I can make any changes you require but please do let me know if there is any point in continuing with this design or if it's not what your looking for...
My updated entry. I probably have still missed something here... staring at it for an hour can do that to oneself... and when you hover over the order button it would turn to this: Feedback please
Don't really like it sorry. I think it looks nice, but I like wills design a lot, so I think I will stick with it. I don't know yet, but probably no use continuing on that design. As I told shady a quote above you, I think I am going to go with wills design here. Yours does look nice, don't get me wrong, but I am just not feeling it for some reason. Regards, Nick
I am really liking this design as I have mentioned above. Some things I don't like in it though, which I think are stopping me from choosing it as a definite winner. Maybe I am being to picky, but that menu doesn't catch my attention to much. I think it's not right there. Or maybe it's just me. Try adding a bit more padding to the links, and maybe make the words stand out a bit more somehow. I don't know. But the menu really isn't that big of a concern for me at the moment. There is also the footer. It seems a tad bit basic. The site you designed looks great, but then you have that footer, and it turns out to be a bit on the down side. Of course, that isn't my main concern either. What my main concern at the moment is, of course, how the rest of the site would look. Meaning, the home page looks nice, but the way it's designed, I've been looking at it for hours now, on and off, but can't seem to find a good way to make it look good on a single page. Any Ideas? That's it for now i think. Regards, Nick
Ok. I'll stop then. I reckon cos you like Wills' so much, you should close the contest and pay Will the $50, so others don't waste their time... and then if ya want changes made by him, ask him through PM or whatever, after the payment. cya
Shady, you might be right, but because I like wills doesn't mean someone can't come up with a design that I would like even better, right? . At the moment, I like his the most. I will end the contest in 48 hours, that way I will have enough time to set up the site before I go to europe on thursday, which also gives enough time for any straglers to make a new design. Regards, Nick
What single pages are you going to include? I'll think up some ideas for each one of them... (If you want me to individually create each one of them and make them all pretty I will for a little extra cash. Ideas are free though ) and I will change around the navigation menu and the footer.
For the single pages, Ill need a couple, adn of course i wasn't expecting them to be free. (Im not willing to pay an arm and a leg for them, but if you can pm me a quote for it, if I choose your design, I'll have you make them) I will need a page for the about. A page for the portfolio. A page for each single project. A page for the blog. And a page for the services I offer (and probably an order form or something on there). I think that's it. For the footer, maybe if you make it dark, like the top, so that the design isn't too dark heavy at the top, it might look good. (or whatever you were gonna do) Regards, Nick
Just did this before I saw your last post.. my other idea for the footer was to make it dark... but I did this one first. I'll try it dark right now. I dont usually pay much attention to the navigation menu because I find that it is impossible to make it look the same coded, as it does in photoshop... so I usually just slap something there. I can spend more time on it if you need me too.... For all the single pages you have I was thinking about having something that could go in the big gray " banner" at top of the page and then something to go in the white space below. For each project it could be a overview in the "gray banner", and then more specifics in the white space below. For the blog it could be your featured post in the "gray banner", and then the rest of the posts below. For the services you offer it could be your "packages" in the gray banner, and then a detailed description of what is standard or whatever in the white space below. for the portfolio... I cant think of something, but I'm sure there is something cool. Hope that gave you an idea of what I mean. ps. if you wanted me to design each page I would probably charge you around $10 - $20 dollars a page... so you have around 5 other pages so $75 extra or so.
The new one looks pretty cool to with the footer. Concerning the menu, don't worry about how it's going to be coded. I can code it pretty much exactly as it looks (just depends on the complexity, so more complex will take me longer, but I don't mind). The way you did it now, I don't really like to much. One thing I definately want is for a good "hover/active" effect, if you know what I mean. Like when I hover over it, or on that page, I want it to have a good active effect. Preferably they should have the same effect on each link, that way it's not a lot of code and a big image. The single page thing sounds nice, and so do your prices. I'll give it another 48 hours, and unless something amazing happens, and someone comes out with a really good design that blows your's out of the water, I'll select your's as the winner. Regards, Nick
Sorry, must have missed it. To many images loading, so I just scroll to the bottom. guess I didn't see it. I think it looks cool, but I just don't see how the logo would fit into that. I mean, it's to hard to feedback somethign so incomplete. It'd be a nice site design though, maybe not for my site, but for somebody elses. Regards, Nick
meh... it'll work I'll PM you with my my paypal... and send the homepage over via email. we can work something out for the rest of the pages too.
