Web-site refresh

I want to update an existing website ([login to view URL]). The updated site should reflect the existing layout structure. I am a graphic 'caveman', and would like the developer to create an XHTML-compliant web-site with a modern styling. The web-site styling should be indicative of the following themes: - maritime (ships, the sea) - defence (navies across the world) - technology (modern) - quality (high quality software) I personally warm to the 'Web2.0' design standards ([login to view URL]), though respect the developer's opinion on how this meets the above design styles. My ISP provides PHP3, 4 & 5, Perl & CGI's. I initially do not require the solution to utilise these technologies but welcome guidance from developer. The pages should also include AdSense placeholders (possibly in right-hand column), and tidily utilise google's local search box. The developer is welcome to draw public domain imagery from the Internet. I will happily provider further guidance to bidder(s). ## Deliverables Zip file containing web-site reflecting existing web-site. Web-site should use relative link references in order that it be 'trialled' in sub-directory of target domain. ## Platform IE 5.5+, Firefox, Camino, Safari, etc.
