Web Design Brief

Looking for a new site theme that uses tiles like Huffingtonpost.com but with a unique style. Topbar categories should include following in any particular order w/ pop-out at touch w/ sub-categories (examples below): The main categories for display have an >> prefix . Note main catgories and sub-categories may change.

SPECIAL NOTE: Regional site. We need a way to navigate/drill-down to specific regions on the Central Coast (see the cities accross the top on the current site design)

PORTAL SITE: This site will have a back-end w/ my account and therefore may use a Bootstrap template on the back-end for managing Tiles and articles. Tiles would be the organic content/advertisements on the home page that link to the sub-pages.

TOP BAR CATEGORIES - click to open pop-up w/ sub-categories (some examples in Dining and Real Estate below)

Requirements

Must have

• My account (maybe a black bar w/ CC logo accross top w/ My Account, Settings, Login etc)
• Conversion of existing organic content and advertisements to new Tiles platform.

Nice to have

• Kind of a Hybrid between Bing.com and HuffingPost.com
• PORTAL THOUGHTS
• If everything were to be thought of as a tile to preview in a 3 column wide format w/ variable heights you can fit articles and sound content mixed in with advertorials.
• Every square tile on CentralCoast.com could be encapsulated into a “Tile”. The Tile is the preview of the landing page, article, or page.
• Every article, business listings, google map page, etc. can have a Tile associated with it. OR you create a Tile and link it to a URL/page.
• So Tiles become mini snippets of custom HTML that can have 1 or more links etc… Just an HTML Snippet.
• Tile/HTML Snippet
• PreviewTiles.aspx
• Shows all tiles sortable like a product catalog, etc. Additional columns for publishing the tile and where it should reside on the Front Page?
• NEW THEME
• Removal of the traditional CC sidebar and incorporating the triple tile site design. We can still have Edgewater or a major display as first thing you see above top-bar. The categories can be incorporated into a simple top-bar that on-click you pop-down all subcategories and anything featured. This supports tablets and handhelds instead of the traditional mouse-over...
• Comp Layout (see huffingtonpost.com)
• 3 columns to 1 column style?
• How to handle mobile devices? (Tiles technique supports Yahoo news mobile app - 3 columns PC/Mac browser - 1 column Mobile Phone
• Tile & Page MGT
• How do we convert the existing content pages to our new Tile/Page technique?
• How do we handle advertising Tiles and Tiles embedded on pages?
• Pages
• How is a page handled?
• How are Tiles managed and is that a Page or not?
• How are listings handled and are they defined as a Page?
