Hi Jack -

Thanks for writing. I'm new to this and I don't even know how to answer your question but I will do is forward it to the rep from DesignCrowd who is working with me and ask if he can help me with. I certainly want to be fair to the designers. I also need to learn more about the mechanics of websites.

I hope to be back in touch with you soon,
Bruce

Hi Jack - I sent a note to the designcrowd support staff asking for help in understanding your questions. The support team responded quickly but because I have little understanding of the technical aspects of web designing I need help in understanding what the response by the support staff. I''ve asked a friend to help me with this. I appreciate your patience. I have now guaranteed my project.

Hi,

Interesting concept. I've taken a look at the details you have submitted and would like to give you some information.

From the sample websites I have a feel of the kind of website that you may want.

Here are some pointers:
1) For 2 or more of the sample websites, it is actually a one long page website with a navigation pointing to a page b elow.
2) In website construction there is a Design part and a Coding part. The design is the visual aspect and the coding is how we can transform the visual aspects into a functional website.
3) For Wordpress the complexity is expanded further for coding as Wordpress is a Content Management System, which is like a system which, depending on the purpose of website, may be beneficial.

Ok lets cut to the chase,
I can only provide a design in psd for your website. In order to get your website up and running, you would need to take my design or any other designs to a web developer to code it into Wordpress for you. Usually they offer installation services as well. Some designers offer coding here, so you would need to explicitly state that you want coding too!

I'll submit a web DESIGN (non coded) if this is ok for you.

Hope all goes well,

Regards,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I am new to all of this and I just don't know how things work. It sounds like I would need to pay another person to code your design for Wordpress. I am in the arts and though times have been good in the past, the arts have taken a real beating over the past few years and I've been struggling. In fact, the website is being funded by a friend in the corporate world. I can't ask for more money. I am open to other ideas and would like the best possible site withe the money I have. If you need to make something much simpler, I would understand. I want to work with Wordpress because I need the freedom to make text changes on my own. I'd even like to be able to add images of new shows I am working with. Could you come up with something that looks attractive and would fit my budget?

Thanks again for your thoughts. You've been very helpful,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for letting me know of the situation.

I have little experience in wordpress, but it may just do the job.

Please check what I can come up with, as I base these designs in what I can do.

Best Regards,

Charlie

Sounds good. I look forward to seeing your design.
