Please note: We do not have a web site right now. I've just set up perluxi.com as a dummy site for me to learn how to administer drupal 7. Please don't refer to this site for any content.

Since we are a consultancy, we look to other consultancies that have been in the market place longer and have a lot more success. Now, this does not mean that we are like these firms completely. Rather, there are certain elements that we like and a lot that we don’t like. I do want to leverage our web site to tell a compelling story though – We are new, we are different, but we are better. I want the web site to instill an impression of confident and strength – while at the same time be humbling in approach. In other words, our clients will tell us that we are better, but we don’t want to tell our clients we are better than these firms. That said, here are a few examples:

Page 1 (Home Page) – This should provide an overview / outline of our company including what we do. Management consulting is about helping businesses develop strategies to grow and make more $$$. Additionally, it is about finding ways to reduce operating costs and make businesses more efficient. The home page should convey the following:
1) Though we are a young company, we are run by very experienced and highly educated consultants
2) What we offer to our customers is not different from what our competitors offer (see web sites that I've included), but "how" we offer our services is very different . When we say that we are benefit driven, we mean that if we can't quantify the value of the work that we do, we will not do the work. Sometime consultants tend to sell services that they clients may not need because this helps them make money. For us, we will not engage in this activity. We will strive to define clearly what the value proposition is before we engage in the work.
On the homepage, I want the design to convey confident and experience. At the same time, I want it to show something it to have design elements that show that we are not just like the other consultants - we are better!!!! I also want the website to not look like cookie cutter site templates - i want it to have a custom professional look to it. Let me know if this make sense...
Page 2 (Content Area – Consulting Services) – This should be a content template that will be used to capture most of the content on the web site, especially those relating to the consulting services. This page will be used to capture the following types of contents:
• About Us
o Our Story
o Leadership
o Corporate Philosophy
o Our Value Proposition
• Consulting Services – Description of each of our service offering
o Strategy & Operations
o IT Transformation
• Case Studies – Sample case studies of clients we’ve worked with and the value they’ve gained from working with us
• Career
o Working @ Perluxi
o Our Culture
o Join Us
• Contact Us
Page 3 (Content Area – Financial Forensic Examination) – This should be a content template that will be used to capture the content on the web site relating to this service offering, especially those relating to work around financial forensic examination. This page will be used to capture the following types of contents:
• Financial Forensic Examination
o Fraud Environment Assessment
o Financial Valuation
o Forensic Accounting & Fraud Analysis
o Expert Witness
Page 4 (Client Work Area) – This page is available to clients after they successfully logged on the web site. This is the area where we can exchange files with our clients as well as post comments about a project. In this area, we would like to be able to have some tracking mechanism (to show status of certain projects and overall health of the project in question). This area will be set up per client usage. Additionally, I would like the client to request access for other project team members. When I approve the request, an email will be sent out to the requestor and others that the request has been approved. Essentially, this is where we will meet and work with our client – a virtual meeting room if you will.
Page 5 – Potentially is a contact page…..We can use same structure as in Page 2
The design should be compatible for coding using Drupal 7. If there are any issues, please let me know.....this is the most important criteria.
As you go through this contest, please consider the websites that I've listed. I want you to be creative, so just don't look at them. If you can make something that is even more compelling that what these companies are putting out, it would be even better. I want our company to be very progressive and present an image of the 'new' things to come. BTW, the word "Perluxi" means to "examine, to look in a different light, to see things differently". That is what I want the website to convey as well......
Every page should have facebook, LinkedIn, and twitter link (via logo?)
I want the client to contact me via any of the pages...
Client should be able to log in to his / her workspace from any of the pages....once inside the workspace, he can request other users in his organization to have access to the work space. Need to have ability to date / time stamp.
I want to have a contact form as well where clients can reach out to me via the form.
The web site is created for other business professionals who are looking to buy consulting services......
The preferred logo / theme should be the Perluxi blue logo set...the red set is an alternate set...
