Contest $100 website design contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Whitey, Oct 26, 2009.

    I need a stylish, modern website design for a free host I will be setting up. I don't have a specific design in mind so you are free to go with whatever you think works.

    I will however show you some sites I like the look of:

    http://www.l4rge.com/
    http://www.hosthelpers.com/

    I think if anyone can recreate one of these sites in a way that isn't copying them, we will have a winner.

    Just as a side note: I reserve the right to not pick any winner if I feel the contest has ended without a design I am happy with. I'm sorry if this aggravates you but I need it to be fair for both of us.

    Contest ends 48 hours from now.

    Payments will be made via Paypal.

    Thanks, and good luck! :)

    Well I dont think it is needed. As the seller says, that he will code it, so he can always replace the default name in the template by the actual

    I haven't got a name in mind, yet. Everything is still in the development stages.

    Here's some more info:

    The header should be clear cut from the actual content, like it is on those sites in my first post. Header can be dark, and you don't need to design a logo but it might be in your favour if you do.

    Homepage needs to have a nice clean look to it, but modern, in order to give a short summary of what the website provides. Maybe on the index have a box uptop with the package description like on http://hosthelpers.com/.

    Looking forward to the designs :)

    I kinda wanted to give the feeling of bright and colorful to bring attention to the promo spot instantly. Its very simple and the text space in under developed because thats more of coding work and I didn't know what kinda text layout you wanted so I kinda just went freestyle and I think I got something modern :)

    This is 3/5 of the actual size ( about 200 width wise smaller )

    Some feedback:

    kolgames - Not really what I'm looking for to be honest, way too green.
    bb-x - Please don't try to rip me off with a TM design.
    Sarahmclaughlanx - It's not too bad, but leaves a lot to be desired. Namely the content areas.
    Atomeyezd - Looks too much like HostHelpers if I'm honest.
    Lipgut - I like how you went with the colours, certainly is modern.
    angele803 - Really nice. Probably the best one so far :) All I can say is try to make it a bit more "Web 2.0" looking with the list down the right hand side. But I really like the promo bit with the server background.

    Thanks for all the entries so far, and I look forward to seeing more tomorrow :)
