Hi

One of my clients has a sign making company and I have already created a website for that, but now they wanted a site specifically targeting schools, which make a large part of their business. The brief was moving too far into a kind of childish, clownish site, their understanding was that schools, in particular primary schools, like cartoon characters and very bright colours (you can start to imagin my look when they wanted a site like that). I eventually managed to persuade them that when looking for a supplier they are looking for a company which looks professional, they might prefer bright colourful signs for their schools but that did not apply when it came to sourcing their suppliers.

In the end the site is a mix of bright colours whilst in keeping with a professional feel. I don't think any schools use blackboards and chalk any more but I wanted the header to be a reminder of those days so a dark grey background was chosen and a chalk effect font worked perfectly for headings.
