Alternative Website Architecture

http://inserviowebsolutions.co.uk/

In my search for an alternative website architecture I came across this site.  The menu bars are up in the clouds.  While, this architecture is unique, its also remains organized and easily identifiable.

Green Idea for Website

                I chose the color green because of its association with nature.  This is the area where I will put my focus, but after doing research, I’ve decided I will include some periphery information as well regarding how green’s association with nature has affected other entities, such as religion, culture, and nationality.  I will attempt to bring out the characteristics of nature through my design.  I will likely use more darker greens, such as forest green, along with some lighter greens, browns, and yellows and possibly blues, as these reflect colors often found in nature.  My choice of fonts will likely be organic and flowing, most likely a script, as opposed to stiff and boxy, such as arial.  I will attempt to organize my pages around something found in nature – possibly a tree.  The images I incorporate will largely be of trees and plants; I may include some animals and possibly a picture or two of those peripheral ideas – religion, culture, and nationality.  Nature is definitely the theme here and I will do my best to bring that out in my design.
