CSS Design = WordPress – oDesk

My need : For Index.php 1) I have a index.php file, which I copy directly from this site : http://www.pofcasestudy.com/freegift.php . I needed its header design (Black) to be transform into this color (#1b5891). Remain the height of the header. 2) I do not have footer design . I need a footer design similar to digg.com (Light blue, with my links. Same height ) 3) I need a call to action button with the text : Activate Now > (Something similar to this mediatemple.net/webhosting/dv/pricing.php but the size must be similar to the current button : Get Instant Access Now) 3.1) I need 2 button design, will will result in a darker button when mouse click on it. e.g. Twitter Sign up button. 3.2) The color of the button will be similar to this : http://www.campaignmonitor.com/ < Try it for free button 3.3) The button design before click should be more glossy (mediatemple.net/webhosting/dv/pricing.php) , and after click should be more darker. Both of the button color should be the same. 3.4) In short, we are copying http://www.campaignmonitor.com/'s button but we are version before click and after click. 4) For the text box above the button, I need the textbox design to be like this (Refer to paint file : textbox) 5) Change the box's border to the slimest. (Refer to paint file : slimest) For style.css I have a wordpress theme that I did some simple modification but for deeper css task, I can't do it. Go to : http://insidersinformation.com/members/?page_id=7 This is the current theme in working. 1) I need this page to be design. (Refer to paint file : overview) 2) I would like to have my countdown timer like this : http://1plusdesign.com/articles/add-countdown-timer-website/ . ( The background of the countdown timer should be white and the number should be black ) 3) As it is a wordpress plugin, you will need to integrate the countdown timer with my template tag ( Refer to instructions.pdf page 3 - Template Tag ) 4) for the 2nd box, I would like to have the design of digg. ( Refer to inv.jpg ) 5) In out case, we will have 3 rows instead of 2. 6) The content for the 1st row : To unlock the next kickass product, simply invite [viral call=”next_level”] friends. 7) The content for 2nd row : Replace "3 invites left" in inv.jpg with [viral call=”friends”] friends Invited! ( Remain the design ) 8) Both "Invite a friend" and "Give your invites away!" is a link. So if you click "Give your invites away!", the 3rd row will be the same as what you see in inv.jpg. Else if you click "Invite a friend", it will be a label and a textbox fill with invitation code only. 9) So, delete "Make my news better", replace "Invite a friend" with "Your Invitation code" and REMAIN "Give your invites away!" . 10) If they click "Invite a friend", show this : Your Invitation Code : Textbox [viral call=”invitation_Code”] 11) Else if they click "Give your invites away!", show the same as what you see in inv.jgp, but with my code [viral call=”invitation_link”]. 12) Change the "tweet" & "Share on facebook" button to "Copy Link". Something like this : http://www.getcoreinfluence.com/thanks.php?email=hgtdsht@gmail.com 13) Make sure the link is really copied, iminate the button design of "Send" (Log into your digg account, look to your right , there is a "Send" button under the "Invite your friends" area ) and replace with "Copy Link" 14) The whole idea is to copy the design of digg and untegrate with my code. 15) As for [viral call=”details”] boxes, I just need the design of its border. ( Refer to paint file : border.jpg ) 16) I do not have footer design . I need a footer design similar to digg.com (Light blue, with my links. Same height ). Applies to the whole of my theme. Note that the css design is for this page only, it is not for all other pages in my wordpress. My friend to me to do this : give each input a class="" tag Here are some criteria I expect from you : 1) Speedy/ Fast Delivery 2) Well Organize 3) Willing to improve the work if I am not satisfied. 4) Hardworking 5) Update me about the progress 6) Clean design 7) Reachable 8) Punctual 9) Committed to your job 10) Automatic ( You don't have be told to do what you are suppose to do ) Warning: You will not be paid if your work quality is subpar. If you think you are up for this job, please include a "Yes, I'm ready to roll" in your application description.

Renovate a custom WordPress template – oDesk

I have a client who's specifications have changed significantly for his web site, and needs things changed. The site is http://myfitnessstudio.com.au/ The requested changes are: - no flash, have 1 picture that does not move - only have 1 set of tabs, keep the about us, service, blog, contact us - remove one one one, remedial etc (they can be popped under services) - take the 2 special offers off on the left - raise the opt in box to above the fold - blog page has lots of random info on there atm, can we delete that and say coming soon? I need a fixed price quote with work to commence ASAP and complete first draft <7 days, and final draft <14 days. My budget is only a generous estimate - much lower bids are expected, and will be considered most favourably.

Custom WordPress Site – oDesk

I need someone to design and setup a custom WordPress site based on my specifications. Nothing super unusual here. I need the equivalent of 3 blogs (one for news, one for a standard blog, etc.). There will need to be standard features (e.g. tags, RSS, facebook, twitter, search, archives, etc.). I have already sketched a rough idea out with notes, and I have several references sites showing what I want. I'm a designer myself (I'm just really bad at site design), so the art and design must match by specifications precisely, and look extremely professional. Your portfolio must show high quality design work, not just the ability to use templates that others have created. I will also need a little bit of instruction on how to maintain the site (post new blogs, etc.) as I'm new at WordPress. I need the basic site up and perfect no later than Thursday of next week, because the site launches on the 20th. Ideally, I would also like to add other features to the website, such as a shopping cart, a forum, and connection to a NING site. I would also like all three of these connected with the same username and password so that users can login once and control their mailing list status, and can connect their forum profile to their NING profile, and maintain their shopping cart, etc. HOWEVER, these features are not essential at the moment as the main priority is just to get the core elements of the site up on time. If you can do these extra tasks, we can work on them after the site launches on September 20. If you can do the additional development (with the username/password, shopping cart, etc.), please provide the amount you would charge for that as well. In other words, give me two different quotes. Please be very good at communication. I will need updates at least daily because we are down to the wire, and I need to see the progress letting me know that this will be done on time. Thank you for looking at my job posting, and I look forward to working with you!
