Web design - focus on UI/UX

I have built a website using CodeIgniter + HTML5 + CSS + MySQL. A little bit of JQuery is also used in a very minimal way.

My client would like to have an improved version of the the UI and UX, with particular attention to the colour schemes.

I have included 1 screen for the purpose of information.

What I need

I would like to hire someone who can help me with the following:
1. Create a suitable design to make the site more appealing. No server-side code involved.
2. Make for a better UX by working on the colours and UI components.

What you must do

1. Pick any of the pages and show me your version of the page. I'm not interested in actual code at this point. The bid is for the design only. I provide you my current html + css pages.

2. The colours and shading/gradients must be easy to produce using CSS.

3. The page must be aesthetically suitable for scaling across Mobile and Large screens.

4. Give an explanation of why your page design is better than mine.

My work done so far
1. The entire site is hand-coded - no 3rd party components/plugins (except elementary use of JQuery)
2. The site is fully functional
3. The site is responsive - I have NOT used bootstrap or anything else.

Your bid

You are bidding to show your design of the page with improved colour, and UI/UX. If you think that components must be rearranged, please do so. I have no preference with the theme but I think a light theme would be ideal.

Preferences

Preference will be given to those in and around the Dehiwela area but this is not a requirement.

You may impress me with a prototype of the design in JPEG format.

Deliverable

If you are selected, you must give me the design for the two pages in html5 + CSS. I will provide the winning bidder with the current html page or a link to the online sample.

IMPORTANT

Note that this is a minor part of a large project. I'm looking at hiring someone on a continued basis.
