Hey Guys, I've been looking over my site, and even though it's not finished, I think I am going to go for a redesign. I like it, but at the same time, it looks a bit outdated, and not exactly as flashy as I would like it to be. (When I say flashy, I don't mean for it to have FLASH, but just be something that when people look at it, they say "WOW! Now that's a company I'd like to go with") As you see, it is currrently powered with wordpress, and I would like to keep it that way. The design needs to have at the minimum a home page, blog page, portfolio page, testimonials page, and a contact us page. For this contest, I'll accept just the first page, after which, the person that I pick will create the other pages to match the first page. (This contest is for all 5 pages, but I just don't people to waste their time doing 5 pages if I won't even like 1) Attached you'll find my logo. I'd like to keep that, so please design around it. I would like to have some kind of jquery slider type thing on the home page. That's up to you guys to decide if you want to put it in there or not. I'm not saying do it if it will make you design differently then you would normally. I just want the page to look really good. Apart from that we will keep the jquery to the minimum on the site. This site has been sitting a while, so I would really like someone to do this, and a winner is guaranteed. No time frame, but first one that blows my mind is the winner, so lets see some really good things. Oh, and I would like to incorporate tweeter, facebook, and youtube later. (Just like follow us on tweeter, or check us out on facebook, subscribe to our youtube videos?) Stuff like that would be nice. Again, not required. Let me see what you guys got. Oh and btw, the site is "n-d-e-s-i-g-n-z.c-o-m" without the dashes. Thanks, Nick EDIT: This is just for the PSD. I dont need you to code it for me. EDIT: Any design you make here can not go in your portfolio with my logo or any mention of the company. The winning designer transfers all rights to the design to me, and that design can not be in any portfolio weather it has my logo in it or not.
I do anything that relates to xhtml coding, so psd to xhtml/css, psd to wordpress, we will offer design work, like building sites from scratch for companies and people, etc..
nickzakharyan (at) comcast.net is my msn nick.zakharyan is my skype. but i dont use skype while im working, so your best bet is MSN
Your logo is pixelated, no matter how good my design is it will look horrible with that logo. Do you have a better version?
Hmm.. It's not pixelated on my comp. Must be DP compressing it. I have a .DPA file of the logo. Know how to open that? I'll also upload the logo to my site. http://www.ndesignz.com/logo.png
@Ghurabaa: That's not really what I'm looking for. I'd like it to be more portfolio oriented, since this is basically my portfolio site as much as it's my services site. If you look on the site now, it has portfolio items. I would like to have that kind of concept on the new design as well. Not all items, but a featured item or something like that I think is a must. I'd like it to look really professional. Let's not list services on the front page at all. We can do a small about us, saying we do web development, but actually putting in services and prices on the first page is not what I want to do. Looking forward to more tries. Regards, Nick
Let me know if you like where I'm going with this... On individual pages you would just have 1 main window to stretch the length of those 3 You will see a footer just below as well. Social networking buttons can be incorporated in there as well.
@ fujimoto: It sort of has the same feel as the current site, maybe a little more boring. I definately don't want anything square unless you can make it look real good. I personally don't like round corners, but in some parts it shouldn't be too bad. It's also to dark in my opinion. I definately want white in there. That logo looks best on a light color, because it causes it to contrast well. At least i think so. Everyone, you can resize the logo, it doesn't have to be that size. Regards, Nick
So.. 1. You don't want dark theme 2. You don't want boring square design May I ask why you made the logo black and red, that limits your options. Just saying... I'll give another try on a light theme with not so boring squareness
Sorry, but I'm sure if I put the current design of the site next to the mock up you gave me, and compare the two, you'd pick the current design over yours. No offense. It's too simple. This is a web development company. We will be doing web designs for companies, so obviously the site needs to have an amazing design. Of course the designer who does the site will also be offered lots of work later on. The logo is dark, but it does have white parts to it, as well as shadows. Digital Points Logo is dark, but its on a whiteish background. I can show you way more logos which are dark and are on white backgrounds. Isn't that what "CONTRAST" is all about? Regards, Nick
