Brief Summary

We're in the process of creating a new online dating landing page. We plan on creating this landing page to convince the visitors to click the call to action (free sign up button etc) to continue on to the real dating site, to sign up. We need a high quality design that appeals to our target audience - Males and Females, ages 35+ from the United Kingdom, looking to meet someone online .

Brand Name
Free UK Online Dating - DATEUKSINGLES.COM - Design and Code
Description

As mentioned in the project summary, we're building a UK Online Dating Landing Page . We're looking to create a call to action page, which gets the user to click through to the actual site to sign up. So the visitor should be sold on the idea of signing up, as soon as they see this page.  This contest is for design and coding of the site.

Design Style:
We need a site that uses the same colors and overall look that http://www.datingdirect.com/signup/landing_g.php? does. This is the site that the landing page will send users to. It needs to be different enough that it doesn't copy that site, but the user should not feel that they have been directed to a different site once they get there.

All contest entrants should should create both a home page design and one sub page design. Sub pages will be: Contact Us, Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Site Map and Resources.

Contest Notes:
We will give feedback to all entries with 4 and 5 star ratings. We are not interested in entries that we rate with 3 stars or less.

Stock Photos:
We recommend that all contestants use iStockPhoto or a similar service for the site images. Please use the comp images in your design submissions.

Questions/Comments:
If you have any questions or feedback for us please leave a comment in the discussion thread. We will be checking this on a regular basis while the contest is happening.

Good luck on the contest. We look forward to seeing your work!

Future Opportunities:
Even if you don't win this contest we are still interested in quality designers for future projects. We will exchange contact information with 4 and 5 star entrants for the potential to work on future projects.
