Meeting

I had my second meeting with the client yesterday,
i showed her what i had done in terms of brief and plan of action and when i planned to have the website done by.
I discussed giving out a survey and she was fine with that, i will get that out to her in the next few days. I will collect the survey in 2 weeks and collect the results and use them to write a final brief from.



here is the brief as it stands now:
Brief for website of the costume hire shop Indisguise.
(13-03-09)

Issue:
Indisguise is a costume hire company that wishes to expand to selling costumes online. They have a website already but this does not show what costumes are available for sale and is not aesthetically pleasing. The owner wishes to change this in a bid to boost costume sales and raise awareness of the business.

Purpose:
The purpose of this website is to sell costumes to customers, through effectively showing them what is on offer to increase sales. This is to be done in a very easy to use and aesthetically pleasing way to encourage repeat business.

Audience:
The intended audience of the site will be costumers, potential and regular. Also competition and members of the public who want to contact the owner for whatever reason

Text Formatting:
The text will be formatted in the following way,
The heading will be size 14pt and will be the colour black and in the font Veranda
The body text will be the size 10pt and will also be the colour black in in Veranda

Graphics to be included in the website include:
 The indisguise logo
 Pictures of costumes for hire, initially about 80 but in time will grow

Constraints:

 the website must be fully functional with no dead links
 the website must be easy to navigate and understand
