&ve looked over the &e=perimental& websites you listed and although they are impressive don&t believe using Blash is a good route to take for the core design of your website. The main reason is that 0pple hand held devices, the i"ad and i"hone and most smart phones don&t support Blash. t&s also been pretty much rendered redundant by HT'8G, -SS and %avascript. &m sure you&re aware these are now adopted as the latest web standards. Bor that reason it would be my intention to develop your website using HT'8G for the front end, essentially hard coding the graphic elements. The e-ommerce side would be developed in "H" utilising a 'ySK8 database for product info and photo&s. n terms of concept &m thinking that a particularly stark and minimalist design, probably using black, white and maybe one shade of gray would form the &interior& and &shop& of the website, allowing the products to take centre stage. The entire front end of the site would scroll hori*ontally and fit within a standard screen depth. The e-ommerce element will follow a more conventional layout 2vertical scroll5 but retain the stark design elements. Mnfortunately &m still in some pain if spend too long sitting at the '0-, another day or two should see me back to normal and will write up the draft proposal once am able to focus on it fully, with some detail as to the front end design concepts. 'y apologies for this delay but your proEect is an e=tremely interesting one from a design point and really needs my full attention. &d rather delay and give it <CCD than try to concentrate when can only work in short bursts. %ohn "eace www.property22.co.uk C<N< 2HC 2C26 begin;of;the;skype;highlighting 2C26 end;of;the;skype;highlighting C<N< 2HC

7n Mon "!8#98!# !)%#) , Paul Mehdi Rizvi pmrizvi@gmail.com sent% Hi %ohn , trust this will find you well. t was great speaking to you the other day and many thanks for taking the time to meet. Here are a few links by a guy called ?ugo 1akamura. 0dmittedly very e=perimental Blash work, but it&s the innovation that impresses in the way the sites function. 1o doubt, as you have suggested we might consider a higher level of forward design in the &branding& and then let it cool down to simple shopping and ensuring that business aims are taken care of. www.yugop.com www.ecotonoha.com www.intentionallies.co.Ep www.uni>lo.com have also emailed "eter and will work along the lines we discussed for the moment.

Hope you get well fast! &ll discuss the branding aspect with "eter this afternoon ) we decided to go for a telephonic meeting while he&s driving up to :irmingham later this afternoon. There was a schematic had made and which was going to bring to the meeting, and it&s pretty much in line with what you may be able to do, that is, take the hori*ontal format to a certain point and then work with depth,vertical formats. Leep in mind that my target audience is into mobile tech so laptops,netbooks with the screen height cut down will probably be a factor need to consider. HT'8G is certainly going to make a big difference, but guess we&re still stuck with having to come up with the simplest page alternative design for the browsers to link with if not capable of dealing with HT'8G etcO The usual &if not 3$ then&..O Stark :lack,#hite sounds good and that&s very close to the ma= HCD grey &ve used in the 8ogo design and the one other colour is red. nitially it had been a hue of yellow but when i e=perimented with sending all to print in :,# the tonalities were too close. 'aybe we can play with that as the &status change& colour. 0nd yes, minimalism is probably the way to go. 4ed, ul 5, "#!# at !!%(: /M
