Two websites had to be customized when I was contacted for this project. I was contacted by Mr. Brant about this improvement. A freelancer.com project was created to make payments and exchange feedback.

First one of two projects was described on oDesk. A child theme (called ‘Curb Appeal’) based on popular Genesis Framework needed to be customized.

In ‘Curb Appeal’ theme there was only one section in home top area.

<?php
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id'          => 'home-top',
    'name'            => 'Home Top',
    'description' => 'This is the Home Top section'
) );
?>

I replaced it with two sidebars as follows.

<?php

    'name'            => 'Home Top Left',
    'description' => 'This is the Home Top Left section'
) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id'          => 'home-top-right',
    'name'            => 'Home Top Right',
    'description' => 'This is the Home Top Right section'
) );
?>

Next project was about adding a ‘Banner’ for category archive pages. The following is the category banner uploader I developed.

I was able to successfully complete the project and earned $25USD (freelancer.com charges only 10% of the total amount. But the lowest possible is $5USD).
