Website Purpose:

The intent and purpose for this website is for people in need of a general contractor to be able to find my uncle. With clearly defined services and pictures of his work, it was my intention for potential customers to see the quality of work and not be bothered with an overly busy website. As I was designing the site I was sure to eliminate content that didn’t fit with my objective. Wanted to be sure to not overwhelm the user.

Design Choices:

When designing the site I wanted to keep it clean and have it flow smoothly. I chose a tan and brick red color scheme as these colors correlate with the contracting business. The text font I chose, Arial and Verdana, was because I wanted it to be clear and legible, nothing that the user would have to second guess what the text read. I also included links to each additional page at the top of the page, below the logo. The intention was to keep the website simple and not to have the user search for navigation links.

Opportunities for Improvement and Growth:

Some design changes I would have liked to have done if I had time would have been to have a slide show of images on the front page. Then to be able to click on each image to give more information about that project. In the future I would like to add a cost estimator for user to use to help price out there contractor needs. I would also like to add a design help page. Showing users appropriate color schemes and options for their specific project. For example, if a customer was looking to remodel a kitchen they could chose a type of cabinet style, counter tops, back splash and colors for each.
