BakuganBuzz.com - Japanese Anime Design

BakuganBuzz.com

BakuganBuzz.com is a hub site in the Bakugan niche. We have over 100K forum posts to date & growing every day. We're looking to expand into the market by providing additional features to our site.

Bakugan is largely targeted to young males (roughly 65%). The majority of them are under the age of 13, but also there is a good following for the male population of 20's & 30's. This doesn't exclude females, they do exist, but are just a smaller portion of the market.

I'm looking to update our current website: http://www.bakuganbuzz.com/. You'll notice that the site is currently a blog, with some added features such as our forum. We're looking for an updated design to include more features & make the site easier for users to navigate. In addition we're going to be building out the store to be a more central piece of the site.

Here is the main navigation that I would like to include in the site:

Home
Bakugan Store
Character Profiles
Watch TV Show
Battle Brawls
Brawlers Forum
Blog
Marketplace
Chat Room

In addition you'll notice that we have a number of links on the left column of our site, I would like to have these stay as a side navigation, so existing visitors can still find these sections.

The home page design will need to include a mixture of the store, blog, ect. More or less, we're looking to see a rough design that you'll be able to come up with.

In addition to this contest we will be hiring the winner to design the additional needed pages in the site for $250.
