Hi Gang,
I am the administrator of DemotivationalPics.com .. Coppermine has been good to me.
Despite getting over a million hits per month I'm still using the basic Rainy Day theme. (With lots of plugins and a few home-made hacks)
It's getting to that time where I need a new theme to make things simpler for the users. I've removed things we don't use like Private Albums and even Categories ! (I just don't use them ... except for this one time for a contest)
I've made mock ups of the layout I would like, (attached to this message). Please keep in mind I'm no artist, the colors and the look need to be improved on. This is mostly to demonstrate the layout I want. I want the site to almost always fit in a single page with the slightest amount of scrolling up and down necessary. In a way I'm replacing the main page with the displayimage page now. (You'll probably understand when you see the images I've attached)
Things I think might be complicated :
- I want the albums list to be text links on the right side-bar. (If we need to manually put in the links to the albums, I can live with that)
- Above every picture you're viewing, I'd like a button to view another RANDOM image from that album
- when first going to demotivationalpics, on the main page I'd like the main image to be a random image from an album I will select.
I'm sure there's more. I have given this a lot of thought, please don't be shy to ask how I plan on having certain things work. For the most part everything I added on the mock-up is already existing and working on demotivationalpics. I'm just moving things around.
I also understand that this is partly a job for a theme, and partly a job for misc. coppermine programming. (I'm ok having one person do the theme, and I'll have Foulu do the programming - he rocks)
Final Details :
My Budget : As cheap as possible, I'm not a rich man.
however this needs to get done and will get done. If people are quoting high prices I might need to wait a month or so before starting. If it's very affordable I might give the go-ahead right away. I have no problems paying in advance as long as it's someone who has gotten work from here before. (I won't leave you hanging Andre, I promise!
)
Time Frame :
Whatever the person I hire says it will take is when I'd like to have it delivered.

Send pricing my way,
Thanks !
