Web Design Brief
Website design for a project currently under development intending to allow budding entrepreneur's and charitable parties to seek public funding for their venture's. The platform is planned to operate in a similar way to DesignCrowd, with entrepreneur's and supporters. For details of how this sort of platform operates, you can check the wikipedia page [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_funding].
An overview of the workflow;
1. Entrepreneur creates a venture.
2. Supporters discover venture and decide to support it.
3. Supporter commits to makes a payment commitment via some merchant gateway.
4. When the venture end time arrives, everyone involved is notified regarding the success or abandonment of the venture.
5. In the case of a successful funding raise;
5.1 Supporter payments are processed and approved or rejected.
5.2 Entrepreneur proceeds to contact all approved supporters in order to complete their pledges.
We have no existing branding for this product, so website design will include logo design. Something simple will most likely work best. We are using the name "Kaz Crowdunding" currently.
Will want to see your ideas for a few pages. In particular, the home page of course, a category/search page and a details page for a particular venture. We will attach screenshots of our working prototype, they give an idea of the layout we are currently working with. You will probably recognise the standard jQuery UI theme currently used. If you can design something nice within the jQuery UI framework, that's great, but it is probably too restricting.

Requirements
Should not have
- We would like to avoid loading/splash pages or anything that would slow down a user's initial experience. Minimise clicks from being new entrepreneur to getting a project going.
Avoid distracting animations [transition effects, appropriately used are effective].
