[REQ-TEMPLATE] Software Site - PAYING $150

[Xth Cannon]

Type of Contest : Template Contest

Prize : $150.00

Contest End Date & Time : 26 June (10 days from now)

Size Requirements : Template should fit on resolution: 1024*768 (Do not make the template these dimensions exactly - it is just the resolution the template should fit on).

Color Requirements : I want the website to look rather professional, and simple, I therefore want the colours to be easy and simple. I would heavily prefer "light" colours. Examples include white, silver, light blue etc. The colour scheme is extremely important - it should not clash. If I dislike the color scheme I shall say no straight away.

General Requirements :
The website must look clean, simple and professional. It is a software site - I am selling PHP scripts and software. The name of the website is "CollectPHP" and the slogan is "Cheap, Effective Webmaster Scripts". It would be great if you could possibly create a logo for the website - if the logo is good I may be persuaded in to choosing your design over others. The website must have a navigation menu, where some of the default links should be:

• About Us
• Support Forums
• Contact Us
• Software
• For Hire

The homepage should also have the space for four of our products. Within this space, there should be the product box, title, light description and price. The links to two current product boxes are below.

The website must be unique! Don't bother posting up templates that have either been used before or have been "copied" from other websites. You will be automatically disqualified from the contest if I find you doing this. Please also watermark your designs. The last thing I want is a website whos design has been stolen :P

Additional Information : No Additional Info.

Here is my concept - wasn't sure if you needed a logo. Let me know and I will work on that if you do.

collectphp

I like this concept. The design is different, unique, yet is so in a good way. However, I think some of the features of the design are a little too simplistic. I think the navigation bar needs to be a little more profesional. Perhaps you could use a style similar to this website (www.tutorials-db.com). Also, I think the testimonials and latest news boxes needs to be a little bit more complex. Again, perhaps something like that tutorials-db site (no legal issues will arise from using that site as "inspiration", as I am purchasing the site soon.

may I ask what your site url is?

if you like the site ill work on a logo

I can see where you are heading with this website, and it is quite good. Although, I don't really like the structure of the website. I don't feel as though the products towards the top of the design flow too well with the design, and they seem to stand out a little too much. I appreciate the design, although unfortunately it isn't my style.

This is what i got :

This is quite a nice design. I think the main CollectPHP text towards the top of the website doesn't really flow through with the the layout. I think it needs to be a little more simple. Maybe you should just try a light blue color perhaps? I think the navigation needs a bit of work though. I know I meant simplistic, but I think we need a little bit more then just text. I like the news and the spotlight box, you seem to have done it well. I think there are too many boxes down the bottom though. I like what you have done, and could you perhaps reduce the number from 4 to 3?

Thanks.
Looking forward to more entries

Thanks for the submission. I love what you have done with the design, simple, professional and unique. Could you perhaps change the grey background behind the main title text? "Welcome to CollectPHP" and "Products and Scripts"? The grey background is a little bit uneven. Perhaps you could remove it?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I cleaned up the navigation bar and gradients. Also added header bars to the Testimonials and Latest News boxes and added titles to the software boxes. As you didn't comment on the colors, I left them basically the same. I can however change them to a more grey color scheme if you wish. Let me know if this is closer to what you were looking for.

Really liking the look of this competition..

The style you require is right up my street! Sorry about the late entry, but I didn't see this competition until now! Here is my entry, using the colours you wanted, a custom logo and clean, modern style. It is fully customizable (If you want me to change some things up) but if you like it how it is, you can just fiddle about with the PSD yourself!

Thanks a lot for your time, and I'd like to thank you for holding this contest.

Regards, Alex.

 

[Xth Cannon]

That looks great Eminence. Do you think you could change the number of products displayed from four to three?

Contest ends today! All templates must be in by today.
