Court-Records is looking to make the second major overhaul in its history, and we need your help to do it! We're currently working on a redo of C-R's main site that aims to not only give a fresher look to the game content and coverage you know and love, but also gives the fandom a place to share, search, and discuss their fanworks and theories.

We are looking for a web designer who has experience both in design and implementation. You would be looking at the backend components we have in place with our backend dev, Henke, coming up with an improved design to represent them, and implementing that design with Henke providing the hooks to the backend.

Some questions and answers:

Q: What skills/experience will I need?
A: Basic web design skills (CSS, PHP, HTML) are a must. Experience with Javascript, Less-CSS, and SQL will be a significant help, as will familiarity with setting up a dev environment on your own machine so you can do local development and testing.

Q: What is the timetable for this project?
A: At present, we don't have a set date for this release. However, we will be doing our best to compartmentalize the work such that you'd only need to be taking part in the development of the site layout and wouldn't be bogged down by other elements (such as content generation.) In other words, we hope this will only be a few months on your part.

Q: Didn't I see an ad like this about a year ago?
A: Yes, unfortunately. Due to a variety of factors, our last stab at kickstarting the site's redesign stalled. We've adjusted our organization since then; part of the reason we're looking for a combined designer/frontend dev this go around is to help reduce how many parts need to be working in sync to make progress. If you applied then and weren't selected, feel free to drop us a line again!

Q: Is this a paid position?
A: Court-Records runs on a bit of a shoestring budget, so we can't provide professional-level compensation; you'd be doing this for love of the series and some AA swag, like the rest of us. Sorry - we understand for a lot of people this is their job, and if you can't do the work for financial reasons we don't blame you. If you're cool working like this, you'll of course be credited on the site.

Q: Are there other ways I can help?
A: We're currently reviewing what needs to be done for the project, and may open up additional slots (copywriters, etc.) in the future. For now, though, we're focusing on getting a frontend dev first and foremost.

If you're interested, please drop us a line at courtrecord@gmail.com (no, there's no s in that) with examples of your work.

The only thing i can help you is to make an idea about the design...but my PHP/HTML language is as poor as my english.

I don't think bumping a topic on a somewhat serious matter just to make a joke is the wisest of choices, you're going to raise some false expectations. On another note, I'd love to help but web design is not my specialty, I'm more like your usual programmer. Good luck with the redesign!

I actually wanted to say that i could help talking about sheets and design (yesterday i thought well about a possible new style...).
Then yes, i made a 'joke' if we can call it, but as you can see it's under spoiler.

Anyway, if my post has no rights to stay, then my apologies to the site. I don't think i can delete my own post, so i ask to the moderators to do that.
