Web Design Brief

I am building Location Based Social network which is basically a cityguide.
So people would see clearly on map location of places and for each place they can read and write reviews and perhaps add pictures.

Current working version can be browsed in
http://beta.cityguide.to/maps/english/United%20States/New%20York/10182

To see innerpages
login: testi / testi2

Mainly I need:
-first page, with improved category selection bar.

- Rating / review page for business
- settings page for user
+ general infopage for TOS etc.

Info Icon
Updates

Please submit also subpages. Users "home" page and company review page. Review page is the most important one after first page.
Example of review page: http://beta.cityguide.to/rating/index/7912

Remember that you need to submit 4 designs in this competition.

Requirements
Must have
  • I need four pages in this design contest:
    1) First page
    -First page must display cityname and categories which are selected to be viewed.
    -Language selection, possibility to choose another country/city and search.
    -category selection
    2) Company information page
    -needs: opening hours
    -which language they can server customers
    -short company presentation
    -keyword
    -brands which are represented
    3) Users home page when he logs in
    -link to edit own information
    -link to follow people / companies
    -list of places added / comments leaved
    4) general page for TOS etc.

    simplicity is a great plus. I like current layout a lot, mainly because only few colours are used and main focus is in map. All functions needed are in one place and rating was placed in bottom of screen so top5 can be increased if needed.



    Logo that fits layout and something I could use in prints etc.

    When users first comes to page he will instantly get the wow factor + idea of website.

    Call to action style functionality.
Nice to have
  • I like the current layout where browsing is done from right and rest of the space is reserved for map.

    Information that user has logged in.
    Top ratings for selected categories

    Typical elements of social networks, sharing and feedback etc.
Should not have
  • I have tried layouts where there are lots of stuff in everyside of the map.

    Earlier examples, don't make site look like this:
    http://1.cityguide.to
    http://2.cityguide.to

    Map will get lost in the layout, and this is not what I want.
