for the contest Networking Company - 6degreesCONNECT Needs New Website
Submitted design #4
As previous design. Is the stationary done? Would be good to get that similarity incorporated into the header circle and then work out the lines.
Thanks :)
I think I sent it to you already. Will do again. Also link is available in the brief for the contest too!
All is sent now.
Ooops missed the email. Thanks for sending them again.

This version follows closely the letter head design.
Let me know what you think about this integration.
The 'Joing our Network' & 'Referral Match' sections are swapped also.
thanks :)
Please look at the getaha site for the use of whitespace and look at their newsletters for ideas for design (their newsletters are found by going into news on the first page and then looking left. Look at them all they are fun... I love the idea of the lines and circles and want to have the links incorporate that like the equibrandconsulting site. You dont have to follow the stationary but just incorporate the use of the lines coming off and angles and small circles. Hope this helps. PS we used the getaha site for ideas on the law firm site (you should have the mock up pages). These are sister sites and want them to look good together.

I've had a look at the getaha site, and I'll do an update tomorrow evening for you based upon the current site mock up and the getaha site. :)
I also please take into consideration that I really want the lines and navigation like equibrandconsulting.com. So the circle with the lines coming off of it for navigation. I like the getaha newsletters for the artwork and the getaha main site is what I am using for my law firm not this company. It just needs to have the whitespace and I like the feel of it - lots of whitespace. Also take into account that we dont have a lot of information and pages for this site. If you look at the last sight up (found on google by typing in six degrees connect austin) you will see that we do not have that much content. That is why I think we need to break it up into sections - see equibrand consulting site. But I think you are right that the homepage needs to be able to convey what we are and what we do but not have all of our information on it. Yet I think we may have to have more information because its not that easy to convey what we do - service provider consulting/search firm...!
Submitted design #7
Here's an update with some changes you suggested.
Here is what I am thinking. Add back the letterhead line down the left and the address across like in no 5. Then take lines from the circle around the logo and then have the bubbles to the left of the navigation Headings and Make them a bit stronger. You might be able to move the navigation links to the right and keep and angle in the lines to them. I really like the direction you are going.
Also would like to see a version before you change the artwork around the navigation links just with the line on the left side down to the address like the letterhead. Maybe it will balance the fun circles the way you have them now for me. Thanks!
It is also really growing on me just as it is and just noticed that you have an angles shaded line going left already. If you dont mind playing with versions requested I would appreciate it but feel free to do a second page. Thanks!
BTW the rest of it is good to go...
Submitted design #12
Here is one that I think works well based off your comments.
What do you think about the structure compared to earlier versions? I am referring about the text boxes and their placement. In this version I have tried to maintain a set of lines much like the mosterwynne mockup.
Thanks! :)
Submitted design #13
This version in place of the previous - just a few small niggles I cleared up.
Thanks for the entry. I think I still like the line on the side more like no 5 and not a box all the way around. I like the way you did the set up of the text for this version. I also like the navigation on this version with the line ending after Contact Us. Like the larger testimonial box on prior entry. Also really like your fonts. Generally don’t like the logo in the main text at the bottom but more below the line if possible. Color bar at bottom OK but not needed I think would rather have logo. I like the placement of other items on the page (like the idea of the referral match next to No Cost language. And the primary placement of What We Do and Your business success. Want you eye to go down the page. See comments below on navigation.
So I would love to see a version taking into account my comments above.
I would also really like to see a version with left margin links along the line going down the page (similar to the the etechstudios entry) although as I said in my comments to them I want the lines to connect and a little larger circles. As you know I like the idea of double navigation so you could leave the navigation across the top and have the circles darken with each link on the top… I don’t know for sure I just think that the links going down like version 7 are easier to use.
Thanks.
Thank you for all the beautiful versions and options. I am going to take a little time to review them all.
I have looked at all your submissions and am going to describe what I think is the easiest ways to build two final versions. The two will share the same navigation, top and bottom set up, but will have the body information structured differently (using two previously designed versions).
Version 1 - Start with Version 5 – Remove the blue and white border, Remove the gray line between the bottom of the page and the address line going across the page, move the 6degrees logo at the bottom of the page down above the address line (about half way between where it is now and the address line. At the top of the page, leave the testimonial and only make slightly lighter (like versions 7,13). Make the navigation angle off like version 13 and go across the page in the same placement as version 13 but look like version 15 so there is line and then blue circle and the line and then blue circle with the words maybe a little closer to the link they go with only if you like that(now the lines are not below the link words but beside). The line would end the way it does in version 15 with a short line to the end of the page after Contact Us. Then make the background of the “We supplement Referral Methods” white and not green. The placement of everything else on the page would stay the same as Version 5 the one we are working with (the original layout you did).
Version 2 – Start with the Revised Version – The only thing that would change is that the body of the page between the links and logo/address strip at the bottom would lay out like Version 13 accept the following: 1) There is a small space between the inner body and the left margin line like Version 5 and the Version above. The is no gray line above the What we Do and Referral Match and the navigation link line, and the separation gray line going across the middle of the page might move down if it looks good more like Version 5.
Of course if you have suggestions on these Versions please make them.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the comments I will look into these revisions tonight. :)
Thanks so much. Look forward to your submission!
