This summer we are engaging in a large project to revamp the website, consolidate our services, and provide new content through the website that we have (www.tripletriadextreme.com). I am needing a designer/graphics artist to help us set a decent foundation to build on. If done very well, I can guarantee extra opportunities going forward. * A brand new website, color schemes, and logos mostly reflecting the origin of the game, Final Fantasy 8. Other final fantasy references are preferable. * Animations, special effects, or etc. should be used to keep the site from being bland. * The website should focus more on the game aspect than the news aspect of the site. * It should focus on community development. The comments, facebook additions, etc. should be properly organized. * The site should be easily navigated. * Statistical pages should be revamped to use more eye candy to convey the statistics so that the user can feel proud (or not proud) of his or her accomplishments. Users have stated they like the feel (statistics wise) of the site: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/burning-blade/atomicsplit/simple - All page construction should have SEO in mind. * The site should be lightweight and work within the bounds of SEO in terms of overall file size and render time. * The website is generated by a custom .NET solution. This will not be provided to you. Since the solution is skinable, I will need a CSS, the html code, and the graphics to support it and I will render it for you. * There are only a few pages that would need to be designed in terms of templating * Statistical Pages * The front page * Game mechanic pages (these might not be candidates for templating but instead could be consolidated or made better Please understand that I intend to invest a significant amount of time and effort into the overall project that this posted job encompasses. The design of the site is critical to its success. I do not want a standard gaming website template nor do I want a page with a flimsy asp.net grid (like we have now). It should feel like an actual web-based game. Additionally, the revamp of this project will include the merge of the client application that we have and the website. Some thought on the actual game play and tables in terms of the site layout will also be a part of this overall project. Please let me know in this thread if you are interested. You can post or PM me your portfolio.
I am flexible and am paying well for exceptional work. Just let me know your capabilities with examples and a preliminary cost/estimate.
Just a note, I am still looking for inquiries. I am looking for that style that would be best suitable for a web-based video game model.
