We're gonna need the following sections in our site:
1) Home (link can be our logo)
2) Technology
3) Products
4) About
5) Jobs
6) Blog (this can be a wordpress template, so not a priority)
The Blog can be a separate wordpress page. The Home page will contain
an image with the screenshot of the product and maybe a world map in
the background like we have in our current site.
Here're some sites you can take as reference:
http://www.browsermob.com
http://www.indinero.com
http://www.cloudkick.com
http://www.twilio.com
feefighters.com
groupspaces.com
+ Our logo needs a white or very light background, our colors are
blue, orange and grey (and white of course)
+ we dont need 2 level menus, one level is enough
+ we like the small icons that give some color to the site (
browsermob.com is good at this)
+ we probably just need one panel in the middle w/ a worldmap
(version similar to the one we have in our homepage) and a product screenshot next to it.
We like simple and elegant designs with lots of color and small icons (e.g. browsermob).

++ Homepage:
this is the landing page. include a div bellow the menu w/ an image. the image contains a pixelized worldmap (like the one we have in our current page) and a screenshot of our product on top. Should include a tag line and maybe some small description (see example sites). Example tagline is "Real-time network anallytics for the enterprise" or/and "Availability, Performance and Security for the cloud".
Belllow this div there should be 3 columns each describing a metric : availability, performance, security. There should be an icon for each metric, plz see browsermob.com as example.
Please include a footer with small links like jobs, etc. like in browsermob.com and the other sites
++ Technology and Products pages
This page should have a submenu (maybe on the left) and the content should describe our product and technology. We can fill the images later.
For each subpage there should be a menu on the left (see indinero.com as example). Here each link in the menu can be on of our products..
++ About
similarly as in Products, include a menu on the left including 1)company 2)team 3) contact
