The selected designer must provide a fully functioning design within Wix.
Providing for large and small events for customers visiting Berlin, Germany
Please look at the present webpage:
Holiday-Event-Management-Berlin.com
Conditions
After completion of the winning design an agreed period will be given for the designer to complete the work. A further period will be allowed for testing on all mobile devices, browsers etc.. After satisfactory completion of work payment will be released.
Functionality Requirements
The designer of a website must ensure that the new design works properly and that its appearance is error-free and functional on any platform used to view it. Photos need to be flexible and adapt to different devices, and at the same time, it is crucial that they don’t slow down page loading in the process. Plus, keep in mind is the design must be able to reflow cleanly for lower-resolution devices (Down to 320px wide), quick page loading, such that mobile users retain full functionality.
Design feeling:
slightly modern (like the photos on the present website) but requires a touch of nostalgic, giving the user a feeling of Berlin's famous past history (the golden 20's – maybe it's dark history)
Looking for a design that leaves the user with a very uncomplicated – to the point – website. I am open for a different ideas but prefer to take the following into consideration:
Points to consider:
The main focus event management but also giving a feeling of Berlin, photos etc.. with a slight nostalgic. Please read below (Design atmosphere )
Prefer not too many dark background colours
The website gives a happy, warm feeling about Berlin
The text snippets being used on the present homepage could also be considered. These snippets give the user straight quick to the point information (please see 001_simple_snippets_info).
Design atmosphere
The new design could include the present pictures (designer choice), plus something in the design reflecting Berlin's past, giving a nostalgic, slightly romantic feeling. Maybe adding some pictures from the golden 20,s (people partying, dancing) bringing out feeling of this period or even cutting/snippets of old nostalgic pictures. The user should get a feeling of a modern and historical - old Berlin together, drawing them into a new city with a fascinating history.
I can provide the present photos seen on Holiday-Event-Management-Berlin.com, plus possibly later some of its past like the swinging 20's period.
Please note that the above mentioned should not be too exaggerated and is only an indication so the designer gets a feeling in what direction I find appealing. The main point should be the event management with a touch of this atmosphere.
New requirements = new pages
The present website has 4 pages. In addition there should be:
New page - History: A page which will cover history, to which some photos would be added.
New page - Conditions: This is simply a page stating the conditions for events, payment, insurance etc.
New page - Locations (for events): A page showing information of locations where events can take place. This should have pictures and descriptions of event locations, with specific search filter like e.g.:
Number of people, Type of event, Facilities, etc.
A zoom on each picture.
Despite all the points mentioned above the website should not be too overloaded with details and information. Open to your ideas.

Please note that these websites do go too far in the retro/nostalgic design direction. Preferred would be a mix of the present design look but with a touch of retro shown below. Missing in is a touch of nostalgia.
