$150 site design for charity website

Hello DPers,

We are looking for a quality web design for our new charity website called CreativeGiving.org. The winner will receive $150 via paypal. The contest will go until we have chosen a winner. Below are the details.

About the site:

Our website will allow people to create their own fundraising webpage to accept donations. Basically we will offer similar services as this site: firstgiving.com. We dont want a copy of this site, but we wanted to show you this so you know what the functionality is of the site. There is one big difference between our site and this one; and that is that through our website, donators will be able to donate cash via paypal or by donating their time. We have partnered with various corporations that have agreed to donate money in exchange for people doing various tasks online. So we would like to emphasize this donating option on our front page

Here are some websites where we like the design: socialvibe.com and bettertheworld.com. We want our design to be professional looking and eye-catching.

Basically what we want in terms of the website layout is similar to socialvibe.com where we want people to see 3 "steps", but we dont want these to be boxes, something similar to socialvibe where the steps are separated but not necessarily boxed. Here are the 3 steps:

1. Create an online fundraising page
2. Share with your family and friends
3. Collect cash donations via
A. Paypal
B. Time

And next to each of these steps, we would like a picture showing what the step means. For example, next to or below the first step have a screenshot of what the website will look like (similar to how firstgiving has it) with a button below that says "Create Fundraising Page." And next to step 2 have an image of maybe facebook or myspace pages or maybe an image of a person that is connected to a "web" of other people. Something showing that the user needs to tell everyone. And the third step should have an image of the paypal logo for the first donating option and then next to the "Time" donating option, put logos of these companies: Blockbuster, GAP, and Discover Card. Make this donating option bigger than the paypal.

And below all of this, you can add something like "Want to donate to a charity, but don't have money? Then donate your time." Or something to that effect.

There are no specific colors, you can use whatever you think looks good. Remember, we are paying for quality.

And if you could have some simple logo made up in the upper left hand corner, that would make it look a lot better. Also, include menu tabs somewhere in the design (the same tabs that socialvibe uses at the top of their site).

Feel free to kind of mix anything up and be creative. You can post your submission here or send it to me via PM.

Thanks

when will this contest end? I want to get started on it but if it ends soon i dont want to waste time

 

It is not ending anytime soon, you will have plenty of time to enter

 

Hey, the three steps, do you want them horizontally in a large box, or as the main content one below the other?

 

We would want them to be horizontally but not necessarily in a box format. we would like the 3 steps less formal, if that makes sense

 

Hi..

I have good working exp., in PHP/Mysql. I can do coding also with design.

Thanks

 

ok, you can submit your entry here.

 

i will enter ............

 

I will try to enter soon..

 

I've started on something, and I'd like to know what you think!



Could you elaborate on what you want to go in the main content area?

Thanks!
-Will

 

I am interested. I will enter soon.

 

I like where you're going with this, but I would like to see different colors in there somewhere. Everything just seems blue. For example you could put the actual logos in there. You can change some of the borders to a different color.

As for the rest of the page, you can add a spot below that says something to the effect of "Don't have money to donate? No problem". Also, below that you can just copy what socialvibe has on their site, with the pics of users and other featured items. That will do for now.

 

hmm, thanks for not giving me feedback.
