I am looking for someone who is able to create a complete lyrics website in a relatively short time. If possible I would like to have the site finished and fully functional within 3 weeks.
The lyrics will all be sourced from a lyrics licensing company so the website will need to interact with their API which returns XML or JSON data.
Previous experience working with APIs is essential.
I have an existing lyrics website with thousands of visitors per day. I will need to redirect all traffic from the old URLs to the new ones and eventually delete the old version of the site.
I am looking for a simple, clean layout.
The site will need to have an easy system for adding lyrics in the future (sourced from the lyrics license provider.)
For now, these are the important features (There may be future work for the successful developer to work on some extra features in the future)
FEATURES:
URLs
Must be human-friendly such as [login to view URL]
or [login to view URL]
HEADER
Logo
Banner ad
Lyrics Directory (A-Z and #) listed by artist name
Search Box (will return artist, song title, album, or lyrics results)
Navigation (current location - for example “HOME >> Lyrics >> C >> Coldplay >> Clocks Lyrics) Each part of the navigation should be clickable.
Facebook “like” and Twitter “Tweet” buttons.

I am open to suggestions about other features to add, features which are listed but unnecessary, and changes to the design which would be beneficial. Please consider the changes you recommend when you give me a price.
I would like to see any relevant examples of similar work you have completed. It is essential that the site is attractive, easy to navigate and simple to maintain.
