Sorry I didn''t know that was something you had to do. I have just made it guaranteed!

Hey there,

You have an interesting project but your brief is a bit vague. You mention that the site needs some functionality (new coaches, new programs ect ect.) but these are really handled by plugins which can be bundled with themes sometimes but really require specialist development.

I don't think I can work on this project but I noticed you have made your payment guaranteed on the feedback of what is effectively a troll, someone looking to get you committed to paying even if you don't get the outcome you desire, which given the information here I would say is highly likely. I would advise you to refer the matter to the DC admin so that you can remove the guranteed payment until someone shows you show results, it protects you alot more as your project is quite complex.

I was also advise you that you need to consult with someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to wordpress development and reconsider your brief. You might get a good design here but (for the reasons mentioned before) you will likely not get a good outcome for your needs.

Just trying to be helpful,
Robert

Thank you for your comments. It might be that we misunderstand what constitutes a Wordpress design.

"themes sometimes but really require specialist development."

We are happy with the functionality provided by the themes that we mentioned. For example:

http://themeforest.net/item/fitness-club-responsive-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/5002140?ref=OnWPThemes

We don't need the designer to create the functionality. This theme has all the required plugins. But we do need the designer to take that theme and then change the look so that it matches the colours and design we want. Is that not something that can be done?

What we are paying for is for someone to show a really good design that can then be used to alter an existing theme which has all the functionality we need.

Can you please advise if this is possible?

Oh OK,

Well yes this is very possible, it would involve purchasing the chosen theme and then creating what is known as a 'child' theme, the designer would be able to have full control over the design and maintain functions/updates.

Apologies for not understanding this before, I though the sites were meant as inspiration rather than as a starting point. I would love to be involved in this comp. as I specialise in Wordpress customisation, it was only the functionality aspect that put me off...

Will have something for you soon,

Robert

Glad that makes sense. I will update the design brief to make it more clear.

Are there some themes that are easier to make child themes for? There are probably 3 or 4 gym based themes that have the functionality we want but if one is easier we are happy to buy whatever theme is wanted.


von NessDesign am Montag, 2. September 2013

To create a child theme in itself is a fairly simple process, having on control over the design depends on how the site is coded. As a rule of thumb I would say that all themeforest themes are very good in terms of being customisable but if you know what your doing then any site can be used. Is there one in particular you would like to see made into a 'child' theme and I can demonstrate?

Getfit seems to be a really nice one but it doesn''t say whether or not the classes and trainers are done via custom post types. (This is what we want)


Fitness Club is another that states explicitly that it uses custom post types for that content but I''m not sure which one is better.

Getfit certainly seems like it has the nicest features. It has a tabs system that might work for doing a "product tour" on the single program page.

Say for example we do a page called "Hot Shots" we want it to have a nice bright picture at the top and then underneath have a "product tour" of all the features of the class which I think would look very nice if done with tabs and a transition. You would click on a tab that says (for example) "More Interactive" and then it would have all the text and pictures in a box associated with the class being interactive. Then if you clicked on another tab with a different word the first box would "slide" out of the way and another would appear. 

See: http://solidsoup.com for what I mean. Except we would want it to slide from the side.

Hi Sir, you need just design (psd) only or coding too ?


von Besitzer des Projektes am Montag, 2. September 2013

We need a child theme coded.
