Web Design Contest for Credit Check Website - 96 Hours - $200

Hello everyone,
(Please Remove the # in the URLs below)
This contest is for a website which I intend to put up at my address: www.check#my#credit.co.uk. I have an affiliate account with Experian.co.uk and want to put up a site to try and earn some money through sign-ups for credit reports.

For inspiration, I like Web 2.0 design sytle and I like these 3 websites:
credit#check#forfree.co.uk: This is my favourite. I like the clean simple design and the colours.
uk#creditreport#4free.co.uk: I like the big banner in the top-half of the website and the four pictures below.
get#myfree#report.co.uk: This is a good site as well. I not just as keen on the colours here though as it feels darker overall which I dont like. I do like the simple design again and also the short picture slideshow on the top right.

If someone can do the coding as well, that would be great. I will offer an extra $60 on top of the $200.
The winner will be paid by Paypal. There will be a guaranteed winner. I can say this becuase I have been watching contests for a while and am always blown away by the quality of the designs. Please feel free to watermark your work; I will be able to appreciate the design underneath.
I would very much appreciate it if entries are posted here in the thread if at all possible because I have noticed that some other designers dont like contests dominated by PM'ed entries.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply.
I was thinking about 96 hours which would mean somewhere around 4pm on Thursday 18th.
If anyone needs a bit of extra time, just ask because there is no big pressurised deadline.
Thanks

Hi there,

How about something like this? Some images are watermarked as they're from istockphoto - they will need to be purchased if the design is chosen.

Thanks for the entry & thanks for posting here in the thread..(rep added!).
I like the star shaped 'Order Now' button and the images are nice particularly the smiling lady. Message understood about istockphoto.
Regarding the navigation bar at the top of the page, having thought about it, I will just need 3 tabs: 'Home', 'Benefits' and 'Order Now' (the order now button will just be a link directly to Experian's sign-up page).
I was wondering if it would be possible to make the page a bit taller. It feels just a little short for me. One advantage will be that I would be able to fit in a bit more content and stuff in plenty of SEO friendly keywords.

Thank you for the feedback. I have edited the menu as required and made the page slightly longer. I've left all of the main points and focus areas in place as you have already stated that you like those, and created a section beneath it in order to add further content.

If you would like to let me know what needs to go in that area I can draw something up for you.



Many thanks,

VictoriaAnn

Hello Everyone
Thanks for the entries. I appreciate the time taken to create these.
I have been asked about the contest closing time. It was meant to be today (Thursday) at 4pm UTC. I will extend this until 8pm UTC on Saturday 20th.
In fairness to everyone, I will make this the one and only extension.
Thanks

Thanks for the entry.
I like the big bold Experian box on the left hand side. I would have prefered some pictures in the design (maybe a picture of a person). Also I like the pictorial representations of the reasons to check your credit (car, credit cards, house) as shown in the websites I mentioned above.
Thanks
Prune

 

I'll submit my entry, please wait for me.

 

My Entry

Pretty sure I've added all the features you wanted. If you choose my design, then you'll have to pay for the pic of the women with the shopping! (I Photoshopped the watermark out for now) - http://www.istockphoto.com/file_clo...an-standing-with-shopping-bags.php?id=6611635 - (Feel free to take the price of the $200 winnings)

The design is heavily text based, giving you good SEO content

If you want any changes made, just give me a shout

OK, click the preview below...



Cheers,

Jack
