Require assistance with design update


Recommended Posts

I am looking for someone who is able to help me complete a design update (based on Neowin 5).

That person must be skilled in HTML and have some knowledge of XHTML validation, Javascripting and CSS. The design would also need to be ported to Invision Board template system, so knowledge there is also required.

No time waster please, we have a set deadline and I need this person to be available for the coming 2 months.

Most importantly, you must WANT to do this it will advance Neowin and break us from our 5 year design lock that we have now. So to cap it off. If you meet the following requirements:

HTML (skilled)

XHTML Validation

Javascripting

PHP (some knowledge)

Graphics

Can be available for the next 2 months for a couple of hours a day

If the deadline is met, there will be a monetary reward of an undisclosed sum (no it won't be four figures)

Neowin design SHIFT (based on Neowin5) frontpage status.

Contact me on PM, no time wasters please.

Sounds neat. I would be more than happy to help, but my creative skills are sadly lacking and I have no experience with graphics. Though, if you're looking for someone advanced in PHP knowledge, I'd be happy to help.

Hope the person who signs on is talented to realize that nice design (Y) Three figures is pretty average for a project of this size, so I hope that this person wants to help Neowin out as well.

We need someone who will be able to help code the new side-menu system. I want to be able to hide specific menu items and have the site remember which menu items are opened and closed. The options need to go in a pop-up assistant for the updated My Neowin menu (and portal links).

Well, I'd be glad to help out, however I do have my finals coming up next week and several other activities which are going to require a lot of time as well...

I'm skilled with HTML, validate everything as XHTML transitional at least (I try to do strict :p). I'm decent at graphics and know a couple of things of both java and php - so I guess I'm not a #1 candidate anyhow... I do like working templates for forums though and have some experience with invision's system...

It sucks I don't meet all the requirements :p

"based on neowin5"?

Was neowin5 ever released?

:s

where's that preview screenshot of Neowin 5? (shoud me here but them links are dead...) Does anyone have a link?

and what does this "based on neowin5" mean? I loved that preview, don't know what to think about the new screenshot at the top of this topic...

What actually happened to that neowin 5? Something about the people working on it had no time any more?

Why try and pursuade some of the top graphic gurus on the forums to help, you know, the guys who make the top wallpapers and visual styles?

Amazingly talented guys like Gant and KoL.

As far as I'm aware, it's not really the graphics that are the problem. Flish nailed the design pretty well, but it's the coding that they're really needing help with.

So is SHIFT replacing Finity? Or is it a light theme?

I still like the shift idea.

And I would love to help, however, I really doubt I'm up to the skill level required.

i would LOVE to do this, but i lack 1 of the skills.

HTML : i know HTML like the back of my hand. And have been coding HTML for more then 4 years.

XHTML Validation : Sorry, i don't know xhtml. :(

Javascripting : I know how to implement, and modify javascript. I don't have much experience in writting fresh javascript. but i have background knowledge of how it works.

PHP : I'm freaken awesome with PHP. it's my new choice of web design. I have examples, my website, and a major CMS project i have been coding.

Graphics : I love photoshop, and my skills are pretty good with photoshop. Im currently using Photoshop CS2.

I dont know if your looking for all those things.. but i lack in xhtml.

I would also like to help. I am currently working at a local web design company. I have these skills:

- HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, ASP, RSS, JavaScript (Can modify and done collapsible menus before), ASP.net (VB), MSSQL

- All my new websites are designed in XHTML 1.0 Transitional or XHTML 1.0 Strict Valid

- PHP i'm not bad; wrote my own CMS, news scripts and some of my websites are DB and PHP powered.

- Graphics i'm not too bad I have photoshop and use it at work most the time

php/javascript - lol I wish, just started learning both very recently.

(x)html and css I have about 7 years knowledge, and graphics well wihout blowing my own trumpet too much I'm great at that too - phpBB templating system Ive played around with loads but no other premade things. Though they cant be veyr difficult to learn.

I had some spare time so i had a bash at a menu system (mainly to see if I could make it cross-browser). Check it out: here. It's a bit buggy but the basic functionality is there. It remembers what panes were open when you last viewed it and opens them when you next visit the page.

I can't wait till the new design is launched! :D

looks good :yes:

but i think he meant that the preferences are saved in a database when you change them, hence the required php knowlegde, so you can have the tabs you want open wherever you are around the globe :)

EDIT: works in IE7 btw

Yeah, i'd thought about doing that in AJAX but its a lot of extra leg-work for the same output as the cookie method. Relieves the strain on the server imo...

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
