3 Design
3.1 Logo
The current logo of Industrial Auctions is the starting point. (Http://www.industrial-auctions.com )
3.2 Appearance
The design of the site should reflect the professional and international character of the company.
This is an auction of industrial machinery and lots that go with it.
The design should be sleek, professional and clear.
The current site, including the grey elements in the header is a bit boring.
The new site must exude confidence and easy to navigate.
The amount of information on a page can be large (see http://www.industrial-auctions.com/auction/auction/categories.asp?did=43 and Annex 1).
This information must still be clear and manageable.
3.3 Example function
On the auction page additional graphics may added to the overall attractiveness. These graphics must be managed in the HTML editor of the web manager. It should be taken into account that the auctioneer is no designer, is best to work with one or several standard templates that can simply be adjusted.
