<p>21.&nbsp;Technical Proposal<br />ENVISIONING THE WEBSITE:<br />&nbsp;<br />The first phase of the project is to create a narrative vision statement for the web site. At NC we lay great emphasis on this phase of web site development. It is most important to redesign a web site in accordance with a well thought out plan. Adopting a bottom up approach to a redesign is easier, but cannot result in the development of a sophisticated web site. A bottom up approach results in a suboptimal system with stand alone modules, non-standard design elements, and disjointed pieces of code. It is most important to have the web site envisioned and designed on paper as many design and architecture issues are addressed at this stage.</p>
<p>The narrative vision will think through the graphic design, navigation and flow of the web site. It will also analyze the architecture of the information systems underlying the web site to recommend an optimal web site structure that is intelligent, user friendly and intuitive to use.</p>
<p>A narrative vision will address following issues:<br />a)&nbsp;Site Map and architecture<br />b)&nbsp;Navigation and flow<br />c)&nbsp;Graphic Design options suggesting the look and feel of the site<br />d)&nbsp;Analysis thinking through the design issues and reasoning to support design and architectural choices.</p>
<p>GRAPHIC DESIGN:</p>
<p>Graphic design will include the following:<br />a)&nbsp;Creating and modifying visual options. These will be presented to the team at HEALTH CONSULTANCY. Based upon mutual discussions these will be modified to arrive at the final visual appearance of the web site.<br />b)&nbsp;Graphic design will address layout, colors (based upon brand book), flow and navigation, graphics.</p>
<p>Approach:</p>
<p>The core of the project will be to design an excellent home page. After initial meetings with the client where the clients requirements and preferences are determined, NC will prepare two design options of the home page and the inside page template. These will be presented to the client. Any changes will be made and represented. Once the client is happy with the design it will be adopted. NC prides itself on top end graphic design in all the web based projects that we do.</p>
<p>The home page design will have a flash element. Since flash grabs attention on the home page, substantial time will be spent on creating a good flash element. This will reflect the vision of the consultancy while lending visual appeal to the home page.</p>
<p>The graphic design process will already result in the creation of a design template of the inner page. The content for the inner page will be provided by the client in a proof read state. This will be merged with the template to create the inside pages. Interactive galleries and the ability to add and delete members have been costed separately.</p>
<p>A contact us page and a useful links page will be provided. The ability to add and delete has been costed separately.</p>
<p>A domain will be registered.</p>
