First Client Meeting

Myself, Jacqui and Vikesh are really eager to start with the designing of our site so we wasted no time in arranging a meeting with our client 'Paul Matosic' We were all quite nervous because we didn't know what to expect but I think we were pleasantly surprised.

Paul Matosic is an artist himself featured in the Gold Factory website, he was very laid back and was open for suggestions; he listened to our opinions and ideas and I think that Paul would be ok for us to work on all aspects of the site including looking at the branding. I took down some notes whilst we spoke to Paul to get a stronger idea on what we can work with:

- Two main projects on the front page.
- Keep the artists profile pages.
- Possible rebranding?
- Have a search for external links (will need advice on this)
- Clean up the archives/news
- Maybe include an updates page on artists exhibitions etc.
- Add an archive for Goldfactory's events.
- Have a forum/comment system.
- Keep the main focus on the 'ART'(the public doesn't know that they want art until they see it)

These were the main points that Paul quoted and feel that he has been very lenient on us. We have all gone away for the weekend to come up with some design concepts as we all have different ideas. From doing this we will be able to gather a range of ideas that can hopefully create a design that we are all happy about.
