Are there any web designers out there who'd be willing to help us redesign Bitmob? We just need a few mock-ups, so we can spruce up the place....

Unfortunately, we're not in a position to pay anyone, so we're just looking for volunteers at the moment. If you're interested, just reply in the comments below and include any relevant information like URLs where we can check out your work and how we can contact you (or you can tell us to use the email address you registered with here on Bitmob).

Thanks!

The website already looks great compared to most gaming websites, so don't mess it up! Gamespot's recent makeover was long overdue. Maybe something a little more minimalist for Bitmob? It does look a little busy. The color scheme is good, though. Perhaps the area outisde the main page column could be something other than white.

Haha, thank you, but we want to find well-designed ways to highlight more stories if we can! :)

I would be interested in helping out. Heck, it'd even give me something to throw into my professional portfolio. Maybe even a potential future position with you guys? I just graduated with a degree in Journalism and a minor in Interactive Media (read: web design). You can check out my portfolio at:

I think I might be in a position to help. Just recently graduated with a BFA in design, always looking for some good stuff to add to my portfolio. I can hand code HTML, CSS (no Dreamweaver junk), and Java, have a good grasp of skinning blog software, work nicely with PHP, and I'm also a Photoshop wizard.

Unfortunately I don't have much web work to show besides my own site, but I did a lot of internal work for Marathon Petroleum I can't show. Anyways, my website is http://calebbranson.com, you can find the contact email there. I'm really interested in helping you guys out!

I wouldn't mind giving a hand. You can contact me using the email address I used to sign up.

You can also check out my site at http://www.cookie-creative.com. My site is going through a redesign so it hasn't been updated! Long overdue but I'm working on it. :) I can give some examples of stuff I've done on request.

Front end design or back end design? Or both? Please clarify.

All front-end!

This is a GREAT oppurtunity for anyone local to jump on. Are you guys back in Chi-town or in San Fran? Please reply as I have many contacts in both areas that would salivate at the chance to help out!

Sadly, I have to decline my services as a front-end developer as the pay is not conducive to the air travel and expenses due to the communication demands.

However, if you guys need any code or consultation, hit me up! Good luck on finding what you're looking for! I'll keep my nose to the ground to try and find some qualified, enthusiastic help in your area (wherever it is now; you former EGMers sure do move around!).

We won't need anyone to fly anywhere! :)  We're pretty much going to ask our volunteer(s) if they can help us create a more exciting look for Bitmob, mainly so we can promote more stories up at the top, above the fold (without going so crazy on a redesign that our exciting fans are turned off and leave us). We just need some mockups with some ideas that we can use.

We're in San Francisco. If you or anyone else can help, please let us know. Right now, we're getting busy with E3, so we'll probably have to revisit this in about a week.

BTW, when you say help with "code or consultation"...what do you mean? Do you do Ruby on Rails, by chance? We could really use help there! Or just CSS and design/UI? We could definitely use help everywhere.....

Ben, thank you for responding to this! This is an old request, though. VentureBeat.com/GamesBeat.com has acquired us, so we're all good now (we're closing down Bitmob soon, after we fully migrate over). I appreciate you coming here and volunteering, though! Thank you so much.
