Brilliant Directories Website Redesign (Experienced BD Developers Only) I am looking for an experienced **Brilliant Directories (BD)** developer to completely redesign the visual appearance of my existing website while preserving all of the platform's core functionality. This is **not** a standard web design project. I need someone who understands how Brilliant Directories works, knows its widget system, templates, CSS structure, and update-safe customization methods, and can transform a standard BD website into a premium custom-looking website. Experience Required **Please do not submit a proposal unless you have redesigned at least five (5) Brilliant Directories websites.** I will ask for: * Links to live BD websites you have redesigned. * A brief explanation of your role in each project. * Questions about Brilliant Directories widgets, templates, and coding to verify your experience. If you cannot demonstrate solid BD experience, please do not bid on this project. Project Goal The goal is to give my existing Brilliant Directories website a completely fresh, modern, premium appearance while maintaining all of the powerful directory functionality that BD provides. I want visitors to immediately recognize the website as a professionally designed custom site—not a standard Brilliant Directories installation. The redesign should improve: * Overall visual appeal * Branding consistency * User experience * Navigation * Mobile responsiveness * Lead generation * Conversion rates Important I want to make this very clear: I **do not** want pages that still look like default Brilliant Directories pages. While the BD framework, functionality, and backend should remain intact, the visual presentation should be customized throughout the site. Examples include: * Homepage * Search results pages * Member profile pages * Listing pages * Registration and Sign-Up pages * Login pages * Dashboard pages * Forms * Content pages * Widgets * Cards * Buttons * Headers * Footers Everything should feel like it belongs to one professionally designed brand rather than a default BD template. Scope of Work The project includes, but is not limited to: * Review the existing website and recommend a modern color palette that complements my brand. * Redesign the homepage to create a premium first impression. * Update the design of all major widgets. * Redesign all public-facing pages to match the homepage. * Update member profile pages with a cleaner, more modern layout. * Improve typography, spacing, alignment, and visual hierarchy. * Redesign listing cards, buttons, forms, and calls-to-action. * Create custom icons and section styling where appropriate. * Improve desktop and mobile navigation. * Create a consistent user experience across the entire website. * Make final refinements so the website is fully polished and launch-ready. Update-Safe Development All modifications **must** be completed using Brilliant Directories' update-safe customization methods. The BD core files and functionality should remain untouched. Future Brilliant Directories software updates should not overwrite or break the custom design. Deliverables * A staging or development version for review before launch. * All completed template, widget, CSS, and design modifications. * Clean, organized code. * Documentation explaining any customizations that require future maintenance. * Final launch after approval. ## Acceptance Criteria The project will be considered complete when: * The staging site has been approved. * The website has a premium custom appearance throughout. * All pages have a consistent design language. * Core Brilliant Directories functionality remains fully operational. * No member data or functionality is lost. * Performance is maintained or improved. * The website is ready for production launch. ## Proposal Requirements Please include the following with your proposal: 1. Links to at least five Brilliant Directories websites you have redesigned. 2. A description of your role on each project. 3. Your recommended approach for this redesign. 4. Your estimated timeline. 5. Your best fixed-price quote. I am looking for someone who takes pride in creating exceptional work. If you have the experience to transform a standard Brilliant Directories website into a modern, custom-designed platform, I look forward to reviewing your proposal.

Hi, I can help refresh your Brilliant Directories site with a cleaner, modern design while keeping native directory features intact. The main priority is improving the visual experience without breaking widgets, profile layouts, dashboards, or update-safe overrides. I’ve previously worked on BD theme and CSS customization, so I’d take a staged approach: review the current setup on staging, define the brand palette and typography, then rebuild the homepage, listing cards, profiles, menus, and CTA sections with consistent spacing and responsive behavior. I’d keep the work within theme files, CSS overrides, and widget edits so future updates remain manageable. Initial focus: Audit current BD theme and widgets Set brand colors and typography Rework homepage and key subpages Update profiles, listing cards, and buttons Refine mobile navigation and CTAs Estimated timeline: I can begin with the audit and first design revisions right away, then move through the remaining pages in phases after confirming the scope. One quick question: are there any pages or member dashboard areas that must stay exactly as they are, or can those layouts be adjusted too?

Hi, I will redesign your Brilliant Directories site with a custom homepage, updated widgets, polished listing cards, and a consistent colour palette across all public pages, member dashboards, and email templates. All changes will be update safe within BD. I will work on a staging clone first, so your live site and member data stay untouched throughout. Questions: 1) Do you have brand guidelines or a logo colour I should build the palette around? 2) How many subpages and custom widgets are currently active on the site? Share your current site URL and I will put together a colour direction for you to review. Looking forward to potentially working together. Thanks, Kamran
