Wordpress Design Brief

21st Century Leading Teaching Learning is the tag line.

I am an education consultant in New York City. My company SmartStart School Solutions is described by the words 21st Century Leading Teaching Learning. I need a website to house resources that schools can access as well as selling resources. I want to post photos of teaching situations. I want to connect to Facebook, Twitter and a blog. I want drop down boxes.
I have just had my logo designed on Designcrowd.
Purpose of the website:
1. For teachers to build awareness of how to become more effective teachers
2. To support schools as they develop systems that improve schools
3. To want to have the ability to sell my knowledge and experience
Audience:
Educators
Teachers
Teacher teams
Leaders
Talent coaches
I have bought a domain and I have a business email.
I have just had a logo designed.
I will need an email address for the .eps file as I can't see how to attach to this message.
SmartStart School Solutions is a company that offers professional development and support to schools. Through an analysis of each school’s needs; a knowledge of the national Common Core Standards; an alignment to the NYC Citywide Instructional Expectations and Danielson’s Framework for Effective Teaching, action plans are developed to support the principal’s vision, CEP and PPR that will translate into improved performance and progress for all students.Quality Professional Development and resources that support each school's needs. The company provides professional development to Educational Networks, Districts, Principals, Administration Teams, teachers and parents.

Here are some of my other thoughts:
Build in ability to sell
Choose the font carefully
Layout - allow for the download of big pics and pdfs
I don't want viewers to sign in
I do want them to register if they buy something

8 pages - home; about SmartStart; services; resources; media gallery; Contact Smartstart
I will answer any questions and discuss this project with you as much as you need. Better to pretalk my options than change things once they are set up.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I wish to extend the project as I am currently sick and unable to give the designs the feedback that is necessary in the time I have left. I will be choosing a winner and going forward with the design I choose. Thank you.

I am sorry I have been silent regarding your designs but I am just recovering from being ill.

Thank you for your designs. Here is my general feedback;
What I like:
Designs that have used my logo colours across the top icon bar.
The page titles should be HOME; ABOUT US; SERVICES; PROGRAMS; GALLERY; TESTIMONIALS; BLOG; CONTACT US - I also like a QUICKLINKS on the page somewhere.
I would like 3 sections at the bottom - one for SCHOOL LEADERSHIP; TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS; TECHNOLOGY
What I didn't like:
I don't offer COURSES; FOUNDATION MANAGEMENT; MEDIA (Can this be combined with GALLERY); STARTING A SCHOOL; MANAGING A SCHOOL
I don't want viewers to be able to post photos
I don't like the photo all the way to the top of the screen.

Many thanks for making these changes - I do want a page that is more modern and not so plain.
Thank you
Pamela
