Muv-Luv
Description of the organization and its target audience
We're releasing a Japanese Visual Novel series called Muv-Luv. We recently ran a very successful Kickstarter campaign for this (https://www.kickstarter.com/project…vel-series) and would like to create a website that will serve as the community/hub for all of the Muv-Luv English related stuff.

Games & Recreational
Existing website
Visual style
Style/theme ideas
Japanese style (see examples) but for an English site. Clean/Simple navigation and clever presentation of information (info on mechas, characters etc.). First release will be Muv-Luv Extra/Unlimited which is more of a slice of life/high school type VN.
Inspirational websites

Muv-Luv Japanese site. Nice eye catching design and video stuff behind main banner is cool.

Neat navigational structure

Good way of presenting lots of information.
Content details
Page descriptions
Looking to start with a really awesome homepage design. It should have a main feature area where we can display our latest offering and easy navigation to our forums and other online presences.
Would also like an area where you can scroll through and get different information on the mechas and another area where you can scroll through and get information on the different characters.
We are trying to keep up with Japanese website designs, try to refer as closely to the PSVita website.
Sections -
0. Top most section with switching background
- Please refer to the psvita website. http://5pb.jp/games/muvluv/psv/
- this also needs a small news section at the bottom of it.
1. Story
- Please add story/summary with screenshots right before the character selection just like in the psvita website.

2. Character/Mecha
- Just like how the Total Eclipse website character selection is http://5pb.jp/games/muvluv/te/character.php#02
3. Goods
- Just like in the psvita website
Lastly, code-wise we should be able to keep adding content to the bottom of the page.
What to avoid
Please don't go with the pink text color, use white text with subtle red or blue text shadow just like in the PS Vita website instead http://5pb.jp/games/muvluv/psv/ (or just plain white for standard font).
