Please help. Developing a new website for a friend. Need ideas for design.

Hi there!

This is the site I want you to discuss:
http://francielle.arteterapiabarcelona.es/
(This is just my server, we haven't bought any domains yet)

I am trying to design and develop a female friend of mine website. She's a translator, so it will be multilingual. I don't have much coding experience as I normally use a CMS.
It doesn't look that good, I know. The idea was to have like two separate websites.

The "portal", the part I am developing right now. She liked the idea of a vintage typewriter integrated somehow. I am open to suggestions, specifically:​

• change background color?
• use photoshop to change image contrast, etc?
• label certain areas ?
• change the image?
• change everything and start from scratch? (please don't be harsh)
• anything else?

The site itself with data, rates, telephone... in plain HTML + CSS, something really clean and minimalistic, like this. http://www.tradumatica.net/carbajales/ES/inicio.html or http://pixelhaven.co/​

The idea was for her to get some work via SEO/SEM and have her portfolio online.

Any suggestions are very welcomed.
Thanks for your time.

 

I think the best way to make this website si using Wordpress.. it's easy to setup, there is a bunch of themes, you can just edit it, add the content and so on.. you can check here : http://www.template4all.com or http://www.web2feel.com there is a bunch of themes that you can choose from and most of the are FREE TO USE and to modify...

Then create a categories, add a languages widget... plus she can write the articles by her self.. i hope that help !

 

I do know how to use Wordpress, but I wanted to use it for the "main site". I don't know how to make the main menu clickable. http://francielle.arteterapiabarcelona.es/ I haven't found any theme so far that would let me do that
