    Hi All,

    This is a competition to design + code a Wordpress theme.

    Winning Design:
    $95 USD via Paypal

    Code + Design:
    $130 USD for PSD + Coding

    If you cannot code that's fine, I have a developer for that.

    I am looking to get the following website redesigned:
    http://savingsaccountcompare.com.au/

    I would like the same sort of colours, perhaps a bit lighter shade of blue.

    Requirements:
    • Sidebar (prefer left, might look okay on the right)
    • Comparison Table
    • Section for blog posts (usually prefer blog posts - maybe intergrate into sidebar

    I would also like a newsletter/subscription box integrated somewhere on the site, perhaps at the bottom of article/posts or on the sidebar.

    Any questions let me know.

    My last $150 competition is here You can see I paid him and it was all good.

    Here is a site that looks alright:
    http://www.moneysupermarket.com/savings/

    I want some banners next to blog post, so here is a mockup on the current design. I'm also hoping for a new more professional 'read more' button.

    it would be good if you could use the following form to upload designs.

    http://www.wakemedia.com.au/dpcontest/

    Looking forward to some results!

    (try and include all the links that are currently on http://savingsaccountcompare.com.au)

    I've made a couple of changes, so here's my updated entry.

    Revised logo and I've added the featured savings account section which I missed out.

    Cheers :)

    Thankyou both for your entries.

    MohammadHaja - Sorry, it doesn't give off the professional vibe. Do not like Colours or font.

    Matt - Very nice, was expecting to have to wait a bit longer for an entry this good! However it still needs some work. The sidebar needs to be reduced in width and the main content width needs to be increased. I also wouldn't mind seeing a few different colour schemes, perhaps darker blue, green, etc. Just choose colours that you think give the site a trusting feel.

    It is very important that all future entries give a feeling of trust and authority. For example your banks website will most likely give off a trusting appearance.

    Looking forward to future entries!

    Excellent. Looking forward to submissions!

    I have a few colour schemes that I would like to include if you are having trouble coming up with some. Please only use this as a guideline. You guys are the designers, you know what looks most professional.
    Cricinfo - Cool clean web 2.0 feel blue. Not sure about the gradient could be a tad strong.
    ANZ - I like the shades of these blues, however there seems to be a bit too much blue!
    St George - A nice red design, not sure if it will work for my site tho...
    StarDesigns Entry for another contest - I like the blue in the header, and I also like the green up the very top in the buttons.

    Keep this in mind this is only a guideline, you DONT need to use any of the above colour schemes. They look great for these websites I'm not sure how it will look on a savings account website.

    Thanks!

    Nice Matt, your design is currently winning.

    Hi lejka, this is not bad however it is too blue. Perhaps try a white BG or a slight gradient.

    Sorry WDC, it just doesn't suit it. The colours are too strong and the table doesn't look right.
