Feel free to ask me questions, I am open to discussions before you start the design

 

I'll be submitting my entry later tonight.

 

please take your time. ask any questions you have. This site is really important to me, and as you would like to take the prize, I would also like to have the best possible design

 

is this the same as the other one? or is this for the layout in your site? if it is can i only submit a logo? should i repost it here?

 

i would like to give this a try

 

as you wish. Here goes all together site + logo. Only logo goes there not to mess up the contest

 

may i design only .psd? any wireframe please?
thanks

 

if you mean.design the site only then yes
the contest prize was broken into a few stages

you may design the site or only the logo or both

i will need the source files from you
the coder already

coding is separate and i have

 

Is the prize money for the home page only? And you'll offer extra for the inner pages? Or if this is for the home page AND inner pages, how many inner pages are there?

I was about to start but after I read that inner pages were needed I'm a bit hesitant that I'll end up needing to do a bunch of pages.

 

Here.. i comes up with my entry! I don't know is that type you're loving!

 

thanks for your time stardesigns99 but thats surely not what I am looking for

please recheck the full list of requirements I have specified.

 

HI KimKiyaa,

Thanks for your interest. As you wish. You may NOT submit the inner page design is you dont want to and go for the homepage only. I do have my designers that will be able to take care of the inner pages in any case.

let me know if you any more questions

 

When i was designing, that req. was not added, you lately added those!

Anyway, thanks for your feedback!

 

sorry but it was there for sure, I spent an hour before publishing the thread thus I am sure you might have not noticed it because of the adsense units that pop out in DP

 

are there more submissions incoming?

do you guys have questions to me ?

 

i should have mines done by tomorrow

 

will be waiting. There is also another designer who asked for 3-5 days which I am ready to wait

 

Decided to make your job a bit easier. I have compiled a list of sites and a few comments that might help you get a better idea of the site's design
