    Thanks for being the first to begin this contest.
    The Logo should be the bottom right example meaning" no headlights and white around the nose.
    I like your 25 years ribbon idea.
    The light blue font does not have enough contrast. the background for the font would need to be darker or the font white.
    I also like the idea of showing pictures of the bulleted items rather than listing them. Maybe smaller pictures and put them in the header. I can't decide if they should be captioned or not.
    Great First effort for this contest!
    Thanks
    Leland

    The logo the client wants is the one with no headlights and white around the nose of the car.
    Thanks

    This looks pretty good. My client will not be needing drop down menus but thanks for thinking of that.
    You used the wrong logo. Please resubmit using the bottom right logo example. This means the one without head lights and the white around the nose of the car.
    The Icon you used for vinyl/convertible tops does not make any sense. That has nothing to do with music. Many cars have a fabric like top including those that are convertibles. You might try a icon of a convertible top car?
    I need to see these changes before submitting your entry to my client.
    Thanks
    Leland

    Nice clean design, I suggest you to put a watermark or Resize the preview design
    I believe the CH not bothered about it.
    I don't say the CH but somebody may steal your design.

    Over all very nice.
    A Pittsburgh skyline would be nice as his company is located very near Pittsburgh.
    Your header pictures are all of auto exteriors when he specialize in interiors and soft roof tops especially soft convertible tops.
    I love the look of your 25. Take out the "th" as that is poor english. Also take out the work "auto". "In Business" is better.
    The side bars are too dark.
    Thanks
    Leland

    Homeblogger has worked for me a lot and knows that I will pay for what i need. It is still a good idea to watermark or resize.
    Thanks

    I will submit this to my client.
    He is likely to not want the login stuff at the top right.
    Maybe some pictures or icons that represent the bullet items over the menu bar instead.
    Thanks

    Very nice updates. Please include the logo over the skyline instead of a repeat of the logo over the car.
    Please put smaller versions of the three pictures under the header into the header. I don't know if their picture titles will fit in the header also.
    Please use the logo without the headlights (it is the bottom right logo example)
    Thanks
    Leland

    Thanks for your entry.
    The water picture is up side down. Please include the company slogan in or over the picture.
    Please include smaller versions of the pictures from the content area in the header. I don't know if the titles for each will fit in the header.
    Please include a menu bar. The bulleted items cannot be the menu bar, you may use lorem ipsume for each item in the bar.
    Thanks
    Leland
