I cleaned up the bee at this point of the development—I cleaned up her lines and gave her a smilie face. I wanted the site to be really cute, geared toward families and children. This is supposed to be a flower garden that gives tours of the garden and hosts lectures. Some place to go to kill a couple of hours and hopefully see some happy bees or butterflies. “Cute” is a word I definately wanted to be in the users mind, as well as fun.
Next I added a button with a neat shine effect on it. It's a movie clip so that it will keep looping until the user clicks on it. I thought it was a neat effect to use and I decided it would definately go with the site motif. I ended up using it a lot on text.
From there, the user navigates into the site. This is the very first version of the home page. I use the be to introduce the buttons. At this point I only had one button. I was really just testing the bee and the initial button movement and placement.
