Invision Power Board Skin re-design, improve and installation

Project: Invision Power Board Skin design, improve and installation: Bid only if you have experience skinning for IPB (invision power board). I am looking for someone experienced with IPB Invision Power Board (with gallery, blog mods). I need a "skin" created to my specifications. I am looking for a very simple skin (exactly like the ADOBE forums). The skin will have very few graphics, white background, and will use few subtle colors and a lot of nice layout designs and a simple--but neat interface. I am open to creativity, but I want the skin to work well, look professinal, easy to integrate, quick loading, savvy look. Take a good look at my current forum/site. Here's the link: [login to view URL] *See [login to view URL] / [login to view URL] for background info. I have the paid license for this forum. I want the skin to be uploadable, importable, useable with any IPB forum and Gallery setup (2.14 version or better). All pages should be easily printable from any computer. The output from PhP should be valid CSS/PHP/HTML/XML and should pass a CSS/HTML test with few errors (W3C CSS format). I may have some revisions and the final skin will be copyrighted to me only. I pay with paypal only. The time frame is 15-30 days to complete the project. You must have the newest version of IPB or be very familiar with skinning IPB to bid. Please provide examples of your work Invision Forums only please. If you are confident that you can do the work but do not have a current example of your work that is fine. Just explain why you are the best bidder for this job? The basic idea is a forum/gallery that has a white background, with a light-colored border, subtle background, easy-on-the-eyes interface. Simple design with content focused navigation and layout. Here are some examples of simple layouts: #1. [login to view URL];forumid=14 (adobe forums) #2. [login to view URL] (adobe forums) #3. [login to view URL] (nice) Those examples show the very basic text and layout. This project will be a "paring down" of the existing skin (css, html and php layout) to make it more simple, yet elegant. Use of minimal color and layout using tables, etc. Please bid only if you -- 1. can accept PayPal 2. have skinned IPB before 3. you can follow these instructions carefully! 4. Regular progress reports are required. 5. Prompt Communication in Emglish is key! More background sites: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Must look/feel nearly exact to the ADOBE FORUMS: Example: [login to view URL] Must include / work with / feature (features already exist but must be skinned): categories, Topics, IM Instant Message areas, Logins/logouts, Post Views, User Views, User Profiles, User Mod, Search views, Search User, All Search pages, Help Pages, RSS Feeds, ETC... Fully functional Main Areas (already exist but must be skinned): Index pages, All Gallery Pages, All member pages, Calendar pages, All My Controls pages, View New Posts, My Assistant pages, "your control panel" pages, all pages in User Menu, All moderator tools and pages, ETC... I have included an image (check uploaded image first) with instructions as follows: adobe design clone 1. The top of the page (header) is not needed because I wil design the header myself. You can put any thing there that fits for now, but I will need to be able to modify the main index for the header to show up on all pages. let em know when you want the header and I will give you one. 2. the border around the forum is not needed. 3. the users logged in is nice, but not needed. 4. I like the refresh button! 5. The time is great, but not needed. 6. the break line is not welcome either (remove). 7. This navigation area is very good and MUST include the gallery and the fetures included in the IPB forums standard links. 8. Title area must be editable and it will be "The Tropic Report" 9. This critical navigation area must be linked to the different areas and will tell the user where they are. 10. The folder icon isn't important, I will use my own image later. THIS PROJECT IS A REDESIGN OF THE 'SKIN' SYSTEM FOR MY CURRENT SITE, IT IS NOT A REDESIGN ON MY ENTIRE WEBSITE. I AM ONLY CONCERNED WITH THE CURRENT PAGES ON MY SITE, AND I AM NOT ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL FEATURES, OR OPTIONS. THE FINAL PRODUCT WILL BE A 'SKIN' SET THAT I CAN GIVE TO OTHERS AS NEEDED (PACKAGED AS A VALID IPB SKIN *SEE INVIONBOARD SITE FOR COMPLETE DETAIL ABOUT SKINNING). THE INSTALLATION OF THE SKIN WILL REQUIRE THE BIDDER TO ACCESS MY WEBSPACE AND INSTALL/UPGRADE MY SITE TO USE THE COMPLETED SKIN AND TEST ALL FEATURES FOR ACCURACY AND TO ENSURE THAT ALL PAGES USE THE NEWLY INSTALLED SKIN. AS A BONUS, IF THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED ON TIME, IS DONE ACCORDING TO MY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED HERE, AND THE COMMUNICATION AND FINAL PROJECT RESULTS ARE OUTSTANDING, THEN I WILL PAY A BONUS TO THE DESIGNER! (NOTE: YOU MUST SPEAK ENGLISH, PROVIDE PROMPT EMAIL RESPONSES (WITHIN 2 DAYS) AND PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL) Disclaimer: If you have any questions or you are not 100% clear on the project, please ask questions before bidding. If I do not get some solid bids or I get a bunch of cookie-cutter-cut-n-paste bids, I will cancel this project and post another day. Also, do not include any contact info due to GetAFreelancer policy! I will not deal with anyone outside of policy! If you are selected and the project goes well, I have other projects available. Thank you in advance!!! Good Luck!
