Hello Designers! Here is my info, feel free to ask any questions.
I am an easy going person and would love to see your ideas.

1a) Name of Company

-McMeen Landscaping

1b)Company Tag Line or slogan:

Landscaping for Premier Properties

1c) Do you have a company logo?

I have a logo, but I do not care much for it and would rather not have it used. Anything will do.



1d) Do you have a corporate visual identity (a customized (non stock) logo and color scheme

carried out throughout your office, stationery, business cards, etc.)?

-Hunter Green/ Dark Blue are colors that I would like used.

1e) What is the nature of your business?: Briefly describe your products or services:

-THis is a Landscape Construction Company. I DO NOT mow grass. We do Landscape Design and Construction, New Plantings, Natural Stone Walls, Paver Patios and Walkways, Mulching, and New Lawn Installations

1f) Who is your target market? Who are you hoping to reach with your site?

-People who own homes and can afford to spend significant money on premier landscaping for their home.


Website Details

1b) Do you have an existing website? If so, what is the URL?

www.mcmeenlandscaping.com

2b) IMPORTANT: Please list at least 3 URLs (web addresses) of high quality sites that you like the look of (these do not have to be sites who’s business is similar to yours. It aids us in determining what your design style is.) Please consider layout, colors, navigation, graphics, and
typography.

-I really like 2 website ideas that were samples on Design Outpost. Please see

3b) What colors or color schemes would you like?

-Hunter Green and Dark Blue, but any idea that you have is ok.

4b) List the Navigation links for your Site:

HOME
SERVICES
PICTURES
ABOUT US
CONTACT US




5b) What type of look are you trying to achieve? (e.g. clean, high-tech, conservative, warm,

flashy, etc.)

-I am looking for a clean, but strong website that is "Classy" I.e. one that would follow my theme
of "Landscaping for Premier Properties." However, I would like it to also have a "warm" look to it.

6b) Please provide the addresses of competitors' sites, if possible:

www.foxhollowinc.com



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:


-I would like a really nice "Header" Graphic used in the site that incorporates the pictures that
I use in my brochure. I will attach these pictures to the post.






Deadlines and Deliverables

1c) What is the deadline for the design of your project?

-Ideally, Jan 10th. However, I am flexible, (but I am going away for some of January.)

2c) What is required breakdown of the files you require our designers to supply you with on

finalization of your project?

-Whatever is the easiest to supply me with to get the site working.



Are there any other comments/specific ideas we should keep in mind while designing your project?


-I would like a template designed that would simply act as the foundation of my website. I am web savvy and once I have the template, I would like to add my own "tweaks" to the site, as well as add new pictures. Maybe the best way would be to use html? (I do have Dreamweaver.)

-As I said before, I am only looking for a simple, yet clean site. However, I really would appreciate a nice header with the pics I supplied.

Aliska- Thank you for your entries. I really like all of them.

But I must say that I was blown away by your first entry!

The only comment that I have is whether you could simply change the stock picture of the waterfall that you have to the picture that I have included "pool15.gif" in same size with the rounded corners as you did.

If you could simply show me how it would look with that pic, that would be great!

Hello Jon

You mean that image?

Aliska-thanks for showing me that little tweak with the picture. I would like to use that space to highlight current projects, so that first template works really well.



I have decided that Aliska is easliy the winner on this one.

I am extremely happy with what was submitted because it was EXACTLY what I had in mind. I do not need to see anymore.

Thanks

Jon McMeen

Hello Jon :)

Do you need HTML coding for your project? Do you have any requirements to HTML or XHTML?

Aliska-HTML coding would be perfect! I want to keep it as simple as possible.

I assume that you will email me all the files?

Thanks
