I have a Drupal website in development and am seeking quotes for a custom theme and a small amount of graphics work.

I'm a developer myself and have built custom modules for this site (they have theme support enabled). This project is entirely for customising the appearance of the site; no work on modules will be required.

The goals of the project are:

  • A theme for the website that gives the website a distinctive, personalised character. This is most likely best achieved through use of small graphics and icons that match the visual theme, as well as good CSS styling. I have a downloaded theme on the site at the moment, but it looks too generic. It needs more personality and individuality.
  • I have the main website logo in mockup form, but I'm no artist and it will need to be redrawn to add professionalism.
  • Integration of other related images I will provide. I'm flexible on whether they should go in the theme, but they are available as possible resources.
  • The theme must be flexible width to fill the whole browser window.
  • The theme must be 3 columns, as I'm using a lot of blocks.
  • Primary links as tabs along the top of the page. Right now there are 2. There should be room for 4.
  • Secondary links as small links along the bottom of the page.
  • Site slogan, shortcut icon and mission statement should be supported (mission statement on the story lists/front page as usual - not on every page. I think this is standard).
  • On the dev site right now, the theme colours are black, white and yellow, especially a dark gold colour. I'm a big believer in creative freedom, but I'd like the site to focus on that colour range, especially keeping gold as a prominent colour (you can change the black and white if you have a better idea).
  • A lot of the blocks on the site right now are looking very similar, as they are lists of links. Something needs to be done to give them a bit of variety for fear that the site starts looking like a telephone directory.
  • In the top right of the site, I need some static links (Home, Help, Your Account, etc).
  • All artwork used should be images we are legally entitled to use. Ownership of any custom made artwork should belong with me. Any coding done for the theme I need a licence to, but do not require exclusive ownership.

Also, I will require the following to visually integrate some shopping cart software with the Drupal theme:

  • Small (20x20) icons for a shopping cart, save cart, load cart, empty cart, help.
  • CSS classes for:
  • - buttons
  • - form input fields
  • - HTML table of info
  • - HTML table of info, highlighted cells
  • - Warning message

Please contact me with any questions, portfolios, or quotes and time estimates. I will share specific site information with parties who take a serious interest.

Thanks!
