The Process
Once the team was assigned, I collected the necessary information from the Project Manager and the Sales Representative who have spoken to the client directly.
Once I had the clients information about their site (inspiration sites, color choices, imagery, font style), then I selected a homepage template to utilize for this site. Communicating with the Content Marketer about the content on the homepage, I began implementing the copy into the template. Once the homepage template was complete, I sent the finished homepage design, and all of the information to the third party vendors, to build out the internal pages according to the homepage design. Our sites are designed using a customized WordPress platform and the DIVI design WordPress plugin from Elegant Themes.
After the vendors completed the internal pages, we completed the team review, and sent the site through Quality Assurance (QA), we scheduled the call with the client to review the site. On this call the client reviewed their site for the first time, and gave feedback.
We then completed the edits to the site, and sent the site through QA again. Upon completing the edits necessary for full funtionality from QA, we sent the site to the tech services team to send the site live.
The Design
For this client they specified that they liked Navy Blue and wanted a color scheme that was regal and classic. I paired the Navy Blue with the Gold to give it a more regal feel. Initially the client indicated they wanted imagery that matched their practice areas. I implemented that kind of stock imagery into the site.
The template I chose has the practice areas in a row below the banner image. I took this and implemented a slight overlap with the white border to give it a layered feel for depth.

Client Feedback
Once the site was completed we scheduled the call with the client. Upon seeing the site, the client really liked the color scheme. They did not care for the imagery and instead said they would send us their own imagery.
They also requested that we implement their videos and client testimonials to the site. I decided to add them in a side by side module since their testimonials were in video format.
