Stage 2 of Web revamp and critique:
1. Site Diagram
(click on image to enlarge)
The above is the site diagram for the website revamp. It has 5 main tabs: -
About: Which tells people about the company, about the owner and the testimonials and good feedbacks that customers had provided for their service.
Rent/Lease: Rent or Lease a car/van by different specifications
News: This section will include all the latest news of the company and the latest perks and promotions.
Quote/Order: Customers can get a quote request for car rental or begin a lease for car proposal.
Contact Us: This section includes the contact details of the company, as well as a section for suggestions and feedbacks.
2. Wireframe

The above shows a rough example of how I want the site to revamped and look.
It has a neater layout than the actual site and it also serve a better function and easier way to navigate.
I took of some tab/links that are irrelevant towards the website and placed more useful links at the top part.
3. Visual Elements
The visual out look is important in playing a part in making a website look nice.
For the website that I am about to revamp, I would like to use hues of different black this is because the actual website itself its too colourful and distracting. Black is a suitable coporate colour for a car company website as it depicts professionalism.
The website should also include interesting and relevant pictures that captures the consumers emotional needs and giving them a mindset that this is a reliable and trust worthy company.
The website has its twitter feed, instead of putting a picture of a pigeon they should put the actual twitter logo on the website to show professionalism.
Pictures depicting trust between the company and the company is important.
They should include more pictures of the interior of the car and not only the exterior of the car as this will make people get attracted of how spacious the car is.
Professional looking pictures of cars should displayed instead of self shot picture of the car that is of lousy and low quality.
Pictures of satisfied customer should be placed at the customer feedback or testimonial page as customers will see and have a sense of feeling that they will be this satisfied with the service and product of the company.
The correct colour, font and type of "pricetag" display is important in ensuring that the website does not look too messy and "cheap".
