Description: In the midst of the economic turbulence recently Hazel decided the time was right to set up as a business offering her services to small companies in need of a professional book-keeper. As Hazel is my mother she approached me for advice concerning offline advertising, it was at this time I recommended purchasing a domain name so as to have a personal email address by which to communicate.
Having a domain name with no website would be wasteful so a website needed creating that would support any offline advertising. With our relationship being one of more than just client/designer meant there was a certain degree of freedom in the project as well as greater level of understanding of the client requirements.
The design for the site reflects the colours and ideas used in the offline advertising as well as trying to bring a more stylised final product than most finance related websites which have a very white corporate look with lots of content. With the limited content it was important to provide visual interest as to make the site not appear lacking in content, yet given the subject matter a professional appearance was needed. I feel the final site is simple and usable but emits a sense of professionalism that comes from the attention to detail in the design.
