I need a wordpress site made. I’ll pay $150-180 for this work. I need it done in 3 weeks or less. I have the homepage psd made. You’ll chop that up and make the pages based off that.
The website must contain the following sections on the website. Each section has a bit of information under it regarding what we would expect as part of that section. The site itself can be created in almost any language that you are strong in, PHP, RoR, Joomla, etc. We would prefer PHP as that is a language we understand and can use to maintain the website after you have completed the project. We are also not opposed to using an existing Content Management System (CMS) that might be available (Joomla, WordPress, etc). We still want to be able to control all sections of the site through the CMS very easily, so take that into consideration when designing the backend. The site should also be fairly scalable so that in the near future when it becomes the #1 paddleboarding site on the web, we can handle the expansion and growth.
The look and design of the website needs to be very clean, we do not want it to be cluttered with information because that drives visitors away. This will also help make the site easily navigable and keep users drawn into the site.
