Web Design Brief

The design is for eCommerce home page but I would like it to complement this site: http://www.itoncallsolutions.com/ but... it should also have independence as a standalone site.

The best design will be able to effectively mix corporate with a high quality small business consumer feel. It should be completely custom design, not a template look or feel. I want the users to get the feeling that this is the place to go for buying tech for business. We sell the same products as CDW.

You can be creative as you wish, as long as the elements of a great eCommerce site are present.

I would like your 'design' to blow these away:

UPDATE 07/11/2013:

Please look at the category sample png files. I see already many people are using the main menu from itoncallsolutions.com and I do not mind your creativiety, but this is an eCommerce store and people need a menu to get to the categories and/or product types. I don't want to limit anyone creativity by the png samples. I'm also not using them to show I like them in any particular way or form, just that it's needed, whether it's a button (dropdown of course) that says 'Categories' or 'Products, whether it an accordion, horizontal or vertical.

Thanks

UPDATE 07/12/2013:

Please find other use of space that has been used for About Us paragraph (if you've added it to the page). About Us should have it's own page and the purpose of the design should be to sell products (and some services as products). Please put a link or some other creative method to lead users to the About Us page.

Please put a link or some other creative method to lead users to the About Us page if you must but not on the real estate of the page.

The voting is in and the project is complete.  Thanks everyone for joining, all of those who participated are truly amazingly talented. But, there were only 3 prizes.  I will be having further projects down the line to develop other pages to this site after the initial implementation is completed.  I truly would like to have you all back.
