Tquila
Tquila are a (technology) consulting company.
We provide 'Cloud' (SaaS) solutions and services based primarily around SalesForce.com and the Force.com platform. (because we believe that the Force.com platform presents the most complete current manifestation of the 'Cloud' vision)
PLEASE DO - look at http://www.force.com to learn more about what it is that we do.
We are very different from other salesforce.com partners. We are young, dynamic, funky and yet professional.
We want to stand out from the other established salesforce.com partners and as part of that we need a new web site that will help create a buzz and generate leads.
Concept
We want our website to embrace our culture of young, funky and dynamic but we also need to take into consideration that we will be targeting more conservative organisations so we need to come over professional and not scare them off.
We work with the worlds leading cloud computing company - salesforce.com and the cloud theme could be incorporated in the site but in a subtle way. It also needs to be clean and easy to navigate.
Sites we like are:
http://aspindle.com
http://www.joyent.com
http://www.seesmic.com
http:/www.thinkfa.com/profile
What we DON’T want is to look anything like competitors:
http://www.wigroup.com
http://www.astadia.com
Our website will be three tiers: Home -> Major topic -> detail pages
As such three template designs are required (Please see web-brief.ppt for sample site map)
Home: To include our logo - primary navigation to each of the major topics (5 or 6 of these) - OUTLINED IN BLACK ON OUR SITEMAP
The home page should also include areas where we can include elements like a 'social feed' from our twitter / linkedin pages along with featured articles etc (see any of our suggested websites for similar concepts)
The second level template will be the 'master page': OUTLINED IN BLUE ON OUR SITEMAP
This will be the high level page which provides an overview of the website section you've selected: examples include
1. About: Who we are (our 5 key principles)
2. Partners: An overview of our product and partner strategy. A list of companies we work with, their logo and brief description of their offerings Remedyforce and Modelmetrics
3. Services: A page which provides and overview of the services we offer. Development, Business Analysis, Implementation and our methodology
4. Blog/News: Links to facebook, Twitter, Wordpress and also current news stories.
5. Contact us
Detail page: OUTLINED IN ORANGE ON OUR SITEMAP
This should accommodate topics such as:
1. Team Tquila - bios of staff or links to their twitter accounts like this http://www.seesmic.com/management-team ,
2. Life @Tquila (Jobs),
Attached is a copy of our corporate presentation and also our company logo.
The web site needs to be less busy than the PowerPoint but we have put this up to give you some ideas - and the website should complement this design theme.
Also you will find a 'webcontent' document which contains some sample text to fill out the templates.
Our target audience is businesses - who are looking for assistance in implementing strategic solutions to leverage the power of salesforce.com
...as such our site should be funky - but professional - appealing to sales, marketing & IT professionals along with company leaders.
