$30-250 USD
Paid on delivery
I need someone to design and install a VERY creative and beautiful [login to view URL] self-hosted blog for me.
The industry that I work in is fashion/lifestyle/travel - I am a stylist and a writer, so my blog must reflect my own sense of style and aesthetic.
It will incorporate elements of modern luxury and also some vintage style ... vintage textures, vintage postal images, polaroid style photos, lots of imags, etc. Think creative scrapbook meets fashion magazine!
It must be super-creative, very stylish and with lots of unique design elements and quirky details.
WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO AS PART OF YOUR SUCCESSFUL BID:
1. Design the Wordpress blog so that it looks AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL AND INTERESTING.
You will receive specific direction from me as to the general layout, my requests for what I need it look like and do.
I have quite a few sample websites for design inspiration. I don't want these copied, as I need something completely original, but I have examples of things I like, textures, colours, fonts, etc.
2. The design must include mapping out pages for content I have written, categories, links, sections, archives, etc. so that it works and functions extremely well.
3. Set up Google analytics, SEO optimization, XML Sitemap, etc. so that my blog post titles and written copy will start to come up in search results.
4. Set up social media links/buttons - facebook, digg it, tumblr, redd it, etc. - so that my readers can easily share content.
4. Include a selection of good plug-ins to make the blog very easy to use, encourage readers to stay, etc. I want to be able to schedule my posts for publishing on a later date,
5. Install it on a server for me and teach me what I need to know to access it so that I can write and publish my own posts.
6. Offer me some ongoing support for the first 30 days to help me understand how to use it.
Basically I need you to design and install everything, so that it's ready to go for me to start writing and publishing my posts! In the beginning, that's all I want to do.
Once that's done, I would like to be able to employ you on a regular basis to help me update things, move things around, make tweaks, add new features, etc.
YOU MUST HAVE:
1. Great English WRITTEN language skills
2. Great communication skills - able to understand my ideas and communicate with me effectively.
3. Ability to tell me your ideas of how to make it better and offer good advice and support.
4. Latest STABLE version of Wordpress
I will provide examples of other blogs that I love the design and layout of, along with a selection of visual ideas, colour themes, inspirations, mood boards, etc. but you need to be able to interpret that to create something unique and amazing for me.
I want to use really creative and beautiful fonts - not just the standard ones - some of which I'll provide in the beginning, but I'd also like someone to be able to find great fonts and creative ideas, suggesting them to me to help me make the blog as amazing as possible. Creativity is essential!!
When bidding, DON'T just 'copy and paste' me a standard message as I won't respond - to be considered please supply examples of actual previous blogs you have designed, or at least mock-ups of things you've done for other clients and/or yourself.
Budget: Initially small, under $200 - but with the opportunity for ongoing work to help me with support, posts, images, organising and tweaking the blog, etc.

Hi, I am new to freelancer.com, but I am an experienced web designer. I think we have similar sense because I am a young lady, too. ;-) I like fashion and anything that is beautiful & girly. I also have a great graphic designer in my team. All jobs will be done perfectly. Let's have fun!
Hi! I'm Maggie, and I'm a blog designer, wedding planner, freelance writer, and photographer.
I am able to provide you with a blog that meets all your requirements. I have made over 30 blogs for other people and myself. I can get the entire blog done in three days, complete with polaroid photos and creative layout designs.
I'm always by my computer, and will work efficiently and quickly to meet your needs. I'm very flexible, and if there is anything additional you need done to the blog after I am finished with it I will be happy to fix it free of charge.
I take lots of artsy polaroid pictures in my spare time, and, since it is one of the requirements for your blog, I'd incorporate those in along with fun vintage layouts and anything else you might feel you want.
This would be a fun project for me to tackle, and I think you'll find that I don't waste anytime in getting started. If I'm chosen to create your blog, I will begin work on it immediately and have it done in 1-3 days. I'm asking for 3 days in case there is anything you wish for me to fix on the blog. I'd send you links over the course of the days showing you what I've done so far, and if you want to rearrange something or take it out all together I'd be happy to do it for you.
Thank you for considering me, and thank you for taking the time to read my bid. I'm anxiously awaiting your reply.
Thanks,
Maggie
