Responsive Theme Request

[naveed.lodhi]

Hey vBulletin members, I would like to request for any free vbulletin responsive design. I would really appreciate your efforts.

Thanx

So you want someone to rewrite the entire vBulletin 4 style from the ground up in responsive for free?

[naveed.lodhi]

Woohoo I don't know the vb codes yet, how much it will cost if I request for one, any idea???

[naveed.lodhi]

So any idea of how to make the default theme responsive.. Anyone???

[Zachery]

You'd pretty much be redoing the entire style from scratch.

I spent over 2 weeks to use twitter bootstrap and still not completed.

I suspect something like this, for a single well skilled person is a 60-120 hour job. To do It right, you're going to be rewriting every template and css bit from scratch.

You'd be looking at 2k~ minimum, if you were to pay someone to do this for you.

Bit of an over exaggeration of having to redo the entire theme, most things can be accomplished with CSS alone and if you are not fussy about having every single function that the full site offers responsiveness is more than accomplish-able with CSS and a couple of template tweaks.

Ive been working on on for http://www.tottenhamhotspurs.tv/forum/ , its not completely finished yet but its usable as a responsive theme.

I do agree with Zach though with price ranges, depending on the theme being done it could be anywhere between $1000 - $3000.

I said If you wanted to do it right

There is a difference between a collapsible skin via CSS/HTML and a responsive design. Responsive designs also alter the amount of data to the devices viewpoint -- you would not want to send the same amount of data to a low-bandwidth device. In most cases you should handle the input of the devices differently. There is plenty of php/javascript that needs to be extended and altered to do this correctly, not just the templating and CSS alone. For example: Using vb's navtab setup does not work well with many of the touch screen devices we tested.

Taking any page and making it collapsible is a pretty simple thing, but this just gives the look of a responsive design and maybe that is all you are looking for. In my department it took 2 guys 1.5 weeks to fully implement/test the code change. That does not count the research and outline of the project.

Anyway, if I am explaining things you already know, forgive me, I was trying to educate others. as a whole, that might read this thread.

@AdamH - Your site looks nice.
