Here's our concept. We used a blue color scheme to provide a professional look. We used web 2.0 style to make it clear and easy to navigate even though we've created a lot of places for ads as requested. We've incorporated Social Media Networking buttons, testimonials, video, newsletter sign up, get a quote, map & zip code search into the design. For an additional fee we can code the page. Please provide feedback. Thank You
@ RaduTrifan, Thank you for your entry. Nice design, but too busy for what I'm looking for. This looks more like a blog...but again it is nice work. I will award you a payment even though my client, cannot use this design for this project. You are the FIRST person who made an effort and took the initiative to enter this contest and I applaud your efforts! Please PM with your PayPal address and I will send you a payment for your effort as soon as I receive your PayPal. Contest closing in less than 2 hrs. Thanks to all anyways.
Hey, did you not get my PM? Here is my design anyway. Can make ANY changes. I left header blank as I am awaiting your logo to be created so I can add it to the header and also make a header design matching the logo. Also, the map is just there as a sample. I know its not the right one, but as I said its just a sample and can be changed
Thank you for your words and the paypal address will be sent via PM soon. But - we are willing to satisfy your client, so please provide feedback and we'll improve the design / color scheme / concept / layout so that it's more close to what your client wants. The minuses of the contests are that not always you get what you are looking for and the designers just stop from improving designs after submitting several design variations. Let's finish this job and please send more instructions and details via PM regarding the changes you want to have operated in the current designs. Thanks. Radu.
Hi CH I actually sent you a PM yesterday (4.34PM UK time) with my design entry. Don't think you got it But here is the quote of what I did send you. I know you said you will pay RaduTRIFAN but hope you will consider my entry. Again, I can make any changes. Cheers
Hello focused.on.art, can you tell me why you posted this for Caspik? I received entry via pm late from Caspik.
ShadyLady, Thanks for your entry. Colors and layout are not what client was looking for (client was looking for a bit more creativity for project) . I appreciate your effort.
Yes, i can explain this to You. He is friend of mine ( and my digital graphic teacher ). And he want to do it official way so everybody will see his project. He can't post by himself , becouse of lack of valid account for contests yet. I think this is more fair way than private messaging You will have chance to give good or bad itrader either. You can threat this like a team work. So don't worry. Everything is ok.
Contest is now closed. Received winning entry via PM and I will post link when site is live. Thank you to all who participated. I will be holding another contest in a couple of weeks so be on the lookout for that. The next contest may have multiple winners! Thanks again to all of you talented Designers!
