Default How to make a website like this?

I am wondering if this website here could be made with wordpress. I don't really care about the embedded video and picture placement and whatnot, but more so the size and shape of the banner, tabs, columns, and links below. I have tried to make professional looking websites with wordpress (using atahualpa theme) but they still looked pretty bloggy. Any themes that could do something like this? Or another relatively easy way?

I think Atahualpa could handle this customizations.
Its not a rocket science to make it - but does take some work.
Here's my atahualpa customization: vga capture - with fully custom menu system.

Anything could be done to it - i love this theme.

I'm sure it can be customised.

I get a developer to develop my blogs, as I can't be bothered trying to nut out customisation. You would have to go into the CSS and PHP code to customise that layout.

Yeah, you can design any template you wish to in WP, not sure if any exist that currently look like it though.

Also, what exactly do you mean by the term "bloggy"? It's completely up to you how you want a template coded and styled together.

How about a salesletter wp theme that you customize the colors to look like this sales letter?

Other options: have someone take the original salespage and convert it into a wp theme for you.

Or learn how to do that yourself. If you're going to be spending your own time, chances are you'd be better off driving traffic to your site.

iDreamCatcher, I don't know how you accomplished all of that. I was never able to even get rid of the dotted lines that run everywhere.

- james by "bloggy" I just meant it looks like it is probably a blog

- ellie I'm not ready to pay someone to do that tinkering or to do it myself, I need a relatively quick, simple, solution

- Vanessa I find the salespage theme repellent. Sorry.

Thanks.

I believe you can create the look, feel and functionality of that page with Word Press
