STILL ACCEPTING ANY NEW ENTRIES

Hi, I have a client I am building a website for. I just had the logo created here and the client is very pleased. We now need a webdesign based on the new logo. I will need homepage plus one interior page. Need html coded files and psd. The url is http://www.centraltexasbus.com
Project deadline is Dec. 29. Logo Attached. Let me know if you need anything else. Right now the site is going to be pretty small. Please design in a manner where new navigation items can be added in the future.
Thanks!

Hello,

I would like to start working on this :)

A couple things:

* Do you have any photo's that are to be used in the design?
* Also, do you have the Illustrator file for the logo?

Thanks!
Heather

[trilakes]

Anbody else interested in working on this? I was hoping for a little more interest in this project.

Hello!

I'm working on your project.
I'm just having a hard time finding the appropriate images of a bus.

But I'm doing all my best and you will see my version soon...

Thanks,
Elena

Attached are a few photos from client that may be used in the design:

[Elena]

Thank you for excellent photos! It will help a lot!

Thanks,
Elena

[trilakes]

Looks like I might have to extend the due date on this since I have only gotten one entry and only one other person interested. Would any of you others submit an entry if you had more time?

[trilakes]

Due to the lack of entries I have extended the due date. I really hope that some of you others will post an entry.

STILL ACCEPTING NEW ENTRIES

Erika

Yes, I am still excepting entries. Currently I have 3 entires and would like to get about 5 to show the client.
Thanks

[trilakes]

Different header image:

heathersmith, Comments from Client:
Like comfort and safety idea. Good clean front page look. Could use a little more marketing idea stimulation on first page. Like graphic header.

[trilakes]

Hello
Idea from me.

Aliska, comments from client:
We like the graphic and the organized uncluttered look. We like the side menu instead of horizontal across the top. We like the services list on the home page. Would like contact info on first page. Would like to add city, state and country idea.

[trilakes]

And the same with small modification.

Elena, comments from client:
We like the energy and variety on this page. The overall effect to us is a little busy and crowded. The graphics are a little weak. The first one looks very artificial. The man in the hat doesn't convey what we're looking for. Didn't feel the need for testimonial on first page.

[trilakes]

I FINALLY got feedback from the client, sorry for the delay. I have posted comments on all entries posted so far.

Thanks for your patience.

[Aliska]

Hello trilakes

Please, check revisions. Let me know if you have any comments.

Hello!

[Elena]

And one more variation. :P

[trilakes]

And one more variation. :P

Elena,

Thanks for the entries.

I have sent all revisions to the client and will let everyone know when I hear something.

[trilakes]

The client has chosen the design by heathersmith. Admin please move project to revisions forum. I will post final revisions once this is moved.

I would like to thank all of the designers who posted an entry for this contest. You all had great entries which made it hard for the client to make a decision. Thanks for everyone's patience on this one.

[heathersmith]
