Having a clear idea of your page's "message" shapes design concepts
This redesign shows a way to appeal to a broad audience once you understand that audience's needs. The redesign depended on a coherent definition of what the Web page needed to convey, as described by the company and by page visitors. Defining the needs of the company and its visitors made the design simpler, clearer, and more effective.
This page design was done on spec for a prospective client. It shows how information architecture can be combined with graphical design to produce a clean and professional look.
