No, which is why we need a fresh web template!
1e) what is the nature of your business:
eJOSS is a job market portal for PhDs in the social sciences. It connects recent graduates (job market candidates), employers, and references (in the social sciences, references send recommendations only on request and directly to the employer).
Briefly describe your products or services:
The services are the following:
- For job market candidates, we simplify the job search and application process.
- For employers, we provide better access to job market candidates and offer tools so that hiring institutions can organize their applications and structure their recruiting process
- For references, we simplify the referencing process (i.e. automate the sending of recommendations / reference letters)
1f) who is your target market? Who are you hoping to reach with your site?
Our target market is the following
- Job Market Candidates: recent PhDs in the social sciences
- Employers: Universities, Government Organizations, Private Sector Research (quant. Finance, Consulting etc.), NGOs

Our focus is international, but the USA is by far the most important market.
Our mission is to establish eJOSS as the leading portal in the field that places nearly all recent PhDs in the social sciences.
Website Details
1b) Do you have an existing website?
No
2b) IMPORTANT: Please list at least 3 URLs (web addresses) of high quality sites that you like the look of (these do not have to be sites who’s business is similar to yours. It aids us in determining what your design style is.) Please consider layout, colors, navigation, graphics, and typography.
Target resolution would be 1024px x 768px.
Layout:
Layout is two column fixed. Landing page would be single column.
Check xing.com for layout. Screenshots will be supplied on request.
There is Monster demo which could give quite a good idea of layout but DO NOT consider feel and look: http://www.monster.co.uk/siteDemo/761_Monster_Jobseeker.htm
Colors:
Corn silk (#E8E5D4) background, medium purple (#472A74) highlighted elements, white content area, font color black (http://www.nyu.edu/)

light olive (#8C9163) background, dark indian red (#910414) header and highlighted elements, light yellow content area (#FFFFCC), font color black (http://www.harvard.edu/)
Navigation:
Main horizontal navigation (optional horizontal sub-navigation) and the left column sub-navigation. Horizontal footer navigation.
Graphics:
Typography:

3b) what colors or color schemes would you like?
Different color sets should be supplied for public content (landing page, public search, etc…), employers section, candidates section and referees section.
Usage of web safe colors is not of ultimate importance.

7b) Do you have any images for use in the design of your site? If not, do you have images, can you offer suggestions of what type of imagery you feel would be most suitable for your website:
We have no images. Use of stock photography would be OK. Images should emphasize connection between youthful, dynamic candidates and professional, willful employers. Only few images on landing page would be needed.
Deadlines and Deliverables
1c) What is the deadline for the design of your project?
ASAP - and we really mean as SOON as possible.
2c) What is required breakdown of the files you require our designers to supply you with on finalization of your project?
