Requirements
Must have
  • The logo should:
    - Have the text "DomainNames"
    - Be positioned in the top left hand corner of the website
    - Be either a wordmark, pictorial or abstract logo. That is, text-only logos are acceptable but we are also interested in receiving logos with a mark to the left that could somehow represents the business that we’re in

    The homepage should:
    - Feel modern, slick, web2.0
    - Have a horizontal menu with 4 menu items: About Us | Contact Us | My Cart | Login
    - Include the logo at the top
    - Include the content from this Word Document
    - Include the rough layout and style from this JPG template layout

    The interior page should:
    - Have the same look and feel as the home page
    - Include the rough layout and style from this JPG attachment
    - Include the content from this second Word Document
Nice to have
  • - Grey, white and black primary colors
    - Buttons that are green or lime green with a web2.0 call to action
    - Full-width design (i.e. across the screen like DesignCrowd)
Should not have
  • - Do not include overt Australian references. While we are an Australian business we do not want Australian flags, kangaroos or Crocodile Dundee in our logo or on our website.
    - Do not use the current red color scheme in the design. We want to move away from this.
