Design intake
Step 1 of 5 Welcome

Hi Simon, hi Julie

Thanks for letting me be your web designer.

I'm Russell from Kookaburra Websites, and I'm genuinely chuffed to be building the new Golden Frame site with you.

This is a quick ten minutes on design direction — the feel, the colours, anything you'd love on the new site. It just means my first draft lands close to what you're picturing, so we spend our revisions polishing rather than starting over. Nothing here is locked in, and nothing's a wrong answer.

What happens next: you fill this in, I get to work, and within a couple of days I'll be back with the first look.

First up — who's filling this in? Just so I know who I'm chatting to. Tap one.

Just tap one so I know who I'm talking to.

How should the new site feel?

A few pointers on the mood so the design aims true on the first go.

Pick the words that feel like Golden Frame Choose as many as ring true — or none, if you'd rather just tell me below.
Even a sentence helps. Think of how you'd want a couple to feel the moment the site loads.
The bits worth keeping — a layout, the video heroes, the tone of the writing.
You mentioned you're not 100% sold on it — no need to be diplomatic. What nags at you when you look at it?
Two or three websites you admire Any sites — not just photographers. A word on what you like about each is gold.

Even one line about the feel — a word above or a note here — really helps me aim right.

Let's talk colour

Your gold, cream and black already look the part. Here's where we decide whether to keep that, refine it, or explore something new.

Your current palette This is what the site runs on today.
#bf9b30Gold #f4f0edCream #000000Black
How do you feel about it?

A quick tap here steers the whole look.

Add any colours you're drawn to optional Pick a shade and add it — up to four. These are just cues; I'll build a considered palette around them.

No custom colours yet — add one above if you like, or skip it.

Or start from one of these optional A few directions drawn from your brand world. Tap one you're drawn to — nothing final.

Words & content

I'll carry across everything from your current site as the starting point — the copy, the couples, the films, the reviews. So this is just about anything new.

New pages, a section you've always wanted, extra couples or films, updated wording — tell me here. If nothing comes to mind, that's completely fine.

Photos, videos & files go in our shared Google Drive folder

Anything else on your mind?

Last one. This is your space — anything at all about the look, the feel, the site, or working together.

A wish, a worry, a must-have, a "please don't do this" — whatever's in your head. Optional, but I read every word.

Beauty — I've got everything I need.

Thanks so much, both of you. I'll be in touch within a couple of days with the first look at your new site.

Talk soon,
Russell
