SEEKING FREELANCER, ISTANBUL, REMOTE OK. Hi,

We are Gerger (www.gerger.co), the creators of Formspider (www.theformspider.com), the Web 2.0 framework for Oracle PL/SQL developers. We are preparing a new version of our product and we would like to renew our product web site www.theformspider.com along with it.

Our product Formspider is for a specific group of developers namely, the Oracle PL/SQL developers. It's mainly used in mid to large size companies to build Budgeting, Accounting, Order Management, HR, ERP etc.. software.

Current Web site was done by us a year and a half ago. It's nice but building web sites is not our focus. The site is also showing its age.

Formspider impresses our users with its simple and elegant design. It is perceived as an unusually high quality, very innovative product built with care and attention to detail. We would like our new web site reflect these facts.

We want a simple yet beautiful design in our web site. Readable large fonts, excellent copyright, gorgeous pictures, icons and screen shots should provide a enjoyable experience to the visitor. We don't want run of the mill, stock photos, icons and text anywhere on the site. Each page needs to be individually crafted and be of excellent quality.

The entire goal of the web site is to reflect the high quality of our product.

Our favorite product, company web sites are www.apple.com (you should have seen this coming at this point :-) ) and http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/

We've been struggling to find a freelancer or a team that can get this done. I thought of asking you on HN hoping that you can help.

Best, Yalim

You have some typos on this page http://theformspider.com/product.php?descid=5
Thanks. Could you tell me what they are please?
In case you see this:

Our background is PL/SQL and Oracle Forms. We were annoyed with the way web applications are supposed to be built nowadays. We wanted to build the Forms for the 21st century, and Formspider is just that. It is an intuitive, elegant framework that just feels right to build applications with. A framework that empowers you, eliminates all the drudgery of the Web but embraces all its beauty. Once you start using it, you will never want to build with anything else.

NB: I just removed one extra word, changed "build" to "built" in one instance, and combined a sentence. I didn't do a full re-write.
