Jantiques.com - An exclusive antique collection & shop. Looking for designers with great detail.

Jantiques.com

Our family collects antiques (radios, clocks, and cameras). We are looking for a website design so that we can list and sell these antiques.

We can't find any site design that does what we have in mind, but structurally we may want to follow something like: http://robertmaron.com/home.php

We want the design to be creative, original, and detailed, just like our antiques are.

We are looking for a home page design only.

Our business is in collecting and selling antiques (clocks, radios, and cameras). We want to position ourselves to be #1 online in selling exclusive and rare antiques.

Our family owns the rarest antique collection, and we want the site design to show that.

We have two logos that we've chosen from a previous contest. It is upto YOU to choose which logo you want to use for the site design. Choose the one that your style works best with. These are attached as logo1.zip and logo2.zip. I personally like Logo1.zip better (bottom of the 3 variants), but upto you if you want to use a different variant in Logo1 or if you want to use Logo2 instead.

As far as site design, make it look classic, exclusive, and very detailed. We want the site design to look like the antiques that we sell. So similar colors, details, etc. Here is how our antiques look like: http://www.google.com/images?um=1&h…1&aql=&oq=

Basically just do a search for "antique seth thomas clocks" in Google images to see what these antiques look like. They have a great level of detail and we want the site design to be just like this.

Here's what we need as far as layout goes:

1. We need a list of categories, preferably on left hand side.
2. We need a search box somewhere clearly on the page, so people can search our large collection.
3. Front page should have either featured or recently added antiques with thumbnails.
4. I'm unsure what to do for the main content area. We can either have listings, or some 1 great featured antique, or perhaps some beautiful design/illustration/graphic of antiques. I'll leave this up to the designer.

Let's deliver the best design on 99designs! Good luck!
