Following the successful design of the "Duff Recruitment" logo I'm after a website template for the same company. See the previous competition here: http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7271
Probably worth having a read of my comments to get a further idea of what the client wants.

The website is going to be quite small holding some brief information about the company, a listing of their current job orders and a place for candidates to submit their resumes.

To give an example of the sort of style the client is after visit
http://www.ipa.com.au/

And here is a brief mock up of it I did: http://www.boeschcomputing.com.au/duff/index.html
(See why I have to pay you guys right? :)

Now we don't need a flash header, where just after a simple header (image) which includes the duff recruitment logo. The client prefers the header not to include photos of people/handshakes but prefers other ideas.

I also need the design cut into HTML and a style sheet for the text elements created.
I however don't have any problems with it using HTML tables (to avoid needing a XHTML/CSS valid design).

Also if the design could fit into a 800 x 600 size that would be great.

You will find the logo, in various formats here: http://www.boeschcomputing.com.au/duff/dufffinal.zip

Hi Guys,
thanks for the great submissions so far.
I have some feed back from the client in regard to the current designs.
Overall she is impressed with the work and likes points about all of them.

Anne:
She likes the design, but doesn't want a person in the header. The colour of the image works well, but she apparantly doesn't go for the "people images" cliche that half the websites in this business have.

Aliska:
Design 1: She doesn't like the candidate login over the header section, looks out of place to her. I don't mind it myself personally.. but she's the client :)
Design 2: Overall it's a very nice design but she doesn't like the rounded login boxes/buttons. Their color/general looks is fine, just the rounded edges don't go, she prefers everything to be square.

Lilja:
She likes the design but would prefer the logo/header to still be at the top of the screen with the menu below the logo/header. Not sure how it would look with the candidate login above the menu with the logo, could look good still?

Thanks all for your hard work

[hamish]

first, thanks to everyone for submitting entries. It didn't make my clients decision easy, so thanks for the hard work all.

She's chosen prelude785, design number 1 (building image vs dice), congrats Prelude785.

Could I just remind you of this part of the competition as well


I also need the design cut into HTML and a style sheet for the text elements created.
I however don't have any problems with it using HTML tables (to avoid needing a XHTML/CSS valid design).
