[REQUEST] Full vBulletin Skin / Layout Graphics for vG Portal Main Page (XBOX360Site)

Hello everyone,

First I just wanted to introduce a little bit, my Name is Rk, and I am the owner and operator of a website called XBOX Gamers Planet (www.xgplanet.com) and we are currently transitioning into a new format at a new domain (www.xgp360.com), and are looking for a new, professional, design to go along with that. We would like to have a site that can also help you expand your portfolio, as well as help us gain more traffic. Our site is currently 80,000+ Posts and 600 Members deep and will only grow after this transition. We are looking for a reliable designer who can keep us in the loop and work with us on ideas for the site.

We contracted with Implinet (Mike Froseth) for these services and the completion date was passed last Friday and we havn't heard anything back from them since about a week before that. I have sent countless emails, instant messages, and the like trying to just see what kind of progress was being made. Unfortunately I havn't recieved anything back, and am stuck waiting for the new design before launching the new site. I guess I wouldn't be so upset if I hadn't already paid him half the money we contracted him for.

Anyway, we are looking for a new designer for this project. Our site is going to be based around XBOX 360 and we want our site to reflect that. I am putting this request here because I have seen some of the super sharp professional designs that have come out of some of the designers here.

Detailed List of Services Needed

- Complete with all custom graphics, icons, and emoticons.
