Website redesign – detailed specification
Please use the ‘comments’ function to leave your views on this proposal.
The redesign of the Crouch End Neighbourhood Forum website continues, based on the design brief published earlier. In response to this brief the company contracted to do the work asked three specific questions. The answers given to these are set out below. Further comments are welcome.
The process to be followed now is that we expect soon to be provided with a first draft of the proposed design for testing and review. It is to be hoped that one revision of this design will be sufficient to reach the final product, which will be an attractive, interactive website. As the Forum produces material for the site the structure will be sufficiently flexible to accommodate changes . The designer is aware of the inaugural general meeting on 7th February, though getting the release of the final design to coincide with this is not guaranteed.
The three questions the designer asked were:
