Hello,

I assume this is an Informational website to describe your marketing services, I would loved to see some examples for sites you liked on the same type of business, also I notice that you did not include any logo for your company, However I made a layout with my imagination of your site should be, a Quick desc about the layout:

1: The Banner: Its the top part on your site which i include a temporary Logo and a phone number which is important if a customer want to ask a question about your company

2: A Sliding Box Content:which I used to have a Quick view of your services as its the main thing you really want the audience to check it out.

3: 2nd box: below the content is to help the audience finding more information about your site

4: Footer: there should be a footer with your (Address, copyright, or Some quick links for the site navigation).


Kindly review the Design Bellow and let me know your feedback



Thanks,

Amr- Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been out sick.

I like the clean look. My only issue is that it looks a bit too corporate. Our goal is to get the user to click on "Buy Now" or something similar, so I think we need a more blatant sales pitch or call to action.

Here are a couple of sites offering similar products. I am not sure we want to emulate their visual style, but they are targeting our market.

At the moment we are planning to go with stylized text rather than a logo, so what you have done is on the right path, I think.

Rather than "news" and "our team", a (possibly long) list of testimonials might be better.

Hello scoffee,

I'm Sorry to hear about your health, My wishes to you is to get better...

I understand that the layout is looking a bit corporate and missing the audience attraction, However I think i understand your point and convert it to a modified layout per your request.

Changes i did with the layout

1: I removed the services and placed a banner with half picture of a street cop Just like the other competitor you mentioned on your reply, with a Picture of a Panic guy with a quick message telling him relax Do not Panic, and thats what i wanted to give it to the audience then your services follow, ( its like relax we can help you..).

3: Added a gray background with a stripe just to focus on the site content i can undo it back to the original if you think it will distract the audience.

2: Removed the Team, News portion and replaced it with a testimonial and it should slide-in automatically to list the rest of other testimonials you got per 30 sec.



Kindly share your valuable feedback.

Regards,
-Amr

DO you want coding or just the psd files for the web page?

[scoffee]

@sharie: We are coders with no design abilities, so psd will be fine. If you have example scripts for the effects you have in mind, we would appreciate them, but they are not necessary.

@Amr: Thanks for the update. That is a lot closer to the target. Rather than ask you to spend a lot more time at this point, I'd like to wait and see if any of the other designers have alternatives for us to consider.
