At Forum One we are always attempting new ways of delivering better looking web sites more quickly and within the budget. One of the techniques that we grown fond of and have incorporated into our process for most projects is creating what we call a hybrid page. A hybrid page contains text and visual elements such as H1 tags and buttons that can be used on many pages through out a web site. These elements are provided from the visual design in a comp that is consistent with the web site existing grid layout. View the hybrid page we developed for Forum One's web site redesign.
While the visual elements such as buttons, photo sizes, and field style are certainly important, we've found that one of the most helpful elements is simply listing out all of the different text elements that you will need from H1-headers to bulleted lists. Below you will find the styles that we used on Forum One's web site.
