Hello Blair,

Is that the best logo you can get a hold of? It is quite small and a little blurry.

Thanks

Zoe

[e2solutions]

Is this one better?

Thanks!
Blair

[Zoe]

Thanks Blair. That's much better. :)

[BrianDove]

here is my go at it :yes:

thank you,

Brian

[e2solutions]

One more logo and a fun tag line to think about!

Thanks,
Blair

[e2solutions]

Brian,

I really like aspects of this including the burner image as well as the item view.

I'm not sure about the white text on the dark blue background for the small nav in the upper right. Additionally, there is a lot of dark blue space up there and we usually optimize our ecomm site for 800x600 so can we tighten that up?

Also, let's do a smaller amount of introductory text with a "Learn More" to bring the products up a bit.

And can we work with a contrasting color in the left navigation and with the "Add to Cart" button?

Thanks!
Blair

[BrianDove]

updated version :rolleyes:

I have put a bit more free space on the page, it looked a bit too busy. Also, one option is to put the product section on top of the introductory text. Advise me if the left navigation is still not standing out as much as you want it to.

Tell me your thoughts on this one, I will be glad to make some modifications.

Thank you!
Brian

[BrianDove]

here is a different and new version :)

I'll be posting my entry soon :D

Here is my idea :D Silver-Blue, stylish concept. I wanted to build a modern site that do not remembered only the flame concept but also the metalic components of a burner.

EASY TO READ... SIMPLE TO NAVIGATE.

Hi,Here's my entry.

[clink]

Will be posting my design soon. :)

[e2solutions]

Brian,

I like nav and header image of #8 but I like the grid view of products in #9.

Also, although I am now looking at the buttons to Add to Basket, I'm not sold on the red. What about keying off the yellowish color we're seeing in some of the images? I am liking the muted goldish.

I'd like to see space for the block of content and then some sort of defined footer content box (including customer service, ordering questions
security logos, learning center etc. and we need a lower navigation.

Will

Loving the header.

I really like the way you have laid this out, but we definitely want to trim down the current homepage content - or push it well below the fold. I need a grid view of featured products, hot deals etc.

I like how you have the manufacturers at the base of the page but could we do a smattering of logos instead and then a see more...?

Can you also figure out a way to incorportate secure shopping logos and such?

Also, we need a block near the bottom for customer service and maybe a learning center. I actually think some of the technical spec images found here (http://www.burnerparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=SR)
among other locations might suit well to your design and could be used as a graphic or image? I dunno...

Essentially we need to de-textify this client and push them in a young, cleaner, more usable and graphic direction. :-)

Fabian

I like how clean and simple this is. I feel like it will resonate with their client base.

Can we get some more images/buttons? I think we need to liven it up just a bit. :-)

I'd like Request a Free Quote to be a button, Add to Cart to draw the eye a bit more, graphics to the left of the left nav selections to start.

I need a block for content/text.

[e2solutions]

Clink - we look forward to your submission!

[will]

Hi, Sorry for the delay, but the changes were many and I wanted everything to be perfect. :P I used real images for the products to avoid the illusion
of symmetry if some images are smaller than others. For the companies I looked for the logos but I am not sure if they are the right ones. On the end
I kept the integrity of the design increasing a lot the imagery of the content and adding a good amount of white space by removing the right column
and the blue box that surrounded the left menu. Hope you like it :D

Here is my design:

I kept things simple in order to appeal to your target audience and encourage the maximum number of sales. I hope that you like it :)

[Fabian]

Thanks Blair,made some changes to mine.

[e2solutions]

Will!

Thank you everyone for your creativity and designs. The client has decided that Will's design fits best with their aesthetic.

Congrats!

Hi, Blair, thanx for choosing my concept. I'll be waiting for the revisions :D

[Zoe]

Blair,

I have moved your project to the Revisions Forum. Please check back here once you have received the files.

Thank you

[e2solutions]

Hi Will,

Some quick changes:

We need small upper right navigation with:
Login, Contact Us, View Cart, My Account

I'd like the main navigation to be:
Products, Manufacturers, Help Center, Learning Center

The tagline needs to be:

"You can’t be cool unless you’re runnin’ hot" not "you are"

Thank you!
Blair

[will]

Changes :D
