Hi Kurt,
it is not my intention to convince people staying out - neither this board nor the application nor web design at all. So you’re absolutely in the correct place - even in a safe space. All I want is a strong and representative audience which says:
“We’re Freeway and we can do fucking nice projects!”
Point is, that there is a topic which makes “everyone” a web designer. This topic is called storyboard. Compare it with a business plan. The stronger the story, the easier the page. And everyone knowing his business - and you guys do, can write this down. So no-one is excluded from this lofty-desire per-se.
Just as an example, I once created:
http://backstage.kimmich-digitalmedia.com/templates/walk-through-the-park/index.html
As simple as this page is, it covers many aspects (if not all) you planned in your multiple page project.
It’s my all-time start, giving answers like “Who”, “What”, “Why”, “Whom”, “Where” in a quick, unobtrusive human-readable and recognizable way.
I could think of your promo video as kind of background video instead of the static hero (such as this https://whiteroom.agency just an example) and you’re mostly done. Live events could be part of the slider, space introducing you main leading guys is available as well.
One project I made out of it is the one for my main client:
German - yes, but I think you got the gist.
Now the downside of the operation. Pages like this requires a strong knowledge about “placing items”. They’re not the “drop&drag” way, this is called inline. But even there is a kickstarter called backdraft. It’s free: http://getbackdraft.com
With all this said, I’m as well the firm conviction that web-design is a job and can’t be covered by two good hours routine piece of work each week.
And yes - I even know a damn good guy here on board who is much wiser and more polite than I will ever be.
Cheers
Thomas
