Hey guys!
I need a coder and a designer, to work together, maybe somebody who can do both.
So, I am in the process of fulfilling a summer resolution to get a personal website up and running. I want to the website to sort of be a portal to my personality... a showcase of my photography, art, and writing, as well as a blog, possibly a biography, my musical interests and talent, and stuff like that. Just something that is about ME (not to sound vain or anything...).
I have found a few websites that I can show you guys as to what I want done. Not everything will need to be coded, as there can be some integration of certain appz (like WordPress as the blogging tool).
I found this website of this actor to be sort of how I would like the website to be in terms of being "personal" and having photos and pages that show who I am:
http://www.corbinbleu.com/index.html
And then I found this website for the more artistic/modern approach to the design aspect:
http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/
You may find this corny, but hey, it's for ideas! But at the Jesse McCartney website you have the photo cutout and sleek look and easy navigation:
http://ahollywoodrecords.go.com/jessemccartney/jesse.html
Finally, this is sort of how I want the integration of the blog and photo galleries. This is essential, to be able to use WordPress and a photo gallery that is either coded by YOU or just using a pre-made script. The implimentation ideas can come from whatever is possible through coding:
http://www.arhisstudios.com/
and for another idea on WordPress integration:

So there you have it! I need someone who will do something EXTREMELY high quality. I am not afraid to pay, although I am on a budget, but I don't know exactly how much something like this will cost. I need something that is of course professional and that pleases me as I will be using this as a personal portal to my life, but I also want to be able for it to be affordable as I am a high school student not a doctor! As for the images on the site, I will probably need a logo made, but that's not a concern at this point. I would like photos of myself on either the header or somehow integrated into each page so that the picture is different (sort of like the Corbin Bleu website) and a possibly rotating/changing image on the Homepage so it's not a static image (unlike the Jesse page which is static). I WILL TAKE THE PHOTOS AND INTEGRATE THEM INTO THE PAGE! I just need a design made that accomidates the photos that I will be placing there. So as long as there is room and a way to put them there, even if you use a crappy template for now, just so I have time to get the photos taken and have a feel for the atmosphere I want to create.
If you think you are up for it, just send me an e-mail to internalstorm@gmail.com with your quote on price and a portfolio as well as your ideas as to how to make this work. I would like a preliminary design in Photoshop first as to how it will look, and then coding can come later.
IF YOU ARE JUST A DESIGNER WILLING TO DESIGN THE PAGE ONLY, THAT'S GREAT!
IF YOU ARE A CODER WHO IS ONLY WILLING TO DO CODING BASED ON THE DESIGN, THAT'S GREAT!
I need BOTH of these people, and only if you are capable of both should you do both jobs.
Thanks alot and again my e-mail is internalstorm@gmail.com !
