Last week I submitted a design for a widget and got really good results.

Now I need a home and business profile page. One winner will get $200 via paypal.
Here are the links from my current site:
Landing Page (http://www.feedbackjar.com/)
Business Profile (http://www.feedbackjar.com/ViewResult?BId=216)


**********************Homepage*************************************

1. The homepage I need would be a cross between these two sites.
Example Site 1 (http://www.goodrec.com/)
-I like how they have 3 boxes on top that tell what the sites does.
-I like the two columns. One column for recently updated businesses. One column for popular on goodrec, popular rec'ers, and top categories

Example Site 2 (http://getsatisfaction.com/companies)
-I like the two columns. One column for recently added businesses and one column for recently updated businesses.


************************Business Profile Page*************************************

2. The business profile I need would be a cross between these two links.
Example Profile 1 (http://goodrec.com/restaurants/mountain-view-ca/fiesta-del-mar-too-7/)
-I like how all the business information is on the right column with the google map

Example Profile 2 (http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter)
-I like the top with the company logo and name
-I like the top menu for

* Support Topics
* Products
* People
* Overheard
* About

but I would have menu tabs instead of links
-I like the right column with the Product and services and Tags
-I won't have a text box to create a new feedback post, instead I would just have the "Start a new support topic" button
-I like the feedback posts are color coordinated by feedback type.


***************************Requirements************************

*Just the image as a psd file. No code required
*Has to be a unique design.
*Simple but have web 2.0ish look
*Choose colors that go well with logo

I like these example sites
Example 1 (http://hootsuite.com/)
Example 2 (http://getsatisfaction.com/companies)
Example 3 (http://www.goodrec.com/)
Example 4 (http://vimeo.com/)
Example 5 (http://www.yoolinkpro.com/en/)

@RaduTRIFAN
We actually want to move away to the current layout on our site. Your design reminds me of what we already have.
To get a better idea, check out description I have above regarding those two example sites.
Thanks for your submission! =)

Feedback:
*I'm actually thinking about removing the video demo, so you can remove that from the mock up
*Can you make the homepage layout look more like a cross between these two sites: Example Site 1 (http://www.goodrec.com) and Example Site 2 (http://www.getsatisfaction.com/companies)?

*There's too much background color with the text. It doesn't make the text stand out. I rather keep it simple. Here's a simple and clean look I like: Simple and Clean (http://37signals.com/)

Good effort by the way!

I like the clouds and clean look.

Feedback:
*I'm actually thinking about removing the video demo, so you can remove that from the mock up?
*Can you have the login and sign up links on the upper right corner?
*I would like to see the Search and Location text field more on top.
*There seems to be a lot of extra space on top. Can you fix that?
*Can you make the homepage layout look more like a cross between these two links: Example Site 1 (http://goodrec.com/) and Example Site 2 (http://getsatisfaction.com/companies)?
*Instead of trees and sheep, which has a country feel, can you make it look more urban by giving it a city setting with shops?

Looking forward to your next submission! Thanks! =)

@shinan
Feedback:
*I like the list of businesses below the Latest Activity tab. That should be the main focus of the site. The recently added is just be a minor addition to the overall of the site.
*I like the position of the login and sign up links
*Could you move the Search and location bar lower like this site? Example Site 1 (http://www.goodrec.com)
*Could you move the whole thing up more? There seems to be too much space on top.
*Instead of clouds maybe have notes of paper floating down.

Feedback:
*Let's remove the "Community Customer Support" phrase and readjust the space with the search and location bar.
*Have the "Latest activity" take up 3/4 of the space
*Change the "Recently added" to a list

Thanks for submitting!

I didn't get what you meant by 'take 3/4 of the space'.
Let me know if anything needs more changes.

****IMPORTANT****

Here are the example layouts I want my homepage to be like:
Example site 1 (http://www.goodrec.com/)
Example site 2 (http://getsatisfaction.com/companies)

A cross between those two sites. I'm looking for simple and clean.

Seems like there's a lot of extra un-used space on top. Maybe have the top portion of the page look like this search and menu header on top. Example Header (http://www.yelp.com/c/sf/restaurants)

I like the change for the 3/4 usage .

Thanks!

The businesses are displayed in a list in the middle of the page and not only on the right hand side.

***Important***
Please don't redesign what I currently have on my site. Yugo and skyblue1950, your designs remind me of I already have. I don't want to see the middle descriptions that have Where customers share and communicate and below that.
The main body of the site should be the list of recent active businesses.
Please refer to the original post for further details on what we're looking for.

@yugo
Can you make it less "shiney" looking. There's too much shade, and I want to see more round corners

@skyblue1950
I like the header

Thanks!
