I have a web-site that is finished but the design needs help. In other words, the functionality is complete, and you will be pointed to a live web-site to use. Your job will be to design a user-interface for that site that is aesthetically pleasing but more importantly
extremely easy to use and navigate.
What I am looking for.
Someone who:
- Understands usability and user-interface design
- The importance of layout and flow, and how users scan pages. Where to put important content, what's important, what's not
- Understands the role that typography and fonts play with regards to usability
- Someone who actually understands well-structured HTML and CSS, and how javascript interracts with them. Avoids using code-generating programs like frontpage or photoshop (note: you will not be expected to do any Javascript, just make well-formed mark-up that the site's javascript can easily interract with)
- It is crucial that you understand how to maintain a strict separation between mark-up (content structure via HTML) and style (colours, fonts, typography, spacing, layout, positioning via CSS)
- Someone who wants to and can get out of the "adult market" head-space and do something different
What I am not looking for:
- A photo-shop guru
- Someone who is good at making things look pretty or impressive but hasn't the slightest clue when it comes to user-interface design
- Someone who has designed 80 million cookie cutter TGP sites and is "too" stuck in that mold
I am looking for a user-interface designer with simple artistic tastes, not an artist with a little bit of UI knowledge.
If you can meet my requirements,
and you have a portfolio that can prove it, and not just "fancy" graphic-intensive headers and stuff then send an e-mail to:

Include your portfolio,
including non-adult stuff you've done, and a little bit of text to confirm that you've read my requirements and understand what I'm looking for.
