- Sample-3: same as 2 above but with the tail extended.
- Sample-4: what we recommend as a modified design. We have reduced the bottom panel to save space.
- Sample-5: same design as 4 above, showing what an internal page will look like... (this is why we recommend sample-4).
- Sample-6: The old preferred design... just in case there are second thoughts !
Please post your comments.
(Pasted from deleted comment)
We seem to have arrived at a point where the design is more or less finalised, at least from the developer's perspective i.e. we hope we can go ahead with building the other pages following this template, without any major reversals! We have put up two more samples of the same design, optimised for space and allignment etc. Please have a look at these
links..
http://www............/Prototype/Default1.aspx
http://................../Prototype/Default2.aspx
We have put some of the menu items as buttons on the left side to reduce clutter and space. These will also have text tooltips that appear when mouse is placed over them. Moving the rest of the menus to the top did not appear good so we have kept it at the bottom; anyway, these are only the reference links. The screen size has been optimised for most common display settings, and for accomodating everything. Placing the punch line at the bottom serves the underscore our USP or 'bottom line'. The advertisement panel on the right provides a means of generating additional revenue and also for advertising our own products. this panel will not exist in the internal pages.The second sample is the same but with the logo changed. Please indicate your choice...
