Web Design Brief
We need a frontpage design for the first independent Forex trading tournaments platform.
Intraday Forex traders from all over the world come to this website to participate in daily contests, and if they trade better than others — win the bets. This website is the first of a kind — it is not affiliated with any type of brokers, and does not promote any broker services.
People can trade with their existing live or demo accounts (and they even can win real money with demo accounts)
The main goal of the frontpage is to explain what this website is about and make them sign up via Facebook or Twitter buttons, or traditional email.
Attached to this project is a sample mock-up that seems reasonable, but we're open to further suggestions.
Updates
Dear designers,
Also please use bigger fonts and use don't leave too big blank spaces.

Requirements
Must have
- * Clean design with clear message
* An easy-to-see way to show that we have single-click Facebook/Twitter registration
Should not have
- * No implied javascript-animated nested menus or pop-ups, no flash — that would make the website difficult to browse on mobile devices which employ touch-based controls
