I will ask her, because she's pretty good at coding stuff and designing them. :D

Not sure if you guys are notified when I quote you?? Sorry x.x

Don't talk me up too much hun!
Plus not sure if I can do anything official because it'd be a conflict of interest with Cae >n<'

If I can though I'd like to do bits here and there if needed though D:

There are a few visual language elements I want to hold on to (specific shapes representing specific behaviors, like containers having one rounded top corner and clickable things having one rounded bottom corner) and I'm trying to capture a modern sort-of-minimal "Material Design"-ish feel without giving up too many of the old-school design elements (to keep a sense of thematic continuity and to try to evoke a sense of intentional anachronism) but I'm totally open to improving on the visuals.

I am not very knowledgeable about backend - but I thrive from CSS :'D
If there's anything small I can help out with or have input to, don't be afraid to let me know or I can make up some examples or something

While you guys at it, I think having custom profiles would be nice. ^^

[Coda]

Custom profiles have historically been something we'd been avoiding. We're definitely not going to do something as flexible as Gaia's. We DO want to give you a few more things you can do on your profile page to personalize it, but that's rather far down the list compared to things we think are going to make a bigger difference on how much people like the site.

No, we don't have notifications when you get quoted. THAT one is actually on the shortlist.

As for the layout... I'm not too worried about the technical details. I AM a professional; I've been building websites nearly as long as there's been a web to build them for -- when I built my first site I was using Netscape Navigator 1.0 in 1995. You give me a picture, I can turn it into a website. (And in fact I've done exactly that on multiple occasions as part of my job. I think I'm most proud of this one -- this USED to be Flash!)

But yeah, if you're serious... let me finish building the mockups that I've been working on and we can see what improvements can be made.
