Website Design

HELIO offers 2 basic layouts as a starting place. One has a narrow top for a traditional layout and the second has a tall top area to display an image or flash application. Both feature a horizontal navigation menu with sub menus and sub-sub menus.

These basic layout are quickly and easily skinned. Three graphics make up the background so any height or page width can be achieved.

Dozens of content (sub-pages) are already implemented into the site to allow for a quick starting point for sub page design and creative options.

By having these pre-defined layouts ready to go you will better visualize what your looking for in a design and you will find that you'll get your customizations right the first time.

A customer recently had wallpaper installed and this inspired a great design. We took swatches of the paper and scanned them in to the computer an came up with a beachy weathered look that we tiled for a background. Tied to similar pictures in an image rotator gave us a nice well rounded theme. Total theme design time was about 4 hours.

We have an organization on a budget and they need a strong design. We needed an urban look that could be washed out for a church site. The emotional aspect needs to be the organization and it's members. The goal here was to describe the church without using words. An urban background represents a city setting and the road on the bottom represents the religious journey. The image to the right was a stock photo purchased for about $10

This is a fantastic example of a website that displays the true beauty of a location. This client had photo's commissioned that were used to represent all that the community had to offer. This client is a good example of images correctly getting an emotion across of the people, community, and clean beauty of an area.
