I want to reiterate that I don't think we should spend any money on translating from photoshop to html, unless it's a *very* small amount. The ~$200 you've mentioned before is about the highest price where I think "well maybe it's worth it to have somebody else do this". This is a common skill, and I am personally willing to volunteer in this regard. At worst we could pay somebody later if volunteers can't get it done satisfactorily. (I don't believe a delay like that would be damaging) If we have a volunteer with the appropriate skillset and time availability that is willing to do it then great, I agree we shouldn't spend the money. However, if this becomes a blocker or if the volunteer isn't working to a high standard then I think it is worth it to spend money on it. Honestly, I think it will pay for itself in a few months with increased donations. That is generous of you to volunteer, can you point to examples of work you've done in the past of this nature? How much time can you devote to it, and on what timescale? Are you comfortable working with jekyll? Do you think jekyll is the right tool for the job here? Unlike developing the actual design, we can easily evaluate whether us volunteers have adequately converted the photoshop to html+jekyll. We paid designers for their aesthetic sense, but with this conversion the community has all of the skills required to both execute this and evaluate this. I agree, provided that this doesn't bog down the process, I would hope to have the new site up in 2 weeks or less. Ian.
