The Proposal

Your idea to create a bold, user-friendly and interactive website for Saint John 225. Please describe your creative process, including design influences and technology recommendations, and your proposed work schedule, including preliminary deadlines, for the design and deployment of the website.

My creative process: is first thinking of color’s, design, layout, and functionality.  Once I find a color scheme I’ll work it together with some graphics till I get something that I think look’s nice and works well. Relay what I have done back to the client for approval now if there is some changes need made they will be done and sent back for approval. Once the look and feel is approved I move onto cutting up the images and placing them into tables and cell in html. Now at this point I might decided to use a little animation that’s were flash comes in. I can add animations of text and images throughout the site to liven it up some which can add a professional look but not to busy to hurt the eyes. Once the design is done for the main page I will create the sub-pages and text and images and link them all together.  Once all these task are complete and maybe a few tweaks from the client I will then access the hosting companies server and upload the site. From there I can access the server at anytime to be able to update the client’s site for them.

Including design influences and technology: Well there is so much media around us Video, Advertising, Internet. You get bits and pieces from all of that and put that together to create a look and feel for the client. You see people’s layouts and how they put things text and images here and there. After years of doing this I just need some company info (A Topic) of what the company is about and I can through them together a couple of mock up design’s in a couple of hours.

Technology Recommendations: My work process is that I design everything custom from scratch in Photoshop once the client approves the look and feel I will then cut it up in Photoshop and then place it in Microsoft Front Page in tables and cells create the sub-pages place the text and images in place then upload the site with my FTP software. The more back end software and database stuff will be taken care of by my partner Jason Timms.

Proposed work schedule: Available at all times.
