Hello there,
Firstly I'd like to say that it is a pleasure to bid on this project even if I don't get selected for job, simply because I will have the opportunity to congratulate you on the very detailed description, never seen anything alike, cheers.
Secondly, maybe we have the same idea about the sections you want to include and have described, and the idea is to have a single page website, divided in sections (which are also, the most wanted type of sites in the market for the moment) . A page I have built in my work (but because of my contract can't include in my portfolio) is [login to view URL], which has some similar features as the ones you have described, like the logo redirecting to homepage, similar header bar or the little arrow shifting the page up (even though the client must have edited the page now and has covered it with "leave a message" bar :P).
Or an even better sample would be this template: [login to view URL] , with the news section of 4 news and being able to navigate them, the personnel description section, a similar footer bar, as the one you are looking for etc.
So, basically we can mix the features of both of them, in order to fulfill your desires (if they are of course matching my assumption that you want a single page site). Else, we can again mix their features, but in different pages, no harm done.
I'm having no more space to write, so if you are interested to know more about me, just drop a line.
Congratulations once again!
Cheers :D
