The primary goal of this contest is to design the look and feel of the TopCoder purchase page. It has to be simple and eye catchy in certain areas you’ll see below. The idea is to make users understand what TopCoder sells and how to buy.

Branding and Guidelines
- Use template.psd as baseline for your work.
- We want to keep the same sharp and shiny look of the current TopCoder website. Let’s stick with that style.
- We are open to colors suggestions.
-. Make good use of fonts. Play with a good combination of web-safe fonts. Beware of declaring your fonts according to the Studio font’s policies.
- Show hover effects for all buttons and UI elements that you create (buttons, hyperlinks, etc).
- Your design must fit 1024 pixels wide screen resolution. Notice you can increase or reduce the page height at will.

Storyboard Design Requirements
- See mockup_1.png and mockup_2.png from the attachments for layout guidance. You'll deliver two screens minimum on this contest.
- From mockup 1, eyes should be drawn to the main top packages, design a really attractive area here. They should look real nice and TopCoder related, maybe the rectangles can be brackets? We are open to suggestions.
- There is a call to action button below the packages “Compare Packages”. When user clicks on it a table is expanded below (mockup_2.png). Design this area with this comparison table and “Talk with Sales” on one side. This table shows features and availability (check marks or anything else you design). Also, when the user hovers on any feature text it displays a small overlay with information about that feature; design this overlay. Content for this table is in features.docx.
