Attached to this email are some images that may be helpful for the design of the template.

If you find other stock photos that are reasonably priced, I may be willing to purchase them.

Thanks.

Here is my concept. I wanted to create something original and with plenty textures. Let me know if you want to make changes to the design or if you want me to try something simpler.

Will,
Thanks for the submission. Looks good.

A few changes:
1) Remove the quick search and add an image of three of the doors you put in featured products stacked in a fan shape
2) Make the menu items navigation bar taller and slightly bigger font. They kind of get lost under the picture.
3) Let me see it without the doors to either side of the pictures.
4) Change tagline below logo to Manufacturer of Custom Thermofoil Doors

Thanks again.
Ruben

Hello
Idea from me. Waiting for your comments.

[rubendn]

Aliska,
Nice Design.

A couple of changes...

1) The two kitchen pictures look like they are one kitchen with different types of doors. Can you do something that will show the separation.

2) Change tag line to : "Manufacturer of Custom Thermofoil Doors" and move it somewhere else and replace it with three stacked doors in that area (in a fan shape if possible)

Thanks.

Ruben

[Aliska]

Sorry for not posting recently. We got hit with Hurricane Wilma on Monday and just got our power back.

If someone else is going to submit a version, please let me know, if not I will choose the winner in the next few days as we get things up and running.

Thanks.

Hi Ruben,

Can you please update us on the status of your project?
Thanks!

[rubendn]

Hi,
Sorry for the delay.

We have decided to pick Will's second submission (Message #5).

Thanks to all who participated.

Ruben

[SKR]

Congrats Will :tup: Well Done!

[will]

Ruben, thanx a lot for choosing my concept. Let me know if there is something else you want to change so I can prepare the final files of the project.

Sarah, I appreciate a lot your words :D Thanx.

[rubendn]

Hi Will,
Sorry for the delay in getting back.
Not sure if you work at all in Fireworks, but if you can give me the file in that format it would be great. If not, the psd file will be fine.

For the html file, is it possible to give me the page with the content area blank and able to expand to accomodate taller pages while keeping the nice beveled border.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Ruben

[will]

Hi, ruben since I create the design originally in photoimpact and then I build the psd file I have no problem on building a layered png. About the html pages, please don't worry, the idea was to have unlimited vertical space so that won't be a problem, you will be able to extend the size to anything you require.

I'll prepare the files and come back to you.

Take care,

[will]

Final files set through PM :D
