Here is my entry

I like the overall look and feel of your design. It has a soft, non-threatening feel.
Suggestions: 1. Let's try the "Welcom to" line on top in bold. Place the current heading where the Welcome line is now and keep it bold, but slightly smaller font. Have it say: family dentistry * cosmetic dentistry (with dentistry spelled out twice). 2. I'd like the "links" tab as a heading to replace "latestnews". Underneath will be links to relevant sites. 3. Keep the logo the same color in the smaller version. 4. "Our location" should be two words
And, if you can, I'd like to see an alternate color scheme. Thanks again...

[Severner]

Just to let you know.. I have started working on my concept and should have it for you in a few days if not sooner.


Thanks very much,

Sev (:

[Fabian]

Hi,I'll also be joining in soon:)

[Fabian]

Hi,here is my entry :)

[Aliska]

Hello
I'm also working on my concept

[Anne]

Here are the requested, pluss some more, changes.

Let me know if you want to see more color variations.

Anne

[Zoe]

here is an idea from me.

Thanks

Zoe

[sjbrazis]

Severner and Aliska, I look forward to seeing your entries.
Anne: I like the changes. I would like the heading "Steven J. Brazis DDS" at the top, in bold, slightly larger font than the "family dentistry line". I like your original color scheme, with perhaps a picture of a family in the right corner. For the buttons at the bottom, the top middle button is redundant with the bottome left button. This could be changed to dentures, which should not be combined with implants.
Fabian: I like the top portion. The links tab on the left should not be a tab, but a heading for the links underneath. I would like to see a warmer color scheme. On the bottom, Crowns should be combined with veneers, bonded tooth colored should include the word fillings and bridges can stand alone.
Zoe: This is a fresh concept. I like the color blend with the logo. I do need my name "Steven J. Brazis DDS" to appear prominently on the page somewhere. I think also there are too many teeth clustered in the pictures. It seems a little overwhelming. Perhaps some people and families. Also, the line "family * cosmetic dentistry" should read "family dentistry * cosmetic dentistry".
Everyone: If someone could find a picture of an actual dental implant with a crown on it that could be a useful image. Thanks for your work.

[Zoe]

Thank you for the feedback.

Here are some changes.

[Zoe]

slight changes, including one tone on navigation to rollover to full colour images on mouseover.

[Aliska]

Hello
Please check concept from me

[clink]

I'll have my design for you tonight.

[clink]

Here is where I'm at with my design so far:

Feedback is greatly appreciated..

[sjbrazis]

Sorry everyone for the delay. The 4th of July holiday here was a time I promised my family. I and my staff are evaluating today and will be posting soon. Thank you everyone for your excellent designs. :D

[sjbrazis]

Anne: Nice family picture on top. Could you raise my name line to the middle of this section and use just a slightly larger font? For the pictures down below, I'd like to see an implant in the implant restoration button, an older person for the denture picture and more of a head shot of a nice looking person for the bridges button. And the overall color needs a little work, it's just a little too bland.
Fabian : I would like my name centered in the top section with a larger font and bolded. Separate the links section from the tabs above. The top and middle pictures are great. The lower procedure button pictures need some work. I'd like to see an implant with crown on the implant button. The dentures and bonded tooth colored buttons are good. The bridges and crowns, veneers buttons are too much alike. And perhaps a little bit lighte color for the background of the buttons.
Zoe : I like the top section. Underneath that, if you could center the Welcome and put my name underneath that, I'd like to see how that would work. The lower section needs some work. There's too much text section here. At the bottom, we'll need a copyright line also.
Aliska : I like the top section of your design as well (the first one with the family). Fresh concept. However, I don't want a testimonial section on the main page. I like the map display. The bottome area needs some more color to it. I don't like the second design, with the apple, as well.
Clink : I like your background with the clouds a lot. The design needs a little more color overall and some pictures of people would help with that. Also, I think the design might be a little wide for browser optimization. What do you think?

[clink]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll start on revisions asap. And as for browser optimization its actually ok, the only bit that wouldn't fit on is the background either side of the layout but that can just be set as the background to appear on higher resolutions. So the actual layout itself fits on no problem and the background is flexible.

[Zoe]

Thank you for the feedback.

Here is my revision.

I must add that I did a lot of searching to try and find the photos that you have been asking for, however to get really good dentistry photos they can cost over $60 each and more.

The photos I have included are affordable and I will be able to cover this cost should you decide to use ths design.

Thank you

Zoe

[Aliska]

Hello
Please check revisions from me.

[Fabian]

Here is my revised design.

As this requires specialize photography images tend to be very expensive, one option is take a couple of in-house photos at the clinic that we can use in our designs.

[Anne]

How is this?

Anne

[sjbrazis]

I want to thank everyone who participated in my project for your ideas and your hard work. It is very difficult to choose between excellent designs, however, I have to choose one and so my choice goes with Anne. I like your last design very much Anne. Let's work together to on any final tweeking and wrap up a design. Thank you.

[Anne]

Sounds good, and thank you for choosing my design :)

Anne

[Zoe]

Congratulations Anne. :)

Steven, I have moved this thread to the Revisions forum so you can continue to work with Anne on your design. Once it is finalised and you have received the files from Anne, please post back here to let us know.

I hope you have enjoyed your experience at Design Outpost.

Thanks

Zoe

[sjbrazis]

Anne, Thank you for your concept. I would like to see what you have for the internal page. I am also not quite happy with the picture for the implant button on the main page. I will see if I can locate a picture to upload for you, but otherwise I think the main page is great.

[Anne]

How is this for the inner page.

Anne

[sjbrazis]

Let's put the various procedure links on the left side in place of the "links" section that was on the main page. Those links don't need to be on every page.

[Anne]

I have coded the pages so if you can take a look at it and see if it looks ok, or if there are something I need to move around before sending the files to you. Also i need to know if the pictures used are ok so I can purchase the ones I need.

Anne

[sjbrazis]

I would like to see the revision with the markers to the various procedures on the left where the links are, so I can see how that looks. I don't need those links that were on the main page on every page.

Also, I have attached an image of an implant. See if you can place that on the implant button on the first page.

[sjbrazis]

Sorry, Anne! I didn't see the links to the pages. Now I see what you did with the procedures. That looks good, except that I would like to label that list of procedure links "Procedures" rather than "Links".

[Anne]

How is this?

http://www.alandresen.no/do/th/

[sjbrazis]

Sorry, I probably confused the issue last time around. On the main page, the left side panel can say "Links" and will include links to related web sites of use to patients, such as insurance companies, dental societies, specialists, etc.

On the internal page, the left side panel will include a label for whatever subject is appropriate for that page (such as "Procedures") and have listed underneath links or markers to go that subheading: bonded fillings, implant restorations, etc. I hope that helps.

The implant picture looks great! Thanks

[Anne]

Ok, I will correct the links and send you the files.
