1. I need to move up the due date to Jan. 1, 2007

2. A detail - the pic of the girl on the development site http://new.firstplan.com/index.html is just a graphic placeholder - no intention to keep this pic or the layout as a whole.

3. The new top nav and rough home page layout will be as in the attached PDF file.

4. I will be posting a Miscellaneous Project today that will relate to the "CRM Framework" and "T-Cube Process" top nav menus items.

Thanks - Mike

I will be entering this project. However, I cannot start work on the design until next week. I hope this is OK. Regards.

Hi Clink - That will be OK. FYI, I posted a Miscellaneous Project "CRM Framework" that will relate to this site.

Project Update: The project deadline has been updated to Jan 1st 2007 :)

[Flatpik]

The 3 main ideas that will be drive this site will be on the Home page, the CRM Framework Page (see Miscellaneous project) and the T-Cube Process page (I'll be posting this shortly). Everything else will be straight ahead information pages. My goal will be to have these 3 ideas work together in a simple, graceful way.
