    I forgot to add file formats:
    Logo: vector file
    Landing page: must be in whatever common file format will be used by the website design team to implement

    Also, the logo should be a big G and a big B = GiveBooks.org

    Hello

    It will be nice to have some content to focus on. As you can see on text|books the main attraction of the home page is those 2 banners...

    I need the entire home page.

    Part of the reason I like the textbooks dot com design is that it provides the simple call to action at the top, and then the bottom functions well (textually) for seo.

    here is something I whipped up, any thing can be changed, the text is just a placeholder, and can be changed to anything you need.
    http://s775.photobucket.com/albums/yy31/Oechalia/contests/Givebooks1.png
    The blue gradient background and the black rectangle on the bottom would extend across the page, and the rest would be centered, just like in the example site textbooks.com
    Thank you :)

    Hey guys and gals. I just wanted to give an update. What we are looking for here is a #1 a great landing page, and #2 a nice logo.

    The reason why we put them both in the same request for bids was because of our desire to have them work well together. I think the perfect landing page would be similar to textbooks dot com. We need an exceptionally clean, professional looking, color coordinated design.

    As for the logo, I think the heart and hands is a good concept, although it would need to be 80 percent text and 20 percent clean and simple logo.


    To add to this for anyone who just designs logo's, go ahead and post any logo design you can come up with and we'll pay $20 for the logo all by itself. We'll still pay the full $75 for the perfect landing page with or without logo.

    I can help you, but i need some content to work with...

    Some text like in textbooks doc com:

    Anything in words that you like to put: special offers, some type of book, menu, categories, etc... Donno, something to have a base...

    I can use text/offers from the competitors website?

    Please just use the text from textbooks dot com . We all have the same general message to get across.
