$25 New Header and Site Makeover (Simple)

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by mrhodus, Jun 23, 2011.

    I've changed the winning amount to $75. The winner will win $75.

    I am wanting to give this site a fresh makeover: Here is the site

    I'm looking for a fresh new look. I want it to be simple and clean, but still classy.

    In the header, I would like to add this picture in place of the black background: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...6872118749.156631.130181943749&type=1&theater
    If this one isn't a good picture there are more here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.346872118749.156631.130181943749

    In the header on the right side, I would like to remove Centerville and Troy and also remove the phone numbers. I would like to add the following to the header:

    Free Nationwide Shipping
    30 Day Returns
    800.555.2222

    If possible, I would like to add these logos to the header:
    Tacori
    Simon G
    Verragio
    Scott Kay

    In place of the slideshow on the homepage, I would like a simple white background that is divided into 4 sections. Here are the images to add to each section:
    section 1: http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/rhodusmark/1898_1296750231.jpg
    section 2: http://static.weddingandrings.com/wedrings/2010/05/scott-kay-wedding-rings.jpg
    section 3: make a similar section to the last two using pictures here
    Section 4: here

    Be sure to keep the Voted Best Jeweler by activedayton.com 2 Years Running somewhere on the site. Feel free to redesign this banner.

    I will pay by Paypal

    fritzielynn - I'm not sure that I like the header and here is why: I don't care for the swirl over the picture, I'm not a big fan of the picture that you chose to use, and you weren't very creative about putting the logos into the header. However, I absolutely LOVE the 'Voted Best Jeweler' banner that you made. And thank you for following directions and showing me what the entire site will look like.

    technoguy- I do like your idea with the logo's in the header. You may make the background of the logo's white though. I'm not sure I'm a fan of using the three pictures to make the header. It seem too busy. I also think that you could be a little more creative with the text in the header. You also left out the Voted Best Jeweler in Dayton banner.

    People are people - I'm not sure that I like the three pictrues in the header it seems a little busy. I definitely don't like the red lights in the middle picture. I LOVE what you did with the logos in the header. That is perfect. I think that you could be a little more creative with the text on the right side of the header. I would like to see what it looks like all together. Don't forget the 'Voted Best Jeweler' banner. Also, If you could make the EDC logo stand out a little more.

    dlightcreative - I'm not liking the collage of pictures in the header. I do really like your use of logo's and text on the right side of the logo. I think that you misunderstood the center banner. It is not going to be a slideshow anymore...see what the others made.

    Please note everyone: I was expecting a whole new look to the site, not just replacing the headers.

    Congrats, People Are People.

    Just a side note... I hope that next time you can think of some other variation and not just merely copying and do a little revision of somebody else's work. I mean, it's so evident on your work. The color scheme, image layout, text styles and text layout of your banner is almost a 100% copy of the entry ahead of yours. You know whose work that is. :cool:
