Hi,
The challenge of this contest is to QUICKLY create a sensitive, friendly and appealing site while making it appropriate for the serious nature of the subject. We need initial entries by next Monday June 14th!
Abstract: This contest is for 2 HTML template pages – A main page and a 2nd level page. Deliverables include the 2 HTML templates and all required graphics. The prize is $350.
Scope of Deliverables:
- Two HTML templates, as per Design Guidelines, below.
- Associated CSS style sheets for headers/signpost text, for textual navigation elements, for body text, footer, etc.
Contest Rules: Designers should submit designs for the first page by June 14th. We hope to choose a winner by as early as June 18th.
Website Name: “Asbestos Care Community” or similar
URL: TBD
Description of Website: Mesothelioma, the cancer one can get from prolonged exposure to asbestos materials is often a fatal form of cancer that strikes many years after the asbestos exposure is finished. There are many thousands of people worldwide who have suffered or are suffering as their loved ones contract and are ill with Asbestos Cancer.
This website gives the families of victims a place to share their stories and information on how they coped or are coping with this horrible disease.
Type of impression the site makes: The site should be warm and sensitive, it should look friendly and not businesslike. It should have curves in it and not all rectangles and boxes
Audience: Family and friends of people dealing with terminal cancer of a loved one. The main readers will likely be middle-aged women whose husbands worked in professions that exposed them to asbestos 20 or more years ago. They will come to the site to read about others experience and to add their own comments in a discussion area.
Colors: I will leave this up to the designers.
Design Guidelines:
- Optimize for 800X600 screens
- Most site viewers will be on dialup – so graphics cannot be too heavy.
- Should not include browser-specific code
Menu Contents should contain the following elements:
A- Home: Welcome page
B- Coping with Physical pain
- Some Background
- Pain Management
o Talking to your Doctor
o Therapeutic Options
C- Coping with Emotional pain
- Some Background
- Coping and Support
o A Guide to Your Feelings
o What You Can Do
o Spiritual Support
o Financial Support
D- Our Stories
- We were there, too – articles by people who have been there.
- Asbestos Care Community (forum software)
E - Resources and Links
First Page template – home page – medium graphics can be colorful and friendly rather than look like a business website. Should express the theme of caring and coping and community. Should have curves rather than just angles.
Second Template Page should have:
- Navigation to all pages
- A central section incorporating 6-8 paragraphs of text
- relevant images
Sites I like:
I like sites that are clean and easy to navigate. This site in particular should be very easy to navigate and fast loading.
Speed is important here - we need to get this site up and running ASAP.
thanks,
sam.
