http://www.crowdspring.com Website design projects on the crowdSPRING site. en-US Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:24:53 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/diet_and_fitness_coaching_service_needs_four_web_pages LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: The Health & Fitness Team is a new health and fitness company that plans to launch two coaching services to help people stay on track with their diet and fitness plans. DietMinder and FitnessMinder are aimed at people who want to lose weight or keep fit, but need help staying motivated. Our value proposition is about helping customers to reach their diet and fitness goals more quickly than they could without outside help and supporting their efforts to maintain what they have achieved. The tag line for DietMinder is ‘Keeping you on track for diet success’ and for FitnessMinder it's ‘Keeping you on track for optimum fitness’. We have a broad target audience and the web site therefore needs to have broad appeal whilst reflecting our core values: trusted, innovative, committed, open and dynamic. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a design for four web pages: the home page and three internal pages. In addition to the home page (Home) we need pages that will be used to promote subscriptions for the diet service (DietMinder), to host some of the content promoted in our newsletter (Weight Loss) and to describe the company (About Us). The descriptions in brackets relate to the tabs across the top of the page in the web site structure. To get an overview of how these four pages fit into the overall structure, take a look at the attached blueprint. We will use our web site to communicate our value proposition, generate leads and provide health and fitness information. We will also use the site to sign up visitors to our newsletter. The home page is very important as it will draw people into the site and therefore has to be engaging and dynamic. Above all, it needs to get people to take action, i.e. subscribe to our newsletter or sign up for a trial, the all important sales bit! OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The web site is primarily aimed at affluent 25-55 year old male and female members of private health clubs, who want to lose weight and/or improve their fitness. We are talking about professionals and skilled workers who take pride in their appearance and make an effort to live a healthy lifestyle. Whether motivated by image or health, they need help staying on track to meet their goals. They have either lost their motivation or are not getting the results they want. They don’t necessarily want to spend money on a personal trainer or private nutritionist and like the discrete nature of receiving ongoing telephone-based support combined with convenient, on-demand access to trained instructors when they need it. The secondary audience is made up of business customers that have an interest in the health and fitness of its staff, members or patients. Typical customers include employers, healthcare professionals, and private medical insurers, etc. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Take a look at these web sites to get an idea of the type of layout, use of colour, imagery and use of white space that we like: www.lafitness.co.uk www.vimeo.com www.apple.com www.carsonified.co.uk www.heals.co.uk www.virgin.co.uk WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We expect the site to reflect our corporate identity (see attached stationery) and have a clean, uncluttered look and feel throughout. We have outlined the specific requirements for individual pages below. ('Contact Us' is not listed as it has no specific requirements, but we still need a design for this page): HOME: 3 pieces of content (teaser) Call to action to sign-up for newsletter Call to action to sign-up for DietMinder trial offer (free pedometer) WEIGHT LOSS: 3 pieces of content (full-length version) DIETMINDER: Service logo Images should focus on consumer transformation and results Call to action to sign-up for DietMinder trial offer (free pedometer) JOIN: Web form to capture personal & payment details We’re not keen on the use of clichéd images, such as dumbbells, tape measures or weighing scales. However, if you have a novel way of treating such images we’d be happy to let you change our mind! We'd rather focus on images that show the positive outcomes that we help clients achieve or the changes have improved their lives. Feel free to decide on an appropriate style of images, based on your interpretation and understanding of the brief. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:32:02 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/landing_page_uncoded/toobee LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are an all American toy company that has made the Toobee in Milwaukee, WI for over 30 years www.toobee.com and we have decided to spend our time and resources on www.cannedwater4kids.org We want to sell all of our inventory before Christmas so we can use the money to drill clean drinking water wells for kids in 3rd world countries We started the Toobee Airforce which has a motto that success comes in cans and failure comes in cannots. The TAF mission is to fly around the world to enforce world peace by bringing people together. If we chose your design we will give you credit & promote your name on our webpage. If we happen to sell most of these toys you will receive a cool surprise from us which we think you will really like We are the longest going unknown fad in the world. You can Google us and see for yourself. . HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We want a very creative & innovative simple web page that will sell the last 20,000 Toobees we have in inventory. Again all money goes to our www.cannedwater4kids.org charity. We already have a www.toobee.com which you can use as reference. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Kids 6 to 18 and college kids Anyone who plays Frisbee Frisbee pros call Toobee Frisbee's sister toy WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: No real preferences - you can use info from www.toobee.com WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Be very creative and innovative Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:26:50 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/website_templates_for_security_systems_company We are looking for a fresh new design for a couple of existing sites that are different brands within the same group of companies, and will therefore have a common look and feel. Due to this we require a design that will look good with a variety of base colours. The companies in question provide security related devices for buildings (e.g. revolving doors, CCTV systems, car park barriers etc). The design must suit the type of audience buying these products. With regard to look and feel the client has some preferences - most prominently a light, clean and organised look. The client likes the boxed look of http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/default.aspx as well as the background concept. Another site of interest is http://www.principalcorp.co.uk. This site has a navigation concept they are keen on e.g a main nav across the top of the page, a sub-nav down the left side as well as another fixed nav element which contains links to common pages across the site. It is envisaged that each main nav element will have a drop down to aid faster navigation. Attached are a few wireframes that show the sorts of layout that the site will use. These layouts will be used inside a content management system so therefore must suit the potential variability that this might provide, whilst taking into account the fixed elements such as navigation. Colour wise, the only existing colours are those in the logos - orange and blue. It would be nice for the designs to differentiate the brand using these colour schemes where possible.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We like this design http://www.ellos.dk/splashpage/splashpage.aspx?categoryid=23012 But without the login header and the top top header. - Our site just need one top header (the "DAME" - "HERRE" - "BØRN" and so on header in the link: http://www.ellos.dk/splashpage/splashpage.aspx?categoryid=23012 WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We want: - A design which can be coded in a wordpress blog - Simple clean and nice design Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:22:47 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/header/registered_agent_information_com LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: This is an informational site that links to different state sites with information about registered agents for legal service of process in each state. People looking for legal service of process or governmental information use this site to find state government offices and agencies. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We really like the elements making up the header we have now, but the text looks janky. Would like to see some concepts using these type elements, but just more professional and polished looking. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Attorneys, Paralegals, General public looking for public information, etc. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We like our current one, but the fint in the header doesn't work for us.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:09:55 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/header/logo_header_and_footer LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Polly want a deal is a deal-of-the-day website that strives to provide at least 40% off retail prices on our items. Every 24 hours starting at 9:00A.M EST, we put up a new deal. We only have one product at a time and we do not tell you our quantity. We are competing with http://woot.com . Note: The name polly want a deal was taken from the saying polly want a cracker in the pirate world. We are laid-back, good looking and clean-shaven people. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Our idea: The top 1/3 of the page is an overwater view of a pirate ship in the distance(header). Going down from there, it will be as if you are going under the sea. The middle of the page therefore will be water with a few random bubbles. The bottom third of the page(footer) will show the ocean floor with a treasure box open resting on the sand along with a scuba diver(polly, our brand ambassador which is a naughty parrot). To clarify, Polly the parrot will be the scuba diver. You can checkout the layout of our website at http://www.pollywantadeal.com .It is clearly divisble into 3 sections. We will also be needing a logo showing Polly the parrot and written Polly Want a Deal? We envision Polly the parrot, being a strong nice yet shady merchant. Note: We need this all done in a cartoon theme. We want to draw attention and not steer attention from our deal of the day. We believe that great creative work will help sell our product, not deter customers. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our customers are deal-seekers. We want to provide value in the deals we give, but also want to provide a fun experience on the website. We want to show character in our brand yet maintain professionalism. Our demographics is 66% male, 39% age 35-49 and 48% are college educated. These people like websites that use conversational language, not formal. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: http://woot.com - simplicity and strong call-to-actions WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We need to have a pirate theme and center the brand our polly the parrot.

Please feel free to visit our website (www.nightingale.com ) to get an idea of our products and services. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a 728x90 banner ad and a 300x250 banner ad to promote our “Secret to Attracting Money” audio program. So the same design but resized so the final banner is in both the 728x90 and the 300x250 size. The banner will link to this landing page: http://www.nightingale.com/offers/joe-vitales-secret-to-attracting-money3.html? The BANNER should include this copy: Why struggle, strive, and work for money ... when all you really have to do is ATTRACT it? Find out how! (button) www.nightingale.com (small font in lower corner) Banner can include animation. Animated ads can be formatted as either .GIF and Flash files The banner will be used on Google's ad network as well as other websites where we promote our products. Must meet Google Adwords Banner Specs: Banner specs: Banner ad file must be 50K or smaller. Size: 728x90 and 300x250 If Animated, ad can include a maximum of 30 seconds of animation (at a 15-20 fps frame rate). Endless looping is not allowed. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our current customer file is about 52% male / 48 % female ages 30-55, with the majority being professional/business individuals looking for personal and professional development. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Designs that use fonts that are easy to read, WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Designs that use fonts that are easy to read, Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:33:37 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/firestarter_labs_web_design ABOUT US: We're developing a Web application for preparing presentations that don't suck. Our tool takes a user through the whole process of developing a presentation: analyzing the needs of their audience; simplifying complex concepts; developing persuasive arguments; and ultimately producing visual media (e.g., PowerPoint) and rehearsing in a way that reduces anxiety. We are focused on developing a user interaction that is conversational, efficient, and a little fun. We’ll be involved buyers – providing timely feedback on every new design. WHAT WE NEED: We’d like you to design a homepage, a sign up form, as well as a couple internal pages for our application. For the homepage we have one goal: drive users to try our application. Without filling the home page with text, we’d also like to prevent the misconceptions that we’ve encountered previously: • We’re not a replacement for PowerPoint • We’re not a presentation design company • We’re not a speaking coach The homepage needs to create interest so get the idea across and skip the typical stiff corporate looking templates. Be creative. I love creative uses of typography, hand drawn designs, layering, textures, grunge (at a level consistent with our logo)… Our web application is basically an overgrown wizard (sort of like TurboTax). We’ve been developing and testing paper and software prototypes, and now we need to polish the visual design. I’m attaching a document with wireframes for two screens from the application and descriptions of various elements. For the application we are striving for user efficiency without being boring. I think we'll need to stay away from gratuitous decoration. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE: Anyone that creates presentations, regardless if they use PowerPoint, Keynote, or even a whiteboard. While many of our users will be corporate, we believe the easiest converts will be those that want to stand out from the crowd. SITES WE LIKE (AND WHY): Good examples of uncrowded home pages. The content needed for SEO purposes is mostly below the fold. • www.mailchimp.com Simple / clean design keeps the focus on the “call to action”. Larger than average fonts. Some detail is available, but it is mostly below the fold. • http://fortysevenmedia.com/ “Don’t hire us (if you want average)” - great • http://mutantlabs.co.uk/ Pretty, and a little odd. • http://www.31three.com/ Interesting image (not standard stock photo). • http://www.matthamm.com/ Fun – bold typography. • http://www.floridaflourish.com/ Beautiful. • http://www.silverbackapp.com/ Simple. WHAT WE DON'T LIKE: • Trite imagery • Typical business stock photography, and formal homepage layouts • Home pages with lots of tiny text WHAT ELSE?: We're attached a MS Word document with all the above plus wireframes. If you have alternative ideas you want to pass by us, or need more copy or application information just send me a message. Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:58:23 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/premium_quality_web_design_executive_jet_charter_company Let me tell you about us... Edwards Aviation is a specialist corporate jet and propeller driven aircraft charter company. It owns and flies its own fleet of executive jets and has operated its own website... http://www.air-charter-australia.com/ ...for many years. In recognition of the changing distribution channel dynamics that the internet has been the catalyst for, the company is now seeking to significantly upgrade their online presence and actively pursue online marketing, direct to the market rather than via agents or intermediaries. Here is what we need... A fresh approach to jet charter website design with an engaging home page and sub-page layout that delivers a quality message that connects with site visitors and prompts them to call or make an online enquiry. Our target audience is... Corporate Executives and their Personal Assistants, Corporate Travel Managers, Entertainment Travel Managers (eg on behalf of high profiel actors or musicians), Government Travel Managers A particular emphasis on major mining, banking and Fortune 500 companies. Key factors to convey... Quality, service, we truly will go to the extreme to help our clients achieve their charter needs, professionally and discretely – we are upscale and offer great service at competitive rates Highly personal service and highly flexible – in recognition that in business, things often happen at the last minute Warm, friendly, approachable – we "connect" with our guests Safety, reliability, the highest aircraft service standards We absolutely must have... We don’t wish to place any constraints on the design phase and although we realise that we don’t really have a logo, for the moment we are quite happy with a simple, elegant text execution of our name “Edwards Aviation” Australia – once we have the web site design we will blend corporate identity with the new site – still simple and elegant We will need you to designboth a home page layout as well as an internal/sub-page page layout so that we can see how you treat internal navigation and pages – please look carefully at the draft navigation file uploaded – we will be adding a LOT of new content Reference Sites: The aircraft we fly: • http://www.cessna.com/index.html • http://www.cessna.com/citation/citation-cj2.html • http://www.cessna.com/citation/citation-cj1.html • http://www.newpiper.com/ • http://www.hawkerbeechcraft.com/beechcraft/aircraft/pistons/barong58/ Competitor websites: • http://www.altitudeaviation.com.au/ • http://www.adagold.com.au/ • http://www.projet.net.au/ • http://www.globaljet.com.au/ • http://www.elitejet.com.au/ • http://www.executiveairlines.com.au/ • http://www.celijet.com.au/ We don’t just want to emulate these, we want to leap ahead of them. Some final notes... If we were a car we would be a...Mercedes Benz If we were a beverage brand we would be...Moet et Chandon Must be search engine-friendly eg room for a reasonable amount of text Must feature the aircraft Must feature some of the destinations across Australia and the Pacific that we fly to, from major cities to mining locations in the desert Thanks heaps for helping us along the way to our new online presence! Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:15:30 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/new_financial_services_product LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a startup financial services company looking to enhance the presentation of our product on our website. Our product offers homeowners the ability to protect the value of their home against declines in the real estate market. Prospects can come to our website to learn about the product, get a price quote for their home (by giving zip code, home purchase date and purchase price), and continuing through the enrollment process all the way to completing a credit card transaction to enroll in the service. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Our current website has three main page templates: a home page, information based pages, and quote/purchase path pages. This is a new product category. We have a unique challenge to simultaneously educate, establish credibility and sell. Our existing website is: www.equityprotection.com Interested parties should create concepts for each of the three page templates. This project can either be a complete rework of creative or if you prefer, a cosmetic upgrade of the existing approach. We are open to all ideas – including a new logo! The selected winner will also have the opportunity to engage in additional work to build out all of the pages. Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:50:01 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/large_website_uncoded/efac_web_design EFAC is a new non-profit working with established charities to provide a social media marketing platform for supporters of the charities. The project is to develop an 8 page Web site for EFAC. The site is a functional Web 2.0 site allowing subscribers to promote their favorite charities and endorse things that they like. Detailed wireframes for the 8 pages are available. Because this is a highly functional site, and not simply a "corporate brochure", we are seeking a clean design that effectively leverages color, font, separators, shading, button sets, etc. to guide the user through a multi-step sign-up process. Most of the design work will go into the main page (typical, right?). The 7 additional pages will all follow a very consistent template. I would like to see samples (main page + interior page) of similar designs in a portfolio before I engage designers. Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:18:21 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/blog_theme_uncoded/wordpress_blog_theme_for_e_commerce_management_company LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Jet Pack brings e-commerce management to Middle Market businesses established in offline sales channels that lack the know-how, or ability to launch and manage their own platform. With the systems and e-commerce expertise in place to help established Middle Market businesses develop an effective e-commerce effort, Jet Pack is their “go-to” outsource provider for all e-commerce needs. Our clients feel as though they have an entire department devoted to their e-commerce needs with a fraction of the overhead. We work closely with our clients management teams to coincide all marketing and merchandising needs as well as effectively communicating the client’s mission through a clean and fully functional website. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need to design a website using the WordPress blog link below. We have roughly thrown up some copy and used a temporary template just to get something live, which is not the look we want to use for our website. See the attached excel file for more detail on the website framework. http://jetpackllc.wordpress.com/ We have just recently concluded a identity contest on CrowdSpring which is also attached. We would like to take this identity and design a website which fits our Web 2.0 approach to business. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: We intend to use our website as a marketing tool to generate leads and to showcase our portfolio of existing clients to potential new clients. Our target clients are Middle Market Businesses that are established offline. Our clients will be making a serious financial commitment for our services, so we want a website that is a professional, established, enterprise level business solution look and feel to the client. Our clients will all be B2B. We want the clients to think of Jet Pack as their true partner in e-commerce business. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: While we like clean and simple designs like the designs below, we don't want to limit the submissions. Keeping the other requirements in mind, we are open to seeing what the community can design, however here are a few examples of sites we love. http://www.mint.com/ - current look and feel. site is easy to navigate. graphics are used in a smart and SEO friendly manner. love the font sizing. http://www.shopify.com/ - love the clean, simple design. love the font sizing. we wont be selling on our site, so it will be slightly different, but features should be incorporated like our framed out excel page. http://37signals.com/ - our type of style. great look and feel, without being too cartoon-like or cheesy. http://www.adknowledge.com/usa/ - very clean website. this site is similar in scope as to what we envision in terms of layout and navigation. http://liveops.com/ - good use of navigation in the header. http://transfs.com/ http://www.redeye.com/ - great use of graphical buttons. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: ***Must be able to code in a WordPress design. Please keep this in mind so as not to design something too crazy that cannot be coded. We want a "web 2.0" website look and feel. Please keep this in mind during the design process. We like clean, simple, modern design with a strong and bold feel. Font should be sans-serif. Want a professional look and feel since our clients are Middle Market businesses (eg. no cartoons, nothing too immature, but does not have to be a law firm looking site). While you are not required to code into WordPress, we need help once the winning design is selected. If you have experience with WordPress coding, please let us know how much in addition to code into WordPress, if selected, we can make arrangements to get the design into WordPress. Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:54:53 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/300x250_trusted_publisher_creative_for_travelzoo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Travelzoo was created as a travel information source website. It has evolved to offer access to the best travel deals as well as the “Travelzoo Top 20 Deals.” Travelzoo has a team of 120 "producers"--people who go out and find the best deals on the Web and work with travel partners to include those deals in the Top 20 newsletter. Travelzoo’s Test Booking Center confirms the accuracy and availability of every deal before the list goes out. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: For this test, we want to create an evergreen ad with a focus on the theme of Travelzoo as a “Trusted Publisher.” The goal is to increase signups to the free Travelzoo Top 20 newsletter. Try not to use the word “trusted” in the copy. Instead, we would prefer to show consumers that we are a trustworthy source of information rather than tell them. Below is relevant information regarding this theme: Travelzoo (NASDAQ: TZOO) is the most trusted publisher of travel deals. Our team researches, evaluates and tests thousands of deals to find those with true value. We recommend only deals whose accuracy and availability we can confirm. With over 18 million subscribers, we are the largest publisher of travel deals on the Internet. Only the most competitive make the Top 20. Our Test Booking Center confirms the accuracy and availability of every deal before the list goes out. We know there's nothing more frustrating than not being able to book a great deal. We created the Test Booking Center to test all of the deals you see on our Web site. If we find a travel deal that has a long telephone hold time, changes in dates or prices or any other issue, we'll let the travel company know about it and then update our site to give you the most accurate information. In addition, Travelzoo is a publicly-traded company listed on the NASDAQ and has over 20 offices worldwide. This test will focus on driving qualified leads to sign up to the Travelzoo Top 20 newsletter. A signup has a double opt-in, so after filling out the form and clicking ‘Sign Up’, the visitor is sent an email with a confirmation link. They must click the link to confirm. We consider qualified leads to have higher conversion rates, where customers click through to see more information about the travel deal being offered. The success of the test will be measured by the increase in percentage of qualified leads who enter their email address and click the submit button, and then confirm in the follow-up email.

Travelzoo’s Test Booking Center confirms the accuracy and availability of every deal before the list goes out. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: For this test, we want to create an evergreen ad with a focus on the low-priced deals. This could either focus on previous deals we have offered or percentage off messaging.

Travelzoo’s Test Booking Center confirms the accuracy and availability of every deal before the list goes out. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: For this test, we want to create an evergreen ad with a focus on the theme of being “In the Know.” The goal is to increase signups to the free Travelzoo Top 20 newsletter. Travelzoo subscribers get access to viewing incredible travel deals. Subscribers find emotional benefits to the brand in that they feel good about knowing the best travel deals from Travelzoo. Travelzoo makes it possible for people to travel when they may not normally have done so. Below is just one sample of a Travelzoo subscriber’s experience that illustrates the emotional benefits of Travelzoo: Travelzoo is a working site that offers the standard, wonderful fare of travel information, bargains to consider and places to think about going. But it also has a weekly feature called its “Top 20″ which it sends by e-mail. This is an amazing array of bargains from all over the world and around the corner, too. I know that I’m not going to fly to Tahiti in any hurry (as much as I have always wanted to go there) no matter that the prices is off by 50 percent. But it’s nice to fantasize. More, Travelzoo rummages around the world of travel sales and offers neat hotel arrangements, tickets to shows and the like. I have gone to New York solely on the basis of a Travelzoo bargain. I went to see the Grand Old Opry because Travelzoo shared a resort-Opry package that was about 40 percent of what I could find anywhere else.

Deliverables will be psd layouts for: • Home page layout, with identical main nav and drop down menu items as the Princess Int. site, but with the addition to the main nav of "For Sale" and "Charter".

For an idea of required data points for the description and specifications, take a look at a boat detail page on http://www.boatpoint.com.au • Separate section for vessels for Charter, linking from a prominent and individual graphic device on the home page layout as well as the main nav. The two vessels for charter can be viewed at: http://megistiblue.com/myproteus.htm http://megistiblue.com/myiris.htm Required elements are summary copy, specifications data, accommodation copy, image gallery (non-flash), download pdf button/link, enquiries button/link, print button/link. • News & Events page/s.

The basic design is already completed on 12 of the icons. We simply need the current icons tweaked a bit and another 9 icons designed. All of the Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files are included so you can use them to modify. A detailed description of what we are looking for is also attached (see DetailedDescription.pdg).

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We have provided files of the current People Icons (see peopleicons.zip and peopleconnect.zip). We like how they look – the colors, shades, 3D puck look, pipe, etc.). Please use your talent to provide the layout, design, colors, and fonts that you believe is best to add what is needed. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Please do not use shades of gray for any of the People icons (that color will be used for companies). Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:05:07 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/icons_and_buttons/graphics_and_illustrations_for_website_homepage LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: LedgersOnline is an online accounting and web application hosting business… We offer these two types of services. Here is some background on our company… The LOL online accounting service can manage and coordinate accounting services for your accounting records that provide you with clean and concise monthly, quarterly and year-end reports. In addition to this, we provide you with an option for direct online access to your accounting application. To start there is no need to change your existing accounting system we can just plug in to the system you have in place right now. All of our services are delivered through the streamlined efficiency of our online systems and unparalleled client service. The LOL hosting service allows you to stay connected to your accounting and bookkeeping data. Our system "web-enables" your existing accounting application, allowing you anywhere, anytime access to your live accounting data. Eliminate the hassles of passing files back and forth, and instead, easily enable collaboration between a business owner, bookkeeper, and accountant as part of the work-flow. There is no need to change your existing software, as we can publish any desktop accounting application. This will make them web-enabled, allowing for real time access from multiple locations to foster collaboration and efficiency. LedgersOnline has the technology to allow us to publish any desktop application to you as a web application integrating easily with Quickbooks®, Simply Accounting® and many other popular accounting and financial management software packages HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need two professional, trendy graphics that we can use as the main graphical features on our website’s homepage. We are hoping to have these graphics become 2 of 6 graphics that will rotate through on the homepage… We are trying to be unique and to stand apart from most online accounting and hosting website out there. We would like to generate a more modern, web 2.0 feel to our website, which is currently under construction. (I will attach a screen shot of our new design for the website.) We have two awards, feel free to come up with a graphic for either of the below two graphics described or both of them. The first graphic will include the words “UNDERSTAND YOUR CASH FLOW”. We need a strong, creative graphic depicting this phrase, bringing life to what might be considered a boring topic. The second graphic will include the words “FIND HIDDEN INCOME”. We will also need a strong, creative graphic depicting this phrase. Feel free to use charts or graphical representations in the images. We would like them to be detailed, clever, and crisp and not cartoon like; with a 3D, multidimensional feel. We would also like to maintain a consistent style throughout the graphics. So there is potential for more work on the other four graphics if you are awarded this initial project. As the graphics rotate through 1 to 6 the words beside the graphics box will read: “Grow your accounting business, not your accounting department.” (LOL slogan) “LedgersOnline combines technology solutions and professional services to create a simple and effective method to outsource your accounting and bookkeeping.” OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Users of the site are generally small to medium sized business. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: No preference as of now. Open to all ideas. I Will post updates to narrow this down. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Again, we are flexible and open to all design ideas + color pallets, although they should correspond with the attached mock up of our new site. I look forward to seeing your creativity in action. We will post comments and feedback based on the submissions to indicate our preferences.

(https://secure.infodome.com/solutions.jsp). Each solution will contain one form and one report. InfoDome lets web designers visually create an online database solution – without a database/web developer. From reg. forms and surveys to product catalogs and inventory tracking, InfoDome makes it simple to create the database (either from scratch or by importing data), and then build forms and reports WYSIWYG to be shared with users or embedded in a website. We're looking for an online database solution (i.e., at least one form and report) that showcases InfoDome's power, simplicity and appeal. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Complete both solutions per crowdSPRING entry. Solution 1: Webinar Registration Form a. Create a webinar registration form. Embed this in an HTML page. b. Create a report that displays who is attending the webinar Solution 2: Asset Tracking Form a. Create an Asset Tracking form. Embed this in an HTML page. b. Create a report that displays images submitted. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The market for InfoDome includes web designers and developers, and database and spreadsheet users – people who create solutions to manage, analyze and share data. The InfoDome solutions catalog lets anyone click to get a pre-built solution. We’d like you to create a solution with broad appeal – something that a lot of visitors to our site would say, "Wow, I'd love that solution for my website or company." It might be a simple but elegant registration form and report, or a product listing/catalog, or whatever you come up with. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Must Have: 1. Each solution must have at least one form and one report. The form must be embedded in a plain HTML page. 2. Data should be sample, not real, or be allowed to be used in a public solution. 3. Contest submissions should be individual screen shots of the form(s) and report(s) – each in Data mode showing the field values, not in Design mode showing field names. For example, if your solution is one form and one report, you would submit two screen shots, one of each. 4. You’ll need to create a free InfoDome account, including clicking the link in your registration confirmation email. 5. Your solution submissions should be named: [your crowdSpring user ID] Solution Name examples: Your first entry DesignerABC_Webinar_1 DesignerABC_Asset_Tracking_1 Your second entry DesignerABC_Webinar_2 DesignerABC_Asset_Tracking_2 Nice to Have: 1. Solutions with more than one form or report are encouraged. 2. Contestants are encouraged to use the InfoDome forum for product or technical support and feedback: http://infodome.uservoice.com/pages/31604-general 3. Contestants are welcome to invite crowdspringuser@infodome.com as a User of their solution forms and reports – this provides us a clearer view of the solution rather than just the screen shots. It's easy to create a Person in InfoDome and give User rights to forms and reports, without giving rights to the underlying database, tables and relations. 4. Contestants are welcome to comment on their solution entries on crowdSPRING either publicly or privately to us. 5. There are many formula, style and formatting options for forms and reports; we look forward to your creativity 6. We encourage you to do the Getting Started Tutorial after you create your InfoDome account - it''s the fastest way to learn the product. 7. We also encourage you to refer to the InfoDome Quick Reference Guide. Should Not Have: 1. Solutions should not have data that can''t be shared publicly, or anything obscene, etc. 2. Please don''t criticize other contestants or entries – we''re just looking for creativity and a great solution Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:51:15 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/landing_page_uncoded/mathnasium_learning_centers_landing_page_lead_generation_page LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Mathnasium Learning Centers specialize in teaching kids math in a way that makes sense to them.

We will work with both nonprofit organizations and, in some cases, for profit organizations whose mission is "cause oriented". Our founders and key employees are seasoned executives, lawyers, doctors and consumer product marketers. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Phase One of our business plan will focus solely on being a "service provider". All we need for Phase One is a basic website (5 pages or less).

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: C-Level executives of major national and international nonprofit organizations (and the top level or two in marketing and development functions), marketing executives (specifically those focused on customer acquisition) at major consumer product brands, as well as end users and third-party "watchdogs" who may have interest in what we are up to. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We have uploaded the logo that was selected from a very large pool of submissions via CrowdSpring over the past couple weeks. We don't want something that looks like it is based on one of the generic Intuit/Homestead website templates.

This is a side project that is going to be used to showcase my creatively smart juices, in these difficult economic times, while utilizing my subject matter expert status and assets. All day I spend engulfed in my career baby sitting co-workers. Answering their questions and solving their problems based on my real world experience mixed with professional. I participate on conference call after conference call and meeting after meeting answering the same boring issues I solved 5yrs ago at 2AM in my "spare time". > Unexpected 'downtime' to capitalized. > Trusted, down to earth, real world council thats very difficult to come by. > Knowledge and experience that can related too, from an end user and executive perspective. I am sure this leaves much to be answered. Please feel free to ask questions! The project name concept is: T H I N K L 3 T S T O G O (replace the 3 with an E)* My main identity in the market is: T H I N K C Y C L 3 S (replace the 3 with an E)* *Circumventing the Search bots :-) There will be an aspect of this which requires users to initiate purchasing a time slot of services. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I need just a one page design 'layout' that I can utilize (if needed) for the entire site. My main focus here is simply the splash or homepage. This site is all about a unique professional clean design layout. This site must be unique and cannot be a run of the mill 'template monster' piece of garbage. This needs to look professional. Its all in the presentation. The site will be used to market myself and my time. Im not worried about the copy, you can 'lorem ipsum' it up. The main objective is really showcasing a clean site that gets the message across. This is something that I can easily see getting a lot of press on, so it needs to be simple and to the point. Everything must be conveyed on just the one single page. Any 'links' with in the design layout can simply be anchors within the page (see we like design section). This IS a one pager. This is not a wordpress or other type of theme. This is 110% custom site. Delivery files desired: - PSD - HTML/CSS - FONTS (if anything special used) If you have any concerns please let me know. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Target audience is business professionals, marketing, pr, and others caught up in the corporate world seeking advice and assistance, but not looking to spend big dollars on a consultancy or some 'guru' that picked up a 'for dummies' series. Secondary audience is those looking for perhaps entry level knowledge from someone with +15yrs knowledge not just professionally but eating it for breakfast. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Here are some sites which stick out in my mind: http://UnStickMe.com -------------------------------------------- This is a good example of a one page site that has a very custom feel and a direct call to action. Links are anchors on the same page with a minimal impact to the layout design. Very clean and professional. Dont go dropping duct tape, thats not what I'm looking for here. http://iwearyourshirt.com ------------------------------------------- This example is less about the creative and more about the message that is being conveyed from the very start. pay less attention to this. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Clean, professional, unique, creative, call to action, message conveyed in 1 page, kicking ass.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:01:40 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/landing_page_uncoded/new_and_fresh_look_for_travel_page LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a travel website focused around travel search and providing enough information to users that they can choose the best hotels, restaurants and things-to-do. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We are looking for a creative designer to provide us with Web 2.0 logo and a design/skin with a theme based on our layout guidelines shown below. The award for this project is set to $400 with the potential of more work if the design is accepted. The name of our website is TripZen. Like all other travel sites, we hope to achieve a clean, fun and relaxing feel to our users. (You can also think of yourself as a potential user and what you'd like to see on a travel site :)) 1) Design a logo around the word 'TripZen'. Our tagline is 'Plan The Perfect Trip'. Feel free to suggest a catchy phrase if you think yours is better! 2) We have the layout fixed and all we need is a aestheically good-looking header/footer or skinning to go with our layout :) You may do some designs (like icons) for the contents inside the layout to fit your overall look and to maintain a consistent look but that should be minimal. The layout should work for both of the layouts attached in this page. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: People who are planning travel and are looking for hotels, restaurants or things to do.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:24:53 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/landing_page_uncoded/car_sharing_landing_page LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Spride Car Share is a person-to-person car sharing service. Our solution allows individuals and organizations that own cars to rent them out by the hour or by the day. Insurance, marketing, branding, technology, and customer support are handled by Spride car share. Owners of late-model cars use this service to offer their cars for rent to a trusted, screened set of drivers. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a landing page that visually showcases a person-to-person car sharing service. The landing page should support the following: A "Spride Car Share" Logo One Call to Action - Learn More Support for explanation written copy of up to 450 characters. Visually appealing that showcases the idea of car sharing, especially for speciality vehicles - SUVs, Trucks, Vans, Cars with Accessories (car seats, bike rack, ski rack, etc) OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Urban dwellers in major metropolitan area web 2.0 savvy users WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: http://www.zipcar.com http://www.apple.com http://www.airbnb.com WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The purpose of this landing page is to validate the concept of the person-to-person car sharing service therefore we need designs that can be easily formatted into HTML so we can test various copy/marketing/video placements. This also means we prefer standard HTML-ready fonts/fontsizes. Furthermore, we may decide to integrate the design into wordpress so please take this into consideration when you are building the design. If you can visually showcase the idea of car sharing, this is an added bonus. Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:47:07 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/new_home_page_for_circ_us We are looking for a bold new look for our marketing firm, Circ.us (pronounced "circus"). The current site (http://circ.us) is a Wordpress theme that we've customized but we don't feel its professional enough looking for what we do and it looks washed out with the amount of white on the page. The Circ.us brand should be fun but modern. We don't want the look to be too cliche, so use big tops, three rings, clowns, elephants dancing and other elements sparingly or give them a totally new take. We want this to be a some what understated look from what people expect when they hear "Circus" is our name. What will stay the same from the existing site is the navigation and the need for a featured work area that shows off some art and a description of some of our projects. The current site has a rotator that cycles through recent news or portfolio pieces. Regarding our logo -- We are open to changing the colors of the logo as they are somewhat difficult to work with on a site design. You can also drop the tagline from the logo if it helps. I've attached a white on black version that was recently done as an example of what we're open to doing. Here are some URLs to sites for companies that are like ours: http://www.barbariangroup.com/ http://www.rga.com/ http://www.bigspaceship.com/ http://www.zemoga.com/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:56:33 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/header/logo_design_for_blog_header_best_kids_apps_an_iphone_game_review_site_for_tech_savvy_parents LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Best Kids Apps is a review blog for parents who want to find the best children’s iPhone applications without slogging through the entire iTunes Store. A lot of app reviews on the web are written by gamers; ours are written by moms. The iPhone app and smart phone games reviewed on the site tell readers what’s hot and what’s not so hot about the most popular apps, games and storybooks for kids available on iTunes. This site is the brainchild of two professional bloggers and iPhone enthusiasts who struggle daily for control of their phones with people who cannot reliably blow their own noses. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo/blog header for the title of our website. It will be used as the blog’s header (see http://bestkidsapps.com ) But we would also like to use it for other things ranging from business cards to t-shirts and mousepads. The logo needs to reflect the fun and playful (yet web 2.0) material & functionality on the blog. Here is the title followed by the tagline: Best Kids Apps We play all the iPhone games so you don’t have to OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Sophisticated and tech-savvy parents of children ages 0-10. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: - We really like the big bold chunky font of #10 “Hello There” on this page of 2010 Web design trends. We also like the thin, understated tagline beneath it. http://webdesignledger.com/tips/web-design-trends-for-2010 - We also like the following designs for their fun nature, and little mascot creatures are good. Note that any creatures would have to work well with the creatures (we’re using as our subscribe icons) already on our site. http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/48909 http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/40307 http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/55865 http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/71672 - it’s definitely not a must, but we like warm colors. Show us something that will pop against our blue links. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Must have: 1. A wide but not tall profile, this is a header more than a logo. 2. A white background. 3. Must fit in the top area of our website, and leave room for our search box. Don’t want: 1. More than two accent colors (preferably black text, with 2 of the following: red, yellow, green, or orange). 2. Boring, corporate, or ornate fonts.

Should go in the middle of the page, similar to where the search box is located on Google - Need a logo that says "ScriptButter" to go directly above the search box - Below the search box should text that says "Submit a script URL", with a down facing triangle next to it.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a design for the iPhone application following the description below: Goal: To create an iPhone app that will motivate people to travel to Britain via their interest in British Film and TV. Description: The proposed iPhone app will be a destination marketing app in disguise.

A, B, C, D options will be available for the user to tap on the correct answer in a multiple choice format. After each question is answered correctly then a fact about Britain will be displayed on the screen before advancing to the next question. 2) Picture Puzzle - rearrange small picture blocks on the screen to solve the picture puzzle. Possible images that would be created as a puzzle would be celebrities or famous geographical landmarks of Britain. After each puzzle is solved then a fact about Britain will be displayed on the screen before advancing to the next puzzle 3) Shake Your Knowledge - Urbanspoon model - "lock" your chosen parameter (s) and shake to get the name of the movie that was filmed within your locked parameters: Region, Actor or Actress, TV Show or Film lock in one or more and shake...combination spins then movie title is displayed with more info about movie. 4) Optional - Explore Britain tab - General information about Britain and Travel OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: British Movie Lovers WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: iPhone app designs.

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:30:16 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/design_for_animated_advertising_banner_mpu_for_find_a_lawyer_type_service LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Please see our recent print ad project: http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/print_design/press_advert_various_sizes and website project: http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/website_re_design_homepage_and_first_few_sub_pages Essentially we help people find a lawyer for their problem. We offer a legal Quality Mark where the public choose the holders of the mark through their feedback; essentially the public choose the firms which hold the mark and we encourage consumers to use lawyers with the mark. The public contact us and we connect them to the best lawyer for their particular issue. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: An animated banner design. If it is only designed then it will need to be presented in a storyboard fashion so we can see how it develops. Please see the brief here: http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/print_design/press_advert_various_sizes This brief is applicable here. We want something clever that highlights the difficulty people have in choosing a lawyer because they all appear pretty much the same from the consumer perspective and how QualitySolicitors.com helps overcome that and find a quality lawyer. The call to action is effectively; if you need a lawyer - this is where to go. See some of the clever press ad ideas in the above project for some inspiration - we especially like those by Slovaczech, lisadesigns and ElectricBureau. We want some clever, eye-catching animation in this ad. Something that really draws attention. Perhaps something using our avatar (the pink speech bubble/Q with an S in the middle)... Look forward to seeing your ideas. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: See projects above for details. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Likewise. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Our logo, our phone number 0845 50 50 025 and, of course, a clear call to action to get people clicking. We would prefer black background with pink and white foreground and have therefore added those versions of our logo. Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:58:27 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/an_information_portal_for_cutting_edge_app_dev_geeks We are launching a new website dedicated to the custom application development for professional developers of cutting edge business applications. The purpose of the site is to inform our audience about the latest custom applications for development and integration regarding cloud computing, ERP integration, and rapid application development. Fast, efficient, modern, hi tech, total customer satisfaction should be the ideas communicated in your design. Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:10:11 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/large_website_uncoded/unstoppable_pr_social_media_agency_seeks_website_redesign_uncoded The agency is one of the fastest-growing, best-known PR/Social Media players on the block. Seeking a website revamp that quickly, snappily tells the transformative tale of how communications is being revolutionized & about our role as a trusted guide, strategist, and execution agent par excellence. The winning design will be clean, intuitive, and impactful: we have a ton of great examples of our success with FORTUNE 1000 brands; a ton of awards; and an unparalleled reputation ... The first-time visitor should not be able to visit our splashpage without thinking, "Wow. I've got to talk to these folks." When implemented, the winning design must not mess with our SEO, which is tops in the industry. Winning design should be future-proofed and flexible enough that we could swap-out elements (e.g., case studies, if that's part of the final look) with some basic skills. We have many employee-written blogs (including an award-winning blog written by an agency principal), dozens of employees on Twitter, and a Facebook Fan Page that is growing in popularity. Ideally we could figure out a way to showcase these activities without distracting visitors. We care about the liberal use of white space and other usability issues (http://j.mp/12OjfT). Please make minimal (or no) use of Flash. Anything that requires the visitor to see "Loading ... " would need to be pretty amazing to be considered. We like sites like: http://basecamphq.com/ http://vimeo.com/ http://superfan.com/ http://sterlingpr.com/ http://www.viget.com/ http://www.salesforce.com/ But all that should tell you is that we like clean, snappy design. You could score points for going a li'l nuts: why not a splashpage made up from a gorgeous HD photo, with simple/clever nav off to the side? We're open to Being Different.

The first webinar is on stress -- but we'll have other topics pertinent to working women in the upcoming months, and this template will have to work for all those as well. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Working women -- age 25-65 ... typically in front-line positions through first levels of supervision/management (very few execs). WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: *Looking for a bright, playful – happy – design *I’d really prefer to NOT use realistic photos of people. *The "Wisdom for Working Women" is the name of the webinar series -- and so should be given somewhat of a separate "logo" treatment at the top of the page. *The title and date should be THE most prominent elements on the page. *Don't use a lot of reverse type -- if it is used, use it judiciously only for large type or small type blocks. Designs that come in with nearly all reverse type will not be considered. *If your design is selected – you’ll need to provide a fully editable layered PSD document, list of fonts used, source of graphics used. Thanks for working on this project!

Our new website is 75% finished, but we want the typography to be better, plus a couple of other things. Winning this contest won't require a large volume of design work. It's all about finalizing the details of an existing design.
