Great, so based on the criteria in the post by serejandmyself below, there is a bounty of 6 shares (plus up to two 3-share consolation bounties) for designs/mockups submitted by 22nd October 2014 1200 UTC.
If no designs have been submitted by this date, or no designs satisfy all the judges, we'll increase the shares awarded and set a new deadline until this task is completed. The length of time judges need should be about a week to come to a decision after this date.
This bounty is for a design or mockup only, and the winner will have exclusive rights to work on the actual website using their design for one month, before it opens up to everyone using the same winning design. The 6 shares award is for the rights for the devcoin community to use that design in an updated devcoin.org.
The site itself merits a bounty of 24 shares, split between designers/developers as they see fit. The designer doesn't have to be able to code the site up themselves, just make it look good, and fit the criteria below. If the designer opts not to create the website itself, they can waive their right to exclusivity and we'll open it up to anyone using that design. I'm sure there are developers willing to aid in the task of wiring it all together lurking around, either way.
Submissions are welcome either as links to images or mockup sites with trash data. I would say at least two pages should be included for the design.
Any objections or something that should be changed or clarified?
Ok so here is the list considering all judges opinion :
Criteria list for the new DVC website :
The website must,1) Be modern and progressive
2) Have cutting edge graphics and functions
3) Should be interactive and user friendly as much as possible
4) Be easy to read and be understandable to anyone (layout included)
5) Load quickly enough
6) State DVC mission, include FAQ about the basics of DVC, explain its purpose and history
7) Consider DVC’s logo and colors in its design
8 ) Make it easy to understand links to various aspects of DVC (i.e. bounties, Devtome, forums etc.)
9) Not be heavy on the eye and be designed with lay in mind due to the fact that some participants (investors and such) might not be overly technical.
