Hi Martin, Thank you for the helpful response. What you told was right, but I thought it won't be that much of a problem since the issue page has also attached a couple of screen shots of how the site might look like and i thought what was asked was to design a web page by getting some idea from the attached screen shots. But is it a completely new design that is expected actually? or will taking an idea from the given screen shots would do the required task?
