Please read our comments and take design cues from these sites as you see fit. http://www.shopsanctuaryt.com/ Navigation Panel: multicolor, clean, nicely laid out http://heartbreakerfashion.com/ Like the logo in the center with the stripes in the background; Also like the matching design at the bottom. (You can use the stripe pattern in our package design) http://www.crumbs.com/cupcakes#0 Not for the overall feel of the site, but if you click on the product image, you get a popup, which is the kind of thing we want to implement, just so you know. http://thegreetingfarm.com/ Like the subtle background image as well as the overall look and feel http://www.fitocracy.com/ Not for the site design, but if you look to the lower right area, there is a “What people are saying” bubble, which we want to include in the design. (****UPDATE: they just renovated their design and this site is not a good example now. However, we still do want the user feedback bubble. Thanks)

We are a startup and starting out small with just a few items. Two big categories: 1) Ice cream mix flavors (5 flavors for now) 2) Ice cream toppings (Not sure yet how many kinds) Homepage: At the top is a little section with My account, View Cart etc. Company logo in the center, horizontal navigation panel, large image slider (pretty conventional up to this point) Navigation Bar (with drop-down menus) includes “Products”, “About Us”, “Information”, “Blog” etc. Right below these are product listings, Ice cream flavor section followed by Ice cream topping one. We’re thinking to do away with individual product pages. Instead, display everything on the homepage in an uncluttered, clean and creative layout. You click on the image of product, you get a Javascript-enabled popup with Product Details, Add to Cart, Customer Reviews etc. We’re selling ice cream mixes of all things, so feel free to make it fun, exciting, colorful etc. and use all your creative juices! We want designs that will work with the look and feel of our packages (See attached files). We like the stripe pattern at the top, so if you could incorporate that motif seamlessly into the overall site design, that’d be a big plus. In addition to homepage, there are pages for About Us, Information, Blog etc., as laid out in the Navigation Panel.

As for attached files, our package design is the one on the right in DelightMix_Package.jpg Our logo designs in two different file formats. Preferably, use the top logo design in the file. Just so you know, we plan to the Magento platform. Our target audience is families with kids, so please design accordingly and, more than anything, be bold and creative! Thank you.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Web page design starts at $599.
