Re: First Commercial Site

Chris-

Other people have written with very good suggestions, with
regard to the look and color. I want to add one thing with
regard to the presentation you seem to be focusing on.

This page seems to be confused as to what it is. On the
one hand it is a model of what Raley Motors web site
layout could be. On the other hand, it is a page showing
the different options you could offer them.

You are giving a presentation on what? How you can create
a web site for the company, right? It seems to me the page
options are quite generic, with no direct connection to
Raley. That is fine, but then I would lose the Raley logo
across the top, and the non-related navigation bar.

If this is the first time you are talking with them, i
would not worry at all about making it look like "their"
site. Make it your company's site showing the levels of
sites you could do. But I wouldn't focus on it during the
presentation, since you should be talking about their
needs with a web site and how you can meet them. generic
"30 images, 10 pages" aren't relevant once you begin
talking about specfics.

If you have already talked about what they would like in a
web site, I would suggest you spend the time to create
several quite different layouts and color schemes, as he
will undoubtedly dislike some of them. if you only have
one and he thinks it is ugly for whatever reason, what do
you have to show?

This probably ended up having less to do with -critique
and more to do with -business, but oh well.
