Benedict - Johns Creek, GA

Design Introduction

Hello Mary and Dawn,

My name is Danae Chudy and I am the web designer at Diocesan that will be working with you on your new web project. I am reaching out to let you know that we are nearly ready to begin the design process.

In order to begin the design process, we need from you:
  • A logo
  • Any details about your branding, (example: font names and colors used)
Thank you for your cooperation as we work hard to deliver a beautiful new site for you! 

Have a great day and I will talk to you soon!

Thanks,
Danae Chudy

Hi Dawn,

Yes, pngs or vector files (.ai or .eps). Also, if you have the logo in a white png that would be helpful! But not necessary if you don't have it.

Thanks,

Danae, attached is a PDF of our logos, colors, and fonts. I’ve attached all four logos as png files. For our fonts, we use Calibri and Garamond, with Scriptina Pro as an accent occasionally. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the logos! Here is the website mockup. Do you have the logo in an ai or eps file? Then I will be able to make the text white on the initial look.

The only files we have a JPG and PNG unfortunately.
TO THE CLIENT Danae Chudy, Web Designer at Diocesan
Perfect! Thank you. What do you think of the fonts and colors used on the website?

I would just change the “Join A Group” box color to gold or brown. The wheat color is reading too light. I’ve attached what we have worked out for the words and navigation (hopefully it makes sense). I don’t know how much of it is doable.
TO THE CLIENT Danae Chudy, Web Designer at Diocesan
Hi Dawn,

Of course! Here is the color change.

You'll be making those navigation changes once you start the content process with our Content Specialist, Ryan. Right now we are focusing on the colors and font chosen.

The only other color change would be the top navigation drop down box. Right now it is navy blue, highlight with blue. Could it be navy blue, highlight with ochre or brown for more contrast? Other than that, we are thrilled!
TO THE CLIENT Danae Chudy, Web Designer at Diocesan
We would have to change the order since that is a preset condition of the hybrid. You can view the color change here:

Or if you are ok with an extra development charge, it is $70 an hour and I'm guessing it'll take a half-hour.

Let me know what you decide!

I’m okay with just changing the order (we don’t have a preference for the order of the color boxes)! This is perfect. What else do we need to work on today?
TO THE CLIENT Danae Chudy, Web Designer at Diocesan
If you are ready, I'd love to send the design approval. Then there will be a little bit of a wait because the content queue is pretty full.

The only other question I have… is it possible to switch out the scrollwork that is under “We Aren’t the Same Without You” for the St. Benedict cross? I’ve attached it.
TO THE CLIENT Danae Chudy, Web Designer at Diocesan
Yes, we can do that. It will require more development time and a little bit more design time. I'd like to clean it up a bit.

Thanks,

It is a little rugged.
TO THE CLIENT Danae Chudy, Web Designer at Diocesan
Yes, I don't think it'll be very long. Our developer said under a half hour and the same for design-wise. 

We'll have it done by 3 or 4 today.

It’s perfect! This little cross was the church’s logo before the medallion was created. It actually has some history behind it. It’s a shame the only copies of it I have are pretty rugged and low image quality. I think this gets everything. Do I just sign the design approval now?
