    Hey Guys!

    It's oneawesomeguy again with one of my Famous contests! Please read the rules section.

    ABOUT ME:
    I have been hosting contests here on DP for two years. I have hosted dozens of contests (usually about once or twice a month). I always comment on every design, announce a winner, and I always pay.
    Check out my post history: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=160715&starteronly=1
    Check out my iTrader: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/itrader.php?u=160715

    WEBSITE DETAILS:
    1. This website is for a distributor that sells three products: this product, LED lights (in the future), and a filtration system (in the future). Please look at the PDF document I've attached. Feel free to use the text or images from it.
    2. The company is a "green" eco-friendly company
    3. The company belongs to the US Green Building Council and you can use their logo on the website: http://www.usgbc.org/
    4. The website should be minimalistic
    5. Company logo: Logo Big | Logo Small
    6. Website Menu: About Us, 3 product pages, Contact, LEED Info, News

    CONTEST DETAILS:
    1. Submit web design entries for 48 hours from the time stamp on this post. Revisions on entries can be made after the 48 hours are up.
    2. To be fair: No entries via PM and no late entries, please.
    3. Once 48 hours is up, I will review all designs thoroughly and give my thoughts/opinions on every single design. This usually takes me 2-3 days (but sometimes takes longer as I may require a response from someone else, please be patient).
    4. I will allow revisions to be made for 24 hours to give everyone a chance to win.
    5. Winner provides .PSD (or .XCF for GIMP users) file and fonts used. I will send $100 via PayPal and give honest iTrader.

    RULES:
    By submitting an entry, you agree to the following:
    1. You must create the designs yourself. No templates. You must not use any images you do not have the right to use.
    2. If you use watermarks, it must say "Sample" (for consistency). Do not let watermarks affect your design. I recommend not using them.
    3. You agree to let me use a representation of your design. If you do not win, you keep all rights and your design will not be made into a website. Feel free to remove it from this contest.
    4. By accepting the winnings, winner agrees to transfer me full rights to that design and you agree that you will not use the winning design for anything else.

    The 48 hour deadline will be enforced as long as there are at least five entries. One person can submit as many entries as he or she wants.

    SUGGESTIONS:
    1. For images, check out iStockPhoto or similar sites and use their free comps. Only pay for the images if you win (Note: No istockphoto logos on the winning design sent to me).
    2. For colour combinations, check out colourlovers.com--an awesome website!

    Thanks, good luck, and have fun!

    -Christopher

    P.S. Be sure to subscribe or check back for updates before the deadline. I will be sure to give some helpful tips. :)

    @leetsooc: Nice design. I will wait to mention specifics on your design until I see some other entries. One thing to note: No need for a newsletter. This is a standard brochure type website with nothing too fancy. Keep it simple. :)

    Here is an About the Company/Website document that will help a lot with everybody's design efforts.

    To those who are having problems downloading the files, here is a big .zip file with all the documents included in this thread and many more. Please note that the majority of those PDF documents are about the manufacturer of the product NOT the company this website is for (this company sells this product; see OP). Please PM me if you have any problems downloading any of the files or any questions.

    I am looking forward to seeing more entries!

    Great designs so far guys!

    Here are some website designs that would be great for this company. Use these for inspiration:
    clearedgepower.com
    lime-energy.com

    Here is a Flash intro we will probably use in the finished website:
