I apologise for my late response to the concerns about this project. Last few days back home were extremely busy. Clarifying my objective through this web-project, my aim is to thoroughly practise and strengthen my skills in Flash web design and introduce myself and my work, in the minds of the Cypriot market industry. During my research over there, I tried to get hold of companies whose activities would be interesting enough to be part of this years’ Final Show (advertising, print, fashion etc.).
All these companies have very poor looking html websites, done amateurishly by either themselves or freelance designers. They wanted to update their image on the web, since they seem to be having a growing progression in the market and the public’s awareness, and they trusted me with the task of providing them with this successful new web-look. All the contacts were made through people I know.
GTS’s concern that 9 weeks may not be enough to undertake all the websites (3), have raised a similar concern on my part as well. Although I am confident that I can complete the project, I feel that possibly I can accomplish a better standard outcome, if I only engage in 2 websites, instead of 3. I would really appreciate GTS’s view on that. Having said that, the 2 websites that I feel would be best to work at, are the one representing Contact Advertising and Extreme4x4Adventure, since I like the fact that one is a non-profit organisation and the other is a full-working experience advertising agency. I think they would look compatible together. I have complete freedom from the clients to work in any way I want, since they believe they are gaining a much better website for free…

It would now appear wiser to produce working re-designs for 2 sites rather than 3. One sub-theme within the project could be the diversity of the two sites in terms of their product/message, audience and the ultimate design outcomes. We would need to see some flat visuals, maybe with some basic animation...you must present these before you go into the work more fully. It would also be best to limit your output to working prototypes rather than complete sites...this should not make the project appear any easier however as you will be judged on originality, flair and technical ability and against tne best of contemporaray commercial websites currently online.

If I were in your position, the only thing I would worry about in terms of time would be the content. Every web design job I have ever undertaken has taken far longer than expected to go live due to the client not providing me with full content... chase them for it early or in eight weeks time you may have an empty site and/or lots of stock imagery and Lorem Ipsum!
