5 Scope of Work

5.1 Professional Design & Navigation

The S3 web site design needs to be clear, professional and intuitive for web site visitors in order to establish S3 as the best company to do business with (and work for) among its peers in the industry. Wit's creative team of designers will work as a team with S3 staff to create a site map and two, color homepage concepts . The concepts will then be revised down to one, final design for the creation of the web site. The usability and navigation of the site will be of utmost importance in the organizational architecture of the site. Therefore, Wit's creative team will work with S3 staff to streamline the navigation, categorize and group information as appropriate. A thorough review of existing and newly planned content will also be taken into consideration. Notes: Company colors (Green, Gold, Cream, Burgundy) and (improved) logo are important. Old English / Old World value/flair with an IT / Cutting Edge. Other (competitor) web sites worth mentioning
