Wordpress Blog Design And Coding Contest - $500 - Paypal Payment

Are you a top coder and designer? We need a new design (fully coded) for our website.

We are looking for the full works, including a new logo, header, proper coding, ect.

The website is: Indyposted.com

The blog is a "Newspaper" setup and we want a more effective way to display information, along with a right side SIDEBAR that runs the whole page.

Requirements:

Color: Same as already in background, a nice blue that doesn't distract to much from the content.

1. Very Top of Page should show Pages as it does already in a nice black or blue bar.

2. We need a Header With New Professional Logo and Search Bar, along with a spot for a full, optimized as you think is best.

3. Menu below (or in header) should be for Top Category with drop downs for sub-categories as it is now.

4. Content Area for Post section should be 550px - 600px

5. TweetMeme should be able to display next to Page Title. Below page title should be an area that says "Category" then "Tags" as it already does.

6. Right sidebar should be 300-350px.

7. Homepage should be optimized to show posts from all our sections and should be dynamic so if we add new categories they will show up as well. Much like a standard newspaper website, not like a typical blog.

8. Footer should have three sections as it does now, those sections should be "Widget based" so we can change what goes into them at any point.

9. We want a "Follow Us" section at the top right part of the page with the following options "Twitter, Facebook, RSS, Subscribe By Email"

Design should be clean but "Fun"

Let us know if you have more questions.

 

Hi, I will make the design first and if you like it, then I'll code! Is it ok!

 

Yes showing the template first is absolutely fine. I would prefer that so users aren't wasting their time.

 

Hi,
Can you accept designs only? (not coded) maybe after you got you desired design you can hire a coder for the coding? Loads of designers including me do only design so you will definately miss alot of high quality designs, $350 for the design only?

 

We will accept a non-coded design at $300. We have an XHTML valid programmer that charges $200, which we would rather pay than a coder we don't know.

 

You haven't indicated a time-frame for this contest yet, unless you will run this for as long as it needs to be till you find your design?

 

Satchii, I will run until I find a unique design. However no longer than 2 weeks.

 

Great contest, I'll definitely submit

 

Will definately be submitting a design

 

Thanks Kurtis we look forward to seeing your design.

 

If I have some other color schemes in mind, Can i implement them? Or do exactly as you say?

 

bb-x you can implement different color schemes, but we don't want a dark content area or a black background. It has to look "newsy" but still "fun"

 

O, I'll just make the design and qualify for $300. ok?

 

That's find bb-x. I can get someone to code if I find a design that meets my needs.

 

just a question.. do you want the tweetmeme retweet button in ur blog header?

 

Hi, another thing, I am making 3 tables under the header for "SUBSCRIBE" "CONTACT US" and "SEARCH"! Is it ok. When done I'll tell you!

Regards

 

bb-x, I would have to see it. I want the "Social Networking" aspects of the site to be highlighted in some way. See requirement #9

 

Hassan_ali, I would actually like the TweetMeMe to be right next to each blog title on each individual post page.

So it would go "TWEETMEME BUTTON (TITLE OF POST).

 

PLEASE NOTE....WE DO NOT WANT THAT "FEATURED" area anymore, and it should be a new layout in the design, not the same layout with new colors.

 

yeh thats what i thought u wanted done.. but since u said blog title.. i thot u want it somewhere in the header.. so i thot it wud be a bit weird.. hence my question.
