Website for Blue Rinse

The design of the website is almost complete and below I have documented a kind of step by step of how the website is to be navigated.

The homepage is all six of the section symbols enlarged and centred on the screen, I really wanted to use them at a larger scale and take advantage of their colourfulness and energy. It also make the initial layout of the homepage completely different to previous designs and to any clothing site that I've researched into so there is an element of originality in the composition.

To uncover which symbol means what, the mouse needs to be hovered above the symbol and becomes a rollover image. When clicked a drop down menu appears below the symbol and displays several options (clothing types such as tops and jackets) and as the mouse moves across the options the are highlighted by a purple box. The filter option works in a similar way by clicking on the heading a menu appears with filter options. Navigation works by clicking the left and right arrows and allows you to browse the range of products and by clicking 'add to basket' adds that product to your online shopping bag which is indicated by a number appearing on the bag in the top right corner.

The only issue I have realised at this time is that the 'add to basket' gets lost in the background, so I'm going to design a button to replace it with.
