Normally I would be excited to work on another web design contest for Designbay. However, your brief reads more like a list of demands.

Starting a creative brief for a design contest site with "YOU MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE DESIGNING ECOMMERCE WEBSITES" is a very off-putting way to get any designer excited to work on your project - especially for how little pay you''re offering, and to top it off, who wants to put a bathroom site in their portfolio? Not to mention you don''t provide your logo or any supporting files, just a list of other crummy bathroom sites that leave designers wondering if you want your site to look like or not look like them?

There''s not a lot to get stoked about for your project, perhaps being a bit more open and less rigid in your brief would stir up more creative enthusiasm from the collective global design team you''re hoping to get work from.

Well, e-commerce is more about functionality, and this guys know what they are after. It looks to me like pretty simple job. Just a question.. Do you want to keep any of the original design - i m refering to the upper part of the page, menu and other stuff?

Hi In2Graphics.

The logo needs to stay the same and we put a lot of effort in to the design using the large clear buttons at the top and pictures of people. the eight buttons and the images of people have worked really well for us.

We added a drop down menu at the top (grey bar) which helped tidy the site up. This does however double up on the menu (links) as we have the same options down the left hand side. this is not to much of an issue as some people use the left and others use the top.

So basically we need the feel of the site to be similar but we are open to suggestions.

The biggest issue is the product page. We feel that it is far to busy and needs simplifying. The problem is we need to get across lots of information in such a small space (see brief).
 
You can get some ideas from the sample site in the brief. Thanks

hi,

you say the people images in the header worked well for you, do you want to keep them exactly the way they are? or can they be moved around, changed or even eliminate one of them ?

thanks

Hi Claudia

they can be move as long as they are in the view when the users firsat visits the site

thanks
