LuxuryHotels of the World

Tagline: not yet set Desired Color Scheme: open to your suggestions Desired Style: clean, clear, professional Accepted File Formats: Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff); if coded smarty .tpl After having failed receiving an even mediocre design on getafreelancer.com and rentacoder.com and having now discovered 99designs, I am sure to find a suiting design as I can see the actual skills at work. I do not have any specific design requirements apart from the design having to incorporate the following content on the home page: - header with navigation (best hotels, popular hotels, new hotels, special offers, contact, forum, maps, destination guides) - footer with navigation (contact, customer service, about, privacy, disclaimer, sitemap, ressources/partners, links to different hotel chains -> see fivestaralliance) - main categories with sub-categories - top destinations - newest additions - tag cloud - newsletter - login - search You can earn an additional bonus of 57 USD each for creating templates for the destination site (info about the area, hotel listings, temperature in this area, lates news and latest forum posts) and the property site (featuring description, pictures, amenities, room types with rack rates, map with location, download link of fact sheet and reviews, have a look here for a rough guideline: http://www.vlmuae.com/hotel/39249). If you deliver the templates ready for phpld rather then just the the design I am willing to throw in a further bonus of 114 USD, taking the maximum award in this contest to 485 USD! To give you a general idea of sites I like have a look at bnet.com, tablethotels.com, webhostlist.de, holidays.easyjet.com, iht.com/travel, extravigator.com, fivestaralliance.com, starwoodpro.com, travelintelligence.com and mytravelguide.com. Tablethotels is coming very close to the ideal I am looking for, offering a striking navigation, lot's of information without seeming cluttered. The layout should have one large picture describing one hotel spanning over two columns and maybe 5 - 7 smaller thumbshots leading to other hotel descriptions. - To participate in this contest, you need to be the legal owner of the entry. - Any imagery contained within your entry (such as clipart, stock photography, fonts or stock artwork) need to be royalty free for commercial use. - If the winner has been previously successful on 99designs, payment will be done as per the designers choice. Should this be your first winning entry, payment will be done through a private bid request on getafreelancer.com using their escrow system to ensure a safe transfer for both parties,. I am sure that this will be in your interest as well being able to get a rating and review there in addition to the peace of mind that the transaction will be safe.
