Read MoreDesign competition for the official CMSMS site
Posted September 17, 2010 by Daniel Westergren
Here are the guidelines:
- Edit: What we're after is a great design for cmsmadesimple.org. So although a full XHTML/CSS markup would be preferred you can just as well submit a Photoshop image. We are aware that the timeline is tight, so if you have a great design, don't let any details below scare you!
- Your design should preferably be provided as a CMSMS Theme. That is, export templates and stylesheets with the module called Theme Manager (can be installed through the Module Manager) to an xml file.
- You may also provide a Photoshop layered image, although that makes it more difficult to win...
- If you include images with a theme, link them to the uploads/images/<themename> folder in the stylesheets and pack the theme xml file and the image(s) in a zip or tar file.
- Themes should be valid XHTML 1.0 transitional and CSS 2.1 (minimum). That means no hacks, or as few as humanly possible, and same appearance in all major browsers.
- No Flash or other propritary technologies - avoid Java and JavaScripts to the greatest extent possible.
- blink tag is banned
- gif animations are just as bad as flash
- We would like to see a Web 2.0, clean and accessible layout.
- We would like you to use CMSMMS tags in the templates. These include but are not limited to {sitename}, {title}, {breadcrumbs}, {search}, {content}, {footer} etc.
- You may include content example pages in the zip file.
- The general navigation structure should be similar to the current site structure, but flexible enough to be able to adjust.
- Everything included in the theme must be the designer's original work. No copyrighted images or template theft!
Timeline:
- Send all themes to competition@cmsmadesimple.org at the last by October 10 2007.
- include your contact details in the email and in a README.txt file in the zip package
- A jury from the core team will select which theme will be used for cmsmadesimple.org. The winner will be announced on October 15.
- Themes that are submitted as proper packages will be presented on the themes site (http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org) after the winner has been announced
Disclaimer: CMS Made Simple claims the right to edit the winning design to fit with the site structure.
Well?! What are you waiting for? Get designing. :)
