I want a design for a software company specialized in web programming.
I can pay extra for the XHTML coding, we'll see that in the end.
During the contest, I will try to direct you on the right path and I won't waste your time.
I will also provide constructive feedback.
I will pay on time preferably by paypal.
Please use Istockphoto for the images. If you need high resolution images during the contest, let me know and I'll buy them so you can show me a better preview.
In the first part, just show me the home page, I will request from you in particular to design the other pages. All pages you create for me (home & subpages) must contain sample texts and examples as I am going to use that as a template so this is very important.
Design requirements
This has to be unique, high quality and look professional.
1. I like the designs that 'teleport' you to a different location, that will capture your attention with their images and graphics, something to interact with you. What I try to say is that I don't want a simple block of lines, I want a background image to be visible the whole width of the site. It's not necessary to be the background, nor the header, nor the footer, this is your decision, you are the artist.
Examples for the above requirement:

http://tehacesequence.deviantart.co…0-80928258
http://tehacesequence.deviantart.co…5-74580316
http://tehacesequence.deviantart.co…1-81219302
http://tehacesequence.deviantart.co…O-96861736
2. The design must be in the center of the page and must be wide enough ( ~700 px in width). If you use a header/background that will cover the whole width, make sure you think of it to cover most of the popular screen resolutions today. This is not necessary, but you should find a fix for this.
3. Basically, I want this: http://tehacesequence.deviantart.co…1-81219302 but unique and for me.
4. As in #3, you must use Icons and small & effective graphics. You have to pay attention to detail, everything must fit and must be perfect. You should also use a semi transparent box ( like in #3 where is says 87% ...) for each page. I don't need a search field.
5. In the portfolio, I might want to write details about each project. Find a smart and interactive way for me to do that.
6. You might also use a source code background in small areas (not necessary). Again, attention to detail.
7. The main color could be that blue, but black is also fine. Might consider black if you find this style nice, like I do:

As you can see, I like sky scrapers in the dark, I find these images brilliant, especially http://cc-designs.deviantart.com/ar…-103586719 .
8. Header links must have a complex styling. These should be the buttons: Home, About Us, Custom services, Our Clients, Request Quote, Support
9. Make this design without a logo (or a small sample one), I will get one based on the design.
10. As in feeling's first entry, he had a brilliant idea: he used city lights in the header and sea in the footer.
Please feel free to use your imagination. Contact me if you have questions.
I don't want it to look look straight and simple.
