The site will support a software product that I have recently developed. The site will be hosted on a SharePoint server which means the xhtml and site layout will need to be implemented as an Asp.NET MasterPage and a WSS Theme. If you are interested please send me your resume, and some example work. I will provide more detail about the site content and structure to those who respond. I have a $1500 budget for this project.

Visual identity for comedy group

tweebiscuit — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:03:08 -0800

My comedy group needs a new visual identity, including but not limited to a new logo, graphics, website look-and-feel, and general visual aesthetic. We're looking for an experienced, creative designer with a fresh sensibility -- someone who can get a feel for our work and provide us with a complete, distinct visual package that complements what we do. We're based in New York, but you don't have to be. Get in touch and we'll talk!

I need a new website for my business.

vito90 — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:20:01 -0800

Nothing fancy. I own two pet stores in Seattle, WA. We haven't updated our site (www.petsenergy.com) since we expanded and it's hopelessly obsolete. We don't need anything cutting edge but we definitely need to upgrade it. I am open to any creative ideas. We of course will provide all the copy and photographs, etc. We also need to make our store more prominent when people search on the web. I've budgeted money for the job and would be pleased to supplement that with bartered pet food and supplies if that's feasible. Thanks!

Kick-ass Graphic Designer / Web Designer

grumblebee — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 09:00:51 -0800

My company, Nabbr.com, is looking for an full-time, onsite designer. We already have two MeFite's working here. Let's make it a third! Our company is thriving, full of talented people, and never boring. If you join our team, each project you work on will be wildly different from the last one. You'll be working on our web site, developing unique graphics for our clients, and making images for our sales team to use in presentations. Most of our work involves promoting trendy products (bands, movies, video games, etc.) to young people, so you have to have a hip, cutting edge design style -- not a super-corporate one. Take a look at our homepage, nabbr.com, to see our current design aesthetic. You won't be locked into this (we want someone creative), but you should feel comfortable with the whole "web 2.0, rounded corner" thing. We'll need you to be able to create production-ready images, which means optimized and, if necessary, sliced. If you have any Flash, web-coding, or video skills, those are pluses, but they're not requirements. We pay well, and there's a possibility for equity in the company. Please do not contact us if you're a freelancer in another city. We only want to meet people willing to work in our office, which is in lower Manhattan. We will entertain the idea of relocating someone, if he or she is talented enough. If you're a pro, you already know this, but I need to see a portfolio.

Convert design into WordPress theme

Mo Nickels — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:44:45 -0800

I need somebody who can convert a single web page design into a working WordPress 2.3.x theme. The design will be delivered in a sliced Photoshop file. You need to be prepared to create as much of the look in well-formed XHTML and CSS as possible. No tables, no frames, and no more graphics or Flash than are necessary. You need to understand columns, boxes, styled text, tight code, cross-browser issues, and consistency. You will use dummy text where the WordPress-specific tags will go and someone else will replace them with working code later, but the styling information must already be in place. In order to apply, you must have an online portfolio. Do not apply if you cannot adhere absolutely to the deadlines. The work begins November 8th and must be complete by November 16th, with no leeway whatsoever. All revisions must also happen before November 16th. This is for a non-profit startup: there is a small, inflexible budget for this: $500, including two rounds of revisions.

Graphic Designer Needed

geryon — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:59:46 -0800

I need a new look for my theater directing portfolio. I could use some help in figuring out how to lay out the pictures, how to display them, maybe create some of kind of "brand identity" (ugh). I've got some big meetings in the next couple of months and I want to be able to clearly display my work in print and online, and I could really use someone to take a look at my work and critique it/help me design a better look for it. Email me for more details. I'd be great if you had a portfolio for me to look at first, but if you're young and looking for a portfolio builder, than this job could be right up your alley. Please also include a quote/hourly rate, etc.

Web designer (single project)

barryhooper — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 21:20:27 -0800

Need someone to set up a website for a Halifax-based comedy troupe (Picnicface) who are starting to get moderately popular on the net. Right now our site looks like this: http://www.picnicface.com/ We'd like to make it look more professional and give it a "cleaner" look (This for example, but without flash), have embedded videos, pictures, possibly a "store" section, and we're willing to pay some money for this. However, we don't have a lot. I'm asking in this forum because I've been a member of MeFi for a while (under a different name, I want to keep my real name and MeFi name separate) and I know there are lots of web-savvy people here. I figure it might be a good thing for someone's website portfolio. You never know, we may hit it big one of these days...

Can you create a flash app for me?

Geoffh — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 22:53:51 -0800

Hey there, I've been working on an idea for a flash based app. I have a team of people who usually work on this stuff for me, but this project seems to be well over their heads. They've tried to create it using asp.net and ajax but have not had any luck getting it to work. So here's the scoup: I need to hire someone (or a team) to build this for me from scratch. This will be an ongoing project. we can negotiate a fee to release a basic version of the app, then build on it from there (paying you for each new step). The app will be embeddable on any web page and will function very similarly to this one, which you can also see in action here on this page as well. This app will not be a box.net clone. Just wanted something to show you to give you a general idea. This is how I see it working: The app should have the ability to display text, links, play embedded or uploaded music/video, show pics etc. It can also be resized as a user wishes, then we generate code so they can embed elsewhere. We can have users register to change and update their app as well as having casual users just input their stuff on the main page of the site, generate the code, and take off with it without registering to use it (but they wouldn't be able ot change or update it). I would also like to see users login and change/update their app directly from any other of our apps on the web. Something like this (click the small blue box under the "smartlinks" section) You'll see the screen go dark, and a box pop up. We can use the same principal to log in. This way, the user can update their app from any other of our apps out there (including their own). They would never have to go to the actual site to change something. That, in a nutshell, will be the basic version. I would also need a simple web site designed around it. After that, we can add feedback / comments / rating mechanisms (seperate project), along with a few different "skins" or looks for the "app". But the basic version first. I was quoted $899 USD by the original team to do this. Not sure how accurate that amount is because they've always given me decent prices on everything I've done with them. Doesn't matter to me what country you work from. I would like to see references and examples of past work before I decide on hiring someone for the project. You can learn more about me from: myspace I also run and/or contribute to these sites: Notary gift Fuzznut Working with me will be easy. I know exactly what I want from this project. Feel free to contact me at anytime.
