Interface Design / Look and feel
1. What type of layout style do you prefer for the site?
[ ] Traditional / Left Aligned [ ] Traditional / Right Aligned
Logo / Banner Banner / Logo
Main Menu Content Content Main Menu
Top Down Hierarchy [ ] Other – Please specify / list example URL(s)
Banner / Logo
Main Menu
Content
2. There are alternative ways to layout the site making use of tables & layers or frames.
The main difference being that with frames components such as the logo/banner and menu areas can stay
static in the interface (does not scroll out of view), and with tables it will scroll out of view as the browser scrolls
down on the page.
With table layout the whole page will reload with on each click, but with frames only the relevant frame, i.e. the
content frame will reload.
Table style layouts are more search engine “friendly” than frames. If you are very dependent on traffic
generated through search engines, tables are the way to go.
Taking the above into account, please specify your preference:

3. How many images will be used on the website in terms of the following:
The main differences between the different images are the following:
Focus Images: - Focus graphic images are used as a focal attraction or visual feature on various web pages. A
common application for focus graphics are to create a high impact visual differentiation between main sections of a
website, and if budget allows between all pages including ordinary content pages. In many instances focus graphics
can be integrated into the header graphic that forms part of the interface design. Unless SilverstoneCIS can provide
suitable royalty free images for use, it is the client’s responsibility to supply source imagery or request image
acquisition or photography if required at an additional cost.
Content Images: - Content graphic images are used to visually support specific content pieces on various web
pages. As the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words, and with good supporting content graphics, the
viewer has an attractive lead in to important content messages from the website owner. Because content graphics
are generally less prominent than focus images, the creative process can be relatively less extensive than seen for
the production of focus images. Unless SilverstoneCIS can provide suitable royalty free images for use, it is the
client’s responsibility to supply source imagery or request image acquisition or photography if required at an
additional cost.
Catalogue Images: - Catalogue graphic images are used to display a range of products or services on various web
pages. Because catalogue images are generally shot by professional photographers specifically for the needs of the
customer, not too much editing is required, apart from replicated styling in a similar manner across the entire product
range. Unless SilverstoneCIS can provide suitable royalty free images for use, it is the client’s responsibility to
supply source imagery or request image acquisition or photography if required at an additional cost.

4. Describe visual elements or content which should be utilized from your current site or marketing materials

site? Do you have an existing sitemap for the outgoing site structure? Do you already have a sitemap or

Technology
1. What is your target platform and browser (if you know e.g. Internet Explorer and / or Netscape etc.)?
2. What is your target browser resolution?
Please note that recent surveys showed the split between pages viewed at 800x600, and 1024x768 is
approximately 50/50. Targeting smaller resolution browsers are more inclusive, but designing for larger resolution
allows more flexibility in design and layout. We would always recommend 1024/768 as a minimum!
[ ] 800 by 600 [ ] 1024 by 768
