WNF Website Design

Word Naturopathic Federation

We are the world federation representing naturopathic organizations from around the world.

If you are not familiar with naturopathic medicine, I encourage you to check out http://www.ndhealthfacts.org.

http://www.worldnaturopathicfederation.org

It is important that the website reflect a world federation, not a provincial or state organization.

The website design should be classic and clean and highly professional without looking generic. Please stay away from anything that looks like it could be clipart, stock or free vector work. We recently had a logo designed through 99designs which is attached.

The website will have a lot of content (unlike the current basic website). It must balance the look of natural medicine and a very classic, large organization like ours. It must also be translatable into at least English, french and spanish.

the Homepage needs to be inviting and include an introduction of who we are. The page needs to make it easy for people to search through the site and find different information.

We also would like the home page to provide a "feature button" or something that will allow us to highlight a specific event or activity that is currently going on in the organization. The current "feature" would read "Sign up for the 2016 General Assembly to be held in Barcelona Spain July 1st - 3rd" -- with the ability for us to link to another page.

The "buttons" for the Home Page include:
About WNF: By-Laws, Mission of the WNF, Formation of the Federation, Committees
About Naturopathy: Naturopathic History, Naturopathic Principles
Membership: Full membership (Application form, List of members), Associate membership (Application form, List of members), Educational membership (Application form, List of members), Non-profit sponsor (Application form, List of members), Private sponsor (Application form, List of members), Corporate sponsor (Application form, List of members)
Research: Naturopathic Research Institutes, Naturopathic Journals
Resources: WNF Publications, Naturopathic Fundraising Organizations: Naturopathic Research Organizations, Naturopathic Peer-Reviewed Journals, Naturopathic Support Organizations
Events / Meetings
Projects: History and Definitions, Professional Mapping, Research Working Group
Contacts: Secretariat, Countries

The second page would provide an outline for the internal pages. We need a design that works when there is a lot of content and when there is a mixture of content and pictures.

I can't think of anything that we don't want included. If this changes, I will update this section.

The design must be geared to mature educated individuals. Our members are national organizations and our stakeholders are government, World Health Organization and other professional medical organizations.

The audience is primarily professionals, not consumers.
