Askaprice.com's goal is to provide the UK car buying market with the most authoritative and independent source of automotive information, making us the premier one-stop-shop for car buyers.

Beneath Askaprice.com lies a very effective B2B lead generation business model. Askaprice.com generates enquiries for new or leased cars from prospective buyers within the purchasing cycle, and in turn sells these enquiries as 'leads' to our network of car dealerships.

We now seek a talented designer who can transform the identity Corporate section into a professional, upbeat and stylish B2B design that speaks volumes about our industry expertise.

The current Corporate section can be found at:

http://www.askaprice.com/corporate/

We are seeking two designs, one for the homepage, and one for a generic 'informational page':

Homepage

This will highlight our two major services, Lead Generation and Lead Management, along with a less prominent link to 'Advertising Services'.

Informational Page

This will be quite content heavy, so we need a design that offers white space without compromising functionality.

We have identified a few designs/layouts that we particularly like:

We also have a wireframe (text only) of the structure of the proposed website here, where you can get a feel of the main elements and important messages:

Elevator Pitch
The Askaprice Corporate Section gives our partners a gateway to all our products and services, in one, easy-to-use location. By consolidating these services into a central location, it will help our customers to identify the most effective strategies to complement their existing marketing activities, increase brand awareness and maximise their return on investment.

The construction of a new Corporate Section will enable us to simplify the process of managing, informing and cross-selling, and communicating with our B2B clients, in one central area.
