I am launching a new company shortly. A information security company called Cybercops. The company will be offering products as well as consulting services and the website is the main way to spread the word. In addition to this there will need to be an area for customers to login and view their accounts, recent invoices, an area for work done for them to be available for download as well as promotional areas for whitepapers etc.
The front page is obviously the most important. Sections for news, new product and service information, the ability to subscribe to the newsletter and so on.
The site must be quick and very clean looking. The graphics must be sharpe and crisp and professional. The design and the layout (to a degree) will be left in your hands although initially I would want several ideas to be presented to me. Logo design would also need to be considered and sent to me seperatly. I can give you a few ideas of sites I like the design of.
Most important is that I can add new items to pages quickly and easily. News, products, services etc.
