Hi,
Thanks for the invitation. But the job list is for total full functional site. I think the budget is too far for that.If you need the design in Photoshop then its OK. I will happily submit the design for you.

Please reply me asap.

Regards
Jack

Sorry for the confusion. I'm clearly not very design savvy, and am a little unsure how the process works. I've already got a wordpress site and am using design theme twenty-ten, however I want it to look much nicer, with graphics and whatnot that I'm not capable of doing myself given my very limited knowledge of CSS. I spend an hour trying to figure out how to change background color. I need to spend more time writing content rather than worrying about my design.

I think I just need the photoshop design and css with instructions to install, or I could give the winner my login? Please let me know if that clears things up and if it is a reasonable ask.

Thank you

Hi ,
 I got your point. But the real thing is that if you want to make your site more beautiful and professional and functional  than the current one then you need a full fledged design in Photoshop . The design will be of Home page and one common inner page. As you know that the common inner page will be used to make template for all the inner pages.
But I could not help you to embed the HTML into WordPress platform, because there is no such easy way to embed a HTML into WordPress platform. All you need the knowledge of wordpress.

And if we provide the pages in Photoshop and then HTML/CSS you may embed that into your wordpress site only when you have the proper knowledge of how to make templates in the WordPress platform.


 I have visited your site and read the brief very carefully. There are lot of things which need a coder to develop and embed into WordPress.


So think yourself. If you want to complete your site with new view and new functionalities then all you have to make a project for full development from the scratch.

I don't want to keep you in dark, that's why I am telling the truth. If you think then I can show you the layout and take all the responsibility of your site. But that will be a new job.

What I think that right now I will submit a design for your project. And if you like that then you may give me the development job after providing the HTML/CSS files. Or you can send me personal message . You can have my mail id from Design Crowd. Just ask them to give that. I could not give my mail id directly to you without their concern.
I think these can make sense.

Hi, 


After reading your brief and read comments, I agree that you are using wordpress as cms, it is easy to manage content and have a plenty support and plugins, not to mention tons of themes you can use.

However for this project, I want to add some more.

To be clear, I think you are demanding for a fully working wordpress theme that is unique to your site, plus setting it up for the first time.

in general, to do this you will have to do several phases,
  1. Design, you will receive PSD
  2. Code the design into HTML/CSS, or PSD to HTML
  3. Create a wordpress theme based on the design and using html/css
  4. Install the theme on your site and set the content until meet your needs, including (if exist) featured posts or featured story, widgets and so on.  
The design itself consists of several pages, I think you will going to need these pages to be designed : 
  1. Homepage (the concept, other pages derived from this design, maybe you can start the project in designcrowd from this one )
  2. Single Posts, Single Pages, Author page (might be similar)
  3. Category Archive, to display page when user click on category, in this case might be stories by area.
  4. Search Page
  5. Contact form page
  6. 404 error page
  7. Portfolio like page (to show photos you mention in brief)
also I agree with Jack, the budget is for a concept page / homepage design only (and it is huge, because other pages and css and also the theme will be derived from it). my suggestion is you can ask for the PSD /s in this project, and later you can create another project (could be with the winner :D ) to do the other phases, but the decision is in your hands.

Anyway, about the brief,  maybe you can add any example of websites you like and you don't like to give us more clear direction.

I hope this can help to build your site.

Best Regards,
Windo

Hello Windo, Jack, and other participating designers,


I appreciate you taking the time to provide me with feedback and help me wrap my head around a topic otherwise pretty foreign to me. 

It sounds like you are making a very reasonable request given the work involved. Please let me know what a fair price would be for the second project that will be done by the winner of this one. This initially was my site "improvement" budget, but I want to be fair and have this done right, so I will do my best to make everyone happy. 

Sites I like: 

I like the look of these sites:

http://beersandbeans.com/ 

http://butterflydiary.com

I like the vintage travel postcards as displayed on this blog post (I like this site as well):

Looking forward to hearing back from you soon,

Thank you

Beth

Hi ,
Can you provide your mail id so I can send the budget for the next project.

Regards
Jeet

Jeet and other participating designers,

This project will pay $400 to the winner of the design (psd only). Another project will be posted for the code and wordpress integration. Ideally, I would be able to work with the winning designer, but this also depends on budget. If you would like to email me your cost for the second project, my email is bryost@gmail.com.

Thanks for your interest and patience as I''ve been trying to work out the details!

Best,

Beth
