$100 Website Design Contest - 2 pages only

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by webwurks, Jun 9, 2009.

    We are having a contest to redesign cheapused.com. This contest is for the design and creation of two webpages; a home page and a product dynamic listing page. The winner of this contest will be expected to provide PSD, HTML and CSS files.

    I'd like the home page to be mostly text links grouped by these main groups with subgroup as described below:

    Autos: cars, trucks & motorcycles (maybe campers too)
    Powersports: boats, jetskis, atvs, snowmobiles, under 50cc, & trailers
    Electronics: computers, laptops, cellphones, video games, iPod&MP3
    Books: college textbooks, fiction, non-fiction, exam guides

    The site header would have a navigation that linked to all these groups / subgroups.


    Under each subgroup there would be text links. For example, under Cars there would be 8-10 links like these:
    MAKE
    Ford
    Chevrolet
    Toyota
    Chrysler
    and so on in one column

    then in a column next to the one above and still under CARS would be a 2nd column like
    PRICE
    $100 - $1,000
    $1,001 - $2,000
    $2,001 - $3,000
    $3,001 - $4,000
    and so on.

    LIST PAGE
    The rest of the pages would contain products with photos and product details and I want it to look something like this page:

    http://www.vast.com/cars/used-for-sale-Ford

    *note: Not the header of this page but the body where the search results start to be displayed. Three columns with similar "refine your search" links on the right; product listings with photo & product details in center column; right column would be for ads.

    I want to keep the existing logo. PM me for more details.

    A number of people have asked the same question so I thought I would clarify. We will make decision on our contest winner from your design comps (JPEG images will do). Once we have chosen a winner then we will need the PSD, HTML and CSS files.

    *** You don't need to submit HTML, CSS & PSDs to enter the contest. ***

    You can post your entries here or send them to us via PM.

    Thanks for all your interest.

    Can you attach a copy of the logo without the background image?

    Thanks.

    Hiya

    The logo seems to lose its quality when put into photoshop - the edge of the font doesn't appear as smooth as it does on your current website.

    Do you know what font was used so that I can try and re-create it?

    Thanks.

    What is the color of your background? I'll create another transparent with that color matting.

    I tried it on a white background so if you can do that that'll be great.

    Thanks.

    Hiya,

    Here is my first attempt. Feedback is appreciated.

    I hope I've interpreted what you meant in your description about the four groups.

    Thanks.

    I really like where you are going with this design.

    I am not sure it needs the color (istock) photos. I'd also like to see less "white space" at the top. This is primary "real estate" for a page so I'd like header to be smaller.

    Also the primary navigation should be HOME, AUTOS, POWERSPORTS, ELECTRONICS, BOOKS, CONTACT & a search box. I would like this main navigation to have drop down menus that list the subcategories under these main categories.

    We also need to show the subcategories in the blocks on the main page. So under AUTOS there should be CARS, TRUCKS, MOTORCYCLES, CAMPERS links/sections. One suggestion I have to so show links to the primary subcategory when the home page first loads and have the other subcategories listed under the links section. When the visitor clicks on one of these other subcategories it would expand to show the links for that subcategory and replace the previously displayed links.

    For example, under the AUTOS block it would first show CARS with the MAKE & PRICE links for CARS. Then under these links would be the other subcategories (ie. TRUCKS, MOTORCYCLES, CAMPERS) When the visitor clicked on MOTORCYCLES, it would expand up and replace the MAKE & PRICE links for cars.

    Feel free to contact me with any questions. THANKS for your entry.
