I need a new Web site for my Learning Consultancy which is based in the U.K. but also works globally.
Catch phrase 'Encouraging empowered contribution'.
Facilitating practical tools and effective communication, organization, problem solving, team/net working and life skills for leaders of today and tomorrow.
I need a website that can be updated easily with ongoing technical support when needed. It needs to have the ability to have a blog, the ability to pay online for courses, books, consultation fees etc.

Requirements
Must have
- A professional but open and welcoming front page, which is bright and positive. The theme is for self improvement and team/family/community improvement, so images and colors that represent growth, learning, sharing, cooperation, building, uniting and evolving for example would be important.
- The site needs to be very easy & logical to use. People will come to it to read about the products/courses we offer, want to see outlines and reviews and then look to find dates, locations and pricing for those products and courses.
- It needs to have a billing page that can easily process payments for booked courses/products online and be automated if possible for sending out receipts etc and allow me to keep accurate book keeping for taxes etc.
- A blog were we share tips, articles and links.
- I also need to be able to have links to affiliated pages.
- It needs to be a site that can be added to & updated easily.
- Use my company logo and colour themes.
- I need to have Facebook, twitter, etc LIKE buttons & links also.
- This website is one I like as an example: http://pepparent.org
Nice to have
- A chat feature
- Videos
Should not have
- No black front page. Should not look like every other site. It should not be 'cold' and impersonal but it must also not be frivolous or childlike. It should not be too busy or scant.
