VDMi
We are a web development company specialized in Drupal / PHP development. We work on mid-sized and large internet projects. We have 6 employees and a lot of freelancers hanging around. PHP, MySQL, PERL, CSS, JavaScript, Flash (Actionscript) have no secrets for us.
60% of our projects are based on Drupal (http://www.drupal.org). All of our projects have something to do with PHP and databases.
Conclusion: we are nerds.
We basically want to tell the world how cool our work is and attract new work with that.
Our clients are companies and governmental organizations with technical internet projects (value $5000 and up). We also work often with agencies (advertisement, communication) to assist them in their projects.
We are looking for a brand new (fresh and light), 2011, design for our website (http://www.vdmi.nl). It is a portfolio website for work we have done in the past. we also want to add a blog and some pages about the company and/or technologies we use.
We did an attempt ourselves, but we are just not satisfied. It reflects not who we are and basically... it is boring (and we are not).
See http://huisstijl.projects.vdmi.nl/ for our failure.
(we do like the menu animation though... but of course you can come up with something better)
The expected output is 3 pages in PSD.
- frontpage (home)
- project/portfolio page (details of 1 project)
- contact/form page (interaction with the visitor through a form)
Attached is our logo, letters some screenshots and an invoice example we use in the off-line world. The logo will not change, and we expect a design that connects to our offline communications.
We are always looking for longterm relationships, not only for our own work, but also for work for our clients.
