Your Duel
Your Duel is going to be an online website that allows people to create duels.
For example, Iphone V Blackberry, BMW V Ferrari.
People can leave comments on Duels and people aim to win duels by creating different duels for different genres.
The site is going to be a web 2.0 website.
I want you to be original as possible and not copy others.
However, here are just a few website designs I like.
http://musikpitch.com/
http://www.stumbleupon.com - People surf the Internet and rate each side accordingly.
Page 1 (Homepage).
I want the homepage to be web 2.0 style layout.
My logo should be on the top left hand side (I have several transparent logos).
The background of the template must be white and clean. Also relate it to the theme of the logo - White and Red -- and also use the colour of orange, or whatever looks good...
Home page must have categories on the left hand side.
The categories must be titled...(Categories will also have sub categories). For example, under the category "Beauty" the genre "hairstyles" will also fall under.
Art/Paintings
Beauty
Bizarre
Brands
Cars
Celebrity
Clothing
Cities
Countries
Dance
Gadgets
People
Pets
Schools/Colleges
Sports
Teachers
Music (singers/rappers, bands)
Novelists
Other
The homepage must also contain 2 images, side by side.
With a big VS sign in the middle (in Gold)
So for example, BMW VS Ferrari.
The homepage will randomly generate a duel automatically.
Under each duel people must be able to leave comments so make sure there is a comment space too.
Just above the comments box, there must be space underneath each duel to display the amount of votes received. (I.E: 12,675 votes - 6.546 votes.)
There must be a timer also for each duel. Timer must be in the middle of each duel just above the VS text.
At the top there must be icons for user to Register and Log in. There must also be a big icon or button at the bottom of each duel that says Vote for this Duel. For non registered members they will need to register to vote for the duel or create their own.
At the top there must also be a link that says Create Duel.
There must also be social media icons at the top - e.g. Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.
Make sure on the homepage it says this just near the bottom.
1. Register!
2. Create!
3. Duel!
People must be able to log in to the Duel Site using Facebook so there must be a Facebook icon at the bottom that says Log in with Facebook.
At the bottom of the homepage there must be a horizontal line so people can see the different links.
For example, take a look at http://musikpitch.com/ you can see all the different links there.
Page 2 - Create Duel Page.
.
This is the page where user can create their own duel. This will have different categories for which they assign their duel to.
For example, people can either do a public or private duel. They can also set the time limit of their duel from 24 hours to 48 hours or 1 month. They can select the timer.
The page must be clean and simple.
Page 3 - The Main Duel Page.
When a person lands on a duel page this is the actual page that will show the duel. The duel must show two images or 3 images (depending on the type of duel, side by side with a big VS in the middle...
At the bottom of the duel there must be like button linked through Facebook so people can Like the duel and also Follow the Duel on Twitter. This will appear in bottom right hand corner.
Also this page must have other duels taking place, which will rotate on the right hand side so people can vote for each duel.
ON ALL PAGES THERE MUST BE SPACE FOR ADS, SO SITE CAN MAKE MONEY FROM ADVERTISING.
ADS MUST APPEAR NEXT TO DUELS AND AT THE BOTTOM
