looking for a theme creator

Sean_Fanelli

i just made my website vanilla and the only mc theme is relly crappy. is there anyone who can make me a cool Mine Craft theme?

peregrine

there are a number of theme designers. Send them your money and they can probably design one that doesn't fit your concept of "crap". Or write one yourself and hope that the people in your forum don't call your forum "crap".

what exactly is crappy about the minecraft theme?

Kasper

First off: What the @&%# has happened to etiquette and manners these days? Calling someone else's work "crappy" is NOT the way to go - it's offensive and deeply disrespectful. With that little rant out of the way, here's my suggestion to you, Sean:

Hiring a designer/coder requires a bit more than the description you've already supplied. Please iterate on what you dislike about the current solutions and try to describe what you'd like instead as well as your budget. Different clients have different needs and it's important as a designer/coder to know what he or she is signing up for - this being your requirements, your timeframe and your budget. The designer/coder will then, based on your description, be able to tell you what is and what isn't possible in relation to your requirements, timeframe and budget. Here's therefore my questions to you: What exactly do you have in mind about this project of yours, when will you need it to be completed and how much will you be willing to spend on it?

Regards,
Kasper Isager

how do you think this works? somebody is sitting here waiting desperately waiting to finally be asked by somebody like you (that can't even focus on answering the questions that matter) to make a theme for free, because another free theme is too crappy for your liking?

the question is: why would anyone want to work for you, after reading what you wrote so far

No thanks, not interested in working for free.

@fh111 @Rajio @peregrine @kasperisager lets forgive this guy.

@sean_fanelli the cost varies from $15 for specific themes on http://www.vanillaskins.com/ to $800 for adding very very specific and custom design.

So, in your case the cost will depend on the level of customness you seek and the time taken by designer.

Tip: Try negotiating with designer.

@blablatest I'd like to add that $800 is quite cheap for a theme. As an experienced Developer, I won't take jobs for less than $600 a day (this leads to funny discussions when I get job offers from Elance), and a good theme can take much longer than a day to implement.

@businessdad my post is based on little experience that I had

hahaha.... awesome. go search the interwebz and find a theme you like. then be sure to tell the developer how much you love their theme.

Learning CSS will not only save you money but you will be able to charge anything you like. It is also the only way to understand and appreciate the time involved.

If you want someone to make something for you, you're going to have to pay. If you want a ready solution that thousands of others can also buy for $39.99 FREE then you better stop asking for custom solutions and learn to live with the ones that are on offer.

Initially, I think this thread should be closed. since nothing new has come out out of it. But @422 your cartoon proved my initial thoughts to be absolutely wrong.
