We would, of course, love the additional help. You hear that everyone, please shake your trees and help find us a good designer with time and willingness to donate.<br>
<br>
We're definitely looking for someone to take on the task of doing the UI/UX design. I would even be happy if we could get someone to do mock-ups, which then a developer could implement. I think we have a lot more of the latter than the former in our various circles.<br>
<br>
That's probably especially critical at this juncture, since we haven't selected a platform for handling registrations and paper submissions. It's possible that some or all of those will be integrated into one platform, which would naturally effect how we do the implementation.<br>
<br>
If we don't have an integrated platform, then I'd lean towards the static Jekyll setup that we're using now, but I'm by no means wedded to that.<br>
<br>
If we fail to get a good designer in our community to volunteer, then we'll start looking at hiring one.<br>
