People backpacking, people on a budget.
Educated, male and females, want a simple informative site.
New and existing customers.
One of the most important aspects of the site is a clear and simple search function as this is how most people will navigate the site.
The look of the site should be fun, youthfull, clean and clear.
No Logo at this stage. Just use a font which matches the design.
A few large fun pictures rather than lots of little pictures.
A few icons for key pages. The rest can be simple text type links.
Un cluttered design
