k i'm out of this one. Ill use the psd I made for you as a free template for EVERYONE good luck remaining contestants.
you can buy a really nice template by the way for $25 from envato marketplace that will beat any design here :/
hey, here's an update, remove retweet widget, adding recent work sidebar it's resized version, full version sent via pm to CH feedback appreciated simple and yet elegant have fun.
LOL you are funny guy man. if CH decide to run a contest here, it's mean he want a unique or custom design envato marketplace is good and cheap price i think, but everyone can buy and use for their website that's mean how many website use the same template?
i agree with jharrvis, it's kinda like an insult for the CH and us the designers saying that he can get templates from other sites, i'm sure the CH already considered that option but opted for a custom design.
@Khirtane: It's way too simple. I like the glossy apples..but not for a web development site...maybe an apple orchad? Nice try though. @krisdude: It's cool, but I don't like it. The footer being bigger then the content is a real big turn off on this one. @jharrvis: I like the other version. Where you have the portfolio items in the sidebar. I think we already have a recent posts thing below the header. No need to add one to the sidebar as well. Also, I don't like the headers in the footer. They don't seem to match the top. And I don't like how that red color makes them look. @flagged: I don't really like the menu. I do like the web design/web development buttons, but apart from that, I dont think that's what I'm looking for. It's a nice desing though. @leetsooc: Hm.. Its all out of proportion and I don't like that. The header is square, adn the rest is rounded, and it doesn't seem to flow into it well. At least that ws my first impression. I do like the content here better than it was in the first one, but I dont like the way the categories and that stuff is done. It's not uniform and I just don't like it in general. (Edit: The uniformity. I like the design) The standings for the top 3 are as follows: MattB (design submitted by pm) and Jharrvis tied for first, and leetsooc has 3rd. Also, I am attaching a copy of the logo with out the shadow. You can all thank scorpionagency for this copy. The contest will probably be over in the next 72 hours unless we get more amazing designz, in which case..well we will deal with it when we cross that road. Another thing, the top 3 finalist, after this contest is over, can expect design work if they would like, that we will outsource from ndesignz. Talk to me after the contest is over and we will set up some terms or something? Regards, Nick
Thanks for the feedback, is it possible to give some links to designs you like? so we can have a clearer picture of what your going for. Thanks
See if this helps a bit: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=748222 If not, I'll go find a couple of more and let you know. But I mean if you look at jharrvis's and leetsooc's designs, that's kind of the type of stuff i'd like. MattB, if you can post your's up too, so that people can see, that'd be great. Btw, I'm not saying steal what these designers have creted, but this should give you an idea. Regards, Nick
