DESIGN RESEARCH
*****
In reviewing design ideas, the following sites were appealing:
Good
- Jacob Lilley Architects (http://jlaarchitects.com/) - Simple and clean, but almost too simple.
Better
- Foley Fiore Architecture (http://www.foleyfiore.com/) - Direct portfolio access. Simple and clean.
Best
- Hutker Architects (http://www.hutkerarchitects.com/) - Clean, simple, easy to navigate
- LDA Architecture & Interiors (http://www.lda-architects.com/) - Excellent use of high-resolution media, transitions, and navigation.
Here is an example of what is NOT desired:
Hickox Williams Architects (http://www.hickoxwilliams.com/) - Cluttered, tight landing page. Uncertain navigation.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hello everyone,
Thank you for your continued patience with this project. As it turns out, a critical member of the decision making team on our client's end has been out of the office this week. She will be back next week and is ready to be fully engaged with this. That said, we are extending the contest for at least 5 days. Next week will be much more active.
Thank you for your understanding.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hello,
With so many designs, the customer is taking longer than anticipated to review them. They are looking at them offline and will process a large batch of comments when ready.
That said, the contest is being extended again.
Thank you for your continued patience.

Requirements
Must have
- - Lots of media capabilities, such as embedded video (via YouTube is fine), project image gallery, sliders for various functions, and social media integrations
- - At least one large slider on the landing page is critical, as well as space for standard lead-in things, such as news/events, opportunities, project highlights, and the likes
- - A high-resolution project showcase - finished projects and works in progress - is critical
- - A place to highlight business partners with the potential for reciprocation
- Form capabilities for things like information requests and general contacts from the public
- - Design must be handed off in a logically-layered (for WordPress) PSD with any and all additional source files provided (e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, fonts, etc)
Nice to have
- - The WordPress design should be capable of fitting into the very popular WooThemes Canvas theme.
