About the Design

It’s my first time to design a website for flowershop in my web designing career that’s why the project was a challenge for me and a blessing as well.

The design was based on their logo they’ve presented. It is logo where an angel delivering is flowers. So compliment the angel, I made a sky background for the site. I didn’t have problem thinking of a background that will match the theme, but it took me a while designing the header. Because I was thinking of something … when I entered the site it will tell the client it’s a flowershop rightway that’s why I crop a big yellow sunflower to compliment the yellow color of the logo for the theme and matches it’s branding.

The whole project involves the following:

Site Branding

Web Layout and Design
Flash Animation
Photo Gallery
Inquiry Form
Sitemap
Search Engine Optimization
Web Hosting and Maintenance
