I am looking for a holding page to be designed. It needs to be generic and be able to go across a wide range of domain names. This is NOT TO look like a parked page with links – but a very cool and professional design that will show off the domain. For an example name please use RXI.com. One thing that is essential is for me to see the domain name very clearly. I’d also like there to be a contact us button some where. You can use pictures, graphics, funky emblems, half page, full page – anything is open at this moment in time – but it MUST look Clean/Fresh & very Professional. If you want to list multiple industries like business, finance, science, medicine, Advertising, movies – Please go ahead and give it a try If you like you can also try it with generic slogans (For all your needs, taking your business to the next level, telling it like it is, etc, etc... Or possibly even text – but please remember it must be suitable for a wide range of domains covering multiple topics. These instructions may change as I see examples – but I will update the thread regularly. So just to Recap - it doesn't have to be a whole page with a navigation bar, etc.. - it can just be a nice design - basically anything that works Prize is $100 and will be paid by Paypal. Feedback will be given on all entries. The winning design that’s delivered must be in PSD (Photoshop Document) Please ONLY post entries on this thread - DO NOT send anything via PM. Competition will end on Friday 16th Jan at 20:00 GMT If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
just layout? no coding right? btw, can you show me an example of the landing page that you want to look like.
Yes i'm just after the layout - what do you mean by coding? sorry but i don't have examples - just great looking designs.
Yes just one page that is suitable for multiple names. Actually it doesn't need to be like a normal page with navigation, etc.. It just has to be a nice design that works.
Vishnu_unlocker - thanks for your entry - I think it's quite nice but not right for what I'm after. It looks too much like a parked page. What I'm after may have no words execept the Domain and the contact us - it could just be a nice design. An example of a very bad holding page is: Zanjo.com - Maybe something like this - but good. Bojomojo - Just the contact us button is okay. I'm not for or against words at this stage. Xavier_3D - No I'm not after a smart parking page - but something different (As parked pages ar just a bit too busy.) You could try something similar with words or something without.
Wasn't too sure still what you wanted. So i tried a couple of different things. Let me know where im headin and i'll work on it.
thanks for the feedback staffjam, here is my second entry...can be edited as per your suggestions, feedback appreciated...
Spekta – Thanks for the designs – but not really what I’m looking for. That seems more like a website with advertising links – this has to be a kick ass holding page that when people look at it they think – wow what a cool design – and that in turn helps show off the name. Vishnu_unlocker – thanks for the second entry. That’s certainly along the lines of what I’m looking for. It does seem a bit plain though. You are on the right track. I'm thinking that it may be good to have the domain inside some funky emblem or symbol that's fresh and clean.
okay, here's a revised version...tried to add some interesting elements, previews with different backgrounds, ....feedback appreciated & its vishu, not vish'n'u ...lol....
Vishu - I like the top design much more now - but i'm looking for a symbol/design/Logo that looks great and that the name is a part of. How about using bubbles - but i'd like it to be crisp and clear Anasone - it's clean - but just not what i'm after. So to recap - i'm looking for a symbol/logo that the name is a part of - and is crisp and clear - you could use bubbles, shiny futuristic symbols. Here are some logos you could use for inspiration - obviously it's a holding page and not a logo - but you could use a standard logo and just grow it. http://akmedia.digidesign.com/global/images/pr/Logos+Misc/Logos/PT7_MP_logo.jpg http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/6061/v1logo1tr7.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg201/DuckduckDEATH/Secret Stuff/Gold.jpg http://www.teriian.com/photolog/therace/Our desktop.jpg http://www.desktoprating.com/images/img41dda5bc725c4.jpg http://www.techtrendgroup.net/logo/ki-300x300-red01d-e3.jpg http://www.ad-design.biz/Logos/LogoGold.gif http://aggregatedmedia.com/images/aggregated_media_logo.png
