Fun, Simple, Intelligent, 'Beach Themed' Website Design Needed For Software As A Service Vendor

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Navigation: http://www.seymourpowell.com/

Intro Page: http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/tinshed/... Maybe our site opens up with a sea of cubicles and an office door named Vartopia takes them into a beach scene - where the rest of our site lives.

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

Must have:

-- Design is beach-centric. Design is either a natural extension of the logo - or give us a new logo that matches your beach theme. Be creative!

-- The design must convey simple, intelligent, fun, and ultimately relaxing at the beach.

Don't want to see:

-- Corporate stiffness. Boring 'just another corporate website' won't work for us.

-- Don't move away from beach theme.
