Kjetil needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.

Masterix Media is a small company which outsource programming and design tasks. Masterix Media owns and market the comparison site comparisonpot.com which is still in the start up.
This site includes categories like insurance,loans,travel etc. so everybody can use it basically. However people come to the site to save money, so a "luxury" feel is not the way to go.
I want an simple layout without to much information and clutter. A site that can be compared is http://www.lowermybills.com. Its alomst no scrolling on each page which i like and there is very simple layout on each page. In terms of design i want white backround site and the design feel i want to go for fresh, clean and simple. My referral sites uses a lot of good looking icons which i want. The also have some illustrations/drawaings to explain things and how to use the site which i would also like if possible.
