dvent needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 45 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
We are looking for a home and inner page design for our car insurance quotes website. The site should have the design quality level of sites like NetQuote and Progressive.com and follow a similar layout while ensuring enough navigation points and html text for SEO prowess.
Desired Style:
Modern and Vector based look and feel
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The new site will be at CarInsuranceQuotes.com. We already have a logo, which can be found here: http://nimbusdomains.com/ciqfinal.jpg (you can try it with or without the tagline underneath....if you remove the tagline underneath, please put it somewhere in the header or main image)
It is very important that this site be SEO friendly, so please make sure to design with lorem ipsum content (enough of it...300-450 words minimum on each page). There should be at least 5-7 top or side navigation points with a sub navigation on the inner page. We prefer to use HTML for the navigation text and plan to code in CSS/XHTML for SEO success.
The idea of this site is for people to come to it and enter a zip code and then be put into the car insurance quote request process. If you follow the auto insurance path at NetQuote, you will see how it needs to be designed.
All pages should have:
1) Same color scheme and main navigation
2) Logo in same spot
3) Crisp and captivating imagery/graphics
4) Credibility Factors (such as testimonial modules and possibly a "Did You Know?" box which gives out stats about Car Insurance.
5) Important items such as zip code entry and forms above the fold
6) Headers (we will make these H1 headers above the content when coded)
Please let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
