Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 2,830 PointsQuestion about client's new wordpress website development as per his needs.
Now I know how to install and setup wordpress themes, plugins as I learned from Zac Gordon's course, few weeks ago, including create pages/posts, add menus, widgets etc, that I am very familiar in this field.
Client would like to request a quote for a Wordpress-based site. So I am ready to submit my proposal on his project but I am still nervous to apply it.
For example - I read his project requirements on online marketplace website, which he provide the completed wireframe and final presentation:
FINAL PRESENTATION: http://projects.dburnsdesign.com/goldcoast/09/
I would like to know which best similar free or paid themes and plugins download website? so I install on wordpress as per client requirement. I heard some say themes forest is better and safe. Is that true?
He also mentioned in his project detail "Add Script to tell people to upgrade their browser if it is IE8 or lower, or older versions of other browsers." on wordpress website. How can I create it?
Anyone familiar with wordpress developer. Please suggest

This Theme is the best selling theme there and is really flexible and easy to use and set up: http://themeforest.net/item/avada-responsive-multipurpose-theme/2833226
Any time you need a particular plugin or require something extra to customize the site, the best approach is to google it (someone is bound to have asked how to do it in the past if it's a common feature. Alternatively, when you buy the theme on theme forest, the theme developers offer support forums where they can help you with custom code to customize the themes to meet your clients' needs.
Buying a theme is definitely worth it if you can find one that suits your needs. They are 1000 times better then the free ones and they are not ridiculously expensive at $60 for a top theme.

If you do end up needing to customize a theme, you will want to look into child themes. If it does seem like the customization you need for this project requires a child theme there are a number of intermediate WordPress development tutorials here that are great resources.
