    Photos for a 'contact us' page.

    Hi guys! It's good to be back here! Hope you guys had a not so stressed out week.

    Well, as for me, my week went by pretty swiftly! Although, I did got a new project from my best friend, which involves taking the photograph for a contact us page.

    This is one of the few pages in any website, which appears to be highly 'boring' per say. But my friend doesn't want to keep it that way.

    His philosophy is that the viewer must always find something visually pleasing on the page, to keep him occupied for longer and make him visit again. Well, to a certain extent, I agree with him.

    And that is what brings me here - what do I put in the page? What angle do I view this thing from?

    I need suggestions, guys! I need suggestions!

    Thank you for your help, folks.

    Have a good day!

    At the end of the day its just a contact page? the main thing is that the contact information is clearly visible.

    A nice image of the hostel receptionist answering the phone?

    I suppose you can use that, but then again, isn't it too mundane?

    What sort of company? I think we really need more information.

    How many people? Do you want 'regular' shots but from different angles or something amusing or thought provoking etc. Quite a few options to consider.

    Perhaps a high-end studio shot of a pair of thumbs typing the email address on a smartphone will do the trick.

    Geoff, the OP's first post provides a link to the web site indicating that the company is a hostel. You can use that page to access other pages of the company's web site.

    I can't think of anything particularly imaginative but I would expect a map and a telephone number which does not appear to be there. A picture of the front of the building or the lobby perhaps, particularly with people in it. The contact page is mainly for information and should be very clear and not cluttered up with too much extraneous stuff.

    Other pages could have pictures of the interior, e.g. bedrooms, dining room, a picture of the breakfast that is offered, nearby tourist attractions.

    I would suggest to have a full page image of front view of building with below mentioned things clearly visible in it.
    1. mailbox - clicking on it should open default mail software (outlook or gmail, etc)
    2. telephone booth - clicking on it should give option to call directly through skype or any other installed software
    3. Car travelling towards the hostel - clicking on it should open google maps with hostel location pinned in it
    4. Any other contact details directly typed and displayed on a traditional note pad image in top right/left corner
