The primary goal of this contest is to create HTML wireframes for a community website, a very large one that integrates social/profiles information with browser-based games.
We are looking for this to be a fun social network gaming website. There are “gaming features” we need to integrate to the existing solution, like leaderboards, challenges, contests, etc.
Please note, first read the contest details below carefully, understand what features you need to take from Requirements Specification document (RS), what features we want to omit, and what other features in addition.
General Requirements
- Produce HTML click through wireframes that can be used to demonstrate all mentioned functionalities as required in each round.
- The website must be very easy to use and intuitive. Keep that in mind when designing your solution.
- You MUST cover all use cases mentioned in contest details below.
- You MUST use wireframes note pane in every single page you design to explain what RS items are addressed in that page, what things you added/changed/removed, use it to make your idea clearer and help the client to give you constructive feedback.
Overall site concept
We envision this site as a global community with sub-sites focused on games, a nice mix of social features and heavy information delivery (Social network + gaming website). The website concept is about breaking it down into global website and sub-sites, we will have 5 unique games, and each game will have a dedicated sub-site with content specific to that game, the main/global website will work as an aggregator of the sub-sites and as a Social network community, that means the sub-sites will have the same layout and navigation of the global website with different theme/colors/styles but delivering content specific to the game.
Global website will have the global items like activity stream, member profiles, registration, etc, more details below. The sub-site will be specific to that sub-site, for example, news, leader board, game content, contests, tournaments, forums/discussions, blogging, tutorials, how-to play guides, shared solutions, etc. Global website will have the same specific items as in sub-site but will be more like an aggregator for the 5 sub-sites, which means there could be some differences in how content in page are displayed, for example, a sub-site may have a leader board page with a single leader board that is filtered according to tournament/contest, member, date, while in global site it will have more filtering options, i.e. filter based game type.
What is the purpose of having sub-sites? This is social network gaming website is going to be more like a Content Management System (CMS) Website, and each sub-site will have different admins/teams, we want to keep them focused on managing their own content on their website, launching contests/tournaments, starting discussions about their games, etc.
This contest only focuses on implementing the game-related features to the global site, the sub-sites will be addressed in future contests.
