Hi Charles! Sorry for delayed response on our end- we wanted the weekend to review/look over this design concept thoroughly. Overall, we are much more pleased with appearance of the homepage with your changes from the first draft! The colors/blending throughout look much better and I really like how you faded the purples from darker/bolder at top of homepage to lighter at bottom/end of homepage! We do still have a few changes we’d like to see before moving forwards-
**Starting from top and working towards bottom**
-we prefer the top/stock image from 1st design draft as opposed to this one with girl with the hat.. is there a way to use the previous image (brunette with top bun) but incorporate colorful/blurred background (as you have in this 2nd design draft) instead of the plain silver background from 1st design draft?
-For the “WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL SMILES” , we’d like this to be in a more elegant/artistic font as opposed to the plain font it’s in currently (but we want to make sure it’s still easily read). Is there a way to change this to font similar to the “DENTAL ARTISTRY” cursive or do you think this will be too hard to read when quickly scrolling? (We’ll follow your lead on this)
-I love the purple rectangle on left side of top/stock image with the “WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL SMILES”. Do you think you can move this purple rectangle a little higher up on top/stock image and put another purple rectangle underneath with link to NEW PATIENT FORMS? If not here, where else can we add link to NEW PATIENT FORMS on homepage? Possibly on left/other side of office image in the EXCLUSIVE WEEKLY OFFER section?
-For the WELCOME TO DENTAL ARTISTRY section, we’d like to scroll/alternative between image of Thomas and Dr. Laurent together, Thomas headshot, and Ann headshot (so three images in total to scroll through.. I’ve attached the two headshots to use for Thomas and Dr. Laurent) so there is some “movement” on the homepage..I’d also like to see other graphics/movement incorporated into final homepage (similar to ashleypricedds.com website that I keep referring to)
-For the MAGNOLIAS in background of both WELCOME TO DENTAL ARTISTRY section and the PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY SECTION, both of images are beautiful but look like they are japanese magnolias as opposed to the louisiana state flower magnolias (large cream flowers)- I found several of the correct ones when I searched shutterstock for LOUISIANA MAGNOLIAS. If possible, I’d like to see these in place of backgrounds for both sections.
-For the logos underneath WELCOME TO DENTAL ARTISTRY section.. I included all the correct logos in the bios for both Thomas and Dr. Laurent. Please update these logos to showcase all the different associations both doctors are both apart of
-Love the team image section!
-PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY SECTION (please change magnolia background as referenced above to LOUISIANA MAGNOLIAS)**
-Love the FEATURED SERVICES section!
-For the EXCLUSIVE WEEKLY OFFER section, please change the image to TG8_2834.jpg (one of Thoams talking to brunette). Please refer to above highlighted comment on possibly adding in link to NEW PATIENT FORMS in this section if you think it will fit here? If not, possibly in top/stock image of homepage underneath the “WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE”..
-Love the TESTIMONIALS section!
-For the Publicity section with CHECK OUT DR. LAURENT’S FEATURED AS ONE OF ACADIANA’S STEEL MAGNOLIAS section with the yellow background.. Please change this yellow background with Dr. Laurent image to the attached image of LAFAYETTE sign (full color or lightly faded if you think that looks best) and change the white rectangle with text to just a plain white rectangle with the “IN THE NEWS” icon (we will update/add to this once we have more publicity/articles about Thomas as opposed to ones of the previous owner, Dr. Laurent)
-For the MAP Section, Please add in “Conveniently located near River Ranch off Kaliste Saloom Road” on top/left corner of map image over the plain grey region..
-For the bottom white section underneath MAP that has LOGO and the other 7 sections next to it..please make two changes:
1. Change 7 sections to the ones from our wireframe: HOME, ABOUT US, ANXIETY-FREE DENTISTRY, SERVICES, SMILE GALLERY, and CONTACT US
2. Please add in OFFICE HOURS in a separate/3rd separated section on RIGHT of the the 6 sections (provided above):
Mon-Thurs 8:00am-5:00pm
Friday 8:00am-12:00pm *or by appointment
Again, we’re excited and very pleased with changes in this 2nd design draft and we know the next draft will be even closer to what we’ve envisioned! We appreciate your patience and attention to detail as we strive to compete with our local competitors in the area who have top notch websites. We’ll be looking more into the content library this week and will be sending you what we’d like to see in the website!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or if clarification is needed to the above comments/edits

I wanted to ask you about placement for the LAFAYETTE sign image that I’ve provided.. do you think this will look best in the publicity section (as I’ve stated in previous email) or would this image (that we love!) look best at top of homepage as the 1st website image as opposed to a female stock photo..?
Let me know what you think at your convenience- we think it showcases our city nicely!

Last comment I promise 😉
Can we also incorporate the use of a few circles throughout homepage design as opposed to just rectangles separating each section? (I’ve included few of the circle icons from Ashleypricedds
Website)..
What if we incorporated a circle/circles in the top section “WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE to create beautiful smiles” or what if we used a circle of two to blend/connect two different “rectangle” sections throughout the homepage?
I’m wanting to homepage to have more of an artistic appearance that flows together (if that makes sense) as opposed to just all the different sections on one page
