Web Design - Media/News Site

We're a B-2-B media company looking to redesign our 7 brand sites. All will have the same look with a differently color scheme and logo. The logos have already been designed and the color scheme should include, but not be limited to the main color for each brand. Before we contract for the entire project we'd like to make sure that the designs presented are in line with our expectations. So, this posting is just for the creation of an article page and navigation design. Please provide us with a link to your portfolio and/or any sites you've designed that are live now. We're looking for at least 5 examples of work you have done in the past. Web designers with portfolios that have specific examples of designs for media/news sites are preferred. We expect the designs to follow UX/UI best practices and the designer to have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and web principles, so that their finished designs can be implemented easily. Once hired, we'll provide specific requirements on what needs to be included on the page.
