Posted by Charlotte Lamb, designer at I to Eye.

For my first blog post (ever) I am going to take a quick look at one of our more recent web design projects and examine some of the the reasons behind the decisions I made when designing it.

 Janet Ashfield of Mpowerme is a life coach and she came to I to Eye for a re-design of her existing website. In contrast to many clients Janet already had a lot of written material for the site and because of her existing site she also had ideas about how the site would be structured and the audience she wanted to reach. So my contribution more than anything else was to provide a design that would allow her text to become the centre of attention and provide a means for the visitor to navigate through the pages easily.

So the design became a series of boxed links on the hame page to allow visitors to locate the precise service they were interested in and an array of links across the top of the pages so any page can be accessed at any time.

 I followed the style and colours of the logo Janet already had closely because it had a lot of impact and it felt right to extend it across the website balanced by the white background of the pages.
