Challenge Summary

Welcome to TopCoder University Help Page Update Contest.
We are building TopCoder University website upon wordpress. TopCoder University will be used as a one-stop-shop training portal for new clients onboarding with TopCoder. It will hold training videos, step-by-step walkthroughs, interactive diagrams/pages and searchable FAQs. Clients will be able to sign up for training workshops and other live group training from here as well.

At the end of this contest, we are looking for a single page design update for the Help Page. Please read the design requirements below.

Round 1

Submission design for client review:
- The Help Page updated design with all the 9 icons.

Round 2

Primary Goal:
The goal of this contest is to update the design on Help Page for the TC University Site. You will be using the screenshot provided as reference of something we want for the Help Page. You also need to design 9 icons for each FAQ categories as listed in the design requirement below.

Design Requirement:
- Update the design page for the Help Page. See 08 ~ Help.png. We need you to change the FAQ area into something similar like the FAQ-Screenshot.jpeg. Use the source file provided to find the Help Page and put your design on this page.
- Instead of listing out the articles like we currently do, we'd really like to group the FAQs by category and have clickable links to each article under the category. With a max of around 4 hyperlinks and a link for "more" topics in that category.
- There will be 9 categories under the Recent FAQ's:
1. Copilots
2. Forums
3. Reporting
4. Competitions
5. Invoicing
6. Permissions
7. Navigation
8. Project Management
9. FAQ’s
- For the hyperlinks under each category, you may use dummy text for now. Please make sure everything is designed properly. For example, if the hyperlinks contain long texts, please make sure you include three periods (...) like something the in screenshot. And also the "more" links.
- We need you to design 9 icons for each category. The icon size will be 50px X 50px each.
- The icons need to be clean, professional and easy to understand.
- You are free to use any colors you think best for the icons, but please make sure it compliments the whole color theme of the storyboard.

Branding Guidelines:
Follow the provided TCU Site Source file.

Target Audience:
- TC members, admin, PM, copilot.
