The discussion revolves around customizing the appearance of a Discourse instance for a new, empty forum. Mira_Iranpour seeks a designer with good taste to apply minor theme components and customizations, offering a $50 budget. merefield suggests this budget is too low for professional work, recommending at least a tenfold increase. Mira_Iranpour clarifies the scope is limited to basic tweaks and that future investment will follow if the forum gains traction. Heliosurge advises exploring the #theme category for existing solutions and requests more details about the forum’s focus and technical setup to offer better guidance.
What would I like done?
Hi I’m looking for someone who has both a good taste and a good understanding of discourse to pretty up our discourse instance! I can offer some references!
When do I need it done?
one or two days
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
50
You will maybe need to provide some samples of what you’re maybe looking for.
Have you explored Customization > Theme to see if any there might suits your needs?
I could be wrong but I suspect you are going to need to multiply that offer by at least a factor of 10 to attract a freelancer.
Indeed for any customized work.
Depending on their community’s focus maybe even just a few Customization > Theme component might give the boost their looking for. Or a theme maybe with a couple of extra TC.
Not enough info to base any feedback on. As “Good Taste” can be highly subjective.
It’s an empty forum, so what im looking for now is just a couple of theme components and minor customizations and just generally someone who would have a good taste.
If we saw that our users will use the forum, we will of course pour a lot more money into it! now it’s mostly to test demands!
of course its subjective, but i can see their previous work and decide based on my taste.
Have you explored the Customization > Theme category?
At the bottom of the sidebar you can in part preview many Customization > Theme.
Having some details on your forum’s focus and so to speak type. Can greatly help.
As well.as some details. If you’re self hosted you have a fair flexibility to even use Customization > Plugin
Most Customization > Theme component you can preview via a link in Theme creator.
With some info we could likely help you in the free advice side of things with recommendations.
Thanks for the clarification. My interpretation of your post was that you were looking for a significant CSS makeover.
