    Hi All,

    We need someone to redesign our homepage - no coding. The required content can be seen at www.nimble.ie - i.e. log in function, random pics etc. However if you have ideas about how this content should be presented - this should be incorporated into your design. We are open to all suggestions.

    We need a site to that stands out from all other similar sites, that is attractive to first time visitors and offers something to returning visitors that attracts them back in. It's needs gloss and gradients possibly. All ideas and suggestions about the design welcomed.

    You can find the logo at the following location: http://www.nimble.ie/Graphics/Logo_ie.jpg.

    - $100 payment to the winner
    - Paypal Only
    - Contest open until 7th June 2007

    Hi guys,

    Thank you for the two designs we have received so far. Very impressive!
    One change of heart for other designers: if you could, please include a coded design as well (ie css, html etc).

    Note to you who have already submitted your designs: no worries! You're ok since I was late in disclosing this info! :)

    Regards
    jejjcop

    I think the format of you site will change.. "Cause when ever a person comes to a site where people talk or meet the first visitors to see what kinds of people on board of the site.."

    Here is the draft of my design work :

    Well jejjcop, I enjoy the interfaces of the most popular community websites as they are usually designed in a modern, web 2.0 fashion. If I were honest, I don't think your current logo has any appeal let alone for a community website as harsh as this may sound. When you take a look at your competitors, you will see that their logo is brandable and memorable - while fishes are unique, I wouldn't be attracted to the logo personally.

    Hi All,

    Thanks for all the submission above.

    We have taken Scarlet Edition's advice and are now also running a logo competition here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=350050

    Feedback for submissions above:
    sempai: Nice and clean. Maybe lacks some colour. Like the 5 boxes as are nice and compact and people viewing can see all in one glance. Like the big ad box too. So maybe more colour and gloss


    supernoobice: Really like the sea/sky/cloud at the top. Well linked to logo. However may be possible advert space so may not have use for this bit. Would like to see some colour in the home/mypage/fun etc links. There is no need for the welcome text and more text on Join Us as we will prob end up repeating ourselves. Any ideas on how to use the space to the left of the little pics? Also I like the stars/little pics used.

    Alis: Think the colours are too dark. Looking for somthing clean and bright. The logo doesnt sit well in the top box - white behind this would maybe work better. Maybe try yellow & orange for the colours beaming from behind and overall. I like the bigger pics as easier to see who is actually on the site and can be checked out easily. Also like the design at the bottum.

    Scarlet Edition: Like the sign up button. Are you going to come back with a competed page? Please participate in the logo contest with your ideas.

    Thanks for everything so far.
