Quick question - would you like a modified blog template for existing blog software you already run or will this be a purely new design with a blog look?

I'll work on something asap for you.

 

[McDot]

This will be a Wordpress Blog. However, I want a unique design and not one of the thousands of available themes.

I would also consider a unique custom made theme instead of the psd file, but I might need the graphic components as psd for eventual modifications.

I can also set up a webspace with Wordpress installed and send you the ftp access for testing purposes if necessary.

Will we have to supply the wordpress backend code for the template or will you be doing this to the template yourself?

The original idea, is that I only receive the psd and take care myself of making a wordpress theme out of it.

However, if anyone is more comfortable working directly on a Wordpress theme, that is fine for me.

How many pages do you want?

 

[McDot]

How many pages do you want?

Should be flexible.
I guess somewhere between 3 and 5

 

[EliteDesigns]

Please give feedback.
I can change anything you dont like - colors, fonts, texts, etc.

 

[McDot]

Very straight forward!
...but where do the items like Categories, Recent posts, Archives, Meta and so on go???

Please have a look at what kind of elements are needed for a Blog!!!

 

[EliteDesigns]

Any better?

other than that, do you like the idea or would you like me to change some things?

 

[moinuddin102]

Just ad a footer to make it look complete please.

@moinuddin102
