Web Design Brief
Design a homepage and internal product page for a community bank. Needs to be mobile friendly, minimal scrolling on home. Create the homepage look & feel, then use the same aesthetic to create the product page for the personal checking account page.
Wireframes, logo variations, and color scheme attached.
New brand identity:
• Open, Fresh, Younger, Bright, Bold, New, Innovative.
• Inviting, approachable, friendly, trustworthy.
• Imagine a young family purchasing their first home as the target audience.
You do not have to stick to the exact layout of the wireframes, as long as all of the elements are present.
All navigation elements are specified in wireframes. There are three versions of the homepage – Personal Home, Business Home, Wealth Management Home – you may design whichever version you prefer.
For internal page – please design the Checking product page, included in wireframes.
NOTE: Submit your homepage design first. I will provide feedback on your design direction, then you can use that to move forward with the internal page design.

Updates
Hi everyone,
Here is a link to a "live" version of the wireframes -- on moqups.com: https://moqups.com/skirk/VZR0qyB5/
I took out all of the excess pages, so that you can just see the important pages, and it will be easier for you to view the wireframes in a browser. I also added some notes to the wireframes.
In addition, I created a final duplicate homepage with a "grid overlay" to illustrate what I mean about needing the design to be mobile-friendly. I will not need mobile layouts. Just the normal desktop layout. However, we will be developing using a method many of you have probably seen -- where widths are based on columns of the page. So your design should have each element align with a number of columns. That is what I mean by "mobile-friendly."
I will be reviewing designs and posting individual feedback on the designs submitted so far by tomorrow morning.
Thanks!

It is not necessary to submit several versions of your design, with different photographs in the large graphic.
If you do submit different versions with different photos, please also consider changing other elements on the page (full-width photo, vs "boxed" width, different use of colors, gradient, transparency, borders, etc), so we can see your creativity as a designer and provide feedback on which design direction we think works best.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We are down to our final considerations, but still need to see the internal page and want to give designers sufficient time to submit an internal page.

For designers who still have a design under consideration -- please review the original design brief. We would like to see one internal page for the checking account page, matching your homepage look & feel. This does not have to be as big / bold as the homepage, but should match the design feel that you created for your homepage.

Hi to all designers --
We really like the internal designs that each of the finalists have submitted, so we will be having a difficult choice regarding the winning design. We are considering all of the submissions carefully - both homepage and checking account page together - and will make our decision tomorrow. Thanks for all of your efforts! We will get back to you with feedback and our decision shortly.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hi designers,
I am extending the deadline by 1 day. This will be the FINAL extension.
My team and I are still reviewing the final submissions. Each designer who is CURRENTLY a finalist with designs under consideration may submit ONE last design during this extension.
PLEASE NOTE !! TO BE FAIR TO EVERYONE --- YOU MAY ONLY SUBMIT ONE FINAL DESIGN. Anyone who submits two or more additional designs during the extension will be disqualified. We just want to give everyone a last opportunity to respond to the feedback they have received on their homepage or internal page -- as we have been slow to provide feedback.
We apologize for the delays. Thanks!
