Coded site design required for Debt Management Company Website. Design should be professional but non-intimidating, informal and friendly. As it is such a grim subject for the debtors themselves the design needs to giv e them a bit of a lift. Client has suggested pictures of happy attractive women (and men too if we have to!)

Site address http://www.debtsolutionssouthwest.co.uk

Client has given an example of a site that he thinks works well as
http://www.spectrum-financial-services.co.uk/default/index.htm however I think you guys can produce a lot better a design than this:)

Another site he has pointed me to is http://www.idealcs.co.uk/

The home page needs to have an enquiry form on. Basically this form will have the exact same fields as the one on the home page of http://www.spectrum-financial-services.co.uk/default/index.htm

This enquiry form will also be on the contact page.

The logo for the company is here

http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/logo.jpg

The colours from the logo can be incorporated into the site design.

A consistent navigation menu should be used throughout the site.

I would like to include in the header the following

"Call our experts free on 0800 970 7724"

You can see an example of this here
http://www.debtadvisorycentre.co.uk/debt-management/
http://www.debthelp.co.uk/

The main sections of the site are as follows: I have included links to the copy for each section.

Home http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/1HomePage.doc
About http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/2AboutUs.doc
Individuals http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/3Individuals.doc
Companies http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/4Companies.doc
FAQ http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/5FAQs.doc
Contact Us http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/6ContactUs.doc

CSS should be used for layout and not tables.

I am prepared to accept uncoded designs too. The prize money will be only $250 though.

If you have any further questions please let me know.

Thanks

Paul

Addition:

Perhaps someone can try something with a more modern feel - perhaps with gradient backgrounds. I quite like the look and feel of this one. Obviously I am not saying copy this:)

Please note!

A few designs have used photos of switchboard operator people. The company this site is for is a small consultancy company so the idea of having a team of people waiting to answer the telephone is not really appropriate.

For images, I would prefer images of individuals looking pleased / happy / relieved that their debt problems have been solved and / or some corporate looking people who are also pleased / happy / relieved that their business debt problems have been solved.
