    Hey, I need a single index page designed, not coded, (preferably .psd file in photoshop) for my online men's magazine. This HAS to be professional as I am competing with www.esquire.com www.bullz-eye.com and www.menshealth.com among others. Go to their sites for inspiration. I cannot stress enough how professional, clean, easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing this needs to be. If need be, I will up the compensation.

    Ok, now what needs to be incorporated in the page design. Go to wwwDOTbadsphinxDOTcom for referencing.
    -Header will stay the same
    - "Quick Links" frame on the left needs to be somehow included in the page
    - "BSX Girls" frame on the right needs to be in generally same location
    - Area for amazon search widget
    - Footer and Adsense leaderboard at bottom will remain
    - Every category in the nav bar (excluding premium) needs to have some type of section on the index page to allow users to easily look up the newest update for that category

    That should be it. Again, I am competing with some extremely well designed sites and don't hesitate to go to them for inspiration. I will check back as often as possible to answer questions and to help as much as possible. Thanks and good luck!

    Update: This is what it SHOULD NOT look like:

    This just tells me this designer was too lazy to come up with a professional design.

    Just a quick question, you said the header would remain the same ...does this mean you want to keep the same color scheme...and by header do you mean the logo and nav bar or just logo??

    Logo and nav bar. I like the color scheme as it stands right now because it is soft on the eyes.

    What do you mean by "Professional". I dont think it would be professional in any way if you keep that colour scheme.
