This project is for a redesign of an existing website which, as you will see, is very poorly done at the moment.
I am a local business person who is helping to source this website redesign on behalf of our local Girl Guides group as they are a non-profit organisation struggling for membership. Please keep this in mind when bidding as we are looking for good quality work but also trying to keep the cost down as much as possible.
The current, old website is: http://www.communitywebs.org/mountbarkerguides/
What they are looking for:
– A completely new but FUN design, appealing to girls and young women.
– Check the national logo guidelines when putting working on your design (see http://www.girlguides.org.au/leaders-and-volunteers/Resources/Logo-Guidelines.html)
– Optimized for 1024×768 (minimum) screen resolution, centred within the screen for higher screen resolutions and large monitors.
– Include the Twitter Profile Widget into the front page somewhere (see http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_profile).
– Prominent graphics linking to the group’s Facebook Page and Twitter profile (opening in new windows). The Facebook Page link is to be advised soon. The Twitter profile is http://twitter.com/MtBarkerGuides.
– Please make it easy to change the menu such as adding or deleting menu items, without it ruining the layout of the site (perhaps a vertical sidebar menu rather than a horizontal one at the top?).
– Change the Photo Gallery page to be a LIGHTBOX Photo Gallery, perhaps utilising one of the many free php/javascript ones available online (eg. http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2007/05/18/30-best-solutions-for-image-galleries-slideshows-lightboxes/). This needs to be easy to update for the website owner though.
– On the Contact Us page, include a working Contact Form for website enquiries and make the email address a graphic, rather than text (to minimise spam).
– Include the small or medium AddThis sharing buttons on the front page and News/Events page (see www.addthis.com).
– Include links the Girl Guides SA and Girl Guides Australia, as shown at the bottom of the current website, opening in a new window.
– ABOVE ALL, I WANT THE SITE OWNER TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE THIS WEBSITE EASILY! If you have any suggestions, I’m happy to hear them. I don’t know what WordPress is, but is this an option?
