Project description
Design contest for new www.1890.no
1890 is a Norwegian phone directory provider. www.1890.no is our online web directory for person and business phone listings. We are redesigning our website and need proposals for new design.
Keywords:
- Simplistic
- Give the feeling of fast/snappy and lightweight
- Phone directory
- BUT think more search engine than directory. (like altavista or the old google?)
A demo of the new site, showing MOST of the elements, is accessible on http://demo.1890.no/
Main competition in Norway is 180.no, 1880.no, 1881.no, 1888.no
Elements on the page that need a place in the design are:
- Logo (The logo will be used as is)
- Searchbox
- - +as-you-type-suggestions
- - +”did-you-mean”-suggestions
- - allert/status-field when a search is submitted
- paginated result set
- - result for persons, businesses and profiled businesses must be distinguished with icons and/or colors
- - person results:
- - - Name
- - - Address
- - - action-links
- - - phones (+icons for cell, fax and landline)
- - business results
- - - Names (1 to 3)
- - - Addresses (1 or 2)
- - - action-links
- - - phones (+icons for cell, fax and landline)
- - - e-mail-link (profiled businesses only)
- - - web-site-link (profiled businesses only)
- - - expandable field with more info (“foretaksinfo”) and link to a landing page
- - landing page / profile page for businesses with the info from (“foretaksinfo”) and room for more verbose presentation of the business
- menu with further information about the site and our company and static pages for that information
- Advertising banners of varying size and colors
- Navigators for navigating / narrowing the search result
- Classic clickable phone directory for navigating your way into the directory and for search engine indexing of the site.
Colors:
Colors should be light and probably a lot of white.
The design must match the orange color of the 1890 Logo (yes, I am sorry), but need not use that color extensively.
