How Do We Want the Gallery to "Look"?
Miscellaneous ideas to start with...
What would the home page of the Gallery "look" like?
- check models such as search and advanced search
- basically an app store
- showing different categories of what's to offer
- maybe rotating the offerings
- not more than 10 or 15 items up front
- a few things highlighted up front
- a link to a resources page that's a link farm
- some resources stables links on the front page, with a rotator
- short rows of thumbnails
- icons at sides of thumbnails for info at one side, and BRIEF text at bottom
- make it clear that there is not a *paying* store (ideas on how to differentiate?)
What would the category search results page "look" like"
- short rows of thumbnails with clear focus up front
- icons at sides of thumbnails for info at one side, and BRIEF text at bottom
Subpages for individual entries
Work to Set Up the Gallery
- what are our options for hosting environment, with regard to supported languages, tools, and databases supported?
- do a quick C/B analysis of using different kinds of tools
- perhaps grab a pre-built store template, with easy UI design, and that works with the hosting environment we'll use
- better scope the work effort required; check with potential people who could do it.
- project management piece is important
Work to Set Up the Entries
- explore the work-flow efficiencies
- using a CMS that we could log into
Work to Maintain
