Challenge
For this contest, you will be helping Long & Foster visualize their concept of their Insurance Town. This will be an interactive page on their website that will graphically depict a town with various items that can be insured by Long & Foster. Hovering and clicking on certain items will give the user more details about how Long & Foster can help them. The town should encourage user participation.
Goals
Based on the requirements provided, you will need to wireframe all required aspects of Insurance Town. We are looking for you to meet the requirements stated and evaluate the flow and overall user experience. You are encouraged to add anything that you feel will enhance the overall excitement without sacrificing usability.
Your wireframes need to include not only the interactions within Insurance Town, but how Insurance Town will be integrated within the Long & Foster website. You will be building off of the Concept Storyboard designs that have already been completed to produce wireframes for the fully-integrated website.
Requirements
The requirements document and concept storyboards are available for download.
Target Audience
This site will be used as both a sales and marketing tool to both potential and current client base and will set an example to agencies and carriers alike in the industry.

Wireframe Requirements
Wireframes can be built in HTML, Axure (listed above), MS Visio or OmniGraffle. The resulting files are not critical in this contest. The most important point is that all the content is listed and the pages are linked together to show page flow.
Pages must be linked together as a clickable resource.
Judging Criteria
Your submission will be judged on the following criteria:
- How well your wireframes provide a consistent user flow
- How well you implement the required data and any suggestions, interactions and user flow you recommend (provide any notes or comments for the client)
Contest Deliverables
Round One
First draft all wireframes for client feedback. This first draft must be complete enough for the client to fully evaluate the entire page flow for each section. Incomplete wireframes will not be eligible for any Round One prizes.
Round Two
Final completed Wireframes
The client may add additional requirements based on Round 1 results and decisions made between now and the start of Round 2.
You must submit all requested deliverables to be considered for prizes - you may submit more if necessary to explain your solution.
