[jamielupton]

Admin code added by Abby - 1U021481UC3799308

We are currently developing our website which will be at http://www.justnaturals.com

The following pages are needed:

Home

Category Page

Product Page

Content Page - Will be used for T&Cs, Privacy Policy, Delivery Information, Site Security, About Us pages etc

Contact Us Page - Will be nicely formatted into sections and have a formatted form.

Design requirements

The layout of this site does not need to be in pure css, tables are fine. However, things like text sizes, fonts, colours etc should be in css as should form items for formatting. Use as little as is needed or as much as you want.

For the template, we need the following main links:

Home, Products A-Z, Shipping & Postage Info, Site Security, FAQs

And 2 specially placed links for: View Cart, Checkout

(We do not need to show the items in checkout).

Then down the side we need the category links table.

On the home page we need an area to introduce ourselves and then room for say 6 featured products.

(www.healthspan.co.uk gives a good idea of how this could be laid out).

At the bottom needs to be a table for Copyright, Terms, Privacy Links etc...

Category Page

We need nicely formatted products (in containers or boxes etc) down the page while the navigation stays on the left.

Product Page

We need a nicely formatted product area with picture, area for description and area for add to cart options.

Content Page

Needs nothing on it apart from the header, side and bottom nav

Contact us Page

This needs formatting nicely in sections which are

Bit of introductory text

Post

Phone

Contact Form

Here is an idea from me...

Hi Kelly,

What a fantastic start, I really like it.

With the tabs i'd prefer it if we had tabs of slightly different widths to reflect the length of the links.

With Shipping/Postage I'd prefer it to be Shipping & Postage Info and the FAQs one could be narrower etc..

Also I'm a fan of icon/buttons for add to cart/more info etc so that is worth having a look at - if you could play around a bit...

but in general I really like it!

Also upon second perusal, I think the image at the top might be a bit too high and take up a lot of users screens not allowing them to see the products. Could we try making that a bit smaller somehow.



Cheers

jamie.

Hi Jamie :)

Thank you for your comments so quickly, I will work on getting these done and get back to you.

[KellyB]

Hi Jamie, Here are those changes...

I've cut down the size of the top image. This could be replaced with an image of choice of course.

I've changed the widths of the navigation tabs.

I've added in a few more icons :)

Hi, expect an entry from me.

... and my entry

[jamielupton]

Hi Kelly,

Getting closer now. I still think we need to do something more with the tabs. Like maybe highlight them or something. They feel a bit flat at the moment.

I like the icons with the products. This is what I had in mind.

The icon next to shop by category seems to look like a mobile phone so i think we can do without that.

The search box needs to go somewhere else. So my idea for that would be at the top above the shop by category but in a nice search box region (maybe inside a rounded rectablge coloured or something) - or the other place which would be better from a usability point of view would be some way of putting it top left.

With the image at the top, obviously that would change but could do with a way of giving it something more. How about a peeled over bottom right hand corner revealing something?

Just trying to give it that x factor.

Cheers

jamie.

Hi Vhq,

Thanks for the entry. Can you initially have a look at using better fonts. It look a bit amateurish with the fonts particularly on the 'Choosing the natural approach'.

Have a read through the communications so far with the other designers to get a better idea of what I need.

Thanks

Jamie.

[KellyB]

Changes coming your way soon Jamie :) I agree, the Xfactor is what makes the site :)

Revised entry

[Anne]

Hi

Here is my entry

Anne

[jamielupton]

Hi Anne,

Thank you for your entry. Again the top image needs something doing. it feels too big as I'm worried about it taking up the window on a small monitor/low res. Also would like to do something with it to make a bit more than a picture... Any ideas.

Also would be looking for a 'More Info' button as well as a add to cart button on the front page products. Can you find something to do with the buttons across the top a little bit more special...any ideas.

I do really like the design though.

Many thanks

Jamie.

I am working on a concept for you. I will try to have it posted as soon as possible. :)

[vhgdesign]

Any feedback regarding my revision?
Thanks.

[KellyB]

Here are my revisions :)

I hope they are what you are looking for and if you have any other suggestions / changes I'd be happy to do them for you. The advert that is shown under the corner peel can be changed to advertise anything on the site.
