a try to this idea I had in my mind :D

Hello
First response is for Aliska,
We liked your design,
We definately like the phone,
a few changes:
1. I am uploading our new logo to replace what was on the website, we would like to see that incorporated at the top.
2. I also updated a new image of the machine you incorporated in your banner, SDS6.
3. We would like to fade the top US flag and made in usa a little maybe 50-60%.
4. We would like to see the product picture(the picture under Gurantee to be bigger and in the middle and different product buttons around it, possibly in the future we would like to add an element where picture changes as you mouse over the buttons.
The news and events is ok, maybe a little smaller when you increase the middle picture.
The product windows toward the bottom are good.
The bottom part looks good.
Thanks

Sure, no problem, but I am afraid I am not being able to download the new logo. I already did the rest of the images but the browser informs me of an error in the file on the logo.

let's try this logo, cutoff the PMMI part, you might have to increase the text size.

Hello Folks,
Sorry for the long delay.
We are ready to close this project.
We still like Aliska'a design best.
I would like to see a few changes and finish.
1. Need to move the machine image with buttons around
it to second place instead of third.
2. Need to change the machine in the header to sds6c pic
keeping the same effect.
2. Add one more square like the AS1012 on the bottom
Thanks

Hello Aliska,

We would like the three machines on the bottom to be side by side.

Also in the future we need the ability to change the buttons on top and bottom, can we do that.
Thanks

Aliska

Hello

As for buttons - sure, they will be text based, so you can change them easily.

That looks great!
How about the product page?

Aliska
09-05-2006, 10:13 PM
Good.
What kind of info you would like to see on product page?

komplete
09-06-2006, 07:56 PM
This is an example of current product page
http://www.thermoforming.net/ctt1824.htm
not very good.
The product information will remain same the layout needs to
tie to the product group page
http://www.thermoforming.net/skinpack.htm
and to main page.
Thanks

Sub page idea. What do you think?

Looks good,

Aliska

Hello.
Good. Do you have any requirements to HTML coding? Would you prefer table based or Div-based coding?

komplete
09-10-2006, 08:38 AM
Aliska,
To be honest I do not know the difference,
I normally use Frontpage to make updates.

09-11-2006, 07:28 PM
Aliska,
If it is not too much trouble can you give me both?
Thanks

Aliska
09-11-2006, 10:14 PM
Hello
If you're using any type of CMS you better need table-based coding, because it will be easier for you to make changes by yourself and implement it. But I can combine both styles so design weight will be less and page will load quicker. What do you think?

09-12-2006, 11:06 AM
