    @Buncoh:
    How can I compare if you put all of your variations in the same folder and give them the same name!!???!!!!???
    I think i preferred the previous "light blue" but i like the fact that you removed the site-wide top background.

    Give me variations!... i KNOW you can do it ! Helloooooooo .....
    (And how is that idea coming along ? lol )
    Take it seriously !... you have the top position but I don't know who else is coming with a new and improved design ;)

    @Khirthane: Need to work on your fonts ! Too simple and too "serious". Try more Web 2.0 style.

    Keep it up guys! I am waiting for the others. Later on today I will explain in detail, as promised, what i need for the inside stuff.

    Thanks guys !!

    Ok everyone, here it is , as promised, the components that need to be added.
    I will give you specific examples that I like and you can immitate - always adding your personal touch and (hopefully) giving me a couple of options to choose.

    Important comment: People ask me to be VERY specific. I am sorry, I do not have the imagination and talent to do so. That's why I need a designer, not only because i do not know Photoshop! ....
    I do the best i can to help and guide you.
    ------

    1) 2 eCovers: 1 for the product itself and 1 for the opt-in free guide. Call it "5 Steps to Wholesale in Australia"

    2) Two slightly varied optin "boxes" - one for the dropdown and the other for the fixed one. Put the fixed one on the top left corner like she has.
    ADD SPICE !! Make it "nice" !

    3) The main text will be in the form of a letter and will have the periodic elements of Bold, Read, Yellow-highlighted, bullet points, etc.
    The closest I can see is here: www.salehoo.com/secrets/ (just scroll down a bit to see the "letter" as this one doesn't start from the beginning).

    4) Another "letter" is here: www.optinprofits.com
    This page ALSO has a lot of nice text "elements" (bold, highlight etc.)
    4a) Get the testimonials from above as well. I like the "yeloowish" background. Should expand/contract wether there is a picture or not.

    5) "Add to Cart" area: I like the dotted line, checkbox, etc from both. I tend to prefer the optinprofits.com. Improvise!

    That should conclude 90% of the page apart from small details.

    Like i said in the beginning:
    Make sure its CSS/XHTML compliant!
    I would like for the CSS to be external file with some comments so I can go back and change something in the future: font size, color, etc.


    Let me know if you have questions and Good Luck!

    @Buncoh:You cannot assume that one version has everything better than the others!
    Maybe one has more elements but there may be others in a different version.
    Also, the simple fact that i can "flip" between tabs on my browser and compare, makes me
    more confident to say e.g. version 2 or 4.

    I like the latest by the way!

    Waiting for more goodies ! :)
    Huh... i mean A LOT of different versions of the new goodies !.....

    Thanks everyone!

    Good questions:
    No use a book,

    For the guide given for free, use a binder or a "thin" book like she has.
    I gave the description for the freebie.

    CORRECTION: I apologize but I think List is too limited, since i'll get the PSD I could change it but can you please change it to: Guide . Sorry about that.
    For the product itself like you have on the top : "BEST Australian Wholesalers Guide" (fancy BEST)

    thanks!

    @buncoh:
    Go back to version 3 !!! the new one is not so good.

    Examples: Its ok i really like the box for the main product.

    Regarding the freebie: work a bit more on the cover design, looks too plain! Borrow elements from the main product but keep them different!

    Make testimonial bg a bit yellowish and lighter but i guess it can be changed by the CSS right??

    I'll take off for a day, in the meantime i hope to see variations of the "fixed" and drop-down optin box.

    So far i like the work.

    Thanks

    Ok Guys I'm back! sorry for the small delay!
    I'll answer in general so everybody can benefit and then send individual comments if they only apply to a specific entry :

    There is no opt-in code to email!!?!?!?... its a form! The processing script behind it I will add later but this has nothing to do with design !...
    Regarding the optin form that drops down. Forget about the JS code to do that. Just add it on a side for now.
    (If you are interested this is the code: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/dropinbox.htm, but you are not paid to implement it so i will worry about it)

    Most of you have not send me any ecovers yet - no "add to cart" area, no testimonials....
    ALL of you continue to IGNORE my comments and send me only one variation at a time. I still don't understand why. I know enough about the tools to know that it takes 5-10 mins more to create a slightly different version (colors, fonts, etc.) and save it on a different directory.

    From now on anyone who disregards clear instructions and not follow them will be eliminated! Sorry - no hard feelings but we cannot continue in this spirit....

    -------------------------------
    @buncoh: Read above! I like your design the most so far. You still have version 4 on, with the australian dollar bills. Which part of "Go back to version 3" you don't understand exactly ??????


    @vashadesign: Not too bad but its missing something! Your fonts, the color combinations and the fact that I cant tell: does it take all the screen width (apart from the white text area). I have already commented about this! I want it as thin as the original.
    Your graphic shows only a few products.

    @ mantero: VERY nice work with lots of potential! Looks very professional! But you have the same "flu virus" like the others! lol .. you do NOT read carefully ! LOL
    Too much blue man!! even on the "As seen " label u have blue! I said MANY times the background to be light grayish and the whole page to be "thin" like the original aussie site i gave u.
    Add products!!!!!
    I dont like your fonts! You still say LIST and not Guide. No "Best" (... guide ).
    etc.
    Play with a few secondary colors while leaving the light blue as primary.
    The flag is nice, make it more visible, but what the hell are the stripes next to it?? remove them!
    READ !!!!!!

    @Kirthane: Lots of improvement but you have no imagination with the fonts! Do you like 80's music??? lol
    It looks too plain - cant really pinpoint it.

    I need a site and would be glad to pay good money. I see the talent and the potential in many of you.
    All it takes is a bit of seriousness!

    Thanks!

    If anyone wants to contact me on MSN, I am online after 6pm EST.
    Here is my address:

    @Khirthane: I cannot tell you which font to use because i dont know. I also dont like these vertical lines in the background.
    Can you tell me why is the page still full-width?
