Design a Multi-Channel Website: Automatic Updating and Live Stream

In Progress Posted Sep 27, 2015 Paid on delivery

*Expert designers only.

I need a full site design. There will be up to 20+ users who log into their portions, which I want to be partitioned as Channels with their own Categories etc.

The users consist of:

-Several Podcast hosts (Need live streams, Calendars)

-Video Producers

-Professors (Need to imbed .pdf and .ppt/.ppsx etc without user requiring software)

-Finance Analysts (editors, need streams of stock prices for Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium).

-Photographers (Photo of the Day, user uploadable images into automated sliders after administrative approval)

The site needs to be designed as close to fully automated as possible. I'd like each user's Channel to feature their current tweets and Facebook posts. I would also like automatic sliders to be produced based off of 'featured images' and 'headlines' etc, and [if checked by an administrator] featured on the primary domain homepage.

Since there will Channels within the main domain, I'd like to be able to update the Header logo for each, and color scheme, as well as custom sidebars available for the blog of each Channel. This way we can cater ads to their channel topic, and their unique tweets etc. There may be multiple authors/editors per channel.

I have graphics available for the initial design, but will be interested in getting something much more modern produced as they are flat and very 2 dimensional.

Finally, when a podcast is live, I would like it to be featured on the primary domain homepage. Once it goes off-air, however, I would like page to return to 'normal' mode. There will be several, static and professional ads to display.

This is very complex, and I would like a working prototype/mockup in 2-3 weeks so we can launch by November. If you are professional, I need to see a portfolio or your work before we begin so I can see if I trust you as a designer. I have spent much money several times over and not gotten something I loved yet, and have respent only to be disappointed again.

If your mockup satisfies me, you will likely have our business indefinitely when we need logo updates or site adjustments. We want to incorporate a full forum for our collective research as our next project.

The site needs to be responsive to mobile phones and Tablets, to meet the standards of today's viewing technology and user interfaces.

To reiterate, we have some out-dated logo graphics which need to be updated. This may serve as a test to show your styling if you want a 'leg up' on the competition.

*** No Contract for design will be awarded without interaction and messaging to ensure our ideas are on the same page. If you want the contract, get in touch with us early to increase your chances.

Our new site will not follow traditional WordPress framework:

*Homepage:
- A main Navigation Menu on the top of the screen/responsive
- A second, drop down column menu on the left frame of the screen
- A single, updating Tweet display on home screen from several Twitter Accounts & rotating between authors' recent tweets.
- A default Slider automatically updated via featured photos from blog posts.
+This slider will be replaced with a LIVE STREAM when one of our channels is broadcasting/podcasting.
- Other forms of recent posts (i.e. popularity, category, channel)
- A 'Gallery Slider' which automatically updates from a specific upload point, or several specified upload points (I.e. 'photos of the day' from each channel)

*** CHANNELS: (this is a feature not present in standard WP framework).
- A default featured video/photo to be replaced when LIVE STREAM activates. (optional to auto-play)
- Channels need to automatically import LIVE STREAMS from podcasts/ radio shows.
- A Single, updating Tweet display linked to Channel authors' Twitter Accounts & rotating between authors' recent tweets.
- A 'Recent' Videos section linked to YouTube accounts which automatically imports new uploads.
- Each Channel will have its own 'Staff/crew', 'Contact' and 'About Us' sections.
- Each Channel needs to have upload option for featured logo/ avatar.
- Channels should should have an option to display RSS feeds in an attractive manner from other sites.

*Blogs:
- Each Channel will have its own authors/editors/contributors.
- Each Channel will have its own CMS login page for authors/contributors, with respective customize-able logo.
- Plugins which are installed will affect all blogs.
- Each Channel needs a customize-able sidebar, so we can post ads relative to the target community.
- Side bars should be easily interchangeable.
- The Comment section needs to be Facebook, Google+ accessible.
- Users need to be able to 'Follow' articles.
- Professional, but minimalistic appearance.
- There should be a discreet, but visible display of relevant Stock Prices (NYSE) to respective categories (optional to admins)
+ In example: Gold, Silver, Palladium, and Platinum LIVE updates in the FINANCE channel.

*Contact:
- Will have a drop down selection for which channel, authors, department to be contacted.

*Logos/ Graphics:
- We have outdated and unstylish company logos and would love something modern and appealing. We wish to award this simple challenge to the same team designing our site so that the theme flows well. If you are unskilled with logos but great with PHP, HTML, CSS3 etc- you are NOT disqualified from the site design.

*Security:
-Site needs to be as secure as feasible- not your standard hackable WP. We are open minded to NOT using Wordpress, but our authors are journalists, not IT's.
