Help wanted: Web design. Please read inside

[Nikolas]

Hi again!

Once more a new thread about web design, and what do you know from Nikolas (bliah...).

but listen, please listen.

This thread is in gen-gen because it has nothing to do with games, niether AGS. But this is a great place and I love you, so I thought of asking here first.

What do I need: A web designer, for html, not flash. The simplest the better.
But the design has to be perfect. Not complicated, not 'artistic', but...perfect (can't find words to describe it).

At the moment I'm working on a very lengthy tutorial about orchestration, in the form of a book. Downloadable as pdf file.

The book will (at least try to) be advertised everywhere in the net, all music places, and planning on notifying all the unis (at least the Uk ones), and why not eveyrwhere there is the word music in.

It will be free to download. Completly free, not shareware, nothing missing, no problems, not even donationware.

In general we are talking about a music related book with text, scores, and mp3s. Around 100 +-50 Mb (don't have the mp3s yet). I'm expecting/hoping for 1000s of downloads at least the first few months, after that dunno. But yet, it is something that gets out in word of mouth so it could be steady...

I have found (not booked yet), web hosting with bluehost (I think that this is the name), which offeres 750 Gb (!) per month, for something like 100$ per year. I find that this is enough! Heck if the downloads reach 5000 in one month, I will start having adds in! The trafficing will be hectic!

Anyways...

Financially:

At the moment. I don't have anything to offer, apart from credtis in the site, and in the book (thank you to: blah blah... and especially the guy who did the site blah blah).

but I plan on finding sponsrs, in which case money will be made, and if made I'm really honest (as everyone hopefully knows here), and I will honour anything said.

However I can't make any promises that I will eventually make any money. I can make a promise that if I make I will also give some to the people who helped me (some=if I make 100,000$ I can give 1000$ for a simple web design, isn't it fair? if I make 10,000$ I can give 100-200 $, not any more. If I make 1000$ I can pay the web hosting and get some beers to celebrate nothing lese... a definition of something).

There is no deadline, but it needs to be done in a matter of urgency. I hope to have the site up and running mid Octomber (remember it is simple stuff I'm asking nothing too fancy...)

Why am I doing this?

Because this is missing from the internet as a free tut. I have seen at least 10 different threads, about music and orchestration. Hopefully this book will cover this lack of tuts in that particular area. Plus it is a big advertisment to my name.

That's about it.

So anyone interested:

i. Post
ii. PM
iii. chat (nikolasideris @ hotmail.com(MSN) and nikolasideris @ yahoo.gr(Y!))
iv. e-mail at the above

EDIT: And while we're at it, any ideas on names?

The books is about orchetsration. Maybe the site www.musicorchestration.com ? www.orchestration.co.uk ? something else? Dunno...
