MY SOLUTION I was given a lot of assets and information at the start of this project, which made it when the design process started. First though, I needed to set a clear structure for the flow of the site, which was easily communicated through regular web meetings with Balclis in Spain. I created a suggestion of a site-map which was agreed upon, which later resulted in a clickable wireframe prototype so that Baclis could easily understand the functionality of the site before I “dressed it” with final design elements.
