Website Restructure (Currently on Wordpress)

Mission: We are looking to reconstruct the website [login to view URL] (fan site) with a more cutting edge feel (must stand out & be unique). This fan site is featured on word press platform as of now and whether it remains on word press or not is fine by us. We just ask whichever platform is used that it may be very user friendly for us to make updates and easy to use. The site must be user friendly and must NOT use any flash either. The website currently offers a home page, about, news, shop and forum. If we switch platforms from Word Press, be sure to NOT have the blog affected. Please visit some popular fan sites below and send us your portfolio. - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] Key elements: • Must be SEO friendly • JAVA carousal on home page • Social Media accessibility (Facebook & Twitter) • Custom background • Blog or ad button Suggestions to include: • Interactive section featuring Fan Art (TMNT drawings and paintings), quotes, pizza topping ideas, etc Concerns: • Website currently reacts slow… • Not all products featured open new tab upon click • Will the forum be affected if we switch platforms from wordpress to another platform Please address your messages and your bids custom to our job posting as we have concerns.
