Studio.vg: Freelance writer for website copywriting (Anywhere)
Hello,
I’m a french wedesigner starting a freelance activity.
I’m actually building my portfolio/corporate site specialised in quality outsourcing activities.
I’m looking for someone who can help me write my “about us” and “why outsourcing ?” pages a better way than I do with my “not my mother language” english.
I know what I want to express and have sort of a structure of what I’d like my clients to read, but I’m of course open to any suggestions.
I’m looking for straightforward and short texts.
I have a budget of $100 / $150 max for what I imagine to be around 20 lines of text.
Once again I’m opened to any proposition as YOU are the writer.
caveware: Experienced flash Action Scriptor (AS3) for ‘Totally Unique’ online Application Development (Bristol - UK)
I am offering a great opportunity for an experienced flash developer(s) to help complete a totally unique online ecard application. I have completed extensive research to prove the solution I have developed does not currently exist online today.
What I have in place:
1) A working prototype built in Flash (AS2) to prove that the concept could be technically achieved and that it works effectively in principle.
2) I have completed a testing phase on a variety of users to address:
* The user experience – which has proved very positive.
* The failings and the successes of the user interface.
* The technical requirements and key features that must be met in order to bring this application successfully to market.
3) A non-dynamic, linear wireframe swf which demonstrates the final design layout and user experience.
4) A complete pallet of scale-9 skins with all states: (up,down,over,selected,disabled) including icons,glyphs,scrollbars, popup windows, accordians etc ready for the new construction.
My Requirements:
1) The developer(s) must be experienced in creating dynamically driven content in flash (AS3).
2) The developer(s) must be able to tie the flash application into the facebook.com and flickr.com Api’s in order to source user photos and pass back the application output to share with friends.
3) The developer(s) must be able to create a user account and payment system for the application. using Protx.com and paypal.
N.D.A:
I have not revealed exactly what this application does but successful applicants will be required to sign an N.D.A before I reveal the unique properties of the application.
Benchmark:
As a benchmark for judging if this job is right for you then ask yourself… could I construct a similar application to www.picnik.com.
My proposed application shares alot of similar features to this site.
Budget:
I have a significant budget for its development considering what I already have in place. I would also consider giving a percentage of net profits for the first year into the deal.
The application aims to deliver a product with a high comedy value which I believe (after my user testing) would be incredibly popular.
This is a unique opportunity to develop an ecard solution which currently does not exist online today.
I would be looking to launch at the end of nov 2008 in order to cash in on valuable christmas business opportunities.
I look forward to your interest.
