Greetings there!
Mike from Toronto, Canada here.
NIkita from Freelancer.com suggested I bid on this project.
I've taken a look at your existing site, [login to view URL] and taken a quick glance at your example sites thrillist and the verge.
I can develop all graphics for you and a new logo in vector format.
I will create all the designs from all the pages than integrate the posts (news posts) into the new site. I've worked closely with ad placements, you can view this site:
[login to view URL]
Take a look, did you need ads specifically to appear on pages? Or when you upload an ad it'll appear across the whole site? Did you want multiple ads to appear? So that every time a page is refreshed a new ad will appear?
I will develop this using Wordpress, make everything responsive.
Here are a bunch of designs :
[login to view URL] (Tile format)
[login to view URL]

[login to view URL]
I truly look forward to speaking with you!
Best wishes,
Mike
