Web Design Brief

We need a web page design for a new homeware and accessories store based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Our store carries modern African inspired items from designers that support social development and poverty alleviation initiatives. We have a particular preference for outfits that are centred on the empowerment of women.

Our business celebrates the skill, design and product of African craft and the work of designers looking to take that forward in a socially beneficial way (creating employment, developing skills, supporting local crafts people etc). We aim to carry items and inspirations from all over the African continent.

We would like to see a design that communicates African beauty and elegance without the typical tribal references that are made in reference to African craft or art.

We would like the web page to be stylish, uncomplicated, modern, captivating and appealing to the discerning customer. A similar value proposition is that of http://www.pfeiferstudio.com/.

This is an e-commerce website which must be attractive to both individual buyers and design professionals so the website needs to look professional.

Here are links to some websites we like:
http://www.ballarddesigns.com/
http://www.cwonder.com/

Our logo is attached to the brief.
