Contest will end by 13th of October. However if we find a winner within three days from now the prize will be $200! This image will show you what we want changed (Anything between the red lines). http://i35.tinypic.com/xc2eiu.png We want to keep the header and footer the same. I'm looking for a fresh new design to our current homepage. Our current homepage is a bit boring. We are looking for something that will catch people's attention but at the same time let them know it's a automotive social networking site. Here is the content we want added: Left Column 1) Guest Message + Showing off features (Do not need this created, just space for it) 2) A block containing 5 columns and 2 rows of images (AJAX Powered to show Latest Rides, Updated Rides & Latest Members) 3) Ride of the week + spacing for text) Right Column (At least 300px for Ad) 1) 300x250px Ad 2) Blog Info (Showing latest news from our blog) 3) Forum Info (Latest Forum Activities) Feel free to add your creativity and any other blocks you may see as necessary. If any questions please let me know.
So sorry for the lag! I've extended the contest another week and will start critiquing right now. Contest ends the 20th! Forgot to mention this on top but we want the page to be viewable in 1024x768 resolution
We would like the Guest Message to belong on the left column as it is taking up too much space. I forgot to mention this but we want it to fit 1024x768 resolution. Nice and clean however we believe it's a bit plain. Thank you for your entry however we don't feel like this design fits our overall site. Wow very nice and sleek looking Like I mentioned to the other entries, we would like it to fit 1024x768 resolution so if you can reduce the white space (or padding) Having a guest message on top of the guest message box is obsolete, so if you can remove the top one. Also can you darken the overall design a bit because it's a bit hard on the eyes. We love the title's font however please reduce the size. I believe it is taking up unnecessary space. A bit hard to see. Can you upload this again in higher resolution?
Thank you for your two entries however we need something sleeker. Having two rides of the week isn't necessary. Having our logo as the icon for Ride of the week isn't what we are looking for. We don't need the member login box (Changing the header so that it is included). Thank you for your entry however we feel as though the design doesn't fit our site Very sleek however it doesn't fit our site. Possibly make it use more of our site colors instead of silver?
