452100 Build a website - Joomla

Hello, We need someone that's very good with Joomla and web development in general – we want to give you a lot of creative space and use your know how to make this template outstandingly good. We see this project as a starting point – and we will be using your help with creating Joomla sites on future projects if this specific project is successful. In rough short detail of what we need is shown below – we have much more detailed information we will send to you once we get the project going (detailed mockups images): 1. Build an outstandingly good Joomla site (or customize a exiting one which we buy – we recommend rocket theme) Build or use a Joomla Template that you customize to our needs (Rocket theme or any other) that can be used on phones and look normal when browsing with your home computer. We look at rocket theme templates and they have nice features for phones which work nicely. When users login with Phones the website detects this and then changes the resolution to fit the phone. If we use a rocket theme template we can utilize this. We will send you a mockup on how we wish the site should look like – nothing out of the ordinary within that mockup. 2. Build the website and the menus we need and load text from an external .xml file The webpage itself needs to load data from a .xml file we have exported from another system. We have another CMS system which generates these .xml files – what we will do is to copy this .xml file to the Joomla www root / or to a specific folder which we can agree on. The text in the webpage should load text from this .xml file and display it nicely. Not all parts of the webpage should load this .xml only on a few places / otherwize the standard Joomla code should be used. 3. Build a members area / users meeting place We need to upgrade Joomla´s user manager to something fancy – we looked at: [login to view URL] But you probably have other ideas/solutions but if needed we can buy these components and customize them so they fit. The meeting place (members area) main objective is: Look nice when users login and present them with information: • Show the latest changed items/things. • Show information on who is logged in. • If the users want to they should be able to send messages between each other. • Administrators should be able to send “mails” to all users. • We like the look of Meego Linux start page – maybe we can copy some ideas from this start screen: [login to view URL]://www.linuxnov.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/meego-netbook-myzone.png&imgrefurl=http://www.linuxnov.com/sv/linuxnov-news-102-distributions/&usg=__CoSrvxPxKXJQd3QZcr2HwTcEsic=&h=768&w=1024&sz=233&hl=sv&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=J60Trpk6ZoDKuM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=168&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmeego%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dsv%26sa%3DN%26rls%[login to view URL]:sv:IE-SearchBox%26biw%3D1900%26bih%3D948%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=341&ei=BeXHTOGzE8qdOuLtrPEI&oei=BeXHTOGzE8qdOuLtrPEI&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=61&ved=1t:429,r:23,s:0&tx=166&ty=71 • A general “chat board” or messaging system is needed / much like a facebook/site where latest information/text is shown. • We leave you with a lot of creative space here but it's a meeting place for members and it should look nice. 4. Build calendar booking system We need a booking system (calendar) which the registered users should be able to use and book things on. Users should be able to book certain days for certain types of activities by using this calendar. Some smart way of handling the booking system is needed so its clear to the user if a calendar/day is booked or not booked. 5. Show a flash map and load items in flash (calling a javascript) We have a flash map built with flash *.swf – we want to able to link objects within joomla to this map. For instance when a user clicks on a store – a javascript calls our flash file and show information on where in the map this store is. We know this can be done with javascript – and its already being used now on other sites we have and you will get all the details you need for this once project is a “go”. 6. The admin area in Joomla – redesign We also need to change colors and remove certain button in the Joomla admin area – but most things will remain the same. So the Joomla is future safe when we upgrade to newer versions of Joomla. 7. Integration of Twiiter and Facebook On several places within the homepage we want to show a twitter/facebook button/icon. Once these buttons are clicked information from these services should show/be displayed. Finding good twitter components and Facebook components to Joomla is needed. 8. Filearea We need a place where files can be stored uploaded/downloaded – I recommend we use the Joomla component DocMan since I think this component can do all that we need. [login to view URL] Closing comments: • For many of the items above we can use already existing Joomla Components If you need/think so – and that cost is something we pay for of course and not included in the offer you make. • Please send some references on other sites/art you have made before – we want this site to be out of the ordinary and look extremely good. • We will setup the server for you once project is “go” – and you will get SSH and FTP details to connect to this server. And we can assist as much as possible – even with graphics (images) if needed. Thanks for help, Best regards, Johan
