$100 Simple WordPress Theme – PSD Design Only!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by LinkSales, May 15, 2009.

  1. #1
    Contest Requirements:

    Must use the name [​IMG]
    Must have a blue and white color scheme
    Must look corporate, this is for a business, not a personal blog.

    The site should not look like a blog, it needs to look like a website. The blog features will be turned off and the site will run as a website with a WP backend.

    Be creative! That is the most important part. The design should be clean and appeal to corporate buyers.

    The contest will end in 96 hours. I'll be here to give feedback all the time.

    Go!

    Sure.

    The company is in the business of offline advertising. They're an ad agency, and buy advertising on behalf of their clients. They just need a simple, corporate looking, WP theme.

    The theme needs a navigation section that will be coded in to work as WP Pages. It only needs three pages, home, services, and make a payment.

    Very nice.

    Even your design is more complex than what is needed. There will be no RSS feed, nor a search bar or categories. This is going to be a simple 3-page corporate website.

    If you could do a few more edits to make it look a little more corporate and remove the elements noted above, you have a quality entry. Also try to do a little more with the name of the business it make it stand out.

    Thanks for the feedback, here is my updated version:

    http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9541/icradvertisingo.png

    I removed everything that was to be removed and made the name a bit different. Also I squared off all the rounded edges to try make it look a bit more corporate and made the posts look a bit less boring. Can make any more changes if needed. Thanks.

    Also, I've kept the bit on the right in case anything needs to be added...though that's easily removed.

    Looks good. The only thing I have to add right now is that I would prefer if you went with a darker blue color. Not navy, but a little lighter than navy. Blue blue.

    I like the design, but it looks far too personal. Font changes would help a lot I think. Eliminate the curves if possible.

    Far too complicated. Refer to the guide above. Doesn't need search, doesn't need more than 3 pages, doesn't need image space. This is supposed to look clean, simple and corporate.

    Hope to see your entries soon!

    I think you've got a good design going here, but I'll give a few pointers


    First, the logo isn't quite what I'm looking for. I'd like something not so complex. If you wrote out the full name in the same text as "advertising" you'd really have something going.

    I like the "we to" section at the top, the bottom text section will not be needed however. Also, payments are not something that is to be highlighted on the main page so please remove it.
