$10 and 250NP$ for 3 small buttons contest

[lasvegascom]

Edit: Change made to the size of the 1st button. Button should now be 185x(anywhere between 100-125).

Also, I am moving the deadline out a few more days (will give an exact date later on) just so we can get some more submissions.

I need 3 simple buttons created for my company's website, www.indextree.com. I don't like the work the current designer has done. And from what I have seen I think the people on here can do a better job creating these buttons for us.

The prize is $10 (via paypal) and 250NP$ for ALL 3 buttons. However, you can submit an entry for just one button and if we choose it I will split the prize up ($5, $5 and 250NP$ per button).

The three buttons I am looking for are:

1. 185x(anywhere between 100-125) button promoting our SEO tools. The text should say, "ARE YOUR CLIENTS FINDING YOU? Measure Your Website Visibility With Our Performance Tools. Click Here."

2. 185x(anywhere between 65-80) button prompting users to call our 800 number or use our contact us form and will link to our contact us page. If you visit our site, you will see the current call to action in the left column says "Talk to an Indextree Online Marketing Expert. Call us now at 1.800.670.9950 or click here" this graphic will replace that. I know that because of the size of the graphic you will not be able to fit all that text, but maybe an abbreviated version that gets the same point across.

3. 185x(anywhere between 65-80) button prompting users to sign up for our newsletter which is called The Indextrialist. It will link to our newsletter sign up page. The text can say something simple like "Sign up for The Indextrialist Today. Click Here." But I will leave that up to you guys.

I was thinking that they should stand out on the page but at the same time be simple like the fastener in our logo. But do them anyway you think works best with images, background colors and so on as long as they fit in with the style of our site. It is very important that the buttons fit with the style and feeling of the website.


Don't forget to watermark your stuff. If possible would love to receive the psd files with the image files (jpg or gif).

Thanks and good luck,
Rich

This sounds like something I can have fun with. I'll have a design submitted soon.

Edit: Do you want any animated?

 

[lasvegascom]

That sounds greate DadaDesign. I would consider something animated as long as it isn't annoying.

 

[DadaDesign]

Sorry for the wait, this is for the first one. I'll try to have the others done later today.

300x80

Feedback appreciated.

Edit to size of button 1 and deadline has been extended indefinitely just so we can hopefully get some more submissions. See original post for details.

Here is my feedback for Dadadesign:
Sorry for the delay and thanks alot for the submission. Can you make it smaller based on our new size? Can you make the click here part stand out more? Not really sure that I like that all the text is different colors. The hand on the mouse does not do it for me at all. I do like the picture of the girl. Instead of the two lines on the right side, maybe use part of the fastener of our logo (that looks like an I).

jim: your submissions are too plain. nothing really stands out or calls out to me

bananamonkey: yours are missing something. i am not sure what it is though. i will think about it and get back to you. i do think you are heading in the right direction though.

 

[DadaDesign]

Okay, here's the revision.

bananamonkey: yours are missing something. i am not sure what it is though. i will think about it and get back to you. i do think you are heading in the right direction though.

Thanks and I agree but just couldn't figure it out myself. So when you do, let me know and I'll make the necessary changes.

 

[RS]

Heres mine.

BUTTON 1

BUTTON 2

 

[DadaDesign]

Some nice designs.

Can we get some feedback please. Thanks.

Here is my feedback for everyone.We are not huge fans of animated images. Please remove/change the lady with the headset from the contact us button. We do not want to appear as a call center. And you do not need to use the entire text. You can shorten it to make it look nicer. Some ideas but you can play with it too:
1. Talk to an Indextree Online Marketing Expert at 1.800.670.9950 or click here
2. Contact Indextree at 1.800.670.9950 or click here
3. Take the Lead. Contact Us Now at 1.800.670.9950 or click here

Jim - designs are too plain.

Bananamonkey - I just realized what is missing. It is color. They buttons are nice but are boring without some color to provide the emotional connection. please change the image of the lady to something else.

dadadesign - on the tool button please change the image of the lady to something else and i am not thrilled with the click here part. And the contact us button just doesn't do it for me at all.

rs- your buttons just don't fit with our site style or feeling at all.

 

[RS]

^Oh okay, thanks for the feed. I actually put it on the site and thought they look really good from other people but its your site so I'll change it.

Thanks.

 

[lasvegascom]

rs - the two things i dont like are the little images and the animation (just not a fan of animation at all). i think they are nice looking but dont feel they fit for our website.

 

[RS]

Okay thanks. So i will take away the little images and animation. No problem.

Is the color okay though?
