Looking for a web designer for guild social site.

[Stanislav]

Hey everyone.

My friend and I started a new project to help out the MMORPG community, specifically related to guilds. If you have ever been to Excellence's website, you might have seen the DKP script that Excellence uses. I have received hundreds of e-mails regarding the script, and a lot of guilds/linkshells are already using it.

Since the demand is so high I decided to start, Guildwork (guild teamwork) with support for multiple games. The idea of Guildwork is to create a place where a guild leader can have every tool he needs to manage his guild and at the same time have social aspects to the site. Some of the features include

• Loot distribution: An example would be DKP, but since not all guilds use DKP we want to make it so you can manage your guild anyway you want. We will allow people to create their own formulas for how their guild functions, and the system will automate everything.
• Schedule: Guild schedule localized to every user's timezone with an API so people can create programs to pull data straight into games. (Example: Excellence's Schedule ticker for Windower)
• Recruitment: Leaders will be able to create application forms, which people can fill out. Once filled out the applications will appear in the guild's member area and members of the guild can comment and vote. People will also be able to make "resumes" (Didn't know what else to call it), based on past gaming experience and put them up for guild leaders for find them.
• Integrated forums: A custom forum software made by us that directly integrates into the whole Guildwork site, and especially each guild. However we want to make sure it has all the features that any normal forum would.
• Integrated news/blog: An obvious feature, but of course it has to be there since most guilds like to update and post achievements.
• Integrated Ventrilo: We are going to try integrate Ventrilo into your guild profile and obviously rent out servers (Paid feature).
• Guild profile: Guilds will have profiles similar to let's say Facebook, with recent achievements. And once we have some good data we will be able to rate how active guilds are, and all kinds of statistics. (Similar to ex-online.com, but in a larger variety).
• A lot of customization, we want to allow guild leaders to be able to control everything (including page templates) so they can and make their guild page feel like home. Domain parking will also be possible in the future.
• This is a very short list of what is part of the plan, but it should give a basic idea.

Our team has good programmers, however we lack a dedicated designer that shares a passion for online gaming as we do. We are looking for someone who is willing to join our team an dedicate some time to something that will greatly pay off in the near future. If you are interested in joining such a project then feel free to contact me (my info is in my BG profile).

If anyone wants to see what we have so far and give any input.

Forums | Guildwork

The forums is what I have been working on, its nearly competition, however if anyone is bored enough then please feel free to test for bugs or recommend features that a forum should have.

Keep in mind thats a simple quick design we put together just for development purposes and that is why we are looking for a designer.

(I didn't know where to post this so I asked Ksandra and she said this forum would be fine)

Thank you for reading =)
