Brief Overview

UniversityTutor.com is a growing tutoring site with 14,000 tutors all over the world (English speaking countries only). I'm taking on big companies like Kaplan and Sylvan who keep 50% of what the tutor makes, and instead letting tutors and students find each other directly online. In this sense the site is a bit like 99designs but for tutoring! I need your help to improve the design of the site, make it more professional, and bring it up to date.

Brand Name

UniversityTutor.com

Target Audience

Two categories: 1. Students & Parents 2. Tutors Students & Parents are looking for help in school. Tutors are looking to make money with tutoring jobs. Note: there is a big geographic component to this site because the majority of students need to find a tutor who lives nearby so they can *meet in person*. Key conversion for students & parents: *contacting a tutor* Key conversion for tutors: *creating a tutor profile* Note: students often first see the site from a landing page that comes up in Google (not the homepage).

Requirements

I'd like you to makeover the site to accomplish two things: 1. give it a professional, clean, web 2.0, fun look 2. improve the usability and stickiness of the site for first time visitors You *don't* have to use just what's currently on a page and rearrange it. You can start from scratch and say "how should this page look in an ideal world given all the data I know they have on this site". To get a feel for the site, you can check out some of these pages. You don't have to send PSD's for all of them - see where you think the biggest contribution can be made. Homepage http://www.universitytutor.com/ Landing Page http://austin.universitytutor.com/algebra Tutor Profile Page http://austin.universitytutor.com/tutors/23658 Map Search Page http://www.universitytutor.com/find/algebra/Austin?redirect=yes I like clean, simple, minimalist, bright, web 2.0 designs. Here are some examples I like: http://sortfolio.com the Pro themes on http://www.tumblr.com http://wufoo.com http://okcupid.com http://goincase.com http://vimeo.com gmail.com and most Google products Final delivery should be a Layered PSD file. Thanks!! Brian
