Hello Professional,

I want a NEW website design.
The website is for selling my software (shareware), but all softwares are still developing. The first software is a DVD movie copying software, just like DVDXcopy. In brief, users can clone a DVD video to a blank DVD-R by using their DVD burner drive. If you don't understand, you can check this link which got lots of similiar softwares:
http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0....opy&tg=dl-2001

As I will continue to add more softwares related to DVD, VCD, and multimedia to this website in the future, I want the main (/home) page design can allow me to show more softwares later.
Also as I will write the content by myself, you don't need to author the text content (but you need to include some text to let me get the general feeling). Please make sure the template can be inserted text content easily later.

Budget: US$350
Deadline: 24 June
Deliverable: 1 main page and 1 subpage template (including HTML and all image sources, e.g. psd, ai, etc).
Compatibility: IE and Firefox, 800 pixels width
Domain Name: www.HomeDVDCopy.com (not exist yet)
Company Name: HomeDVDCopy.com
Name of 1st Software: Easy DVD Clone
My HTML editor: Dreamweaver MX 2004
My image editor: Fireworks MX 2004 (preferred), Photoshop 7
Design: It should give the users a simple, high-tech, and enjoyment feeling. My suggesion is you can show "a family they are sitting on the sofa and watching on the TV happily" header image on the website.
Horizontal menu bar: Home, Features, Pricing, Order, Download, Support (with highlight effect)
Privacy Policy (shown at the bottom)

Note: Please check the attached Logo design of my company.

Look forward to your designs...

Thanks!

Raymond

Hello
I will join with my idea in several days

Deadline extended...

Aliska · #4 06-10-2005, 04:03 AM

Hello
Here's my first idea. And will upload another later today

Aliska · #5 06-10-2005, 10:30 AM

And my second idea. Waiting for your comments.

Here's my entry

Aliska,

I like your first design more.
But the color looks little bit old for me, also the family picture is not happy enough, you can change another picture, the company logo can be larger. "Welcome" and "About Us" messages are not necessary.

raymng · #8 06-10-2005, 08:44 PM

Mark,

The family picture is good! I like it.

But the picture seems too "tall", can you tell me the resolution of the header picture only?
Also I want a "TV" will be shown in the picture, now I only see the antenna..
And can you show me the highlight effect of the menu bar?

Thanks.

Mark · #9 06-11-2005, 04:32 AM

I shortened the height of the image to show just the two children and the tv. The new size is now 768 x 208 at 72 dpi which equals 34k. The previous size was 768 x 249.

You can view the button mouse over HERE

raymng · #10 06-11-2005, 06:13 AM

Mark,

I want to see the whole family and also the TV in not higher than 210 height, do you think you can modify the original picture ?

When the browser window have higher resolution, I want the page will be aligned in center. Can you show me what will it look like in your design?

In the bottom right hand corner, it should be "Privacy Policy".

raymng · #11 06-11-2005, 06:14 AM

Any other designer is working on this project?
Please say hi...

Mark · #12 06-11-2005, 07:54 AM

Ok. I manipulated photo to be 210 high showing the whole family (not an easy task).

Anyway, you can view it HERE with page centered and blue background.

Anne · #13 06-12-2005, 02:36 AM

I am working on a design

Anne · #14 06-12-2005, 05:22 AM

Here.

Looking forward to your feedback
Anne

Mark:
The old boy looks strange, his hand seems placed above the young girl.
The young boy looks too "white" compared to previous version.

Anne:
For the header picture, I want a family who are watching the TV.

Thanks!!

Mark · #17 06-12-2005, 12:21 PM

..or this one

Anne · #18 06-12-2005, 03:04 PM

I haven't been able to find one with a familiy so this is the closest, and I don't want to use the same image Mark has used.

I'll join if I find the right pic.

Can't find one

cosmic · #23 06-13-2005, 07:06 AM

I'm like Luc and can't find a suitable pic. If I find one I will enter. The only pic I have found is the one used by Mark.

Yeah, but seems he doesn't like it and prefer a happy family watching tv.

raymng · #25 06-13-2005, 08:21 AM

All Designers:

Okay, if Mark's picture is not copyrighted, I think you all are finding that picture from the same source, so I think everyone can use the same picture to design their webpages. It is fair.

Anyway I will choose the best one based on other factors.

Anyone want to join?? please say HI...

Thanks!

The designers are not permitted to copy elements from other entries. It was Mark's choice to use that photo so the other designers are not permitted to use it or they will be reprimanded.

This part of the help section touches on this issue...

Thank you for understanding

Hello Raymond,

Here is my entry, let me know what you think, thanks.

raymng · #28 06-14-2005, 06:28 AM

Mark,

Message#16 is better, the "Buy Now" button on the right hand side should use "Order Now" as well, also I want to add a "Download Now" and "More Info" link for the main product and future product, you can use button or any other things for these links...
Copyright info lack at the bottom...

When I want to show more products in the future, is it easy to add? What will it look like?

raymng · #29 06-14-2005, 06:31 AM

Fabian:

The user's comment is good, but the design doen't provide enought space to show the product info. Also, the picture is not what I am looking for..

raymng · #30 06-14-2005, 06:34 AM

Luc and cosmic:

If you want to join, you have to find other pictures... Thanks for your interest anyway.
