NEW VOLUNTEER PLACEMENT AGENCY NEEDS WEB PAGE DESIGN

Humanitravels is a startup volunteer placement agency that will be sending volunteers to Latin America and beyond.

Humanitravels is an ethically operated green business that sends customers to do volunteer projects in Peru, Guatemala and Brazil. The projects can include community/social development, teaching in schools, reforestation, conservation etc. We will be expanding to include other countries in the next couple years.
We also offer tours, language schools, surf classes and consulting services.
We offer a personalized, tailored and cool approach. Their is constant customer-client interaction in a laid back atmosphere. We are a bit funky and intrepid. We wish to convey all these adjectives in our web design.

Our target audience would be mainly students aged from 18 - 25. They would be middle to upper middle class, educated and socially conscious.

We have a logo and a slogan that we want to include in the overall design. However we have changed our name from Humanitravel to Humanitravels so the designer would need to add that additional 's' to the logo. We want the logo and slogan to be included on every page.

We like the colors that the logo includes but are open to ideas. Remember we want to convey a green, ethical feel so earth tones are probably best. We like the example of STA Travel and other websites that have photos as the background. We have attached some photos that you could use or feel free to use other creative commons licensed photos.

We want a homepage, a gallery page, and a gallery page. The pages should coalesce design wise.

We want the page to be easily navigable and able to include add on such as twitter feeds.

We are going to work with projects in 3 (Peru, Guatemala and Brazil) countries so for each country we would like a photo relating to that country as the background. The template can remain the same jus the background pic should be different. NOTE: We have attached pics for Brazil we don't have any of Guatemala and Peru.

If you have any questions feel free to email us at alexandra.alden@yahoo.com

PAGE 1: should be the Homepage there should be buttons for contacting us which should lead them to a contact form. There should also be 'share' buttons for Facebook, Twitter and Digg. There should be space for our phone number to be prominently displayed. Each tab will of course have a different heading so the template should be able to be used across the board.

PAGE 2: Will be the Gallery Page. They should be divided up by country. The photos should be large thumbnails and have a slideshow option. Of course we will not upload them all now. There should also be space for a caption. We do not want a photo as they background for this page because it will clutter the page. Again 'share' buttons should be present.

http://www.statravel.com - we like the photo background, sleekness and navigability
http://www.humanitour.com/ we do not like this website. The color layout is bad and it looks amateur. Feel free to use this as a reference as what not to do.
