261311 basic clone of travel site

I have an existing travel website and brand but it does not get enough visitors. The theme of the website is "backpacking in Europe" (can provide URL later). I want to simply what my site offers to people and so I need a basic functionality clone of this site: www.hostelworld. com, which is primarily a booking site. While I want the same functionality, I don't need an exact design copy - similar yes but not a copy.

Requirements:

1) new logo based on my current brand name

2) front page - main focus is user can search for hostel/hotel properties, so reference site is good with search box in prominent position (I will provide code for all search boxes)...I need the front page designed nicely with space for this search functionality. Of course some other things should be on home page (pictures, top 10, links to inner pages, etc and we can work through this).

3) secondary page 1 - same kind of thing as front page but search is for tours/activities on offer (I will provide search coding, just need design and space for search functionality, should be very similar to front page but maybe a different color or something to set it apart)

4) secondary page 2 - this page is to showcase railpasses and tickets on offer, again I will provide most search/ad coding just need a good design foundation for the page.

User access to these 3 pages can be provided by tabbing or by some prominent buttons (reference page has big blue circular buttons at top to do this, which is done well)

5) podcast page - I will be making audio podcasts to market the website and these podcasts need to displayed on another page linked from the home page. I would need easy upload functionality to get my podcasts posted to this page and also the user needs to be able to listen directly on this page so there would be the play/stop/time functionality as seen here: http://www.hostelworld. com/podcasts/index.php. Also I need a link where user can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes as I will publish the podcasts there (dont need help with that). Maybe we can do this page with Wordpress if you recommend that.

So that is basically it: a simple website offering booking search functionality on three pages (hostels, tours, trains) and a separate page to list the podcasts. Again, search functionality comes from affiliate programs and I can just pop that into the page you design with your help.

Site design should be tight, clean, and professional. Nothing fancy, just simple and effective for users to book what they need for their trip and to listen to the podcasts.

Thanks, questions welcome.
