<div class="IPBDescription">Needs a design.</div> After some searching i've concluded this is the right forum.

#nsmapping is an IRC room on gamesurge, which offers support to NSmappers. We've been around for quite a while now and we have a number of experienced mappers including some with official maps amongest our mists. It was up to a while ago just an IRC channel however recently we registered ourselves nsmapping.net and got ourselves some hosting.

At first the plan was that i would do the design however i don't have the time with other projects and school and stuff to be able work on it any time soon and we'd like to launch the site sometime in the near future, which won't happen if i do the design.

Instead we're putting out an open call to all you budding artists/web designers to come and help us out by designing us a web site. You don't need to be able to do any coding for the site or anything like that, we simply need a design, which will probably just be one image, which we then then turn into a function website. Easy enough aye. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> This is an open call though and were hoping for a number of designs to be submitted so we can pick our favourite so there is no guarentee that we will use it.

A few requirements for the site:

-Should fit into a the window at 800x600.
-No flash.
-Preferably no fancy pants javascript stuff either. (We want to keep this site simple yet attractive, i'd rather it was easy to navigate and not the most attractive thing ever rather than a uber complex thing with gadgets everywhere but with a half hour search to find a tutorial)
-Links we need(no particular order): News, About, Staff, Tutorials, Resources, Downloads, Reviews, Forums.

Apart from that how it looks is entirely down to you though i will say trying to incorperate some in editor/mapping type things into the design would be nice but it is by no means a requirement.

We'd like to get the site up quite soon if possible but we have no set date and we won't try and rush anyone but just so you know we'd rather not have to wait 2 months for a design. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Anything else you want to know just ask and i can get you the info you need. Cheers for your help in advance and i hope some people are interested in helping. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    We don't need any of the code for the site. No html, no php or anything. A member of our staff will do that. We just need a design, which is simply an image. We can then turn that into a functioning website.

    I'll give it a shot although I don't really need anything else to distract me from my school work. I already have a busy week but maybe I'll mess around in Photoshop a bit when I get home. See what I can come up with.

    Ok, well I give up. I can't even make that great of a design for my personal site so I don't want to submit a design I know it's good. Also bumping this. the #nsmapping channel provides a valuable source to the ns level design community and it would be great for someone to help design a 1st class site.

    Of course i desire it, if i didn't i'd have not made a post asking for someone to design a site for us <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> I'm not looking to find someone specific to do it, this is an open call for people to submit designs to us and then we pick the one we like and turn it into a functioning website.

    Nice sample designs guys... very simple but striking with no crazy, spinny Flash navigation (oi vey).

    I'd say go with something ala <a href='http://andromeda.brokenedge.net/Exodus/' target='_blank'>http://andromeda.brokenedge.net/Exodus/</a> for nsmapping... it's everything you need and nothing you don't.

    updated mine so it has a footer, and is centered \o/
    (note: is your coder for the site using dreamweaver? because the image links will be really easy in dreamweaver using the hotspots. if not, there might be some complications)

    I like plagues <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh god. I sure hope Zazi uses Notepad or some other text editor, and not something like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. *urg*
