I have a very well established site with excellent traffic and top of my niche. Over the years we have added to the site and now need an experienced designer to come in and give it the complete makeover which it deserves. The competition I am running is for 4 pages - the 4 pages are to show your skills off and show that you have the eye for the job. In reality the job will be much bigger and will require you to work alongside us on the entire website What I need from you: * 4 complete pages to show us your skills. * A portfolio of previous website designs. * A CV of your previous work history (no newbies please apply unless you can show fantastic flair) * Your commitment to working alongside us personally to complete the project. The website is www.the-franchise-shop.com The 4 pages are: * 1. A homepage redesign for: www.the-franchise-shop.com * 2. A blog page redesign for: www.the-franchise-shop.com/netfrog/ * 3. A client page advert redesign for: (example client page) http://www.the-franchise-shop.com/list/321/WPA-Western-Provident-Association.html * 4. A category page redesign for: http://www.the-franchise-shop.com/categories/AccountancyFinancial_127.html Also required is an understanding of how visitors view websites, easy navigation to our important category pages with a view to increasing conversion rates. The category pages should be linked across the top of the home pages as should the search options, on other pages where the content needs to be higher, for example the client advert pages, the categories should drop to the left. Please take the time to explore our website and understand the theme. The theme is a business website which sells franchises in the UK. Our clients are all multi million pound companies. An example client would be McDonalds Fast Food. We need a fresh modern design with a business theme but not boring, we want some flair in there also. A new logo is not a must but ideas are welcome. The winner will gain $150 up front now and the remainder for a complete site will be negotiable. We are not scrooges and want the best looking franchise website and will pay handsomely for the completed project. An idea would be to look at other websites and see how you can improve. Examples being www.franchisesales.co.uk and www.franchisedirect.co.uk and www.franchiseexpo.co.uk. Please no copies though. The competition will end when we have decided on a winner.
Additional note: Please take your time over this but reply if you are working on something so I know progress is being made. An eye for detail is what I am looking for so there is no point rushing designs over to me. The winner will be the person who has taken the time to understand the theme and create something of beauty, ease of use and functionality.
This is my first competition post - I am not sure how long I should wait for a reply or if I have gone about it correctly so if anyone has any advice please feel free to comment and let me know.
