Wordpress Design Brief
We’d like to get a new Wordpress theme or childtheme to refresh our beloved website: womenasentrepreneurs.com.au which is a customized version of theme ‘Fancy’ that we now find a bit “childish” “chaotic” “unprofessional looking”. We are after a more clear and refined, more professionally looking site.
We’d like to use our current plugins, somebody just needs to redesign the frontpage to give us a new and awesome outlook. We can install and finetune all the necessary plugins.
We know exactly what elements we want to see on the website, see detailed Design requirements. Please also feel free to use any images from http://womenasentrepreneurs.com.au/category/Gallery/ or other stock images.
What we like:
We’d like to have a more professional look, we like ‘news sites’ that: feminine, intelligent, exclusive, smart, elegant, confident aiming towards the higher end of the female entrepreneur market. Websites like:
