Contract Graphic Design Projects for Graphic Designers & Web Designers

What I need or require:   I need a website with basic information such as About Me, Resume, Travel, etc. It should have about 8-10 pages maximum. One of the pages will have no more than 15-20 travel pictures, in a form of a slide show. It is intended to be a website to aid in my job search, and the link will be included in my resume and calling card. What I already have versus what the provider will deliver: This is a brand-new site. I’ll need the full design done in a minimalist, elegant, and professional type of look with minimal graphics. The content will be provided by me. Other context/requirements that providers will need to know: In terms of style, I want a clean looking website with good use of white space. I have an inclination of the use of typography in order to enhance the appearance of the site. This site will be viewed mostly by employers in the business sector, therefore it should be simple and understated yet one of a kind. Specific expertise/background that I am seeking: Experience with search engine optimization is preferred, as well as the appreciation of typography in executing a proper design. Of course, reliability, communication skills, and professionalism is a must. Timeframe for delivery: As this is a fairly simple assignment I’d need this project to be running 2-3 weeks after an established start date. In no particular order, below are some sample sites to get a basic feel of what I have in mind: http://www.alistapart.com/ http://jasonsantamaria.com/ http://jontangerine.com/ http://www.holgerkoenemann. com/ http://www.typography.com/ http://www.coudal.com/ http://www.andyrutledge.com/ http://www.creativeinferno. com/news/ http://www.sushiandrobots.com/
