wat do u guys want the flash to contain? like what words to be shown/animated? should it be the header or just an animation on the front page?


ps. you should really increase the prizes to encourage other people to participate.

The flash should contain words like instant activation, money back guarantee, daily backup, fast support, 24 hour network monitoring and reseller program, maybe with our logo. Just be creative.


Ok, will increase, the winner will get the following.

1- Starter plan for 1 year ($48)
2- Reseller fees waived ($100)
3- Five Smart plans for resellers ( 5 x $14.25 = $71.25 )

What do you think of that?

So you may choose between getting the above hosting rewards or a $100 in cash.


So, is anyone interested now? I want to see some work.

is there a reson you wnat it done strictly in flash? that dosn't allow for very much customization by you...

I would enter if it was site design over all and not restricted to flash..if you want to open it up a little you got a taker [lol]

eh maybe you would just prefer flash..its nice...I just never would concider it strictly for a company since people viewing the site require a plug in then to view it.

just my 2cents

It is not ONLY flash. I need a template WITH flash.

That is a normal web template, with normal graphics, and a flash within it. Just like verio.com for example.

I do not want an ONLY flash site, like you said, people will hate me :)

Ahmed

is that the real end? or r u gonna extend it again? and how long should the flash suppose to be? is it only text or should it have pictures in it?

and should the text only be "instant activation", "money-back ....", "fast support" nothin else?


just wondering

nozol
03-22-2002, 09:19 AM
That will be the end, no other chances will be given.

Regarding the flash, I realy do not have anything special in mind.
I only need it to be inside the template and to loop. I do not want a splash page, just a flash inside the template.

Thanks.

NumLock

loop ha, dats makes it more the harder, iwas thinking of a flash animation that stops and shows a button to another page (hosting info page or watever), back to the drawing board.

It's sort of bare-bone now. If you choose this I can add all the stuff you want.

NumLock

ok, finished the layout (not the flash yet) but just the html. the flash will be placed above the 'domain registration' box. :)

[look down]

gonna probably finish the flash tomorrow. and i'll also work on the banner (kinda not higlighted as much).

Very nice Numlock. But I had to change the resolution to 640x480 to 'almost' see it. I like it, here aer my comments before you go on.

- If you could change the reseller image, that will be nice.
- A more clear preview is much appreciated.
- If you could put our logo, that will be nice.
- Maybe change the green and orange colors.

Except that, I like it. Waiting for the flash.

Regards,

Ahmed

Maybe it will look good in the clearer version. Fine, no problem, leave it as is. Thank you so much.

ok, heres my finished template, took me one n 1/3 week to do.

desription:
>> the top navigation buttons changes when mouse is over.
>> the "box" centers itself inside the browser at watever screen resolution.
>> the flash animation is 35kb


ps, iam unable to put the nozol logo coz if i copy and resize it, the edges will look jaggered and wont look good. the logo u gave me was too big to fit the banner.


now i can go back n sleep.............zzzzz
