Wordpress Design Brief

Hi!

We'd love your help coming up with design and surprise elements for our plain n' simple wordpress site (now living at www.surprisology.com).

We are a company that specializes in surprise, currently focusing on corporate clients. We design surprise adventures (anything from a fire eating class to an ice sculpting workshop but no one knows what to expect till they get there). We also do training in how to use surprise as a tool and event surprisification (adding surprise elements).

So obviously we really need to add some kind of surprise to our site. It can be in the background, in the header, in the navigation, or anything else you can think of as long as it is not super loud and flashy.

Our old site is here: www.surpriseindustries.com

Here we really loved the navigation - the element of surprise for the new site can be as simple as that or something more involved.

If you are just working on the header/background, the wordpress theme template specs are:

Header - 960 pix wide and 180 pix high
Background - main content is 560 px and sidebar is 230 px

We can install new header and background images but beyond that don't know much about customizing the code. If you're willing to get into the code and make changes, please be our guest!

Here is an example of a style we love: www.slideshare.net/jackmortonWW/nothing-rhymes-with-orange-jack-mortons-brand-book
This is not a website, but we really love the aesthetics.
