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.
