I am looking for a professional looking one page design with header and footer. Only design is needed, no coding. It is for one of my hotel bookings websites which focuses on one particular city/island/area. My requirements: - URL: www.providencialeshotels.co.uk - Design should be optimized for screen resolution of 1024x768. Meaning that it should cover the entire screen with that resolution and should still look good with higher resolutions. - Header needs to be simple with only the domain name in it, ie. "Providenciales Hotels" or "ProvidencialesHotels.co.uk" or something like that and can be either an image or plain text. - Main focus of the design should be a hotel reservations box with the following information: * Check-in date * Check-out date * Nr of Rooms * Nr of Guests * Search button - There should be a box where I can put in some information about the location, around 100 words. - There should be room for showcasing some particular hotels, anything from 4 to 10 different hotels. - The hotel showcases need to show the following: * Hotel picture * Hotel name * Hotel price * NOT necessary, but if it fits in with design it is also possible to have room for a short description of the hotel - Colour scheme: not fixed and entirely up to you, as long as it looks professional - I do not have a link to a site I like, as you will end up copying that and I want you to start fresh and surprise me with good looking, professional designs. - This contest is for designing the homepage only, but the header and footer will be used on all inner pages which look like this http://hotel.providencialeshotels.co.uk/City/Providenciales.htm and you can click through there to see the other pages. Please do NOT focus on that colour scheme, as I will make adjustments to this page according your colour scheme, but it might be handy to at least look at those pages as the header and footer needs to blend in nicely. Payment is through Paypal and contest will run as long as needed, but hopefully only a few days and will update with the exact date after I have received a couple of good entries. Good luck!
@ devearoux: thanks for your entry, but that looks like it is designed for one specific hotel. My website is about one particular city which lists all kinds of different hotels. Also I would say the colours are too dark and I don't want/need the links in the header. In short, sorry, no, not what I am looking for.
Hmmm. Okay. Can you please show me a website similar to yours so that i have an idea about what you are looking for? No links in the header? Okay.
@devearoux: I have sent you a PM @all others: I really don't want to give out sites I like as no website has all my requirements, but please bear in mind that my website will list different hotels, it is a website like hotels.com or booking.com but instead of having hotels all over the world, my website will only display hotels in one particular area, the island of Providenciales.
OK, OK... I will list a few sites that I like, BUT... that doesn't mean you should copy those designs as NO website has everything I like, so PLEASE look at my requirements very carefully before you make any design. http://www.hotelclub.com/United-States/New-York-City-hotels/ http://www.booking.com/city/us/new-york.html http://www.hotels.com/de1506246/hotels-new-york-new-york/ What I do like in above websites is the simple header and that the searchbox is above the fold, other then not much, so again, please read my requirements.
I have some trouble trying to understand what you need, my entry: I will make an update when you give some (hopefully clarifying) feedback.
@SiLvER: well, basically it has all the things I want, so in that regard you got it right. But in general it does look a bit plain and I'm also not sure about the search box inside the header. The header and footer will also be used on the inner pages and it will be confusing to have a search box in the header on pages like this http://hotel.providencialeshotels.co.uk/Hotel/Comfort_Suites_Turks_Caicos_Islands_Providenciales.htm and it will mean 2 search boxes on pages like http://hotel.providencialeshotels.co.uk/City/Providenciales.htm So can you move the search box to the main content area and try to spice up the overall design somehow so it looks modern and professional. Thanks.
Thanks Stella, it is not what I asked for, but it looks very nice. Can you give me printscreens of what the inner pages will look like with your header and footer? http://hotel.providencialeshotels.co.uk/Hotel/Comfort_Suites_Turks_Caicos_Islands_Providenciales.htm http://hotel.providencialeshotels.co.uk/City/Providenciales.htm Thanks.
I would also like to ask that everybody interested in this contest to reply here in this thread with the design, do not only send me a PM. thanks again.
