Mobilephone site

[newyorker]

Hi there!

Here i am again

I have completed my brainstormsession and am ready for a new project.
We`ll call it mobilepunk.com

Here`s the lowdown:
(look at this templates to get an idea of what i have in mind: Example 1
Example 2)

Main page:

- MobilePhone related header - Fun is the most important asset for the webdseign and most important of course the header. Needs to have a Home button. (Remember the stylish Ipod commercials?)

Links to all paid sections of the site. e.g.:
- Monophonic
- Polyphonic tones
- Logo packs
- Animated logo`s
- Wallpapers
- Screensavers
- Javagames
- Videos
- MP3tones
Links must be images! So people click on a corresponding image and are taken to that specific webpage.

Other links that need to be on the frontpage:
- Sms/Text (free service, already running feel free to test)
- Forum

The rest of the site has to have the same look as the frontpage of course.
Implementation of content is not very difficult as i work with Mediaplazza and their content is very easy to work with.

Every subject mentoined above will get their own page.

Search Engine Optimization. Search Engine Optimization. Search Engine Optimization.

What is very important is the integration of Adsense. This will be one of the biggest issues to sort out.
Also keep in mind that i want reserved space for advertisers.

Other things:

In the future i will expand the site and will add articles. It has to be easy to add links to content on the site:
Read about:
- ringtones
- wap
- gprs
- umts
- wifi
- MP3
- mobile phone history
Maybe it is possible to reserve space for this?

In a nutshell:

- Targeted audience: young people. 15 to 25 years old.
- Site`s look and feel: fun, fresh, not too busy.
- Links as images (Maybe forum and free text in header?)
- Reserve space for advertisers
- Adsense integration
- SEO
- Reserve space or preparation for future expansion
- Redesign the free text/sms to match the site`s look and feel.

Must be coded!

Think that`s about it

If you need more information about the content integration PM me for details.
Offer $250. Open for 72 hours or longer if i want.

On a sidenote: i am still considering buying a template.

Getting alot of questions about using FLASH. I do NOT want any flash on the site that is too much. So no crazy blinking soundmaking buttons etc. Thank you.

Hello, i'd like to know if you have any colors in mind.

I've made a logo that i will incorporate in my design.

Here's an idea of a design. I haven't finished it yet.
Feedback appreciated.

Here is it

Hi Josephine.

I like the layout. Almost like i wanted it to be. But i want more "roundings". It is all too straight. The colors are not what i am looking for. It has to be more vibrant than this.

It`s kind of dull right now. The logo is not what i am looking for either. It has to have more color, more "fun". Look at the templates i linked to. Remember the target group.

Also a very important thing is the link to the free sms page. That is nowhere on the page and it is one of the most important parts of the entire website. It will draw people to the site and that is the idea!

Really like the way that you reserved space for a banner, nice postion. Maybe you can think of a better way to integrate Adsense. You know that technique when you place an ad under or next to an image? That`s what i want.

Maybe it is an idea to create more of that "wallpaper" buttons, or other sort of buttons (like 6 or so) and put Adsense next to or under it instead of other links?

So overall:

Like the layout.
Like the banner placement.
Like the navigantionbar.
Like the rather clean look (may be a little more "busier")

Dislike the header.
Dislike the colors.
Dislike the "straight" buttons and bars.
Dislike the Adsense integration.
No mentioning of the free sms, very important.

Hope this helps

I'll see what changes i can do.
