Project Detail

Description

The site you build will serve as a template for several planned portal-style sites. The sites are primarily focused around a blog dedicated to the site topic, with secondary emphasis on product reviews and promotions. The main purpose of the blog is to drive traffic to the site with fresh, daily content that is interesting to search engines. Examples of sites under consideration focus on digital music (MP3 and iPods), video games, movies, automotive, digital photography, etc..

The overall look of the sites will be similar in style to popular portal sites such as my.yahooo.com, msn.com and iwon.com. Each are primarily text-based using minimal graphics, with white or very light backgrounds and soft colors (light blue, light purple, silver) in the primary palette

I have already designed the structure of the site and layout of the pages (homepage plus 3 or 4 sub-pages). What's needed is for a professional to take my mock-ups and convert them into a working site that I can take from there. Once you build the site, I need to be able to edit and publish it using an off-the-shelf WYSIWYG editor and whatever software is required to manage the blog, so please consider that in your proposal (I'll use whatever tools you recommend).

When I accept your proposal I will send you a Word document containing the mock-ups and site requirements, as well as all graphics. This should be a fairly quick and easy project since I know exactly what I want and have already gone through the design process.

Thank you!
