I need an author website for an upcoming book for boys 10+. I want to -start- with a pretty basic look, and then do some strange things to it.

The basic look is something like a single page from one of the following websites. (Theyre all far more complex than I need, though. I include them just to show whats out there.)

My favorite is: http://www.anthonyhorowitz.com/

(Simple and lovely. Except Id want "Buy the Book" buttons, linking to Amazon, B&N, Borders, Booksense, Powells, and Books-a-Million.)

http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/books/
http://www.jamesreesebooks.com/books.html
http://www.rickriordan.com/
http://www.stevecolebooks.co.uk/series/tripwire/

Anything in that neighborhood, as far as the basic look–though the illustration can be simpler than the slickest of those.

But then theres my strange thing. I want it to look as if my website is being hacked, corroded by 1s and 0s, perhaps, in a Matrix-like fashion. Probably not 1s and 0s, the specifics are up to the designer! But Im looking for stylish, cool, the sorta thing that tween boys might like–and not too confusing.

The idea is that the hacker has disabled most of the buttons and tabs (thats why I dont need a multiple-page site: Ill have a tab for blog but no blog, a tab for about the author but no page, etc.). Instead, the hacker has posted a video (which Ill provide) and probably a few snarky comments when you click on the disabled tabs.

The important stuff will still be visible: name and cover of the book, a short blurb, links to online bookstores. But other than that, the hacker has taken over the site, and posted his comments and a video in a cascade of stylized graphics.

I want the website viewable without a long wait time, so nothing too complex.

And one final request. Evaluating a designer by clicking through a huge portfolio is tough for me. Instead, if you could highlight a few samples of the -style- you might use, in approaching this, thatd be great. So if youve got something cyberpunk-y or a stylized pattern with one layer corroding or peeling another, Id love to see it. Otherwise, if you could message a few words about how youd depict the hacker taking over the site, Id appreciate it. And theres always points for pure painterly beauty!
