$50 Webmaster Site Design Contest

[EGS]

Hello! :hi:

I am featuring a $50 site design contest for a webmaster site that I plan on releasing using a wicked nice design created by the winner of this contest. Before I explain stating how I want it to look, I'd like you to review my terms and conditions before reading on.

Terms and Conditions:

1. The design entry that you submit must be your work and unique and exclusive work.
2. If you are chosen as the contest winner, I receive FULL rights to the design - unique and exclusive rights - and you can NEVER sell or display it again.
3. The design must incorporate/include my unique custom logo for my website, located here: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/1531/webmasterednet65wh.png
4. The logo I just linked to is copyrighted to me...YOU MAY NOT USE IT OR DISTRIBUTE IT for any purpose besides this contest.

Alright, now that you have read my terms and conditions, it's time to get started with the details.

I want the design's color scheme to reflect the colors of my logo. I greatly like having both a verticle and horizontal navigation menu, and I am particularly fond of hover effects being included into the design over the navigation menu(s).

This design is going to be for a webmaster resource website, so the site will be featuring news, articles, and recent forum posts. I am looking for something really attractive and professional following my logo's color scheme. I hate small fonts for content so please do not put size 8pt or 9pt fonts into the design at all unless it's like copyright text.

I'm going to try to show you examples of sites that I like - I do not want duplicates of the sites I show you or anything close. Usually I just show sites to show different colors and effects that you can incorporate into the design. I like MyBBoard.com and Webmaster-Talk.com's colors for example. I'm not really good at explaining things so just try your best.

If you have any questions, just ask. Good luck!

Optional Cash To The Contest WINNER:

• I will pay $25 extra to the contest winner if they decide to create me a forum skin that will match the design he/she created.
• I will pay $25 extra to the contest winner to slice and code the design into valid XHTML 1.0.

Here's my try.

 

[EGS]

Okay I am looking for something that is 100% width that I can put content into. This design is for a webmaster article, service, and product website. Ideally I'd like something similar to SitePoint but not at the same time. I like how they have top navigation which they make work with their forum skin.

Questions? Let me know.

Oh and by the way, I've decided that you could use either one of the attached logos - whichever one you feel will fit and look best.

You really have too many expectations for $50, don't expect too much from people, and please stop being so choosy and 'unique' about everything.

You really have too many expectations for $50, don't expect too much from people, and please stop being so choosy and 'unique' about everything.

First off if you were the host of this contest you would be just as "choosy" its his contest not yours so he can be as "choosy" as he likes.

He wants the best deal for his dollar just like the majority of us.

Well Started working on an entry just wanting to show you what I currently have here. Pretty sure this is more of what you are looking for, I am going to continue on this anyways.

 

[bquast]

Well added onto it some more, not going to be continuing much farther without some feedback, look forward to some feedback.

It loads on the page for me fine on several pages? Try reloading the page or viewing it on another computer.
