Wordpress Design Brief
Our are starting a new technology services company. We will provide services in software implementation and business intelligence.
We need a beautiful Wordpress web site design. We need a design for the homepage, and one interior content page.
The site must have a very professional and polished look and feel. What I have suggested below are things that I think work, but I am not a designer and I am open to your professional opinions. Please be willing to use your best judgment.
The homepage should have the following elements:
- A Header Area that includes:
o The company logo, and
o navigation (consistent with the interior page)
o a social media link section that includes rss feeds, youtube, facebook, linkedin and tweets
- A Body that includes:
o A slider
o An area that features up to six of the most recent or important posts including a thumbnail and small picture, a title, and a short excerpt for each.
o An area for around 100 words of text and an image
- A footer that includes:
o The company logo
o Contact information
The interior page is relatively simple. It should include the same navigation element as the homepage, and accommodate a one column text layout.
The current site …
You can visit the current site at www.jtadamsidea.com I built the current site using the “Crumina One Touch” premium theme. If you visit this site you get a sense of some of the things I am talking about, but there are things that I do not like about the current site. Here’s what I like and what I don’t like.
What I like about the current site:
- It is reactive – it adapts to the size of the viewing browser
- It has a “metro” feel to it. The company will have an association with Microsoft and having a “metro” theme is a plus, but not a requirement.
- It is different without being hard to navigate – the site the slider is from the “slider revolution widget”, the posts are represented with tiles and rearrange themselves when a topic is selected.
What I don’t like:
- The site lacks a cohesive feel – it feels to me like a bunch of different elements without a single theme that pulls everything together.
- It is not aesthetically appealing to me.
- The tiles in the post section are too big.
- I don’t like the white background – I would prefer a background color and ideally a background that somehow incorporates the graphic in the logo.
About themes
As I said, I used a Crumina theme in my design. I will be happy to continue using this theme, or would be willing to buy a new premium theme, so long as the cost is less than $100 U.S.

Regarding Pictures
Please do not feel you need to use any of the pictures currently on the site. Use whatever pictures you feel look best. Comps are okay.

It is not necessary to use any of the
content on the current site - you do not need to use either the pictures
or the text. Please feel free to use pictures of your choice (comps
okay), and/or lorem text.
The top level navigation is the navigation I would like.

Hello all,
Since this is a Wordpress project, it goes without saying I will need to implement this design in Wordpress. It is not absolutely necessary that a design that matches an existing template (free or not), but a design that does will have an advantage over a design which requires that a new template be coded from scratch.
Thank you.
