Staff presented feedback from the City Council and the Tourism Committee to Revize. The links are to the new mock up the design team has produced after this meeting: Home page http://cms5.revize.com/revize/designs/minnesota/scandia_mn/home1.html Interior page http://cms5.revize.com/revize/designs/minnesota/scandia_mn/inner1.html Mega Menu http://cms5.revize.com/revize/designs/minnesota/scandia_mn/menu.html We are currently in Phase Two of eight total phases. 1. Initial Setup/Meetings/Designer Selection (1-2 weeks) 2. Discover and Design Approval (6-8 weeks) 3. HTML Development (2-4 weeks) 4. CMS Enabling (5-6 weeks) 5. Quality Assurance/Accessibility/Custom Development (3 weeks) 6. Sitemap Development and Content Migration (3-4 weeks) 7. Training, Beta Site Review (1-3 weeks) 8. Go-Live After Revize is notified by staff of a formal acceptance of the design, any later design related changes will be billed at $100/hour rate. Design related changes include colors, fonts, layouts, etc. Colors: I've made the red color more of a rusty red and I've incorporated your blue colors throughout. • Rounded look: I've rounded the edges of all buttons and on any shape that had sharp edges previously. • Images: I've swapped out all stock images I used previously with images you provided. • Search: I've changed the color of your search box to white. The color change helps to make it more subtle while still standing out and being easy to find because of the placement. • Calendar: I've replaced the listed events with a grid calendar. Here, users will be able to see events on any given day and they can click to find out more about each event. If you have more events than the ones displayed on any given day, there will be link saying how many more events are scheduled for that day which the user can click to view. • Explore: I reworked this section and changed the background image to one that you provided. I also enlarged the circles here and moved all of the text into the circle. I've made the background boxes your red color as well. • About: Here is an about section that I've added with some text, a button to read more and some images. • Tourism: Here is your tourism section. You can use the text here to highlight information about Scandia's tourism and there is a button to learn more. (INNER PAGE) I've made all styling adjustments here to match the home page. (MEGA MENU) This is a mockup of what your menu will look like.
