Need help creating a very simple WordPress site

Hello, I'm trying to create a very simple three page WordPress site. I've tried twice now hiring someone from oDesk to create a similar thing and they've sent me html versions that don't work as well as I'd like.

What I'm looking for is a simple 3 page site with a header image at the top of each page that'll have a logo and some information.

The home page needs to have a box to enter a password that gives them access to the site as well as a count down timer. We want to have people register for an event and show them how much time is remaining.

Once they enter the password they get taken to a page with a form asking for some information like, name, email, phone number, etc.

When they fill that out they end up on a final page that has a coupon that they can print and bring to the event.

I should be able to create the three pages with a nice WordPress theme with no problem I just need to figure out if there's a plugin or something to do the password and count down timer on the first page.

Has anyone ever done something similar and can they help me out with this?

Thanks in advance.

    It would be absolutely nonsense to use WordPress for what you described above.

    What you need is a 3 page website with some interactive scripts to capture the data you need.

    If you don't know how to do it - post in the paid jobs forum, not here!

    Kalyn,

    This sounds extremely simple. Do you want a self-hosted Wordpress site or one on wordpress.com? You would need to do a self-hosted one for what you want. Assuming you already have a hosting package up and running, download Wordpress here WordPress › Download then upload the files to your server using some type of FTP program (I prefer Filezilla).

    You can install this countdown timer, WordPress › Countdown Timer « WordPress Plugins

    And then you could investigate this plugin for password protecting the site

    WordPress › Private Only « WordPress Plugins

    Another alternative (which isn’t recommended because it will give away the CMS in use) but you can copy and paste Wordpress’s own login code into your header.php file

    // password protection
    function password_protected() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
    auth_redirect();
    }
    }

    add_action('template_redirect', 'password_protected');
    add_action('do_feed', 'password_protected');


    Hope this helps you,

    Shawn

    That's right. What you're looking at not a wordpress site but a simple html pages with extensive php and scripts coding.
