Web Design Brief
We are opening a retail store in Pittsburgh, PA named "Blue Sky Materials" which will sell environmentally friendly home improvement products including flooring, tile, countertops, solar panels, etc.
It will be a unique store to the area, selling many products that you cannot purchase in any other nearby stores.
We have a physical store, but some items can be purchased directly through the website also.
The challenge is to make the website artistic and beautiful, representative of nature, but also easy enough to navigate to be functional.
The main page should have a place to display a picture of our products

Requirements
Must have
- I want the entire page of the site to have a picture in the background, some picture of nature. I've attached one example of a picture as if you're looking up at the blue sky through tall trees. I am NOT set on this picture. It's just one example. I'll look for others as well.
- I've attached a very quick draft of how the first page might be laid out. Our logo top left (attached that file too), phone number top right, a slider box off to the left where various pictures of our products / work will rotate. (I've attached one picture of a kitchen to use for the website example). Then, for customers to access the various pages, perhaps each product is listed within it's own leaf or it's own cloud....really unsure here if it can be pulled off without looking cheap.
Nice to have
- For tabs or links to other pages, rather than having all of the plain boring tabs at the top (which are easy to navigate, but not as pretty) I'd like to experiment with having them throughout the page, perhaps congruent with whatever picture is in the background, as sort of shown in my draft attached. In my draft, I assumed the "tall trees" picture was the background. The lines drawn from the edges of the paper to the center represent the trees. And the links to our products "tile" "carpet" "countertops" sort of follow the circle of the view through the trees and are themselves perhaps on or in a leaf, or within a cloud or some other object representing nature.
Should not have
- Hard-to read font. With there being a picture in the background, I think the fonts should be clean and crisp - at least for the words that link to other pages (our products)
