info on final project

Thanks to all who responded to my Facebook post. I thought this might be an easier way to give more specifics on what's expected for my final project in my InfoTech class and see if anyone wants to help me out. My hand-drawn prototype and proposal are due November 14; the final project is due December 20. The professor wants us to have around 2 weeks to work on the proposals, so that means I need have a person lined up by the end of October.

I have to design or redesign a website for a non-profit organization, a small business or an individual. I have to apply the things I've learned during the course - XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, etc - into the design of the website. I'll be using WordPress as a CMS (content management system) for the website and customizing a WordPress theme, which means that it will be easy to update when it's done, like a blog is. For the assignment to be graded it will be hosted on the university's server. After it's graded it can be transferred to a server under your own URL or it can be hosted on WordPress. 

If you decide that you're willing to be my guinea pig, you aren't under any obligation to use the site after it's done. Hopefully you'll love it and want to use it, but if not that's perfectly OK. I'm obviously not a professional, I just need a person and an idea to build a site for. As to what I'd need from someone, this is what I know is needed so far:

- what the site's for / why you want or need one

- the different pages you want (at least three, examples: an about page, a contact form, a photo gallery, services offered, etc.)

- any images you want on the site, including a logo (or I can design one) - these can be emailed to me or you can give me a memory card w/ images or a link to Flickr, Photobucket, etc. The logo has to be in my proposal, the images and logo need to be in the final site.

- color scheme

After my proposal is approved, I'll need feedback from you on the content for specific pages, i.e. a bio for the about page, etc. I will be in Utah beginning December 6, so if you want to work on it in person, we can do that, but we don't have to. Whatever works best for you.

For my proposal I have to create a PowerPoint presentation explaining what the site is for and how I want to lay it out. I also have to show my hand drawn prototype which will all be critiqued by my professor and classmates, but ultimately what the "customer" wants goes - as far as my skill set will allow. :)

Thanks!
