Web Design Brief
We sell tours to Scandinavia through our website www.authentic-scandinavia.com. The website has become a bit old fashioned and we are in the process of making the website responsive. As you can see from the attached pictures the website will be wider with the responsive design, and our current design does not fit anymore.
Here is what we are looking for:
- A website that reflects a trustworthy and quality oriented company.
- Making the website more modern looking, but still recognisable (we want to keep the colours).
- keeping in mind that the age group of our customers are from 20-80 years old (most in their 60s).
- We want to remove the popular tours part and are instead looking to replace this with picture boxes the following subjects Scandinavia Specialist, Special Offers, Contact, Norway (or Norway Tours), Sweden (or Sweden Tours), Iceland (or Iceland Tours), Combination Tours. Possibly also Lapland, Winter, Northern Lights, Fjords and Capitals. Some of these categories can be smaller or perhaps half boxes; i.e. Winter and Northern lights in one. If we end up with four boxes per line perhaps we could add a social media box next to the three first ones.
- The above means that the left hand meny with Norway Tours, Sweden Tours etc will be redundant.
- we will add another line to the search Box (on the top): Destinations
- The top menu will have the same categories, but we need to add languages as the website will be in English and German.
- The footer must be changed
- We can take away the box to the right where it says "your window to booking the best of our world"
