Hi everyone,
I am in need of a fully coded Vbulletin skin to match the look of my new design -
www.notsounknown.co.uk/cs
The design must match the site exactly, so when a user moves from the site to the forum it is seamless.
The skin must be fully coded, as if it was a skin I bought, so all I have to do is install it.
I would prefer someone who has worked with VB before. It may be possible for me to grant access for development but I would prefer if all we had to do was upload the skin.
Now for the specifics;
* The full header must be included, which includes the large 'featured' banner. The top right 'cart' area will eventually be replaced so for the time being please just use the background image for that area.
* The breadcrumb navigation should remain where it is and be incorperated with the forums... eg so the 'home' link is still there and points to the main homepage.
* All colours and fonts should remain the same. The fonts in the graphics can be found at
http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=2159 and
http://desktoppub.about.com/library/...c_gfordner.htm however I do not want these over-used on the forum.
* Any areas where there are right/left hand columns should be made to look the same as the columns on the site.
* All post/topic graphics and buttons should be replaced to match the site, think using the NSU headphone logo etc.
* Table headers etc should match.
* As the header is already quite large I think it might be a good idea to create a right hand column (as on the site) with a box for 'Forum Login' (same as 'Login' on main site) and a box for the forum menu (currently along the top). This would then mean that there is some extra space below for advertising etc if I need it in the future. This is just an idea though, you're the designers.
I have never worked with VB myself and have yet to install it.
I would like you to provide watermarked screenshots of your designs - if possible not just the main page (eg post pages etc).
The contest will run for a minimum of 1 week (17th Jan) and maximum of 2 weeks (24th Jan) and the skin should be provided to me within 1 week of the deadline, payment will be made once the skin has been received - or we can do half before and half after if you prefer.
The prize is $300 payed by PayPal.
I feel that the prize is fairly substancial so I would like to see some good professional designs for this one.
Any questions please ask asap. I will try to comment on your designs as much as I possibly can.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing some great ideas.
Thanks
Simon
