Creative Updates to Website/Logo

This project relates to my current website at [[login to view URL]][1]. Please review it if possible. This project involves both design and some light programming skills. If you specialize only in design and do not do programming, please advise. Please also remember to include your portfolio in your response in order to be considered for the job. 1. Intro Page. Take existing PSD file and turn it into an intro page for my site. I will send a PDF mock up of what it’s supposed to look like. 2. Revamp Home Page. I would like to revamp the home page to make it more appealing. This will involve design and some light programming. I would like to have an attractive header, a welcome message (I will supply content), a welcome video message from myself (I will supply the video), some revolving photos of my books and products, an area for my current blog post and a link to where I am on the web ([login to view URL], iTunes, Facebook, etc.). 3. Re-do Current Titles Page. I will send a mock-up of how this page should look. We just need to add-in larger images of the four book covers, and add some links on the left side that link to individual pages that promote the books. The page can probably be done within the CMS. 4. Backgrounds for Pages. We need to develop 3 subtle backgrounds we can use on the pages within the site ??" this will help add a little more theme and balance. 5. Constant Contact Form. We need to add a new form from Constant Contact into the site. 6. Logo. I will send a mock-up of a logo I want to have designed. It’s mainly made up of fonts and I have an existing PSD file you can use to get started since it should match my other logos. Note: We will only accept bids from individuals/companies that send a link to their current portfolio of creative work. Please do not respond if you do not have a portfolio to show. Note: All files/pages/logos must be delivered in their originally designed format in Adobe programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign. Upon such, Kristene Smith, Incorporated becomes the sole legal owner of all creative work. ## Deliverables This project relates to my current website at <[login to view URL]>. Please review it if possible. This project involves both design and some light programming skills. If you specialize only in design and do not do programming, please advise. Please also remember to include your portfolio in your response in order to be considered for the job. 1. Intro Page. Take existing PSD file and turn it into an intro page for my site. I will send a PDF mock up of what it’s supposed to look like. I need you to upload the page into my CMS and add the logos in the appropriate places and link them to my two sites. Also, do not include the header/template that’s on the other pages. There shouldn’t be any headers or graphics other than this new intro page alone. 2. Revamp Home Page. I would like to revamp the home page to make it more appealing. This will involve design and some light programming. I would like to have an attractive header, a welcome message (I will supply content), a welcome video message from myself (I will supply the video), some revolving photos of my books and products, an area for my current blog post and a link to where I am on the web ([login to view URL], iTunes, Facebook, etc.). I am looking for a creative, soft and layered look for this page and I will send examples and can possibly mock something up if necessary. The page will need to be loaded into my CMS and include instructions on how I can edit and change the revolving photos and video myself. 3. Re-do Current Titles Page. I will send a mock-up of how this page should look. We just need to add-in larger images of the four book covers, and add some links on the left side that link to individual pages that promote the books. The page can probably be done within the CMS. 4. Backgrounds for Pages. We need to develop 3 subtle backgrounds we can use on the pages within the site ??" this will help add a little more theme and balance. For example, the Current Titles and Retailers pages have a nice, subtle background graphic behind the text. I want to develop a couple more of these to lay on the other pages, and I will send a few photos from which you can make designs. These will need to be programmed into the pages I designate. 5. Constant Contact Form. We need to add a new form from Constant Contact into the site. Right now, I’m only requiring email addresses in order to sign-up for my e-news. I want to change this to a full form that asks for contact information from the visitors so I can build a mailing list and get demographic information as well. I will send my Constant Contact username and password so you can create the form and drop it into an existing page. I will send you the fields that I want included. 6. Logo. I will send a mock-up of a logo I want to have designed. It’s mainly made up of fonts and I have an existing PSD file you can use to get started since it should match my other logos. I will need the logo to be editable (letters across the bottom) and will require instructions on how to change the letters for future use.?
