What I need or require:
I need the graphical layout designed for a male self-improvement website. The core functionality of the site is already in place, so I am looking for someone with HTML/CSS and graphical design experience to work with on developing the look and feel of the site. Ideally, someone who has already worked on a similar site based on male empowerment/self-improvement. SEO experience is a plus.
What I already have versus what the provider will build:
Although this will be a brand-new site, the back-end is already taken care of for the time being and has very similar functionality to www.stackoverflow.com. I will be working with whomever I hire by sending them wireframes with design ideas and so forth (I would also like to hear design suggestions and improvements.) I have not written all of the copy yet for the site, but I am working on doing so and can work with the designer to highlight sections where different copy will go.
Other context/requirements that providers will need to know:
Initially, I will be hiring someone just to work on the home page. Depending on how that goes, potentially for the rest of the site. I am looking for an edgy and sophisticated feel (probably 80% black), similar to www.askmen.com. I would like the site to appeal to upwardly mobile men in the 18-35 demographic.
Timeframe for delivery:
I need to have this done ideally within 1 week, 2 at the very most.
