[PLUG] Web work needed


Not linux, but I figure a lot of people out here have far more web skills
than I and might want to do this.

I've got a friend who is helping a company that does seminars.  They
have a brochureware web site that was originally created using
Frontpage (acch-phht).  The "programmer" who created this is
long gone.

The site will still be hosted at the NT centric webhosting company
under IIS, no choice there.  But for this it should not matter.

The ongoing need is for someone with web and graphic skills to
take their PDF files which generated their mailed pieces and convert
them to multiple linked web pages.  The original text and graphics
that made up the PDFs are available as separate files.

The general design is a series of background graphics which text
is layed out upon.  The pain is the fact the original person who 
created these used absolute positioning for some of the elements
and variable for others.  It depends on the font size that the user
has set in the brower, which means it ALWAYS looks like trash
to me.    

There will typically never be more than 4 pages (4 page brochure),
plus a few links back to the mainsite, a registration page, and a few 
links to historical info.

This is 100% layout and linking, no coding at all.

There will be about 6 of these projects a year. 

You would need to quote a flat rate price that you can stick to.  This means
high enough to make it worth your while.  They will not accept an hourly rate
from an unproven source since it generates a cash black hole.

Send me an email if you want more info.
