Web Design Brief

I need a clean, modern and great looking re-design for vacuumwizard.com. We review vacuum cleaners by testing them in various situations and basically offer the most comprehensive vacuum cleaner reviews on the web at the moment.

I would like the site to be very easy for a visitor to get the information they need and ideally decide quickly to buy the vacuum.

I need two types of pages:

1. Homepage and articles
Design headers, line breaks, and blocks of content or advertising in the right column. Typical page: http://www.vacuumwizard.com/dyson-vacuum-cleaners.html


2. Reviews
Current example: http://www.vacuumwizard.com/dyson-dc25-review.html

The information above the fold needs to include:
- rating (up to 5 stars)
- product image
- date
- author
- Facebook, Twitter links
- pros and cons
- price and buying options (typically Amazon.com)
- short text description
- tabs or table of contents that links to: review, ratings, specifications (design the table), user reviews

Very similar to professional review sites like:
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-arc-Review_id2706

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/tablets/366862/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc

http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-review-50002090/

At the end of the review there should be:
- social share buttons (similar to http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-arc-Review_id2706)

- links (optional: with images) to 3 related vacuums (can also be combined with 300x250 advertising block (see above link and http://www.slashgear.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-review-25148107/))

Summary: design me a cool and clean looking review website. I suggest you check out a few of the top websites in phone or laptop niches as they are the most professional. You won't find any in a vacuum niche except www.consumersearch.com which reviews all sorts of products.

Target Market(s)

English speaking adults (mostly from USA) looking to buy a household vacuum cleaner.

Industry/Entity Type

Advertising

Look and feel

Each slider illustrates characteristics of the customer's brand and the style your logo design should communicate.

Requirements

Must have

• The site must have 2 columns - content on the left and advertising and blocks of content on the right. It must have horizontal navigation.
  
  Example: http://moneysavingmom.com/, http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-arc-Review_id2706, http://www.productreview.com.au/p/brother-bc-2500.html
  
  Design links in the horizontal nav to:
  - Best (http://www.vacuumwizard.com/best-vacuum-cleaner.html)
  - Wizard (http://wizard.vacuumwizard.com/)
  - Compare (no URL yet)
  - Reviews By Brands (no URL yet - might have a drop down menu that links to all brands links in the left navigation menu at the moment (Dyson, Miele, etc.))
  - Reviews by Types (see above)
  - 2-3 more buttons which I may add later
  
  The site must also have:
  - breadcrumbs links (see productreview.com site above)
  - links to our Twitter, Facebook and Youtube channel
  - Google Adsense search box above the fold (can be in the header or below)

Nice to have

• Possibility of 728x90 adsense block in the header or under the header. (but NOT above the header!) Some examples which are also good examples of review sites and layout: http://www.viewpoints.com/Brother-Sewing-Machine-Computerized-CS6000i-reviews, http://www.productreview.com.au/p/brother-bc-2500.html
  
  I also really like the subheadlines in this post: http://www.slashgear.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-review-25148107/ (title and red line underneath - can you do something similar?)
  
  You can use the attached logo or attempt to design a cooler looking one.
