The Brief:
- Design a website to advertise the services of an experienced maths tutor.
- Single page website to contain all the information and contact details.
- Attractive appearance and page layout to entice the target audience, and encourage them to call.
Details/Discussion:
Design.
I decided to use a scan of some blue squared paper as the background to the web page to add texture.
The header evolved after trial and error with various mathematically themed ideas. I wanted to give the instant impression of a learning environment, but without it being too "dry" and "stale".
I like to think the overall theme/feel is professional, mathematical and a little more fun than algebra really is.
Structure & Content
The structure of this site is relatively simple – one page with all the facts. I've added a PHP driven form as an easy point of contact.
As an extra touch I've created a scrolling &slideshow& of testimonials, achieved with JavaScript from the excellent JQuery library. This is not only an excellent selling tool, but adds a bit of movement to the page.
