We would advise the maximum width of your webpage should be not more than 1024 pixels. It used to be standard practice to design within 800 pixels wide which
allowed visitors having 15” monitors to easily see your webpage without scrolling left to right, but 15” monitors are declining and virtually none existent.
Designing to 1024 pixels gives you more room and still allows the majority of users to fully view your webpage.
WMS Design Restriction
The only restriction required to integrate with our WMS is that the navigation has to be designed vertically. These Navigation buttons should have solid background
colour’s, however the navigation width can be as desired. Please keep in mind that the system runs off a template system, which means the design you create will be
used throughout the website, the Website Management System purely controls the websites navigation, content and images within your design.
Visual Format
When you have a confirmed website visual please supply GroupSolutions with an uncompressed jpg format file, with the colour mode set as RGB. We will then analyze
the visual and contact you with any additional images or layers we would require.
Additional
In order for us to foresee any complications, please advise GroupSolutions of any additional animation or interactive requirements before we proceed to cut-up the visual.
Hosting Requirements
The general requirement specification for hosting the Website Management System:
Windows Server 2003/2000/XP
IIS
NET Framework 1.1
Processor speed is ‘the bigger the better’
Disk space all dependant on the File & Image libraries
Certain file permissions need to be set on the server to allow uploading of files and an SSL Certificate is recommended.
