Here is a deal:

You make it happen that the FreedomBox foundation (ikiwik website) finally applies my design: http://mray.de/fbxfoundation_robert/theme.html - and i'll do a design for you mom's home page!

What do you think? :D

Dear web & design fellows,

I'm trying to create a Wordpress-based website for my Mom's business. She runs a "copy and print on everything" kind of store and, in case that matters, has also been producing shirts for the Fellowship and the DFD with discounts.

Problem is that I'm very strong technically, but my design skills are intermediate at best, rather amateur. I just can't create a design myself from scratch, or even modify an existing one, so that it would match her company ID colors, which form a hefty combination: C61 M1 Y36 K0 (green) C45 M70 Y0 K0 (purple / pinkish)

In order to find possible combinations, especially with lighter colors I could use outside the header area, I've been trying to use something like this: http://www.colorschemer.com/schemes/viewscheme.php?id=9952 http://www.colorschemer.com/schemes/viewscheme.php?id=9801

No matter how I try to incorporate the colors, though, it looks *ass*. My attempts so far where done with the customization-happy Free Software theme "Custom Community", which starts off very white-to-black grayish, so I was hoping this would be a good starting point.

There's also a special offer: If any of you likes, I will *pay* you cold, hard cash (or credit) to create a kick-ass theme all by yourself, or modify an existing one - and have it (stay) Free Software, of course. Heck, I'll even mention your name and a link on the website.

If it helps: The Wordpress installation is reachable from the interwebs, I'd post any of you the link who asks, but it can't become public on that host, my hoster would kill me otherwise as I'm not paying for public web hosting. Digital company business card is also available, to give you an impression.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)
