Liftoff News (My) View Classes - overkill? I'm using the Kohana PHP framework at work, and realised the other day that I was going to have to set the page title in the controller, as there's no practical (and non-using-globals) way to get values from the content view, into the main layout template.

I need to develop a website (actually a few) to support it. I can do the functional development side, but I want it to look fantastic too, with HTML5 and CSS3 bells & whistles (stylish and in keeping of course).

I'm looking for someone who can make that happen, and who would be interested in partnering on the project. This would unfortunately mean no up-front pay, but if it's a success you'd share up to equally (depending on how invoved you want to be long term) in the profits.

One slight clue about the project is it's photography related. It's not groundbreaking, or even particularly unique, but I think there's a place for it, and if it's done well and looks great, it could be a success.

It'd be a big plus if you're in/around Edinburgh, so we can meet up occasionally. I'm just by Ocean Terminal.

Stopping being cryptic now. If any of that sounds at all interesting, give me a DM or email, and I'll let you know more.
