I've attached a photo of a rough draft of the site drawn out on paper. The position of the elements doesn't have to be where I've placed them, but it tends to look best in that order. It's called an "F" layout - people, when, browsing a website, tend to read left to right, top to bottom (looks like an F), so it's important to get the message out / bragging points out at the top of the layout because they will obviously read that first. This is the biggest aesthetic change to the layout. As for colors and what not I'm undecided.
At the top is a nivoSlider. I love nivoSliders (I have one on my own site near the bottom). It's pretty easy to link external buttons to the slider, which is the point of the buttons below the slider in the picture, although I might change that around to not use the buttons at all. Nivoslider works flawlessly in standards compliant browsers, however it doesn't exactly gracefully degrade in IE and so forth. I'll make a point to use IE conditional tags to hide the slider and change the layout to look more suitable for its poor rendering capabilities. I'm also suggesting to use wordpress as a content management system for the site - it's rather easy to install, easy to update, is FREE, and I there are a separate language plugins, like this one<http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xlanguage/>. I also have experience in designing wordpress sites so that's a big plus for me ;) Here's the image: [link]<http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/3003/freenetidea0001.jpg> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
