Logo and Design Contest Script, 99designs.com Clone!

[xdimension]

Dear NamePros Members,

We are excited to announce the pre-launch of DesignContestScript, a PHP script to create a logo and design contest website. You must have known 99designs.com, a successful design contest website where designers can meet clients who need logos, webdesign, or any other designs created. This script allows you to create a website similar to 99designs and with some twists, like you have the option to charge the contest fee before the contest launched (in this case you charge the contest holder) or after the the contest ended (take commission from prize payment). Also, contest holder can offer multiple prizes to attract more designers to join the contest, this should make the contest more interesting.

You can see the screenshots of the script at http://www.designcontestscript.com. Because we're still in pre-launch, if you're interested in seeing the script demo please PM me.

The other good news is (well we think our script is already a good news ), we're so excited in launching this script and we're offering discount for the script price, for $199 you can get this great script! This discount is valid only for this pre-launch period.

Okay, thanks for reading this post, we hope you're interested in buying the script, just PM me if you want to make an order. If you have anything you'd like to ask, don't hesitate to ask here or PM me or send email to support[at]designcontestscript.com.

Some things you might ask:

• Is the script encrypted? No, the source is 100% open.
• Is the script using template engine? Yes, it's using Smarty.
• What payment method do we accept? We accept Paypal.

Hi.

Has anyone purchased this script and could share his experience?

@xdimension:

is this script still supported?
is the $199 offer posted in various forums still valid?
are you selling the script or are you just selling a license to you use it on one domain only?
can you make any special offer?

who is behind that script? who programmed it, and which company or person is selling it (should mean who are you)?
if we buy it would you send us proof of ownership so that we could proof other parties in the future if needed where we get the script from (in case that someone would send us a copyright complain)?

are there any clients running this site succesfully, without any bugs, and could you send us links?

what would you charge to install it on our hosting server - or could you include the installation as a free service - and what hosting you could recommend which does support your minimum requirements?

can designers withdraw there designs?

are there any known bugs which are not fixed yet?

what means "the source" in:
"Is the script encrypted? No, the source is 100% open."
and what do you mean with "open".
- is the complete script fully customizable by our programmers?
- at a later time we might be interested to add additional languages to the whole site, to add a "helpful" voting feature on given comments, to add a preview function within the comments section, to add recent winning designs to the homepage, to add that designers have to credit stock imagery sources within the submission form, etc. etc.
Can we do all that?

what means that the license is for one domain only. if we would change the domain name of the website or if we would have to install it on a different hosting server would we be able to do that or will just one installation work?

Looking forward to hear from you,
Thanks in advance.

This is not the place to be asking about alternative scripts. This would be marketing other scripts in someone else's thread.

Sorry for that.
I have deleted that specific part.

I've been trying to contact the seller of this script via its website but no chance so far...
xdimension or whoever own that script, could please send me a PM if you read that post?

Thanks!

Ok I did get an answer via their ticket system.
The script looks good.

Hello All,

Firstly, thanks for all your interest in our script.

We apologize if we are not monitoring this thread closely (it's a long time since we created this thread anyway), but you can always contact us on our ticket support system on our website. We're still supporting the script there, anyway it may take some time to answer some questions, depends on what the question is and if it comes on non-business days.

I noticed some of the posts above are also asked via our ticket system and I think we have answered all of them, including Tioneb's ticket (I know you since you have PMed me as well with the same name via our ticket).

Anyway, to avoid further confusion, I'll ask moderator to close this thread, if you have any questions regarding the script please submit your questions via our ticket system.

Thank you.
