I don't think our main page gets the message across quick enough. I'd just have the original graphic artist make the changes but they haven't been on digital point in many months and I haven't been able to get ahold of them. Site : www. gra bbo deals . com remove the spaces I don't want the navigational elements changed, just the body. (the background image and the footer are fair game, but not required.) The MESSAGE : Local Business -> Best Deal. [small]Local vendors list their best deal, bargain or special. Each business can have a seasonal "Grabbo" deal that changes infrequently and a FLASH deal - awesome short term bargains that come and go in a flash.[/small] AND Keep Informed [small]Register and subscribe to the vendors and categories that interest you. Be informed of new bargains - but only in the categories or from the vendors that you subscribe to.[/small] I want those two messages to stand out, so users quickly understand the core mission of the site. I would also like "MERCHANTS SIGN UP HERE" somewhere noticeable - but not with equal billing to the shopper message. I'd like to keep the slider, but smaller and it will contain news items instead. Need space for a video site walk-through. Sometimes there will also be a new vendor video we want to feature here, so maybe a way to toggle between available videos? does youtube have a playlist feature for this? If not I can do something with jquery. There is also a daily gift certificate giveaway. Users are entered each day they visit the site. New Vendors, will just be the logos going across in a marquis. We don't need new deals and hot deals, one or the other and it can be horizontal instead of vertical like I have it now. CHECKLIST ------------- 1. Local Business -> Best Deal AND Keep Informed 2. merchants sign up here 3. smaller slider with news items (contests, new vendor commercials, local events etc) 4. video walk through 5. daily giveaway - just want to remind them about it, they can click on that for more info 6. new vendors marquis 7. one deals stream doesn't have to be horizontal I think that just about covers it. I would like to wrap up this contest within 48 hours. Thanks
Some more info based on current entries. I should mention the merchants registration should be visible, but isnt relevant to most of our users so it doesnt need to be front and center, just easy to find. Local Business -> Best Deal can have a cta to search nearby deals Keep Informed can have a cta to register the ctas if it looks clean, but its not super necessary because alot of site actions automatically cta registration
waiting for just one more entry then ill close this contest otherwise let me know if you are still working on something
Havent heard back from the one I was waiting for. Meeting with partner. Will be back in a few hours and report the winner. Thanks to everyone who sent submissions.
