Template for Closeout Madness

[Matt Ward]

(Admin code added by Palmer - 7546701)

OK crew...need your help with this one.

We did the logo contest <logo psd attached>...now we need a template, but not like you think.

We use oscommerce, and they have a program where I plug in the strings and the php code populates the page. So I need a basic template to plug the strings into.

Template should be PSD on delivery, and include all buttons requested.
For now, you only need to create 3 buttons to indicate to me what they will look like. Those buttons are:
Add to Cart
Checkout
Continue

Template must have the following sections (you determine the layout)
1) A place for the logo
2) A section for the products
3) A section for a breadcrumb
(Breadcrumbs look like this Home-->New-->Page-->Thispage)
4) A section for information
5) Search section
6) Catagory section
7) Manufacturer
8) What's New


Simply put I would like you to take the existing site template (www.editedout.com) and create your own layout with a color scheme.
Please don't hesitate to reorganize the boxes, that actually is what I am looking for here.


This deadline is rather important to me, I wish to close this on Tuesday at 6pm.

What does "for now" entail?

I noted that after a quick glance over the contest description.

Thanks

I believe he means that for the purposes of the contest, you dont' need to do all fo the buttons, just the three he mentioned, but when you deliver the final template, it will need the other buttons included.

I'll be posting a template either later today or tmorrow morning.

[Matt Ward]

Kelli, you are correct.

A few Large buttons are needed (specified) and a few small ones, If the winner made 2 or 3 small ones, then I could do the rest in the PSD.

I am just looking for some formatting, organization, and color coordination.

[JeremeDavid]

Here is my entry. I actually made the layout in HTML since that is easier for me. If you require the PSD, I can lay it out that way if I win.

[JeremeDavid]

Since I made the layout in HTML, it was fitting to my screen resolution. It woluld fit fine at 750 pixels.

[Matt Ward]

did some of it wordwrap?

Could you post a link if possible to a place where the design is just the page?
I looks as though you are right on track for this.
Matt

[JeremeDavid]

Yes. It wraps fine. Here is the page: http://www.photoshoptutorials.org/samples/...loseoutMadness/ (http://www.photoshoptutorials.org/samples/closeoutMadness/) I fixed the width at 750 pixels.

great job nat :tup:

[Matt Ward]

Jereme,
Could you find another location for the search box? Perhaps above the logo? Or perhaps above the your cart area.


Marengo..
Could you please add a new products box?


These are some great formats, I like them.

I´ll be posting in 40 min. :D

[Matt Ward]

I wish to extend this....possibly till midnight.

If anyone else wishes in, please state your intent and approximate time. I do intend on making a decision tonight. That is if I don't fall asleep at the pc again like last night.

[hheine]

That is if I don't fall asleep at the pc again like last night.

:o :lol:

[Trifolic]

Here's my entry, let me know if you want any changes before making your decision

thanks

[Matt Ward]

Thank you for your submission, if chosen, would you be able to modify the boxes to be more closing like the current site? Meaning the titles not the design.

[Trifolic]

Yep, anything and everything can be changed to meet your needs! :) Just let me know

Thanks

[hheine]

[Matt Ward]

WOW, all of you have stepped it up, nice job.

Reviewing now, will post the outcome shortly .

[Matt Ward]

after about an hour of debate, discussion and some true thought.... we have decided to go with......



Henrique Heine <the final submission>

All of you had some really great attributes to your templates and really scored some points on incorporating our logo into the template.

Thanks for taking the time to help our business grow. Once again, this place proves to be the best place to get what we as business owners need to convey our thoughts onto paper and the web.

Palmer, you've heard this before.... "time to pay the donuts" :)

Henrique - Could you please add a reviews tag on the right side, as well as a tell a friend tag or section, please pick a color that matches as you have done with the other tags.

[hheine]

Thanks Mattman ! :D

Wish you a lot of success with your bussiness !

I´m quite finishing. I´ll PM you.

Thanks everyone.

[Trifolic]

Congrats hheine!! Good job

[hheine]

Thanks, Jason ! :D
