Outline for Delta Creek Press

Logo:

Client: Delta Creek Press

www.deltacreekpress.com

Consistency:

Logo: Two books stacked on top of each other (with one laying down and the other open on top). This will form a pyramid-like shape. In addition, underneath the text the words “Delta Creek Press” will be shown in a wavy line.

Header: The book themed logo will be on every page on the top left side, nestled in the header. The header will also contain an alt txt version just in case the logo does not load. The header will also include the navigation, which will be hierarchical in nature.

Footer: The footer will contain a small version of the logo, the company contact information (address, phone, email, and any other relevant link) and some of the most common quick links (example: the author spotlight).

Navigation: Hierarchical branching

The navigation in the home page will link to Home, About, Books, Authors, and Contact Us respectively.

Home Page:

The home page will include the header, footer and main content page. The user will be able to utilize the header and footer in order to navigate the area.

Graphics: the homepage will feature a few popular book titles as well as a large image of running water to tie together the motif of the name of the press.

Navigation: All of the images of the most popular book titles will be placed on the home page and will be clickable.

Interactivity: The main interactive feature for this page will be the newsletter signup sheet, which will be accessible right on the home page so that it will easier for users to get to.

Text or Audio: The page will have a collection of the most popular books titles and minor information about each one. There will be no audio on the page.

About:

The About Me page will include information about the company, i.e. the CEO as well as all staff members of the site.

Graphics: Image of the CEO of the company in a larger image and then smaller images of the rest of the staff members.

Navigation: Each bio can be clicked on so that a larger bio will expand.

Interactivity: Aside from the staff bios being able to be clicked on and expanded their pictures will also change if the user hovers over the picture. For instance, if the user hovers over one image of a staff member it will change to the staff member in a silly pose.

Text or Audio: The text on the page will include the staff members that are included in the company, such as their primary bio, their favorite book, book selections for the month, and so forth. There will be no audio.

Books:

The main purpose of this page is to highlight the current selection of books in the collection as well as highlight any specifics in terms of genres, new releases, etc.

Graphics: The page will feature images of the book in smaller, thumbnail sizes.

Navigation: The user will be able to click on the image of the book, as well as expand some of the basic text underneath the book pictures in order to read more about the novel in question. Each book will also have buy links which will lead to other places to shop for the book such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Interactivity: Users will be able to click on the book to find out a full synopsis.

Text or Audio: The text on the page will include specific book information about each title such as the main synopsis and all of the buy links. There will be no audio on this page.

Authors:

The primary focus of the author page is to highlight the many different authors of the books, but this is also a way to help find the books themselves.

Graphics: Thumbnail pictures of the authors will be shown on the page.

Navigation: Like with the books, when one clicks on the author page they will be able to see an expanded version of the bio. In addition, underneath each author image there will also be outside links to their individual websites and social media pages.

Interactivity: Aside from allowing users to expand on author bios, they will also be prompted to sign up for the newsletter if they like a particular author.

Text or Audio: All of the text will include the author biographies (how they got their start in writing, etc) as well as the social media and buy links. There will be no audio.

Contact Us:

It is imperative that users be able to have an open line of communication for inquiring about new releases, potential book signing dates, and so forth. This will be a way to do just that.

Graphics: There will be a quarter page image of the interior of a book in order to take away from the heavy text that will be on this page.

Navigation: Aside from the header there will be no additional navigational offerings on this page.

Interactivity: Users will be able to fill out a form in order to contact the company owners and operators.

Text or Audio: The contact us text will only have information on how to contact through the form (for example, requesting the user’s name, email address, telephone, and so forth). There will be audio on the site.
