Creative brief

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a new Internet services and software development company that needs a corp site to advertise our products and services, and also to provide information about our team. On the Internet end we specializing in hosting VPS (virtual private servers), email hosting, web hosting, content distribution and network management - currently spread across several data centers in the US. We also provide operations management for people looking to maintain their own servers and network.

Our software development team focuses on custom projects for clients, many of whom end up hosting the finished product on our platform. Some of these projects include iPhone apps, custom blogs, content distribution systems, content management and social applications.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

Site should fit the mold of a standard Web 2.0 site, with About, Management Bios, Products, Services, FAQ , etc. (will explain more below). We have a complete graphic design proof sheet provided by another crowdspring dev which contains a color palette as well as our custom logo. We would like the logo ever present on the site, possibly used as a bullet point and definitely as a favicon.

Requirements:
* Site should use the color palette provided.
* Easy to understand and well organized navigation.
* Search box.

We estimate we will need 4 pages:
* Homepage
* Bio/About us page with photos
* Case studies example page with large graphic


We would like to use either the Horizontal Gloss or Flat logo as the main site logo. Use whichever one you think will create a better overall site design.
* Contact Us page

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Businesses looking to have custom Internet applications developed for them.

Complete digital strategy for their brands.

Facebook & Twitter integration for their product(s)

Design and Implementation for new and existing networks, servers or security.

Hosting applications, cloud computing.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Adobe.com - layout, use of color
Peer1.com - nav, overall look
vps.net - nav, overall look, original art is cool
vmware.com - clean, functional


WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

Let your imagination run wild!
