Designer guidelines
We want a clean look.
The objective of this page is to drive traffic to call us or click the contact button, to get to our lead form. So therefore, the Contact button should be prominent (in terms of color, design etc.).
Our logo at top left should not be too big.
We have used this logo for many years, and so you might use the colors from it elsewhere, but we dont want too much blue. We are thinking about using some earth tone colors (you choose) so that we end up with a look that strikes a balance between being professional looking and also not too cold.
We want these pages designed
Homepage to include header, navigation buttons, banner etc. We have uploaded a word doc with a rough mockup of the layout:
Top left our logo
Top center a graphic Contact button
Top right phone number
Below those goes slogan "Internet Marketing...."
Below that is two rows of nav buttons, top row being four larger buttons and lower row being ten smaller buttons
Below that will be a large horizontal banner, which may later be one of serveral rotating banners. This initial one will include 3 jpg images uploaded here (Fairf, Fairf, and Virginia) along with large text saying "Your business featured on our local Maryland and Virginia directories."
Below that banner:
Lower left, a map graphic you create which succinctly conveys the idea that we focus on the area of Northern Virginia and Maryland. We want to downplay Wash DC, which is between the two. This map is not ours to use, but it is a perfect example of the area we need to have shown in our map - http://www.lennharley.com/maps/state/MD and VA Market Area.gif
with caption "Maryland and Northern Virginia specialists. Click for map to our office." (word Click will be hyperlinked)
Lower centered put the Constant Contact logo.
Lower right use istockphoto image (see number in our doc, which we will later purchase) with a caption "We come to you. Contact us today to set an appointment at your business."
This will be a five page site, but the other 4 pages will be the same page, with different banners. The other banners will be 1. a banner filled with screenshots of websites we've done 2. a banner showing a hand holding a smart phone with mobile site (we will provide image) 3. banner will include some screenshots of Google search results and 4. the last banner will just be a collage of some text words and some brand logos. Each banner will also have an imbedded caption of text.
