3b) What colors or color schemes would you like?
I like my current color pallet, I may have a bit too much of that orange though.
4b) List the Navigation links for your Site:
The site has several repetitive navigation metaphors that are designed to keep users clicking and to provide a quick demonstration of the true vastness of our selection.
1) side navigation tree, this is a collapsing cascading menu that lists categories and sub-categories in a hierarchy.
2) Drop down menus, 1 main drop down in header, and each category that has sub-categories has its on drop down menu in the category head
3) Search
4) Breadcrumbs menu on the top of every product and category page reveals where you are in the site’s navigation
5) “more like this” link on product pages take you back to the product’s “home” category
6) related products on category pages show other similar products
7) a few category/sections have different navigation schemes, for example the Gift Selector has a icon field, the MUSIC alphabetical section has a alphabetical text navigation scheme and world flags and major leaque sports have special navigation schemes that we use.
5b) What type of look are you trying to achieve?
a slightly updated look with a more polished modern feel.
6b) Please provide the addresses of competitors' sites, if possible:
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/search/search.aspx?q=bumper-stickers
http://www.cafepress.com/ibs1
7b) Do you have any images for use in the design of your site? If not, do you have images, can you offer suggestions of what you type of imagery you feel would be most suitable for your website: The logo is the image I use, the rest of the site iis loaded with images of the product I sell, and the site and navigation is merely the wrapper
Deadlines and Deliverables
1c) What is the deadline for the design of your project?
June 1st
2c) What is required breakdown of the files you require our designers to supply you with on finalization of your project?
Concepts only, final art may be requested, this is a concept exploration, to see what the design outpost team can come up with.
Are there any other comments/specific ideas we should keep in mind while designing your project?
Approach this project as if you were designing a new “skin” as far as the guts of the home page I am looking for ideas on what could possibly replace what I have.
Keep in mind that the site has elements you need to work with to do a template:
1) global header
2) global footer
3) common left hand navigation tree and accompanying elements
4) category page sub-header
5) category page sub-footer
Then there are 2 site-wide basic layouts plus the Home Page
1) Product Page (2 layouts) http://www.stickergiant.com/page/sg/PROD/greeting_cards/gc0908
http://www.stickergiant.com/page/sg/PROD/j/afg134
2) Category Page
http://www.stickergiant.com/page/sg/CTGY/b
3) Home Page:
http://www.stickergiant.com/
Designers should do concepts only on the above three pages, and think of this as a redesign of the stickergiant “skin”
