I’m looking to redesign the digg comment statistics page. The back-end I generally have no problems with, but when it comes to design, I just have no clue.
If someone is willing to redesign my page, I’ll offer you fame, fortune, and a link on the stats page to you or your email address! (OK, one out of three)
Basically, I don’t care how it looks, as long as it looks better than what I have (which isn’t saying much).
Some points to consider:
I have both a wide screen monitor and a regular monitor, so I would prefer that the page looks good on both. I generally can’t stand sites that end up using only 800 pixels of my screen. That being said, if it can’t be variable width, I’ll live if it looks good anyway.
The graph width can be very wide. So wherever that ends up should probably be in a div with overflow: auto.
The same goes for comments. Sometimes people will post a very long link in a comment and it will mess with all the other comments. That’s not good, so each comment should probably be in its own element with overflow: auto.
Based on stats, I get about 75% firefox hits. So, if for whatever reason, your idea only works in firefox but still looks reasonable in ie, safari, etc (graceful degradation), I won’t lose too much sleep over it.
If more than one person wants to redesign the site, maybe I’ll set up something where people can vote on which they like better? I’m not sure about that yet.
So if anyone out there is interested and has some time to kill, please let me know.
You can email me any designs at neaveru AT gmail dot com

I’m interested, but maybe after my exams are finished…

I’m totally interested.
Where are you from? Why don’t you post a picture of yourself?

I can design something for you. The only bad news is that I’m not too familiar with Javascript, and only mildly familiar with CSS. If you would accept a mockup in html with some php elements, I’d be happy to provide something.

Are you still looking for a design? If so, I am very interested in designing something for you.
