I need a unique, custom Joomla or WordPress theme designed, coded and installed (in test and live environments). The theme must be plugin/widget-ready and the design should be appropriate for a site related to the MMORPG World of Warcraft. It must be able to support several widgets/plugins. I have a logo that will be provided later, but I am looking for a creative designer to create a simple, attractive, professional looking theme.
The theme should be very ad-friendly and allow for any combination of 728/468 banners, 160/120 skyscrapers and a rectangle ad.
I need the theme designed more as a CMS (not a typical blog).
The front of the site will contain news, articles, a featured video and links. The main feature of the site is our “guide” section (static category and sub-categories).
I would also really prefer someone who can install a script to bridge the database for my existing vbulletin forum site with the new Joomla or WordPress installation so my forum users can log into the new front page using their existing vbulletin logins. By default, only the Admin account (to be disclosed later) should have access to post or comment on the site.
Please see the following websites for an idea of the type of layout/design ideas I like:
