12 -In a meeting-

At work In a meeting
Everyone is already in the meeting room. Sono già tutti in sala riunioni.

Good morning everyone. Buongiorno a tutti.

I'd like to introduce you all to Mr Maxwell from Omega Design. Vorrei presentare a tutti il signor Maxwell della Omega Design.

This is Mrs King from our planning department. Questa è la signora King del nostro ufficio progettazione.

Nice to meet you everybody. Piacere di conoscervi.

Now everyone's been introduced, we should get started. Ora che tutti sono stati presentati potremmo cominciare.

As you all know, we're here today to discuss the design of our new web site. Come sapete, siamo qui per parlare del design del nostro nuovo sito web.

He'll be showing us some of the design proposals. Ci mostrerà alcune delle proposte per il design.

I'm sure you are all eager to see some of the designs. Sono sicura che siete tutti ansiosi di vedere qualcuno dei progetti.

So without further ado, I'll hand you over to Mr Maxwell. Allora senza ulteriori indugi vi lascio con il signor Maxwell.

I've brought along some design proposals so I can get an idea the kind of style you are looking for. Ho portato con me alcune proposte di design in modo da farmi un'idea del tipo di stile che cercate.

Is there anywhere I can plug in my laptop? Posso collegare il mio portatile da qualche parte?

I can show you some of the potential styles we could develop for you. Vi mostro alcuni dei potenziali stili che potremmo sviluppare per voi.

There's a socket just underneath the table. C'è una presa proprio sotto al tavolo.

If anyone has a question then please feel free to interrupt. Se qualcuno ha una domanda mi interrompa pure.

I'll take any questions from the floor once the presentation is over. Risponderò a tutte le domande dei partecipanti al termine della presentazione.

The styles range from sober and serious to playful and silly. Gli stili vanno dal sobrio e serio all'allegro e frivolo.

I think we'd be looking for something more conservative. Credo che vorremmo qualcosa di più classico.

We need something in keeping with the company image. Abbiamo bisogno di qualcosa in armonia con l'immagine dell'azienda.

I think it would be better to go for something with dark colours, especially on the homepage. Credo che sarebbe meglio qualcosa con colori scuri, specialmente nella homepage.

Now we've had a look at some of the designs, I'd like to move on to the time scales. Ora che abbiamo dato un'occhiata ai design, vorrei passare alla questione dei tempi.

How quickly could you have the web site ready? In quanto tempo potrebbe completare il sito?

That would depend on how much work would need to go into it. Questo dipende da quanto lavoro sarà necessario investire.

A plain design would need less work of course. Un design semplice richiederebbe naturalmente meno lavoro.

A more intricate one would take about a couple of months to plan, design, and deliver. Uno più complicato richiederebbe un paio di mesi tra progettazione, design e consegna.

Obviously, the amount of work involved would affect the cost of the project. Naturalmente, la quantità di lavoro richiesto incide sul costo del progetto.

I could send you a quote. Potrei mandarvi un preventivo.

Could we see some of the other web sites you've designed? Potremmo vedere altri siti web di sua creazione?

I'll send you a catalogue. Vi manderò un catalogo.

That would be excellent. Sarebbe perfetto.

Could you send us quotes for all of the styles just so we have an idea of costs? Potrebbe mandarci dei preventivi per tutti gli stili in modo da avere un'idea dei costi?

We need to know how far our budget will stretch. Abbiamo bisogno di sapere fin dove si spingerà il nostro budget.

Does anyone have any other questions? Avete altre domande?

I think we'll call it a day there. Credo che possiamo concludere qui.

Thank you, Mr Maxwell, for coming along today. Signor Maxwell, grazie per essere venuto.

I look forward to receiving your e-mail with the links to other sites you've designed. Aspetto di ricevere la sua e-mail con i link agli altri siti che ha progettato.

I'll send it to you tomorrow. Ve la mando domani.

I'll show you out. L'accompagno all'uscita.
