Assumptions:

-website will not be programmed with any flash elements
-Animation is welcomed
-stock photography may be required (royalty free preferred)
-Prefer to stay away from designs with large images that result in long loading times
-Web design will be pulled through to other digital and print promotional materials that the company develops


The audience is primarily male. Attached is the site and content map, including the company logo

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I'm extending the deadline because I want to ensure that designers have a enough time to concept their recommended layout. As I would prefer to choose a winner no later than Monday January 18 earlier submissions will be given a higher priority. But I am extending this project so there is some flexibility.
