Complete WordPress website using the Thesis framework only

General information for the website: This is an authority website
Kind of development: Customization of existing website
Description of requirements/features: You will need to be proficient in the Thesis framework and optionally the Marketers Delight skin. Anyone who does not understand the Thesis framework will not be accepted.

1. Setup the Home page so that I can get 2 teaser posts with full width header photos and “Continue…” to the full text. I will provide a website that you can use as a template. Every post should just have an excerpt.
2. Make sure the signup form header appears only on the Home screen and that the main menu is properly aligned and consistent across all other pages. At the moment the logo seems to jump around every page.
3. Put an image behind the Home page header where the signup form is. The signup form should have a translucent look and feel.
4. Align the Subscribe button next to the email address in the signup form.
5. Complete the footer. At the moment it has Recent Articles, Feedback and a secondary menu. The secondary menu needs to have the same colours with the primary menu and also to be vertical again like in the template website
6. Setup the blog so that we have 3 posts at a time with full width header photo once again. At the bottom of the blog page add Next Posts… button.
7. Add icons in the buttons across the website from FontAwesome. Use the Rocket icon for that. Keep the same dark colour for all buttons.
8.Ensure all the headings in my posts and pages inherit the main colours of the site. For example you will look at the design of the About page in the template website and design our About page the same way.
9. Ensure that the html and css do not have any errors. At the moment it fails on 4 things when passed through the W3C validator.
10. Correct anything else you feel needs to be done.
Specific technologies required: Thesis framework to be provided with the required skin.
Extra notes: I will provide a url for the template website and my website once we agree on price.
