Hello autoinsurance,

I'm working on a concept right now but i have some questions..

Can I use different colors in some part of the layout? Like a Gold or a Yellow/orange with the Enter zip code rectangle?

Also You mentioned about Focusing on the Top White Panel, Does that means I shall leave the bottom Content as it is? or i can play a bit with the layout as its a re-design project?

Kindly advise,
Thanks

The logo should remain as is. Thank you. AutoInsurance.com team.

Thank you Amr for the concept. Videos and form should be on the same sheet. Please experiment without the yellow and maybe try to incorporate the look of the logo and background into the form and video style. Please do feel free to play with the bottom sheet as well.

Thanks

Looks better, can you try blending in the logo with the rest of the elements without the black break. Also, can you try keeping the form structured as is, rather than as 1,2,3. I think that may lower conversion rate. Also, we dont have 3 videos, so if you can please adjust the design for 2 videos.

Hello autoinsurance, I made most of the revisions, but i'm stuck on blending the logo with the elements, Can you kindly give me some idea's on how to do that? Thanks

Amr,

Your design looks very similar to our current design. Are you able to come up with a way to integrate the videos and the form into the same design? Also, please see my previous comment about the form.

thanks

Hello autoinsurance,

I restore back the form items as it was, But I played with the Logo color a bit on that form, Also, I've used the same background used on the form for the videos and gave it some glassy effects to attract the audience eyes, let me know your feedback.


Revision 4

Note: I can't remove the Yellow Background on the video play bar since its a video control.

Getting closer to the desired look. Please see this attached form shape and try to recreate to fit the look of the site. Replace their background with the videos and put form on left rather than on right.

Also, the background used in the example is a little to strong in color and would be better if it was a bit softer.

[GoldenZ]

Got you!, So basically you want to integrate the form with the video to look like its a part of it as your attached sample!

Am I thinking in the right direction?

Revision 5

Thanks,

Thank you, looking better. Can you go with a blue form? (red has a lower conversion rate). Also, please try to use a similar look to the example I sent you with the arrow. Lastly, can you try to blend all the elements on the top white sheet so that they dont look so separate. (logo, videos, form, social media logos and versign/trusten logos) Maybe extend the background image to cover the whole white sheet.

Thanks

Hello,
I have made your revisions, Fixed the Form with a blue color, also a roundy arrow around the form, Also i have blended the logo, elements.. in one line so they don't look separated. Kindly give your feedback on this

Thank you for the latest revisions. We're getting much closer to the desired look.

I like how you blended everything. Here are requested touch-ups.

-darker green background to the videos
-quote box to fit inside sheet. change arrow to left side of the form (ok for arrow to expand out of the sheet.
- blue skyline fades to white clouds on top of sheet. (so we can have white background on logos)
- no break in tagline text
- darker background behind sentence at bottom of top sheet. (so it can stand out a bit more)

Thank you! You're doing a good job.

[GoldenZ]

Done!

rev 7

[autoinsurance]

Done!

rev 7

Thank you for the updates.

- it still looks like there's some blue behind the logos. Please remove all blue after the transition.

- the form should remain within the white sheet. Only part of the arrow may exit the white sheet. Scoot videos over if necessary.

Thanks. Looking good.
