    • Prototype changes

    Creating wireframe has given the idea about basic elements and features of the future website.
    Layout of website was created following the basic concepts of the website ( see wireframe).
    Prototype has been made at Adobe Photoshop as .psd file to be converted by slicing and coding methods to the .html file.
    Such changes were applied:
    - colour scheme was changed
    - background pictures for the middle section and for the body of the website was added
    - relevant to the subject of the website picture was placed to the top navigation bar
    - due to the small capacity of the care home some navigation links were removed from the site:
    there was no enough functionality for that
    -

    Customer proposals

    There was ongoing discussion about placing name of the care home to the landing page.
    Prototype has visual line with the main information about health institution:
    - logo with the care home name on it
    - picture of the care home
    - address and phone placed next to the logo and picture.
    - place of the care home name (bigger font size, central location) is still under discussion.
