The current site is an ecommerce website selling Alexandrite gemstones and jewelry. The site is about a year old, and although the content and shopping cart are good, the graphics and layout are not.
Needed are two new Photoshop (PSD) files including layers to create a new pair of template files, one for the home page, and one for the content pages. They can be identical, with the exception of the left nav area removed for the homepage to make the usable area larger.
1. Designed for 800x600.
2. Body area for content pages should be white and give plenty of space (477pix wide). I would like the body area framed in color to the border of the browser window.
3. I would like a simple 3D logo to be included in the project, possibly in flash with a little lighting and shadow movement.
4. The color scheme should be pastel pinks and/or purples.
5. I need a top nav and left nav bar similar to what is currently in use now.
6. I want the site to appeal mainly to women and for the home page, would like a woman's form used in the body area. She should be wearing some real nice jewelry, a head shot wearing earrings and/or a necklace, a hand wearing a nice ring or bracelet, and/or a combination of any/all.
7. I'm going to use text for the left nav, but still would like simple button in the background to give it a bit more style.
Sites that I like, that you can use as an idea of what I'm looking for:
· [login to view URL] - I like the layout a lot.
· [login to view URL] - I like the colors of the rose, cups, and text at the top.
· [login to view URL] - this is what I had in mind for a homepage.
