Hello!
I've done multiple contests on Design Outpost (including the previous version of our website), and i've always been happy with the results. It's time for a site redesign (after about 5 years!). We are looking to change the "Feel" and bring in a fresh, new, and clean look. Here are some details:
Company Details
1a) Name of Company
1b)Company Tag Line or slogan:
A
1c) Do you have a company logo?
Yes - Attached.
1d) Do you have a corporate visual identity (a customized (non stock) logo and color scheme carried out throughout your office, stationery, business cards, etc.)?
Not Applicable.
1e) What is the nature of your business?: Briefly describe your products or services:
Website for a small city in Ontario, Canada. Where users can browse local business, post classifieds, etc.
1f) Who is your target market? Who are you hoping to reach with your site?
Users who are living / visiting our town.
Website Details
1b) Do you have an existing website? If so, what is the URL?
also desigined 5 years ago here!).
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.
1.
http://yourneighbours.de/
I like the clean design and enjoy how the colours "pop". I also like the use of white space near the top and the "large" header area.
2.
http://www.paravelinc.com/
Again - like the colour contrat, the square icons, and the simplicity of the design.
3.
http://notcoming.com/
I like the menu bar at the top...and the typography here..very clean and elegant.
4.
http://www.super8.co.uk/
Again - like the simplicity and how 4 buttons pop against the background. Also like the great use of whitespace.
5.
http://www.vudumedia.com/
Just like everything about this layout.
6.
http://designwoop.com/
Like the boldness of the header / logo - and the colour selection.
3b) What colors or color schemes would you like?
Simplisitc. Clean. White Space. See site examples above.
4b) List the Navigation links for your Site:
I want "4 main" links - Directory, Classifieds, Exclusives, Discounts, and then several "smaller" links - About Us, Contact Us, Site Map, Privacy, Legal Notices. The first four links need to be predominant - either in the form of some kind of icons / logo's, etc.
5b) What type of look are you trying to achieve? (e.g. clean, high-tech, conservative, warm, flashy, etc.)
Clean - minimalistic - taking into account typography. A great desription of the type of design im' looking for...

Deadlines and Deliverables
1c) What is the deadline for your template design?
March 21, 2010.
2c) Will you require HTML coding? (Yes/No)
Yes - we require a front page - and two subpages (both of which will be fairly "simple").
Additional Notes
It's important to note that in addition to the requirnments above, on the "main page" we require:
1. The links to the 4 main sections showing predominantly
2. An outline of the "directory" - including links to all the main categories on i.e.// Automative, Career, Computers, etc).
3. A search box.
Thanks everyone for your participation, and i can't wait to see some great designs.
Andrew!
