It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs

A fresh new design for the website www.architectuurgidsalmere.nl.
The website is a database of architecture, urbanism and landscape in Almere. The appearance and style of the website are currently based on the style and form of the
paperback guide Almere architecture, 2nd edition, Pharos Publishers, ISBN 978-90-79399-
21-5. All objects in the database can also be viewed via the app Layar https://www.layar.com/layers/almerepoortlayer, so you walk or cycle through Almere, so that you can experience the architectural and landscape qualities. An example of a part of the book is attached as a pdf.

Criteria:
The new style of the web site does not have to be in line with the book. We are looking for a sleek design that looks and fits in with modern architecture. It will be an added value if there is something typical of Almere in the design. The website must be available for all screen types (PC, mobile, tablet) (responsive design), we'd like to see again that in the design. The design supports the content that we want to communicate and not dominated them. The presentation of the design is illustrated by explaining the choices made. The website is based on Drupal 7. For the winner there is space on the website in the foot for a logo with a link to your own page.

Exemple of navigation

Here i see that the navigation comes from the pink icon, young people are used to navigation like that on there mobile but older people may not understand it at first.

This contest is finished. Its not possible to reply anymore.

Hi, here is my proposition.
I chose to focus on the interactive map wich is very usefull to navigate on your site; it is very intuitive so i decide to make it as a part of the header.
Then a large background photography, maybe a diaporama. A standard menu by category, and a clear alphabetical presentation of the content.
Hope you'll enjoy.

I like the interactive map in the header and the big picture on the opening screen. I miss a easy navigation and the colours are a maybe to harsh.
