Site Template
Keeping with the site name I chose to design the site template around the idea of a mesh.
My main ideas for DuoMesh’s design include:
- It should be clean and easy to use
- Navigation should be clear and users should be able to identify where they are on the site
- The sites design should be relative to the branding (e.g. could be mesh like)
- Content should be accessible and customisable
- The website site should render/be displayed correctly in the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 5, 6 and 7
- Firefox 1 and 2
- Opera 9
- Safari 2
- Netscape and Camino should work as they now rely on other browsers rendering engines (Firefox and Internet Explorer)
- The design should be attractive to the user
- The site’s content should be able to draw the user in and encourage them to repeat visit the website
My initial design idea was to use black text on a white background. Using a mesh as the background proved to be a bit of a problem as the grey background didn’t make the website stand out at all and it didn’t look very professional. I will be working to improve this design before I make it final:
