(A) Site Diagram  (Click on image to enlarge)
The above is the diagram for the revamped website. There are 4 main tabs which includes:- About: It is to allow customers to have a brief information about the website. Testimonials are customer's good feedbacks about their services. Interest: It includes the articles of various different types of bottles. Hall of fame shows various types of bottles Services: The website does services like cleaning the bottles and appraisals for the bottles. Contact: This section includes the details of the company and also for feed backs and suggestions. (B) Wire frame 
(Click on image to enlarge) Above is the improved version of the website and it shows roughly how I would re-designed and how it looks after that. It has a much neater layout than the actual site and it is way much easier to navigate around without any difficulties. I have reduced a lot of information provided on the website which some are even repetition and irrelevant. I have also included a "chat box" named "Bottles Talk" for collectors to discuss about their bottles which is also useful for audience to read and learn more about bottles. I have taken out the "floating man" which overall, I feel that it is not a necessity. (C) Visual Elements The visual look of the website plays an important role for the audience, it is able to capture the audience attention as the website is much neater and easier to navigate, audiences are able to enjoy browsing the website. I would like to use hues of black for the website background as black allows the bottle's colour to stand out and also depicts professionalism.  
The website should include collectors relevant pictures, their collections and reliable testimonials, therefore it allows audience and customers to have confidence in the company. 
The website's picture of the bottles are everywhere, therefore I would like to arranged them in an orderly manner by the height, sizes and colours to show professionalism. 
In the "Bottles Gallery" the bottles should include the code of individual bottles as audience and customers who are interested in them could actually enquire about the items and purchase them. 
The website should also include the close-up of the bottles to show the details of the bottles like the date the bottle was produced and the place of origin.  
I would like to include Facebook and Twitter updates as I find it an interesting and interactive way to engage with the audience and customers and also update them about the latest news and instantly connect with them. |
