Web Design Brief

Boats On Sale is in need of a makeover. It is feeling tired and needs a fresh new look and feel as well as being user friendly.

Boats On Sale is an industry owned marketplace website for the sale of recreational boats, marina berths, chandlery, water craft like kayaks - anything related to recreation on the water. The main focus however is boats - new and used. The site is only available to industry businesses so no private sales are available on the site.

This approach ensures that the buyers know that title is guaranteed to all boats sold and that the businesses are reputable and stand behind their products.

The current site address is www.boatsonsale.com.au

Target Market(s)

The target market are people interested in outdoor recreation - boaters, kayakers, sailors, paddle boarders, those looking for marina berths for their boat and those looking for service providers.

It should appeal to families, males and females, sports oriented people, fishermen, and those just looking for a relaxing, outdoor, healthy lifestyle.
