We are looking for freelance website developers, graphic designers, and administrative professionals. Work is based on project or hourly rate and is strictly telecommuting (you do not need to reside in the Chicago-area.)

If you can, I need you…

I’m in the process of creating an online CRM software application. Most of those programs are ugly, boring and are not very intuitive, which is why I feel so many people don’t actually use them. In fact, most CRM installations fail because sales people just don’t like using them.
Fast forward to 2010…

We’re trying to change that. Besides innovating the actually functionality of the program, I’m trying to create something clean, intuitive and elegant. Something that someone will actually WANT to use. Designed and implemented correctly, it could be a ground breaking app.
You might ask, why not just create an Ipad app? Well, we will. But right now we’re trying to attract as many customers as possible. So starting with a cloud based application and then adding an Ipad app a little later is our strategy.

I know it’s impossible to re-create the same look and features of an Ipad app in a web based program simply because of the programming language and the specifics of the Ipad hardware. However, we’re looking to create that clean looking interface with intelligent navigation that I know can be accomplished with CSS with some cool Ajax controls.
To give you an idea of what I’m looking for, here’s a design company that I love.
http://www.metalabdesign.com/

Check out a few of the sites they’ve developed when you have a moment.
This would be a long term project, not just a quick contract job. Besides helping design the user interface of the application, we would then need to create an entire website to promote the software in addition to various fixes, updates and graphics that banners, etc, that would be necessary to promote the application and maintain the site.
I am looking to work with just one person or a small design firm with a couple of people. Like I mentioned above, this is a long term project and I would need your one on one interaction throughout the process.

Please submit a link to your portfolio or to any relevant work that I should consider. Also, please direct me to your past work that most closely resembles the needs of the project. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to look through every project you’ve done so that would be a huge help. Also, before we proceed, I would also need you to create a few html mockups (which I will pay you for) just to get an idea of the direction you would be taking.
Thank you for reading this and considering being a part of this project. We’re very excited about this, are very confident in its success and look forward to you being an intricate part of that growth.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Scott Kochman
