Contest [PSD ONLY] Contest #1 - $250 For Website Design - No Coding -

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by zac439, Aug 3, 2010.

    I'm looking for a web design PSD for a local Italian restaurant.

    The current website is too outdated to use.
    Current website: http://www.bambinositaliancafe.com/

    Keep the original logo. Colors may be changed.

    We do not have any pictures of the current menu, but you can use stock photography after looking at their menu found here.

    Contest Rules:
    - I will view the PSD before I send payment. Not negotiable. Check iTrader; I've held three contests like this one in the past.
    - You will not be able to use the design in your portfolio. I will gain all rights to the design.
    - It will run for about a week or until I find something I really like.
    - Upload previews to a URL where it can be deleted after the contest.
    - Ask questions/post designs in thread.

    And if I offer your feedback, please don't take it the wrong way.
    I will try to be as constructive as possible.

    What do you think?

    Obviously I could make any changes you want if you like the design. :)

    I was looking for something a bit more professional. I would prefer to have the menu on a separate page.
    I like this type of professional restaurant web design: http://www.ilgrano.com/
    I liked this too: http://osc4.template-help.com/wt_29203/index.html
    And this: http://osc4.template-help.com/wt_28746/index.html

    PayPal only.

    Thanks! Look forward to seeing it.

    I have one question, as far as I understood, you want a design for the homepage and 1 inner page with the menu, right? ;)

    No. I just mentioned it might not look good on the homepage. The design is only the homepage.
    If you can put in the menu and make it look good, then great! One of the designs I showed that I liked did that.

    And one more thing, do you want us to put the content on the current home page in out design, or you want other stuff there like rectangular fields, apart from the header and navigation bar? Thanks ;)

    The designer should just use filler text as they always do. This is standard.

    Not sure what you're asking about concerning rectangular fields and navigation bars..

    Looking good. I like the creative use of the noodle!

    I didn't like the navigation. The footer needs work as well. The two main menus also have oddly narrow text. I'd like to see a rearrangement there too if possible.

    LOVE this!!

    This is a web designer, people! This person went above and beyond just a web design, and took the time to actually look at the company website for ideas/content.

    I'm not sure how I would improve this. Feel free to submit variants or wait until others post designs & see my feedback then! Thanks so much! (And be sure to check out my other contest too please)
