+1 and a very important POV imho

Indeed ;-) I'd rather try to get rid of the sidebar completely.

Search is a common functionality the site should have, the frame when
active is not necessary imho.

What I like concerning your sketch:
- using the whole width of the container for content
- shifting the triangles to the background
- the look of the main menu bar

-- subpages could be made easily availabe by a dropdown menu which is
pretty common, eventually semi-transparent

- a more colorful appearance - although the choice of the brownish
button in the middle is somehow suboptimal  ;-)
- an 'emotional' eyecatcher on top with alternating pics

-- which I do not imagine as screenshots or similar, but rather seeing
office/business snapshots with smiling faces implying easy and decent
results in a relaxed atmosphere

Cheers,
Erich
