Social Network for Hoteliers
DESCRIPTION:
I am looking to build a social network for hotels, talkhotels.com. I have already negotiated the buyout for the domain name and currently own it. Our mission statement is:
- “Engage with other hoteliers, find the products and services you need, unlock a world of knowledge and insight, and promote the causes you support.”
- I envision my site broken down into five main areas: Home (Lobby), Meet, Learn, Shop, and Give. I’ll discuss further via phone/email under an NDA.
- I’d like to have at least a beta version by November/December 2010.
Some similar projects that I like design-wise, concept-wise:
http://www.culinaryculture.com
http://pregnancy.wisertogether.com/
http://www.mailchimp.com
http://www.fitbit.com/
http://www.ewedding.com/
http://97bottles.com/
REQUIREMENTS:
- Simplicity in design; less is more.
- Vibrant graphics and user interface.
- Utmost security, privacy.
- Feedback; if some part of my idea doesn’t seem feasible, please tell me so and explain why.
Job Perks: I am willing to give part ownership in the product as an incentive to help build the best possible business model and user experience.

UI Designer
REQUIREMENTS:
- A solid understanding of Grid Layouts (960 fixed & fluid).
- Usability: Your work doesn’t belong in an art museum – it belongs on the web because it is used, not just looked at. You understand the importance of links actually looking like links. You’ve read, or at least understand, Steve Krug’s “Don’t’ Make Me Think Web Design”.
- Web Typography: You understand fonts that are available on the web today and what fonts are supported by CSS technologies (@font-face, Typekit, etc..).
- Dedicated: You really give a shit about what you do. You want it done right and you’re willing to do what it takes.
- On Time & On Budget: You’re budget doesn’t have to be dead on (I understand extra time can be needed during a project).
- You can design for multiple devices (not just a desktop browser). You’re inspired by designs like this and this.
- You’re a Fireworks guru (makes life very easy for us developers to slice what we need). Photoshop applicants are obviously still considered.
- You’re a Mac user and you’re available on iChat (we love to video chat). Or at least AIM.
- You can work from wherever you want, when you want and how you want.
- You can manage yourself and make good judgement calls.
- You have a sense of humor. You know what 1337 means.
- Deliverables: For each project, I expect an organized png (or psd) with a design that conforms to a grid.
What I’ll give you to work with: A Basecamp writeboard with a the full outline of the site and a writeboard for each page (or an existing page with the content). As far as rates go, you tell me what you think you’re worth.
Rates: If your work justifies it, then I’m all for it. The more points that you’ve met above, the better chance you have at meeting that rate.

Freelancing is my life. It's what I know, it's what I'm good at, and I can't imagine doing anything else. You can call me "Freddie the Freelancer"… because I'd prefer not to use my real name for reasons that I'll tell you about in a moment.
