Website Design For 100cats.us: Sharing Stories Of Online Dating Woes

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

100cats.us: This female based-audience Website centers its content on online dating, seeking to become the handbook for humor and hope. Somewhat gossip-style, it will offer interactive blog for sharing stories from online dating (CatChat!) as well as feature merchandise, newsletter and local "CatsClubs". Very light in attitude.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need:

- landing page whose main feature is a blog (using wordpress MU) featuring tabbed layout similar to skinnytinis.com for the following: About us; Contact us; Find us; Share us; Join us and the link tab for the blog (CatChat), Shop us. Should also have a well designed poll feature and some sort of area that features latest post from the CatChat blog which is on an internal page. Now, what we are thinking of is a stylized use of the "us" in the tabs that feature that word ... a la "About us" The reason is to sort of reflect that the URL is 100cats.us (while the 'us' refers to a United States Web site in theory, we want it to be viewed as "us", like in you and me, etc.

- blog page (using wordpress MU) linked to from the front (CatChat)

- shop page (featuring 5 items (tank top, short sleeve tee, long sleeve tee, visor and tote bag)

- join now page (sign up for newsletter and the social forums)

- template page for other tab items such as about us, contact us, etc.

Logos:

- need a 100cats logo that could be used on merchandise and as well to serve as the anchor for the landing page. Could be as simple as using stylized font and the current image that is featured on 100cats.us. "100" on one side of the image, "cats" on the opposite side of the image. Just an idea so you have something to work from and with.
