Contest Brief

need someone creative to come up with a new website for me. The website is called The Gifted SIngaorean and is basically a blog selling affiliate products for Gifted students (and for parents who want their children to get into Gifted Programmes. I want it to be fairly "exclusive" i.e. only Gifted or Talented students can "join" (and get a free email). I will also organise quarterly activities for them to learn digital skills (i.e. website coding followed by other types of coding), design skills (using Canva), photography skills, videography skills to help them rediscover their creative confidence.

It's June holidays now for a month, and for 3 months for University students so am very keen to launch this as soon as possible.

I would like the website to have:
1. Home Page
2. List of Free Gifted Resources (websites, studies, articles, activities for the Gifted Children)
3. E-Shop: Paid Gifted Resources (either through my affiliate links with Amazon, OR my current agreement with Stanford's Gifted and Talented programme, AND my deal with the largest IQ test administrator)
4. Blog
5. Forum for interaction group chat
6. Leaderboard (possibly) - I want to create some level of competitiveness as well to see who can score the highest scores in my tests above as that would drive even more purchases.
7. Contact us / About me / Subscribe to Newsletter
I don't want a wordpress. I would like to stick to Squarespace, Weebly, Webydo and Webflow. I currently have accounts with all of them so you can use mine or build your own.

Finally, website that i like very much are:
www.brilliant.org
www.debbestern.com
www.teachersknowsbest.org
www.regent-college.edu
www.impossible-bureau.com

I am typically extremely black and white oriented but I don't think that's a good idea here.. I like clean, minimalist, flat, sophisticated. But for this site, I think it would be more ideal if we could use strong bright colours and something FUN (I like Hot Pink and Minty Green and Yellow or Rainbow) I do like colourful backgrounds (I have a large library of templates, backgrounds, icons that I can share with you.) Attached colour schemes that I like.

My hosting account is with Bluehost where I have quite a lot of other websites.

I've attached my twitter header and my twitter avatar (lion with a graduation cap - as our national landmark is the Merlion (half fish half lion) but feel free to change that as well as the twitter logic tree but I'll attach all the transparent PNG files for you to use. (also attaching some of my other logos that i created myself so you can see my look and feel).

Typography is very important to me, please be creative with use. My favourite fonts are Raleway, Quicksand, Big John, Slim Joe, Lobster Two, Great VIbes, Grand Hotel, Schoolbell, Shadows in the Light. Open to Art Deco Fonts too.

PROJECT DELIVERABLE
1. Example of a home page that can be built on HTML / CSS (preferably built on Squarespace or WEBYDO or WEBFLOW). Can be in PNG format,
2. I am looking for creative scrolling, so show me examples of how you've done it before.
3. Quote to build the final website

ONE home page that will give me a sense of the look and feel of the website. And a quote on how much it would cost to build the entire site. I am NOT looking for a one-page website. I'm looking for the home page of a 7 page website. I am looking for someone I can work with on many different projects in the future. The winning homepage should also get the award to build the entire website, as well as my other websites (digitaldiscovery - online marketing website, littlecoders.sg - coding for kids, giftedandtalented - stanfords gifted curriculum, debbiediscovers - my own personal website).

Am on a tight budget but it really depends on your design. I will bid low but will reward you handsomely if you deliver to my satisfaction.

    Please read the instructions clearly - This fee requires that the full website be built out, not just the PSD file - so I need e-commerce functionality, admin dashboard functionality, Forum discussion functionality. and membership functionality. Thanks.

    For everyone else, thank you so much for the great work. just want to make sure that everyone understands that the brief is to build the website and not just to create a PSD visual mockup. If you are not able to build the website, please withdraw your entry

    Overall looking good - please note that I would really like hover, scrolling (does not have to be parallax,but should be unconventional i.e. right to left) - please refer to teachersknowbest.org - I would love something that looked like that. I also need an e-commerce store. Thanks all for your efforts

      That teachersknowbest.org is based mostly on parallax scrolling :)
      Please leave feedback to my design #6

    Designs rejected because - it's not aesthetically pleasing, and is too generic. I want something different / special. See the websites I quoted. I'm looking for WOW effect - something with unique scrolling or animation effect. It doesn't have to be super sophisticated - animated CSS is sufficient,. I'm inclined towards large frameless grids that have some kind of hover effect. Please do refer to the websites I mentioned in the brief for what I like.

    Hello deborahkay, I understand the needs of the project, yet one question remains uncertain: is it needed to use Squarespace / Weebly / etc or it is also possible to code webpages by myself? And then convert it into a theme for specific engine (if it's needed)?

    I've upgraded the price so for this price I would expect the website to be built as well - please use either Squarespace or Webydo to build it.
