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...

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
