    Getter better now ;P.

    Try putting the actual logo on a white background. Make that sidebar black, and a little skinner, and put it on the right side. Im not liking that color. The pinkish one. You know that little logo you have in the footer. Turn in 90 degrees, and put it into that black bar on the side (it should be linked to home). The latest news should only take up half the column. I don't like the text going sideways (plus it will be hard to code with WP)

    I have to run, when I get back, I'll see if i find anything else that could be changed.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Here it is with the nav on the right & a little more personality. (Still a ruff draft)

    btw, the order button is going on the bottom of the largest 'band'. Just haven't gotten around to making it yet....

    Still to dark. I dont like the colors at all. Should be simple, and professional.


    SO far, I like this one the most. not sure what I want changed right now. I want to see the finished version.

    Btw, just so everyone knows, I am NOT a designer. I do coding for a living. ndesignz, is a company that will be CODING designs, not designing them :p

    thanks :)
    I'll finish it up tommorow afternoon.
    I have to ask... do you want like a "showcased" recent design (like I have now)? or would you rather a "what we do" kinda passage right there instead?

    and... when do you think you will end this contest... just so I have a time frame... :)

    I like the layout, and some of the color usage, but not the layout. Don't like the really big thumbnails. Probably something else, but can't think about it now.


    I am sorry. I must have missed it by accident. I like the first one more than the second one, but I don't think I want to use images for any text other than my logo and maybe that side menu, so I think I want "Testimonials" and all that other stuff in text (no effects so i can code using css and font). The menu on the side needs more padding. Check out how www.graphics.net looks like.

    I don't really like that order now button. I want the button to fit in with the image, which means I am probably going to have to design one, or you could give it a try with your designs.

    An extra $10 for the person that comes up with the best image for that spot. Has to fit into the design I choose, or if you are designing, just design that image. Shouldn't be too hard. (I would prefer something that is vectorized rather than the use of images on the internet, but just make it look good)

    Regards,
    Nick

    What sort of image do you want designed?

    and I'M not too sure about what you mean by "menu on the side needs more padding".
    Don't get how mine and graphics.net is different.lol. They're just plain, really. :eek:

    as in more space in between each link. Maybe 10px on either side?

    I think that big menu is putting me off a whole lot.
