Branding Guidelines
- Please follow color scheme and general font guidance from this site: http://cognitive.topcoder.com/
Landing Page Requirements
- Update the customer marketing page for this site http://cognitive-ui-chatbot.pagedemo.co/
- Use the information from that site as minimum content and please suggest any additional content that should belong to that marketing page.
- Our current page has way too much scrolling and the layout content is not very optimized
- We want to take the structure of marketing page to look a little more like this site: https://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/bluemix/watson/cognitive-chat-solution
- Smaller font and more efficient uses of the panels; see the site link examples above on how they break up panels vertically, we like their typical layout for marketing pages
- For the lead space, can we walk through options of super vibrant, dynamic imagery for the lead space?
- Update the current image of the developer with a brighter photo of a developer facing the camera, preferably superimposing the Chatbot Solution UI onto the screen, to really engage the audience.
- For the image, you can use any photos from this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/53993064@N03/albums/with/72157673740154843
- For the image, we are looking for photos that able to capture for a members + chatbot visual, so feel free to edit the images and add some visualization effect to be able to achieve our expectation.
Important:
- Keep things consistent. This means all graphic styles should work together.
- All of the graphics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance
