Week 12 and Client Meeting!

This week in class Alyssa and I looked at images on the iStock website, and chose more finalized images that we would like to use for our website. So far we bought one image for the homepage and another for the 404 error page. We are going to purchase them this weekend with the credits provided by our client, Audrey and share them with the Computer Science guys so that they can be applied to the actual website for Sven's. Currently, they are finishing up the actual content blocks, which is harder coding, and will add all of the physical content in within the next few weeks. We decided to not do online ordering at all, simply because Audrey and Jeremy aren't really sure if they will have the capabilities of providing that service with how small their potential cafe space will be, and the CS guys faced difficulties with implementing it since nothing was ever set in stone on how it would be implemented. We also got rid of the catering for the same reason of Audrey and Jeremy not being big enough to carry through with it quite yet. We are on a great path, and the website is looking great!

Client Meeting:

     During our client meeting with Audrey she looked over the website that the CS guys have coded so far, and she seemed very pleased with it. She agreed on the fact that they are not big enough yet for the catering and online ordering options yet, given that they are just starting out and have a very small space. We are however leaving the catering option there, but the CS guys are turning it "off" for now so that it is not visible to the user, but can be activated when Audrey and Jeremy decide to begin their catering service.



 Mobile Homepage (new background image from before):


- Alyssa and I felt that this image is much better for the mobile home page in terms of readability. It also has a warm, welcoming feeling with out being too heavy in the dark color of the coffee beans. After all, first impressions are very important, and we want users to Sven's Cafe's website to want to explore and see what they have to offer.

Case Study:

I also began my case study this week, and finished the list of content that I would like to use. My idea is to tell a story of the process, and present the deliverables and other information in chronological order, as it was a roller coaster ride with Audrey and Jeremy with finding space to officially begin their business. It is obviously still a work in progress in terms of design, but I am trying to tie in the theme of our creative brief.
