Channelflip.com Homepage Design

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a UK-based video production company specialising in online video. We've made cool shows like David Mitchell's SoapBox and The Dave Digests.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a new front page for our website. The one we have is terrible, and really doesn't show off what we do well - the header hides shows, the page is too long with lots of thumbnails and overly complicated. We need to take it back to basics.

We have a basic wireframe of a site at:

www.channelflip.com/v2test/

The basic elements are:

* Tagline bar across the top of the screen

* Logo

* 728x90 ad banner

* Carousel of 'posters' for our shows

* Large video player showcasing the latest video on ChannelFlip

* Text accompanying the video player

* 120x600 ad banner

* 300x250

* Footer with some standard blurb.

We would like this given a fresh graphical style, retaining some of the key colours but given a much more up to date twist in terms of layout and design.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our audience is both consumers (who watch our videos) and ad agencies (who work with us based on our perceived 'coolness'). As such it needs to be easy to use and flashy to look at.

WE LIKE THESE EXAMPLES:

We really like these sites:

www.seesaw.com

www.carsonified.com

www.acontinuouslean.com

www.futureofwebapps.com

www.esquire.co.uk

We also love this kind of graphical style from a previous Crowdspring project:

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THIS IN OUR PIECE:

The elements included above in the wireframe.
