Looking for artists and website designers

[morganskye]

I need to get LowCoCon's website up and running asap since we've secured the site. This means I need 1) a mascot (for the site and badges) and 2) a decent looking site (needs a forum, several 'info' pages, and a reg page linked to paypal). The site I can update myself once it's rolling. As for the artwork, I'd need 2-3 different poses of the mascot. You'll probably need to comment/email me about the details. (morgan skye @ gmail.com)

As for how I can pay you; There are several options. I can either...
1) set up crafts or artwork of yours for sale in the dealer's room at no cost
2) agree on a price and pay you after we start getting income from the con
3) free reg and crash space if you'd like to attend

Sadly we're broke right now, but it's something that we need as soon as we can get it.

Any takers? Anybody? Bueller?

If you can find hosting, I suggest using a TinyPortal/Simple Machines forum setup. It basically has the front page as a blog type template that is super easy to update then you can add pages from there. I use that combination for my singing group...here's the site: http://thegeekwithin.com/sakurairo/ The templates and everything are pretty much plug and play so once everything is set up, it's really easy to keep updated and everything and it's all free ^_^

(If you need help with setting that up, I can try to help....I make no guarantees that it won't take me a little while to figure everything out. I swear my memory is a sieve.)

What are the details on the mascot? I'm sure I could whip something up for you. ;)

"Southern-themed" made me think of a big, happy, shrimp...until I remembered that I'd seen that before, lol. Although, you could hire this guy if you decided on copyright infringement! :D

I think evilcatsterer has a good idea with a girl dressed as a crab, but of course I'm partial to cute. XD

For curiosity's sake, I looked up SC's state animals. Nothing really stands out other than a Loggerhead Sea Turtle, lol.

I vote for an armadillo with fairy wings as a mascot.

...ok, so i've got an armadillo obsession. And there really is such thing as a 'fairy armadillo'.

As to the website, I can do basic stuff at my current level. I'm still in the learning process. I could put together a basic website, but the messageboard aspect is beyond what i'm currently able to do on my own. Plenty of free 'boards out there, though. For MMHP we have our site, then we link off-site to a free messageboard thingy.
Registration page is a problem for my skill level....can't for the life of me get that damn form on Dusk's site to actually work like it's supposed to, so I doubt i'd be able to do a reg-form page for you. Unless there's an example of the proper code out there I could 'modify' to fit the site.

Prod me if you want me to do something websiteish. If you know someone with more site-building knowledge, then go with them. I'm not one to get offended over things like that.
