470.00 website design contest....

600.00 website design contest....

Hey,

I want to run a contest for a web design for my parents. Here is the deal.

They have been in the BBQ business for about 35 years. They just sold their restaurant and now they have nothing to do and they are retiring.

They want to make money selling their "idea" and experience to other people.

Basically, if someone wanted to start a business and get into BBQ many times they purchase an existing place for 100-150K and then they go through a long trial and error process that costs them allot of money.

What I want to do is create a website with images of my parents in the BBQ setting of their restaurants that they just sold and have pages of text explaining what it is that they are selling.

This is a semi-sales site. Not allot of flash in your face, just a sprinkle.

I want a good looking 10-20 page site, done in the cowboy, southern, BBQ theme and I want to work with someone who can deliver.

I dont want ANY template sites. It's gotta look better than that.

RULES:

1. I want entries to submit a MOCK homepage image to enter using the image of my parents attached. Call is Barbeque Concepts. I understand that it will be hard to run a detailed homepage and not really fair since I am only picking one winner, so just give me a concept.

2. The links will be:

Who we are
What were selling
Contact

3. Contest will run 14 days.

4. I will submit feedback to keep it going.

Winner will be paid in cold hard cash, or NP bucks.

Phil

I just saw this contest and I will enter...give me a couple of hours.

 

[Darshan]

how much are you paying

 

[Abu Gabby]

Here is my first go at it.

What I like about it: The header...I really like the way the logo/header came out. Looks shard IMHO.

What I don't like about: I didn't spend enough time on the content area. I will have another go at that part if you like the rest of the site....feedback is appreciated.

What I am proposing: I think it would be cute to do some cartoons of your folks to sprinkle around the site...I will do this within the budget you have. Maybe four or five cute caricatures.

Are you wanting a coded site or just a Photoshop file?

 

[Jesse-H]

I dont know, whatever is easier.

P

A coded site would be easier for you, seeing as you wouldnt have to code it. If you got just the layout, then you would still need someone to code it for you, unless you know how to do that. Im happy to do a site for you, but I would need to know you are going to use mine before I created it, seeing as I do alot of client work, and dont have time to make a layout that may not even be used.

then the namepros.com contest section isn't for you.

did the oakland raiders still finish their season even though they had 0 chances of making the playoffs? yes.

that's the point of a contest. do the work and try your hardest, if you get picked, great! if not, better luck next time.


well anyway, i'm going to try to enter this if i find some time. i've been hella busy these past few days =/

 

[Carlitos]

Well I may enter an uncoded design, if that's allowed.

 

[Jesse-H]

Wait, so you giving away REAL money, for a mock website which you probs wont even use? :S

 

[Abu Gabby]

Where is all the confusion coming from? The contest scope is clearly defined.

"I want entries to submit a MOCK homepage image to enter using the image of my parents attached. Call is Barbeque Concepts. I understand that it will be hard to run a detailed homepage and not really fair since I am only picking one winner, so just give me a concept."

Ok here is mine.

[o] The .PSD for the Bottom Images comes with it. The three Images are your links. If you decide you want alot more links, you can always change the right-side page.. I have coded it, iFramed etc. I have made it so the right-side actually views a bit about your parents experience.

[o] You can alter how the logos are obviously with the primary .PSD =]

[o] Also, the little scribble you see on the right is just like a sample of a signature if you haven't had guessed. I did it with a 1PX brush so you know, kinda hard to get decent Lol.

P.S This sounds like a really good project and I sincerely hop it does well. This is Niche, but Niche in the fact that it is most useful for your target audience.

 

[sheezes]

I got all confused, the winner gets 600$ or 600NP$?
and for now you want people to submit a mock up of the main page only and if they win, to completely design the site? or your company will do that?

 

[Suprastan]

I highly doubt he is paying 600NP$

 

[9Design]

Ty for the updates.
I will be off for a week so I hope this contest lasts for a bit!
Peace!
