Good morning,
I have a website that needs to be
-re-designed (to look pretty and consistent)
-re-organized (files moved around and 301 redirects set up)
-add a forum
The site is [login to view URL] and has 271 pages. I will give you the login and password to the hosting site so you will be able to make the changes. The site is hosted by Midphase and uses cpanel for uploading and changing files. There is no rush on this project. The site should be completely built, then uploaded all at once, so that there is no big loss in advertising revenue. Then there will be a $30 bonus 24 hours later if everything is working perfectly by then (don't include the $30 bonus in your bid...that's extra).
Organization:
Right now, the files are in 2 folders, named "new" and "new2". There are also some files under the main directory. Isn't that organization stupid of me? Yes, I didn't realize that putting files into appropriate folders would be so important. Whoops! I need new folders to be created so that the site will be easier to navigate, then have the files moved, then 301 redirects set up. Then a sitemap should be created so that Google will be able to navigate the files easily.
Redesign:
The site design right now is very ugly and inconsistent. Well, it looks sort of okay on the first few pages, but the rest of the site basically doesn't have any design at all. I need the site design to be pretty and consistent. Feel free to design it any way you want, as long as the text and pictures are in there and the advertising is right smack-dab in the middle. Sorry - the advertising is really important so it needs to be in the middle like that. Please re-do the pages (using the same text, pictures, and metatags) in a pleasing way...you have complete design freedom in how the pages look, though, as long as they are able to be modified by me in FrontPage later, if needed.
Forum:
The site needs a forum so that visitors can talk about their rockabilly hairstyles. Visitors should have to log in to post (that security is needed so that there won't be a lot of spam on the forum). I should be able to collect their email addresses, too, so I can send them a newsletter later, if I want to do that.
Thanks so much!

p.s. If this works out, I'll have LOTS of other smaller re-design projects for you!
