We are a couture handbag production and marketing company for small- to medium-sized handbag designers all around the world.  This project will be for an updated look for our own company website that captures the sleekness and modern feel of the current elements, but perhaps not so dark and ominous and definitely less dependent upon flash, since we'd like to be able to do some search-engine optimization after the design phase.

Task 1: come up with a new look for our site along the lines of what you will see at http://launchbags.com/contest , using some of our elements.  We will have better, updated content to provide later, and an additional stipend will be given to the contest winner to complete those housekeeping tasks.

Task 2:  weed out the heavy flash dependency and instead use flash elements that don't dominate but enhance.  The site should be cross-browser friendly and shouldn't demand too many resources from the viewer's computer.

Task 3: this task is optional, but it may be necessary to update our logo to balance it with the site's new look.  An additional stipend will be paid if the best design's look depends on a new look for the logo.

Some photos that you can use to help along with the design:

Good luck, and please contact me with any questions you may have.
