Cancelled Paid on delivery

This request is for the redesign of the look and feel of a currently existing web site. Redesign has to respect current content. Web site is currently brandable by allowing customization of certain things (currently only top logo and background color). We want to allow more complex customization by the use of skins. By skins we imply different CSS files. The new look must include a set of up to 10 different skins that can be used by the different brands of the site. The site was created in ASP.NET but your work should only be in HTML/CSS and if required some flash and Javascript. All non visual programming and integration of your redesign and skins will be done by our ASP.NET coder so you should layer and label your work properly for easier use afterwards. You do not need to understand ASP.NET, however knowledge of it will help in designing HTML and CSS that will be easier to integrate by our coder.

Before bidding, look at the _sample_ of on our homepage (We have attached a zip file with our home page in HTML to this request). You should tell us how you intend to proceed in redesigning the look of the skins.

## Deliverables

1) New logo for [[url removed, login to view]][1]. This logo will appear on top of site and on top of emails and letterheads. That means that we need a logo that can easily be displayed on white backgrounds as well as on all of the 10 skins you will create.

- We need different sizes of the logo: icon (16x16), logo (120x60) and banner (468x60).

- An example of a banner we like can be found here: <[url removed, login to view]>

2) Design/Redesign of default web site skin + creation of up to 10 other skins for site branding. You will have to redesign the look of the current web site (the default skin) [[url removed, login to view]][1] + all the other skins by following the same 3 columns layout, menu on top and on the side, boxed sections, plus without changing text. However you have artistic freedom to suggest new things that improve look and possibly layout. Our current look is similar to competing sites like: [[url removed, login to view]][2], [[url removed, login to view]][3], [[url removed, login to view]][4] and [[url removed, login to view]][5]. However we want to differentiate ourselves as much as possible. We are looking for a clean and professional look like [[url removed, login to view]][6]. In short we need:

- New default look for [url removed, login to view]

- Up to 10 skins that can easily be changed by switching CSS file.

- Top logo is not linked to any skin and the logo you design in Requirement 1) should look right on all of the skins as well.

- Redesign can incorporate more then just CSS file: if javascript and flash are required for certain things for example. However we would prefer animated GIFs, and CSS tricks over coding techniques.

- We currently have 3 brands (3 skins) that will be assigned one of the 10 new skins: [[url removed, login to view]][7]; [[url removed, login to view]][1]; [[url removed, login to view]][8]

3) Design of HTML Email header and Letterhead template that will go with each skin. If possible, same CSS files should be used (as in Requirement 2) ) but we also need simple html files that will contain logo and a content placeholder for email/letter message. Since delivery of HTML emails can cause graphics to be disabled. Email should be legible with all graphics and enhancements disabled.

4) Redesign and addition of certain web site graphics.

- Redesign the “New To Rakeback?? graphic that appears in top right on all pages. This image must go hand in hand with skin and thus be part of the CSS of the particular skin.

- Redesign of homepage “offers logos??. Homepage has a series of images that are logos of other web sites. Currently all logos are in 113x60 format and we want to keep them that way so we can accommodate 4 logos per line. We want you to redesign them to enhance their clarity as much as possible in that small size. Not all of them need work. We will provide you with complete list of logos (16 total) and their source (web site). We want a standardized look for all of them, (colored logo on white background). Logos are dynamically displayed and are not linked to a particular skin. The logos must still look good on all skins. Any look/design change for the logos must be applied to all 16 of them. Note that some logos were created manually as source web sites did not offer standard logos. We do not have high resolution versions of the logos either. Note that by time of start of project we might add more logos (no more then 5). We expect that you take care of the new ones as well.

- In your redesign we expect for you to add certain images for certain pages. Make sure that these images look correctly on all skins and they should be part of the CSS files if different from skin to skin.

5) All graphics files should be provided in Photoshop format as well as .GIF and .JPG formats.

6) All HTML and CSS must be properly commented and additional instructions for coder should be provided in an instructions document.

7) For all compiled work, we need complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.

8) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

## Platform

1) HTML and CSS that will be compatible with top commercial browsers out there (IE5, IE6, IE7, Firefox, Safari, Mozilla and Opera).

2) All javascript work should also be compatible with with top commercial browsers.

3) Creation of Flash, sounds and moving gifs are welcomed as well.
