Art Direction
The artwork used is vital to your success. It defines the identity and image of your business. Good artwork will set you apart from amateurs and novices. The artwork should complement the objectives and goals not become the focal point. Ask yourself the following:
- Do you have any color preferences, existing brand colors, and/or colors you do/not wish to include?
- Do you have all of the images that you would like to be included in your website or would you like the designer to use imagery where appropriate?
- Is your logo and other imagery web ready?
- Is the artwork in harmony with the objectives and goals of the site?
