Contest Details
Hestia is always looking to give their customers a better user experience by providing new and up-to-date features in their B2B Web Application. For this contest we would like you to design concepts for the FOL users "Dashboard" within the right column of the Hestia Homepage.

Design Problem
- Hestia customers need to be able to quickly user their "site tools" when logging into the FOL application
- The current "tools" are not always obvious or stand-out to the Hestia customer
- We would like you to redesign/provide new design concepts for an ALL NEW DASHBOARD (placed in the right column) 
- The designs needs to be task orientated - a user needs to be able to login and find/use their tools quickly

Reference files: 
See attached files
1a-Dashboard-Wireframe.png
- This should be your "Base" design (current FOL look and feel)
- This screen show the Order status features
- This screen shows the design area for your Dashboard concept (right column)

1b-Dashboard-Wireframe.png
- This screen show the Quick Order features 

2-Dashboard-Navigation.jpg
- This screen shows the navigation including "Rewards" - Rewards needs to be in the navigation (look at the top level navigation you will see the word "rewards")

3-Original-Concept.jpg
- This screen shows a Dashboard concept (from previous contest plus the clients updates)
- We want ALL NEW design concepts - do not copy this
- This is to show you the tools plus previous design/idea

3-Whiteboard-Sketch.jpg
- This screen shows some quick client ideas on how to make some of the "action" items larger/bolder - easier for the customer to see

Dashboard Design Items
Note: These are listed in priority 
1). Find an Order or Quote

- We need a quick way to search for Order or Quote 
- We would like "action" items like "Find" and "Start" to be large and stand out to the user (see 4-Whiteboard-Sketch.jpg)

2). Start a Quick Order
refer to 1b-Dashboard-Wireframe.png
- Include a way for a user to do a Quick Order
- Quick Order inputs should not be more then 3 
- Remember to keep existing functionality like "Upload a Product Spreadsheet" and "Copy and Order/Quote"
- You can remove "Request a Special Order Product"

3). Loyalty Banner
- Need to update the Loyalty Points banner and create a smaller version
- Remove Terry/Spokesperson image
- Rewards needs to be in the header (navigation) (see 2-Dashboard-Navigation.jpg)
- We need to capture the 3 different action states of the Loyalty banner. Create separate screens to show different status.
NOTE: UPDATED/CORRECTED! (see attached PROPlus grahics)
1. First Time Customer: Show "PRO Plus Benefits" button + information
2. New Customer: Show "Activiate" Button + information
3. Activated Customer: Show "Redeem Points" button + information
- We already have the Loyalty Points design but need you to reconfigure update for your new Dashboard concept (Homepage.zip)

IMPORTANT 
- Review the wireframes - the "important" tools and information needs to stay above the page fold as much as possible - very important!
- All of the graphics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance. 
- You should always refer to the Hestia GUI Kit (Click this to download) so your design stays consistent with the existing Hestia B2B Design Theme.

Target User
- Potential Customer
- Current Customer

Judging Criteria
- How well you design a NEW dashboard concept and keep things consistent with the current site design.
- Cleanliness of your graphics and design
- Great User Experience
