Hey… i am interested in your theme. Is it possible to design an image widget with mouse over effects and place this in the alternate homepage (instead of the slideshow)??
In about which words would i have to describe such a task to a graphic designer/web developer on say elance etc.?
Hope you can help! Cool theme by the way. 

Hey there! Any WP developer should be able to create a page template for this purpose or you can use my alternate homepage as an example to customize from as well. As for the actual image/effects, you may want to show them a site that has a similar effect you’re looking to accomplish. Thanks!
