Hello All,

I'm looking to develop TWO (2) FULLY EDITABLE websites, preferably with an easy-to-use CMS-Contact Management System (Joomla is preferred). Designer will create and design 2 town / community websites. I'm still working on colors ideas and open to suggestions. My sister will design the logo, but if you are a strong logo designer, let me know. The two sites can be an exact copy of each other, maybe different colors, but the theme, layout, etc. will be the exact same. The webcam, colors, site name, logo and photos will be different since it's two different towns, but EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME.

I want a VERY MODERN, clean looking, simple site(s) not crowded / busy and very professional looking.
I don't want JUST A PROGRAMMER, I want an experienced DESIGNER, who can give me samples of colors, fonts, and suggestions.

I want it to look similar but not exactly like these sites:

http://www.sunny.org (I LOVE THE LAYOUT OF THIS SITE, it does not have a busy sidebar, but has the related links under Category Tabs---My site will require most of these links, plus weather and a webcam)

http://www.portsmouthnh.com (This sample site has boring colors, boring font and is a little busy---BUT ALL THE CONTENT AND PAGES I WANT including a webcam link)


Anyone with the added skills of SEO (proven and verifiable SEO experience) will be considered first.
I was told the best design should be in PSD and HTML+CSS, but I'm not sure, as I'm not techie. Since I'm not very techie, I'd like EASY suggestions / ideas on how to get ALL THIS DATA uploaded and current on a daily basis.

These sites will have clickable AFFILATE links and banners, anyone with experience developing business sites integrated with AFFILIATE program links will be given priority.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:

* I want to look at your portfolio (don't send me list of half working sites) I want to see fully active sites.
* YOU MUST HAVE at STRONG FEEDBACK RATING TO BE CONSIDERED.
* Preference will be given for those who can provide MOCKUPS.
* Preference given to those with strong, proven, verifiable SEO experience
* Preference given to those who have strong experience with Affiliate programs can provide sites with affiliate links
* I want to see samples of your easy-to-use CMS (Contact Management System)
* Sites must be FULLY EDITABLE via CMS (Contact Management System), I don't want to have to hire a programmer to do anything. *****PREFER Joomla CMS. I have two websites with self-designed CMS' and they BOTH have problems and script error codes when making changes. Really not looking for an admin CMS created by you, but prefer an out-of-the-box PROVEN CMS.
* I want a webcam on both sites and need to know how to link to our local webcams, (also, I may want to change the webcam from time to time, since we have 50 in my town, so I want it to be EASY to change the link on my own).
* Please include your TIME FRAME for completion with your bid.
* Must have strong ENGLISH communication skills both speaking, writing, spelling and grammar
* Your bid will be for the design and development of BOTH SITES, almost carbon copies of each other except for Color, Name, Photos, and webcams


FUTURE BUSINESS FOR YOU ONLY: I'll be developing 4 other sites over the next couple of months, if you do a great job, the business will be yours (as long as you have created similar sites). I will post the job FOR YOU ONLY. The sites will be:
1-Fitness site, with the ability to upload videos
2-a sales website which sells coffee and tea
3-A private investigator website
4-A job board


Thank you for bidding, I look forward to working with you.
