Oh noes: We need a designer!
Posted by Greg Kumparak on November 30th, 2007 at 02:50 PMI’ve mentioned it in the past: I’ve always considered Heliocity’s current layout to be temporary. And the one before this one, for that matter. Hell, Heliocity itself was kind of an on-a-whim idea that just blew up into something that I totally less-than-three.
Heliocity is growing up. Traffic is up, member sign-ups are on the rise. More and more people are lookin’ at this site every day - seems like the right time to pretty her up a bit. We’re prepping for a massive overhaul - completely new look, buckets of new content.. It’ll be bananers.
Good news: We’ve already got an amazingly talented artist drafting up some concept layouts. Bad news: He’s not a fan of template creation. That’s where you come in, assuming that you are (or someone you know is) a super-bitchin’ code head with experience with Wordpress/CSS/PHP/etc.
The Rundown:
- Gotta be experienced with CSS, PHP, and preferably with Wordpress theme integration.
- Portfolio, or any example of past work, is a massive plus.
- No real art abilities required. Most of that will be supplied - we’re just lookin for a coder.
You’ll get a crap ton of exposure and the credit you deserve, along with a life-time donor account on the forums. We can figure something out if you’re really awesome and require monies. But wouldn’t you rather do it for the snuggly feeling in your heart that comes from helping, otherwise only found while petting newborn puppies or saving orphans from fires? No? Well, we’ll figure something out.
Think you can help? Hit us up at designer@heliocity.net.

I swear to you I don’t work for this company, they are actually just a vendor I use at my job for just this type of scenario, when I have a design that needs to become a template for a particular CMS or a blog, etc. http://www.psd2html.com. Great pricing, very fast.

I actually like the scheme and layout Heliocity has now, to be honest. It’s simple but stylish, and I like the color scheme. Hopefully whatever you have in the works isn’t too crazy

@Vimka:
Would you call flying animals w/ lasers “too crazy”?
Don’t worry - the layout will be up for critique before its finalized.

But there’s totally nothing wrong with what it is now! I love it, it’s simple, beautiful. Great colors - don’t change it. The forum is jumbled, that could use work. Main page is awesome. Save some money, buy beer instead.

Hey, I highly qualify! I”m trying to build a portfolio. I’ve worked on several past projects but lack a portfolio. The latest of my works is a personal project but isn’t up because I lack a host.

- My custom theme/design
- Can take a look at my CSS: http://24.1.33.28/trickingit.net/wp-content/themes/trickingit/css/trickingit.css
- Would be valid xHTML if I didn’t use some WP template functions.

Thanks for all those who like the current design - I agree - it was mine!
