5 Day UNCODED Website Design Contest $150 Prizes AffiliateGoals.com

[wes1der]

After the great success I have had with my other auctions I am happy to annouce another contest. I own the domain name affiliategoals.com and I would like to turn this into an affiliate directory. A few sites I like the design of are

http://www.affiliateprograms.com/
http://www.webmaster-affiliates.net/
http://www.agreataffiliate.com/
http://www.affiliateprogramhost.com/

I am not looking for an exact replica of any of these sites. I would like a clean look for the site and I need it to match the feel of the above logo. I will need the index page as well as 1 "template" page for the rest of the site. On the site I will have banner advertising on the top, and adsense on the bottom of the site. I will have text on the page and 2 boxes on the right side of the page 1 would be featured programs and the box below that would be sponsored programs.

Contest ends Monday at 2pm PST and payment will be made via paypal. There will be a $100 prize and 2 $25 runner up prizes for this contest.

[wes1der]

Please let me know if you have any other questions on this contest

[linkweb]

Do you have the original files of the logos? That would be easier for us to changes the background color.

[wes1der]

Sorry here are the original files for the logos

[Ariestoteles]

[jmul7]

[wes1der]

Jmul17- I like the use of the logos on top. I will not have a sign in or log in portion on the website but I would like to use the area for a newsletter signup. I do not want the site to look like all of the other affiliate directory sites so I would do away with the affiliate directory on the index page. Instead I would expand the "about this site" portion.

[DaveyBoy]

Gonna knock an entry up for this over the weekend, once my clients' work is done. Thanks for the opportunity man ;)

[wes1der]

No problem DaveyBoy. Glad to see you in another contest!

[neme12]

Do you have preferances? CSS or Photoshop? or both?

[wes1der]

It doesn't matter to me neme12 ... just looking for awesome designs

[nikopolidis]

my work: (feedback appreciated) :)

[wes1der]

niko - I like the layout but the design lacks the sharp professional look I need.

[nikopolidis]

ok, tomorrow I will modify my skin to a simple and professional skin :)

[neme12]

till tomorrow i'll send one too. I'm working on it right now:p

[neme12]

let's see if you like this one. I zoom the page at 70% to be able to see the entire layout

[sb1234]

Changes included.

Any feedback appreciated.

[wes1der]

Jmul7-Looks good. I think I will have 5 featured and sponsored programs on the right side but that will just be fixed if the design wins. Thank you for your entry.

[wes1der]

niko - Ok sounds good thank you

neme12- great professional layout and design. Can I see it with the other logo though?

sb1234 - That is not quite what I am looking for.

[ektz]

[neme12]

updated the layout with the other logo, plus i add the search form

[wes1der]

ektz- Thank you very much for the entry. The page looks clean but it looks like it is missing something ... It looks a little too plain.

[wes1der]

neme12 - thank you that looks much better

[ektz]

Revved it up!:D

[DaveyBoy]

Here's my entry :

Thanks,
Davey.

[dodem]

Clean like you want.
If you want I can fix what you want. :)

[wes1der]

ektz - that is much better. Thank you very much!

daveyboy - I love the way you laid everything out but the top blue bar seems very plain. I feel like it needs something.

dodem - it is impressive but I do not like the list of programs on the index page

[DaveyBoy]

Hey, thanks for feedback. I agree with that, I just couldn't think of anything at that moment. Will try to think of something, or if you have any suggestions, just let me know.

I was going to fade an image into the left hand side of it but couldn't think of anything to do with 'affiliates' that would suit. Let me know if you can think of a suitable image and i'll try that idea.

[wes1der]

Davey - I really don't know. I have been impressed with pretty much everything you have done so I am sure you will be able to think of something by Monday :)

[DaveyBoy]

Ok, here's one idea :

[nikopolidis]

my work modifyed: (more simple...as well as you ask to me)

http://nikju1.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/affiliategoals2.jpg

Feedback appreciated!

[wes1der]

DaveyBoy - I am not sure the dollars are the way to go. I don't want it to look just like every other site. You are on the right track though

Niko - Much better thank you. Can I see it with the other logo?

[dodem]

ok :)
I will work to improve it.

Do you want more somting to improve?

[DaveyBoy]

No problem i knew it was a bit cliché but thought i'd put it up there. A few more ideas still to come ;)

[wes1der]

dodem - the look just isn't sharp enough for a business site. The layout is very creative though

daveyboy - no problem. It really made a difference though adding something there

[wes1der]

daveyboy -you could probably lose the whole blue banner and see how that looks. I don't think it would take away from the page

[DaveyBoy]

Yeah, here it is with the blue banner gone :

May look better if i made the nav blue I guess.

[nikopolidis]

Niko - Much better thank you. Can I see it with the other logo?

sure :)

http://nikju1.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/affiliategoals3.jpg

http://nikju1.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/affiliategoals4.jpg

[wes1der]

Daveyboy - that looks much better in my opinion. I think it may look better if all the header bars were blue instead of green .. what do you think?

Niko - much better thank you.

[DaveyBoy]

Here it is with the nav in blue and the top featured programs in blue, the bottom ones in green. I figured we need some way to distinguish between them, but up to you of course ;)

[wes1der]

DaveyBoy-Can I see it with the other logo?

[DaveyBoy]

With the alternative logo :

I will finish working on this after I get some sleep. Also please feel free to point out any thing you would like changed.

[wes1der]

[wes1der]

Darkrider I like what I see so far. Still several more hours left

[wes1der]

Sorry contest ends at 2PM PST

[Dark Rider]

ok i've been working on mine I should have it done in time.

I'll post my updates in an hour I think I will be finished by then.

[Dark Rider]

*Added Copyright / Footer Area*

I'll be posting another update as soon as I finish the copyright area.

[dodem]

What do you think? :)
Not In the Full Size...

[wes1der]

darkrider - I'm not crazy about the colors. it looks too much like an adsense template page. I like the layout though

dodem - It is on the right track but I don't think the layout is quite right

[DaveyBoy]

Is it today or tomorrow it ends? Not really up to speed on my PSTs and stuff ;)

[jmul7]

I think PST is GMT+7 ??? i.e. 2pm PST = 4 minutes ago

[wes1der]

49 minutes from now ... it is 1:11pm PST

[DaveyBoy]

Heh, i swear i'll die never knowing the US timezones.

[neme12]
