Schedule A - Statement of Work
Statement of Work
Goal
To be the best online distributor of cheesecakes.
Vision
The general vision of the site is an `order' friendly site with an
emphasis on ease of use for order placement. The end goal, placing an
order, should not be hindered by any extraneous information or graphics.
As well, the site should be consistently "fresh and current"; therefore
admin capabilities for updates on a regular basis should be made
available.
Look and Feel
Presently, the BCC color scheme is black, charcoal and white. The company
would like to stay within that color scheme as they feel that the graphic
work and colors reflect more of an "attitude" rather than a "look".
