Site Redesign Project-Singles Category

Site Redesign Project-Singles Category Please address the items in the project request. I will ignore quotes from companies that do not provide the information requested. Thank you. I will email the site URL to companies interested in bidding. I don't want it available to just look at from this request. This site is #1 in its category in google for some terms and has been in google since 1999. At one time, the site dominated many keywords and had good revenues from affiliate marketing. The site is old, ugly, has outdated code and needs an overhaul to a CMS like Wordpress or Social Networking Software with overhaul of layout, main landing page, sub pages without losing the links that come into the site. This means that the page names need to be kept. Site redesign needs to take into consideration SEO, current rankings for certain keywords in order to not lose that ranking. I´d like to change this into a wordpress blog or CMS that doesn´t look too much like a blog but would allow us to keep the main general content and structure, but make it more updated looking and seo optimized The website is available online with all the content. The person who gets the project will have to design and also create the templates using HTML/CSS (table less CSS) or modify the chosen "theme" to work. The CSS should pass the w3c validator. The project entails using loading the CMS on your server and using WAMPSERVER or similar to view as if it is a working site, creating the pages, copying the content and all pages, and loading the finished CMS with content onto my hosting. The site entails over 500 pages of content that need to be moved into the new design. I am open to a new logo. You'll be adding the following items to the site: -Events calendar with feed that shows on each city -Forum -Survey -newsletter sign up script -ability to add feeds -blog -social networking links -vendor review page template (top 5-10) for each category -Social networking items you feel would add SEO help -Ability to put unique content on each sub landing city page. If you choose Wordpress some, but not all of the plugins needed include: All-In-One SEO Pack Akismet Feedburner Feedsmith Sitemap Generator Google XML Sitemap Generator Google Analyticator Known fixes that need to be done: Meta tags shortened, reduction of keyword overuse, many errors, unique content on city landing pages The new site should be easy to maintain by a non-programmer. This is not a hard programming project. I don't need this in PHP. I will share the site and the competitors in my category through PM. Preferred Bidders will have experience in seo/optimization and site design for online dating and can show the high ranking on certain keywords from their work Send me your portfolio link and best work from their portfolio. I am looking for quality therefore please do not bid if you are just starting out or have not got any sample to show. (I simply will not respond.) Please show me examples of work you have done with "before" and "after" on a site redesign. Your references should be able to tell me that your design increased their traffic on google, yahoo and MSN and by what %. Your proposal should include your advice/thoughts on what needs to be done to the site. If you feel that an open source social networking program would make this better, I'll need your case for how you will preserve the existing content, page names (that are linked to by many people), and how it will improve seo and conversion. You'll have to show me other companies in my category that use this program and have top rankings.
