Website for modern high-tech vocational college

InnoTech College

The college will initially focus on delivering a software programming course called "SharePoint Developer Diploma" and, with time, we're looking to add additional post-secondary programs focused on programming, robotics and business.

Please IGNORE the current style of the website. It is just something that I whipped up myself using a free wordpress template. I hate it!

I'd like for the website to target a young audience (18-30 y.o.) and have a unisex feel. I'd like for it to look modern, clean, not cluttered, but not overly 'cold'...it should be inviting. Blues and greens would work for colours but I'm open to other colour schemes too. I've attached the logo file, however I don't love the logo, so if the website designer ends up coming up with a better logo idea, that will go with the website's design, then I'm willing to pay extra to implement a new logo.

I'd like for the designer to design the homepage. The main goal of the homepage is to educate the visitors about the 'trendiness' of the subjects of the program offerings, so it would be great to somehow integrate a news stream about some key topics and have a dozen or so articles circulating somewhere, on the side or in the background. The homepage's next goal is to direct visitors to each program's internal pages.

I don't like anything that looks old-fashioned, like from the 80s or 90s. I currently feel like the logo looks like this a bit, which is why I'm open to having it changed. I also really appreciate smart use of space, and the use of empty space and/or images.

IGNORE how the website looks currently. I hate this look. I'm attaching the images used within the website but don't feel like you need to use them. I'm not overly fond of any of them.
