Project in distress (III)

It’s Monday, so I’m back with fresh energy. Soon sapped by the realisation that if we ballpark 2 months for development (excluding testing/bugfixing), we need to start at the beginning of June. Which means the designs have to be finalised and signed-off within 3 weeks, and we haven’t even agreed all the content for the site yet.

Here’s a twist I haven’t come across before – the site is companion to a quarterly members’ magazine, so the design has to cover both versions. As a result, the print designers of the magazine get to take the lead on the look’n'feel and design, and once they’re happy hand it off to the digital designer. All within 3 weeks obviously.

None of the designers have worked with me before, so this’ll be double fun.

Oh, and there’s a “secret” area of the site for magazine subscribers. So secret, apparently, that we aren’t yet privy to what will go in it.
