<p class=MsoNormal>WHO WE ARE<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Porsches 2 Oxford (<a href="http://www.porsches2oxford.com">http://www.porsches2oxford.com</a>)
is one of the largest and fastest growing Porsche events in the nation, with
400 cars on display from 17 states and Canada. The 2009 event marks our fifth
anniversary and estimated attendance should approach 500 Porsches. The
uptown Oxford, OH, location is a quaint college town along the Ohio-Indiana
border, and makes for the perfect travel destination for Porsche aficionados.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHAT WE HAD<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The past four years we used a static HTML web site with general
photo galleries and a registration mechanism utilizing a PHP script for form
submission and auto-responding. All of these pages are still online and
available.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHAT WE HAVE NOW<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve just installed Wordpress and several plug-ins.
Installation of Zen Gallery went seamless and all of our photos and videos are
now built and online. I have also created a registration form using a favorite
form plug-in, but the mechanism is not entirely complete. Design and aesthetic
wise, very little has been done to the Web site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHAT WE WANT<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’re looking for qualified WP talent to facelift the WP
installation, either through the use of pre-developed themes (Revolution, etc)
or your own design ideas. We need a proper navigation approach to the WP design
that allows for the migration of link information from static pages on the old
site. We can copy/paste the information, but we need a smart approach so there
is no ambiguity going forward in inserting archived material into the new
design. We have many links and sections from the old site we must migrate. We
also need a clearly outlined registration approach that goes beyond the simple
form and submission we have used in the past. I have installed WP Commerce but
have trouble making heads or tails with it. We need a mechanism to register
cars with personal/car information (pretty much already done) as well as a
commerce mechanism to “add to cart” a registered car along
with a couple of other event offers we give our attendees (road rally etc).
All “add to cart” items can be on the same page. Our goal is to
ensure the registrant need only pay through Paypal one time in one transaction
for any/all event activities they choose to purchase. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We would also like a custom WP Admin login page. This is the
last year the current event organizers will oversee the event before handing it
to other chairs, so we’re interested in covering all bases so the Web
site is highly marketable and sells itself as a highly polished finished
product when we demo it next winter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A qualified candidate must have a strong background in web
design/graphic design and be able to take concepts and integrate them into a WP
environment. This site must look and feel impressive. I come from a graphic
design background and use InDesign for most of my work. Finished product
must be able to translate our ideas to the finished product and/or incorporate
your own cutting edge approach. We are NOT looking for a cookie cutter WP site.
Proper attention should be made to masthead and other artwork significance. I
can provide considerable assistance in this area to help design artwork, or
provide past artwork for a better approach. If you are simply an “XYZ”
programmer without an eye for developing catchy looking web sites that stand
out from others, this job is probably not for you. We are not against any
approach that makes the job easier, including taking pre-developed themes from
3<sup>rd</sup> parties and cannibalizing them into a solution that works for us.
We firmly believe in the path of least resistance. Any work we can
do to make your job easier, we will gladly accommodate. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>TIMETABLE<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’d like to start the project in the next 14-21 days.
Project time: project must be done and all loose ends ironed out by 3/10/09.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please provide details about your qualifications and provide
samples of your prior work that demonstrates the skills and solution we’re
working toward. You may also provide an initial ballpark quote if you
feel comfortable, or choose to wait on us for further details about this
project.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance for your consideration. Drive safely!<o:p></o:p></p>
