View Full Version : Need A Design Done For eNz - Urgent

eNewsZone.com is currently a top site for entertainment, getting over 10,000 uniques a day. Its current layout has gotten nothing but compliments from fans, and is very clean and professional-looking. Yet, I feel that the site deserves better, a level I cannot personally attain.

Thus, I am looking to pay around $20-50 (depends on quality and work evidence) for a new layout. It would need to be significantly better than the current one (which shouldn't be a challenge for a pro designer) and be fully sliced & coded in HTML (i would convert to the php I am using on the site). Please note that this price is what I am going to be paying, so if you're going to treat the job lightly because of the pay, or whatever, don't offer any services at all.

I'm looking for a lighter color for the site, and a more professional feel. Sites like entertainment.msn.com, gamespot.com, and ign.com capture the feel I'm looking for - no insane graphics but a very creative, original, and attractive interface. New fans to the site should instantly realize that eNewsZone.com is a serious business that has roots dating back for over 15 months.

I would need the layout done, with high quality, by Sunday night.

I originally posted for a design before I converted FHWrestling.com to eNewsZone.com back in early April. I got a good response, but when it came time for the layout to be handed to me, everyone made excuses, to the point where I became frustrated. I need the layout done by this weekend, so if you accept the job, you must have it done by then (or at least something very significant to show me, with it ready EARLY MONDAY).

Also, note that this is not a price war. While I'm reluctant to pay as much as $50 unless it's a very good design, I'm not going to prioritize cheaper layouts, if they're not as good. Now, don't get me wrong, the cheaper you can provide the better (as I'm going for the best overall value) but if you can't do it for less than say $35, still submit your work.

Thanks.

*NOTE* I'm not looking for the same layout I have now with new images/colors, I want a new look, but nothing too outrageously different. If you are just going to make slightly better images, as a way to get out of doing much work, please don't reply to this post.

If you cannot do work for the price range listed, I urge you not to bother replying as, at this point, I'm not looking to pay more than that.

As I said, it can be done by Monday. But, maybe it's flawed logic on my part, I would think it'd be easier for the designer to get the layout out of the way and get a quick payment, as opposed to prolonging it forever.

Since Monday's Memorial Day, I want to get started on the conversion process Monday night.

Actually, I can do it for 40, but youll also have to agree to put an advertisement of my website (banner) on your site.

$40 is less than 1/2 of 1 cent CPM on my site, so if you need a banner on the site, the design would have to be free.

I know it may be lower than what some people charge, but sarcasm is not appreciated.

If you were to work until tomorrow evening (probably 10 hours of work at the most), that's $50/hour. That's absurd lol.

I'm going to have to ask again, that if you do not want to be reasonable price-wise, and take this offer, then stop wasting your time by replying.

Some points:

1. Benfhw set his price - you can PM your offers
2. If you think it's too low or whatever, don't PM anything.
3. Per the rules, questioning the terms of a thread that offers services etc. is not tolerated.

Now, my advice to Benfhw is to do some research about what design means and how much it's valued per hour or per project. This way he can get the most for his money.

Lol, ENSupport's hosting design looks like a donkey took a **** on the screen; so don't give me any crap about what his design's worth. And, EN, don't bother replying because that's enough out of you already.

For the last time, if you don't want in, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING. I don't need your stupid, senseless remarks. This is about a designer getting the opportunity to work for a quality site and showcase his work

umm... 50.00 a hour is reasonable and quite average.

www.1lotus.com charges 45-55 a/hour.
you say you want a pro to do it, you wont get that for under 40 and hour..

you need to realize that, and your site is also a haven for popups. Yuck!
