Wordpress Design Brief
Summary
I am accepting designs concepts for my personal blog and web presence – http://www.daviddewolf.com. The Blog, subtitled “Humble Confidence”, provides a platform upon which I have established a personal brand and market my services as an board member, executive advisor, public speaker, and thought leader.
The successful design will balance an executive and professional design with a bit of innovation and passion. It will match the style and colors of the logo provided and adhere to the requirements listed below while providing a visually creative, appealing, and user-engaging experience.
A few blogs that I consider to be well designed and similar in content to what I’m looking for include:
• http://michaelhyatt.com (by far the best representation)
• http://tentblogger.com/
• http://www.sethgodin.com/
Technical Requirements
The design must be implementable in WordPress using “Standard Theme” (http://standardtheme.com/). Customizations to Standard Theme are allowed, but should not be extraordinary.
The design must be implementable using clean and standard html/css techniques.
The design must include a standard header that leverages the attached logo
The design must include a search engine optimized footer layout that includes various links. The footer must include a series of small print links include a permission policy and a privacy policy.
The design must include placeholders for advertisements on each page. Any standard Google Adwords sizes are acceptable.
The design must include a standard site template/shell and at least 3 internal page designs.
Designs should be submitted for (at minimum) the following pages (detailed below):
• Home
• About
• Boards and/or Speaking pages
Information Architecture
Primary Navigation / Pages
Home
The home page will be primarily comprised of blog content. A layout and design is required for each of the following blog types:
• Standard – a typical weblog comprised of text and graphics
• Quote – a short snippet which includes a sentence and an attribution
• Video Blog – a video surrounded by
• Podcast
• Image – an image only (with caption) blog
Each blog post should contain social actions – the ability to tweet, share, etc. . .with the click of a button.
In addition to the core content, the home page should provide a brief introduction and standard picture and/or video. Other optional elements may include a tag cloud, search box, etc. . .use your creativity
About
Contains basic “about me” information. This page will serve as a template for all other “standard” pages. Please include the basic elements for a website in this page. These should include:
• A minimum of 3 Headings - H1, H2, and H3
• A bulleted list
• A numbered list
• A table
• An image
• A call to action (typically an image/button)
Boards
A special page dedicated to the boards I sit on and organizations I serve. There should be two sections – one for current board positions and one for previous positions. Each position should contain a logo, company name, and short description.
I imagine the organizations logo being in full color for the current positions but grey scale for the previous, but that’s just an idea, not a requirement.
Speaking
A special page dedicated to previous and upcoming speaking engagements. The layout may be similar to the Board page. No need to submit a separate layout for it unless you believe they should be different. Each speaking engagement will include a logo, event name, and short description as well as a date/time and whether it’s open to the public or not.
Contact
No need for a separate layout unless desired.
Other Elements
The Blog should provide quick access to the following blog “categories”:
• Business and Entrepreneurship
• Leadership and Inspiration
• Innovation and Technology
• Faith and Family
The template should include prominent links to each of my social media pages:
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• YouTube
• Facebook
• Google+
The template should include a link to the blog archives
Target Market(s)
