Looking for a web designer/developer

[XGargoyle]

The shoemaker's son always goes barefoot.

Here's the deal, while I used to have a major in web design, I don't really have the motivation and time to create my own website from scratch. Having said that, I'm looking for a web designer and developer who would like to create a mugen site for me.

Don't expect to be paid or get any private mugen creation from me as exchange. All you will get from me is my eternal gratitude and the privilege of making the website of a mugen legend

Requisites:
- Website must use HTML5 and ensure it is compatible with all common browsers
- Color main theme should be blacks and greens
- Navigation will be in 3 levels mostly (main>section>content) or 4 as much (main>section>sub-section>content), but I'm open to other navigation layouts that the candidate may propose
- Candidate doesn't need to create the whole site. He/She only needs to create the templates for each level and the main page, as I will populate all the content and create the individual pages
- Candidate will also be in charge of designing the website's logo/banner. I will provide a briefing on it once a candidate has been chosen.
- Website also needs to have a CMS system, so I could manage easily its contents, mainly the news, but depending on the CMS and the candidate's idea for the website, this could extend to other content (such as characters). Server is PHP based. You can use existing CMS tools, no need to creat one from scratch
- No deadline, but all I ask is commitment from the candidate to ensure he/she delivers what is agreed.

- Design must be somewhat original and appropriate to a mugen-related site. Do not use a pre-defined wordpress template or a create-your-own-website app, as I will figure it out. Again, don't copy-paste another website and pass it as your own design. Chances are that I will find out, and besides I can also copy-paste an existing site, so no need for external help on this matter.

If you are interested, PM with samples or websites created by you, so I can evaluate your skills.

Thanks!!!

Who would seriously do that for free? It's a slap in the face even mentioning that you could do it yourself.

Also not to be a dick (or in the case im wrong, then just ignorant to the fact), when was the last time you even released anything? Why not just work on the site slowly and steadily?

I would've simply ignored this thread but the incentive (rather lack thereof) kinda irked me. A measly 5 bucks would maybe garner more interest in doing this (working under the assumption no one has taken the offer to do it)

Not to be rude or an ass but you are expecting an awful lot for a handout and someone donating their time.

This is the equivalent of some random guy with an idea for a full game but wants a team of people who will be responsible for all that goes into creating it while that person in charge sits back and does nothing.

Anyway good luck hope you find what you are looking for.

No offense taken, and I appreciate your comments.

- I'm thinking in examples like Mattasaur, who basically designed the websites of almost every mugen creator community back in year 2000 (examples in http://ngmc.retrogames.com/ or http://web.archive.org/web/20001109033900fw_/http://clientes.netvisao.pt/mluisado/main.html)
- I'm also thinking on guys who are doing their first steps on web design and would like to include my website in their portfolio.
- I'm thinking on folks that would like to do it on their spare time, in the same way that I release mugen creations, and do not get paid for that.

I don't believe that would be an awful lot of work  to do. As I said, I will be in charge of creating all the pages and content. The only thing I ask from the candidate is to create 3 or 4 template pages and have them linked/coded/embedded with a CMS. If you consider this an awful lot of work, then better stay away from the real world.

Also not to be a dick (or in the case im wrong, then just ignorant to the fact), when was the last time you even released anything?

Not to be a dick, but the last time I released something was less than 2 months ago: http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/babidi-majin-vegeta-normal-vegeta-updated-release-updated-280515-166851.0.html
Also, I don't the see why releasing recent stuff (or lack of) is essentially required to have a website

Id be interested, I just finished some classes for Dreamweaver Im not the best by any means, but I do have Photoshop/Dreamweaver experience. I currently working on my first "paying" website for my job ( I work at a Dr's office) Once I get home I can send over some examples of stuff I've done.
