You will probably have better luck if you post this at yaxay.com, or sitepointforums.com.

Was just wondering... if lets say 5 people make temps for you and you only choose one (which is perfectly fine!), do the others get anything in return for trying?

Just wondering :D

Do they have a section for offers and requests in sitepoint?

You can determine the price of your template yourself.

We need template in just psd format. I think a price limit of about $60-$120 is suitable. (Your opinion? $150 for exceptionally good template ) We can give you a hosting service equal to $90-$150 instead of the money.

Competition will end in 2 weeks.

We can obtain second template design in exchange of hosting service ($80-$130 value).

1. Do you have a logo you want incorporated into the design or do you want a new one designed?

2. Is it possible to see the existing site to get a feel for what type of content goes into the pages?

3. Do you have any color preferences? Light? Dark? Any specific color(s)?

1- We do not have any logo. Site name is MARRYWITHME.COM. A logo will be fine but a simple text logo may do that too.

2- Yes, Light colors will be beeter (It may make people happy :) )

3- Site will use the exact scripts and programs of another website (I will place a copy of that on the website in a few hours).

I have put purchased design and software on MarryWithMe.com website so that you can take a look at it.

phision,

Your design is clear and nice. But I think it is a little simple.

I am not sure how much does it encourage users to try it when they arrive at it.

Wow, vito has done a new and interesting thing.

1- Just quality of those pictures is better in psd file isn't it?

2- Those rings are very good but is it possible to do a little better logo?

3- Can you give an estimate of what we can put on that emty are (at the bottom of the design)

4- Is it possible to attract a little more attention to pictures gallery?

5- Design is very nice overally but it is a little dark? isn't it? (Or may be banners can help later?)

Regards,
Mac

Hi Mac. Glad you like it.

1. Yes, the quality of the images in psd is better.

2. Can you suggest what you would like the logo to look like? What would you like me to change?

3. Given that your marrywithme site has very little content, it is difficult for me to suggest what else could go into the open area at the bottom of the page. I could shorten the page a bit, or you could put in some text, or I could make a more prominent display of the Photo Gallery.

4. See #3 above.

5. The banner areas are presently dark blue. Once you put in actual ads, it won't look as dark.

Wow vito, your work is very good! Both designs are very beautiful! Logo is very better now and that chatroom section is very beautiful too.

I know you have done a lot of work on this until now. Just last changes

1- Is it possible to have a little more emphasis on forums and a link for testimonials?

2- As site is new they will not have enough pictures to place on that photo gallery part. (Your previous graphics for photo gallery was very beautiful).

Just a thought (I am not sure if it is proper, if it is not then disregard it), is it possible to use some part of bottom gallery section (on new design) for advertising forums and testimonials?

Thank you,
Mac

Hi wmac:

I'm pleased you like the changes. At this point, however, you should have a good grasp of what I will be offering you. If you are looking for more changes, I will be happy to provide them, but after the project has been awarded. I'm sure you understand that I cannot offer unlimited modifications prior to being awarded the project. ;)

Vito
