I need a custom theme created for a Wordpress Blog and it's attached Simple:Press forum. This job includes the artwork, the logo work, and the WP theme design.
I do have another blog in mind to point you towards for the LAYOUT and Functionality of the wp theme, however, it will be your job to create the look of this one.
## Deliverables
Only experienced WordPress theme creators need apply. This job is about more than just the artwork.
**
About the Site:**
The whole blog/forum website is about particular set of fruits, which I will tell you in advance. It's not just apples and oranges, but 7 or so specific fruits that the whole site will center around. Finding images of them online should be almost easy. -But I'm counting on your skill to put them together in an appealing way to use in this theme and logo.
So in a nutshell, your job will be to find the (legal) fruit images, find & edit or create the WP theme, create the logo, put it all together, and hand over a finished theme that I can install on both the WP site and its' forum.
Both the Blog & the forum will be a 3-column layout. All functionality and placement of links/buttons/menus should be just like this website:
[login to view URL]
Take note that our main blog doesn't need many advertisements, but their forum is pretty much exactly like we want ours to be.
Also, I could do without that very top-most blue bar they have there, and instead have more room for graphics showcasing the fruit.
Naturally, the same header panel can show on the blog pages as it can on the Forum pages.
**
Search Engine Friendliness is a Requirement**
Finally, keep in mind that all of this site will be Search Engine friendly. It will also be your job to name your artwork and file folder names to be put on my server in a totally SEF manner!
(Example: Save your artwork file named like "[login to view URL]" and put it in the folder named "fruit-images". Never use underscores, always hyphens.) I will be happy to offer more help on that subject if you need any.
**Expected Delivery Items:**
Before payment is made, I expect the following items to be delivered:
1. A complete wordpress theme that I can easily apply in wordpress version 2.7.
2. All artwork, including backgrounds, a Logo, bullet points, corners, the works, for the entire theme.
3. Any other elements needed to extend the look and feel of the theme onto a simple:press forum, version 4. (And install it easily to the same site.)
4. All other raw graphics you have been working with, such as the individual fruit pictures.
That's it!
