Please don't make me an offer if you are looking for a template with a rock-bottom price. Alot of work went into this template, and I'm not really interested in any offers less than $130.00.

all png files (can also export in psd format)
all gif/jpg files
HTML file complete with sliced images
text on home page modified to your specs
corresponding shell template for sub pages


AUCTION HAS ENDED. TEMPLATE HAS BEEN SOLD

You can see the template HERE (http://www.dzyntech.com/template1/index.html) .

Please start bid at $130.
Will accept cc or Paypal, your choice.
Ends 10 PM Fri July 12 (-500 GMT)

I will require full payment prior to releasing files or making modifications (sorry, I just recently got burned twice here at WHT... I don't like working for free :( )

Any questions, let me know.
Thanks.
Vito

Thanks, guys.

Puggy106, your new site was part of what inspired me to make this design. Great site you have there.

Your new site looks great, but personally I would think you could get alot more than your asking price ... well let us all know how it goes.

Yes, I certainly hope it ends up more than $130. Personally, I think it's worth much more. But I guess I have to start the price somewhere...;)

I have received a few emails asking to see the template for the sub pages. You can see it HERE (http://www.dzyntech.com/template1/index_sub.html) .

Please note that this is only one suggestion for the layout of the sub page. Although the header would basically remain the same, I can modify the page content area as per your preferences.

Vito, I think what would really liven up the template is a background that spans the entire page. So it looks like the tables stretch and it's not just cut off. Know what I mean? I can create a quick example for you if you want ;-) I'm not criticizing; I just really want to see it like that.

I really like the template a lot!!!

Hi Brian:
I assume you mean to stretch out just the header and the footer, right?

It really only is a visible change in resolutions higher than 800*600, as that is the res it was optimized for.

Vito

Thanks, Brian.
Have a peek at my last post. I am showing a link to the same idea. I guess great minds think alike, huh? :D

But thanks. :)

I saw that, but I extended the bottom and made the mid section the same white as the content part. It now works with all resolutions too!

vito
07-11-2002, 10:10 AM
Yes, I see the difference.

When I created the bg image, I intentionally did not extend the bg color of the content section, as I thought that it would make the content look like it was just "hanging" out there. That's why I made it a different color.

So I suppose it will just be up to the customer as to which one is prefered.

But thanks for doing that. Now people can see it both ways! :D

Hmm. A bit of bad timing. My server seems to be on the blink right now. Anyone wh's trying to see the template may or may not get through. I'm trying to correct the problem with my upstream provider.

Edit: Server is back up. Phew! :D :D :D

I have received a bid for the template. In fairness to all who have expressed interest here (and by email/PM), I will post the bid here.

$140 bid was placed by pod.

Bidding ends 10 PM tonight (-500 GMT)
Please post all bids here in the thread. Thank you. :)

With the understanding that some changes can be made which are acceptable to both parties, or the money is refunded, I would like to offer a bid of $150.

Vito, is this a Tableless template; and you show "Server Uptime" in the top right corner. I'm not familiar with how to do that "the way it is shown" nor, do I have a script for it. Was that just a filler or do happen to know how it would be done?

vito

Hi Rob:

Thank you for your bid.

I am pretty easygoing. I'm sure I will be able to make modifications to your satisfaction.

No, this is not a tableless template. For purposes of displaying the design in the auction, I left the entire file as one image. Once I make all the necessary modifications for you, I would then slice it up and create the tables as required. It just seems counterproductive to do that until I know what the end result will end up as.

Regarding the server uptime in the top right corner, that was only a suggestion. It can be anything you like. This template comes with all images and HTML files as they relate to the design only. Any script or coding specs for things like domain name registration, help desk login or server uptime would have to be provided by you. :) Of course, if you have the coding at the ready, I am happy to insert them into the HTML of the page for final delivery to you.

Vito, I've noticed the image block where the Ladie's face is, is quite pixelated at the mid to bottom. Am I correct in assuming that will smoothed out in the final draft?

BrianF
07-12-2002, 05:00 PM
Rob,
I believe the pixelation is apart of the design, and not an error in the image.

Brian

Rob:
Brian is quite right. The image has a cross-hatch gradient fill. That was by design. But it could certainly be changed to something you prefer. :)

I just received an email from one of the bidders wanting to confirm the actual time that the auction ends. To that bidder, I would have simply replied to your email, but earlier when I tried to email you, the email bounced. Perhaps I had the wrong email address. So I thought I'd better just post the answer here.

I am located in Toronto, Canada. It is now 6:15 PM Eastern Standard Time (-500 GMT). The auction ends in 3 hours and 45 minutes.

BTW, to the bidder who emailed me, (I won't mention your name), could you please PM me with your correct email address? I will obviously need it in the event you're the successful bidder.

Thanks.

OK, folks. Fair warning, there's a little over 30 minutes left to submit a bid...

Good luck to the bidders.

I have emailed you for details on the customization of the template.
