DSMN8 is a new web & app product for sharing social media content across and beyond commercial organisations. It drives employee engagement and social reach through helping employees propogate existing social content as well as creating their own. The new site has to appeal to potential new b2b and b2c business customers (small, medium, enterprise) and new employees, positioning DSMN8 as a brand that is confident, focused on it's product - a start-up with purpose and energy.

We have considered Sydney and LeadSurf Lite Wordpress themes - their general look and feel seems a good fit, however we're looking for something much more personal to DSMN8; something that looks like it was designed only for DSMN8. Any considered design will need to show this start-up brand as both highly dynamic and very professional in its approach. Please also keep in mind that you will need to incorporate images of the app itself (use dummy images for now) as well as reporting dashboard (please also use stock imagery for now).

Proposed wireframes are attached. We aren't fixated on them, but give a good guide to the kind of approach we anticipate. CTA buttons should use the same orange colour as used in the logo. This brief is for five pages: - Homepage - Features Page - Why DSMN8 - Blog - Contact Us HOMEPAGE: • This should be able to feature a large COVER IMAGE with headline text and a call to action button. • TOP NAVIGATION and SIGN IN BUTTON should all be really nicely integrated into the design; clear but not overbearing. • TOP NAVIGATION will be remain visable during page-scroll. •  Modular grid will feature headline content that can be updated frequently (e.g. blog posts, news item, feature video). • 3 examples of FULL PAGE STORIES that can be shown (or not). – The 3 styles can vary, they don't have to follow wire-frame example, but they do need to be able to show headlines, images and text for each story. • The page FOOTER needs to feature site options as per the wireframes, with social links and a "Request a Demo" call to action. The footer will feature on all pages. FEATURES: At launch there will be 8 key features (with more to be added in future), each of which needs a graphic icon to aid quick visual recognition of the type of feature. This feature grid will link down the page to modular sections that feature a headline, image and description for each feature, with two orientations (image right and image left). WHY DSMN8: This page needs to show a promotional video (or graphic in same space), explanatory text and two buttons ("Plans & Pricing" should be Orange, "Features" should be grey to give preference to this). Underneath this will be a narrow carousel highlighting either clients or key 'bite-size' statistics that help sell the opportunity of the DSMN8 platform. BLOG: It's a blog! So it must highlight the latest blog post, show recent blog posts and make it easy to find older blog posts by time or content. CONTACT US: This page needs to show two office locations (UK and UAE) as well as contact details. We don't mind how people contact us, we want them to be able to quickly identify the option that they're most comfortable with. Contact pages can be very lifeless - being the last page on the site potential customers may visit this page needs to leave as good an impression as another page with the same quality of interface design. There is potential for other pages to be briefed to the successful designer (Pricing, About US, Search Results, 404) outside of this contest.

Nothing off-limits as long as everything is there for a reason. Like the app the site must be intuitive and clear, so any elements used to construct the site must follow an "everything for a reason" approach with should be apparent without explanation. The colour pallet should match the attachments.

The logo typeface is not final - if by adopting a different typeface the site design works better we're open to suggestion, but a new logo isn't a specific part of this brief.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. WordPress theme design starts at $599.
