    Round 2 designs uploaded to Northgate Accountants's portal. Swapped the hero to their own photography and darkened the green a touch for contrast.

    Round 2 designs for Northgate Accountants
    Hi Rupert, Round 2 is in your portal. We've moved the services up, warmed the greys and used your own photography in the hero. Let me know your thoughts by Friday and we'll keep launch on track. Best, Nick

    Design review – Northgate Accountants Round 1 design review. Rupert loved the homepage and the case study layout. They'd like the services page reworked so it leads with outcomes rather than prices, and the green slightly deeper. The team page will wait for new photos.
    Action items
    • Rework the services page layout
    • Deepen the brand green and recheck contrast
    • Chase Rupert for the new team photos

    Design review with Rupert: loved the homepage concept, wants the services page reworked so prices aren't the first thing you see. Round 1 of 2 used.

    What we need from you for the new site
    Hi Rupert, To keep Northgate Accountants's new site on track, here's a short checklist of what we need from you. You can upload everything in one place, a bit at a time if easier. Best, Nick

    Rupert rang about the copy: happy overall, but wants "family-run" kept in the first line of the homepage and the prices taken off the services page.

    Kick-off with Rupert on Google Meet. Agreed an 8-page sitemap, the launch target and that Rupert signs off everything. Content checklist sent straight after.

    Rang Rupert: still keen, just juggling a busy month. Said they'll come back to us by the end of next week.

    First Impressions Call with Rupert. Loved concept 2, wants the services higher up the page and a little less grey overall. Leaning towards Signature but asked about phasing the photography.

    First Impressions Call booked with Rupert for Wednesday 11 November. Three homepage concepts to prepare: warm and editorial, bold and typographic, and a calmer photo-led one.

    Proposal read through to the pricing page within an hour of sending. Recommended Signature; Rupert asked whether photography can be added later.

    Read through Rupert's discovery answers. Picked Clean, Editorial and Refined; both competitors they named are on Wix and look tired. Wants a quote calculator, which we'd price as an extra.

    Quick intro call with Rupert. Talked through how we work (discovery form, proposal, then concepts on the First Impressions Call) and the 50/50 payment split. Happy to go ahead with the form.

    Rupert came in through the website form. Northgate Accountants's current site dates from about 2017, isn't mobile-friendly and they think they're losing jobs to two newer firms in Islington. Would like something live before spring.
