After completing the sale and finalizing details of a contract, the second designer and myself focused our efforts on identifying key visual and functional aspects that the client required in their new site. According to the clients, the primary function of the site for them is to serve as a "pre-meeting" introduction to new and potential clients. Providing them with an overview of the couple's services, experience, processes, and a way for them to be contacted. Amara and John expressed interest in keeping the burgundy color from Amara's independent website, but beyond that, we were given creative freedom to design how we saw fit.
With this information in mind, my colleague created a sample home page to serve as a style-scape that was approved by the client. Brittney then spent time creating a series of high-fidelity mock-ups and a style guide, seen below, that she passed on to me to begin the development in WordPress.
