website wireframes

[Heather James]

After our meeting yesterday, Denise and I drafted some wireframes. I literally whipped these up in illustrator for Eddie Johnston.

Eddie, you can call me or Denise about them.

Anyone else might have comment. I am in a rush to meeting (w Feargal!), and don't have a chance to export each page as PDF. if someone else has time, pls do! The bottom layer has the nev menu; and each layer is named for the page/section it is modelling.

The feel:

The site pages should not scroll over 1-1.5 pages at this stage. Brief information. Punchy text, clear, to the point.

The look:

Bright/friendly but professional. Less Sunday Business Post, more Fast Company. Any other look/feel recommendations and link to give to Eddie?

The content:

The main focus should be on highlighting connecting opportunity for facebook & linkedin sponsorship opportunity (e.g. on 'stream page' have a "Sponsor this stream" graphic where shown).

Denise is working on  'unpublishing' old content on the site and adding in new content. 'About' page with list of people, sponsorship pages, connect page, and each stream's page.

To volunteers: do you have photos of your lovely faces? Please email to Eddie/Denise/Myself to be included on the site. People LOVE faces. Makes a huge difference.

Basic outline:

Home

Each stream page (brief info, and space to list speakers when possible)

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to upload a file with my reply on the site, so I'm emailing it and suspect it will create a new topic.

Here is a PDF of the wireframes Heather created (so you all can see), and for your consideration, an alternative homepage layout.

Best,

Justin

For some reason Preview on the MAC isn't displaying the file
correctly, except for the last page. Acrobat is fine. Sorry if others
are having issues.

Justin that looks great! FYI- opened in Firefox from Gmail, and it shows all the pages fine. Also, no new thread created as long as we keep subject line intact.

Eddie, what do you think?

I wonder what the subsequent pages would look like?

Justin- do you have ideas for a graphics for the header? I think plain text would be fine, if we can fine a nice title font.
