Wordpress Design Brief

//** NEW WIREFRAME ADDED TO HELP WITH LAYOUT ISSUES. PLEASE REFER TO WIREFRAME IN ATTACHED FILES. NO DESIGN WILL BE CONSIDERED IF IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THE WIREFRAME. **//

//** PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BRIEF INCLUDING ALL UPDATES TO THE BRIEF. THE CLIENT IS VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT AND I'VE COVERED SEVERAL THINGS IN THE UPDATES. THERE IS ALSO A VIDEO UPDATE THAT HAS SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION IN IT FOR THIS CONTEST. **//

The client is an investment advisor who needs a new website designed. The current site is http://www.integraco.net.

The client wants the site to be green to match the attached logo.

The home page should have relevant images in the rotator. No people hugging! This is a financial investment site, not a family counseling site.

Also, the client wants 4 buttons on the home page to highlight the 4 main areas they focus on:

Investment Advice and Education
General Financial Planning
Retirement Planning
401K Planning

The top right area of the site needs to have their phone number, a call to action, and 2 buttons.

Their phone number is 303-220-5525

The call to action should say something like "Call for a free consultation!"

The buttons need to say:
Login To Your Ameritrade Account
Login To Your Morningstar Account

The final design should communicate professionalism, financial safety and growth.

Main navigation should be:

Home
About Us
Associates
Services
Contact
Mission Statement (Could also be "Our Mission")

This is a site that the client likes: http://www.jstinvestmentconsulting.com/

Info Icon
Updates

The designs should not have:

Newsletter content. A newsletter sign up is fine
Learning Center

Stock prices/tickers

The design should have a contact form on the page.

I have talked to my client and have some updates. I did a video update because I thought it would be easier to show what I'm trying to get across.


Here is that video:

The client wants the design to be simple.

The client wants the call to action in the top right to be similar to this:
It should say "Call for a free 20 minute phone consultation" instead of "Call for a free consultation"

The client wants the header and navigation to be in this layout:
You MUST use THEIR logo and the green marbled effect that they are using in their logo. NO EXCEPTIONS.

They like a contact form that looks like this:

They like the concept used here for the 4 topic areas:
but they want it to be more in a square similar to this:

If you have any questions please contact me and I will answer them for you. 

I look forward to see what you all come up with!

Thanks!!

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I am going to be extending the contest a few more days. I'm still not getting quite what I want and very few people are even trying to follow the creative brief and the updates to it. PLEASE read the entire brief and the updates. There is also a video I made that explains everything. I've also attached a wireframe. Thanks!
