Web Design Brief
We need the web design of an online portal for the BQN community of Puerto Rico. This should include the landing page, menu page, and at least one content page. The BQN area is a vibrant area in Northwest Puerto Rico with an airport, many local restaurants, beautiful beaches, and many things to do. I attach the logo which should be featured prominently, and we'll also be selling merchandise using this logo. The website should be a place for everyone in the community or tourists looking for things to do and places to stay. It will need to feature space and places for advertising as well. Also, we have a live hashtag feed (www.bqnlife.com) where businesses and people in the community can hashtag their posts (we have licensed software that updates it every 30 minutes). We would like for the live hashtag feed to be part of the design, though the format can be changed a bit from what is currently in place. Indeed, the landing page should be changed to emphasize both the hashtag feed as well as the content of the site of BQNlife. We need the landing page, menu page which will include 10-15 different modules or pages (examples: restaurants, things to do, places to stay, flights). I attach a spreadsheet which shows the menu pages that need to be featured. Comparable websites in our area are www.berincon.com and www.condadoinsider.com (but I don't like either one!). The final design should be contemporary, fresh, colorful fun and current, and communicate a vibrant and interactive community.
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We are excited about some of the work and designs we've seen, but none are exactly what we'd like, so we'd like to allow for more time to see what you're able to do. In general feedback, we'd like to see very clean designs without a lot of busy-ness. This should look very contemporary and clean, not cluttered like the websites that we provided examples of in the brief (we do not like those). Also, we don't want a landing page that has one generic static photograph. We'd like to integrate the live hashtag feed that is currently on www.bqnlife.com, but it doesn't need to look exactly like it is shown on the web site. It can be less photos, in a different, order, etc etc. Please consider that with your design. Thank you, and we will provide detailed feedback on everything so as to have a wonderful design. Please let us know if you have any questions and we will gladly answer. Also, we can almost guarantee that the winning designer will be contracted for more one-on-one work and custom projects in the future, as there will be a lot of work for this business and project. Happy designing!
