Web Design Brief

The project's name is Kreuzfahrthammer.
www.kreuzfahrthammer.de
The current design (which I don't really like) can be found here:
http://kfh02.kreuzfahrthammer.de/

I m not too happy with what the current developers have been done so far (in terms of design), so I hope to find a great designer her to develop a design that kicks arses. : )

We are currently developing a site for the German market that brings travel agents and cruise holiday makers together. We are not an ordinary travel agency.
Kreuzfahrthammer is a quick and convenient way to have independent travel agencies compete to offer our site visitors the best cruise deal available in Europe.

Here is a short video that explains what one of our competitors does; it gives a good overview as our site will be similar:
http://www.cruisecompete.com/video_how_cruisecompete_works.php
(Cruisecompete.com is not a great website in terms of design, so please dont get me wrong.)

The logo has already been created, but both the colours (should remain blueish) and the font can be modified. The font colour can be changed dramatically if you think this is of advantage.

The Website design should be professional and unique and become an eye catcher. It must attract visitors of all age groups, a "wow-effect" is definitely a bonus.
Users should easily see what this website is about.

We need the following text on our homepage:

"Immer der beste Preis -
denn Reisebüros kämpfen um Sie!"
(means "Always the best rate - as travel agents compete offer the best deal")
This is a sort of headline.

We also need:

So funktioniert Kreuzfahrthammer:
1. Wunschkreuzfahrt wählen
2. Angebote erhalten und vergleichen
3. Reisebüro kontaktieren und buchen

(This explains briefly how our system works.)

Aside banners maybe needed later for advertising.

Additions I need on the front page are:
- Login / Sign-Up / Your benefits
(I quite like the way it's done on http://www.bangkokpost.com, at the very top of the page)
- Recommendation-link
(for everything else: Pls. refer to kfh02.kreuzfahrthammer.de
- 3 or 4 "top offers of the week"
(current format is not very appealing; offers can be displayed as on http://cruises.ebookers.com/affiliate/promo.rvlx?OfferID=CAREPI13 or

A maritime look is surely an option here, as we focus on cruises. But maybe you can surprise me with a great idea.

I quite like the designs where basically one photo / picture is used.
Some examples which look great IMHO:

The following designer has also done a great job:

Please get in touch with me if there are any questions or if you require further details. I ll get back to all inquiries / messages as soon as possible, usually within a few hours... Feel free to ask technical questions, too, (if any), the developer will be of assistance.

Dear All,

Thank you so much for all your proposals.
Later today I will have a decent internet connection connection again, so I will be able to finally comment on your ideas and visions.

Hopefully next week we can finalize this project. Feel free to submit more designs or ask any questions if there are any.
Remember: Kreuzfahrthammer won't be an ordinary travel agent. It brings cruise holiday makers and travel agents together.
