Brief Overview

w3roi provides consolidated conversion tracking for all your online advertising - PPC search marketing, banner ads, e-mails, etc. It is a service, meaning people will sign up for an account and access it through their browser.

Brand Name
w3roi - www.w3roi.com
Target Audience

This service targets two groups: Small ecommerce site owners (people that sell things on a website), and affiliate marketers (people that market other companies' products for a commission on the sales).

Requirements

This is a brand new service, so it is in need of a brand new website. A home page and one interior page (PSDs) are the requirements for this contest, and we may hire the winner for additional pages after the contest (if you're available, this isn't required).

You may submit only a home page to qualify, but with the understanding that an interior page layout would be required before the prize money is turned over.

These are examples of the kind of design I like:

http://www.campaignmonitor.com
http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/ (internal page)
http://www.mailchimp.com
http://litmusapp.com
http://www.goodbarry.com
http://www.crowdscience.com
http://www.freshbooks.com
http://www.clicktale.com

I have a video I'd like to put on the home page (http://www.w3roi.com), but use the example sites as a guideline, there doesn't need to be an explicit place for the video to sit, screenshots with a "play" arrow graphic overlaid works great. It can also be resized to fit any design.

You can find the site's logo files and screenshots here:
http://www.dangrossman.info/w3roi/

I like the designs that integrate one or more screenshots, so I've provided several that may be used.

The design of the site does not need to match the header of the application itself. In fact, I'd prefer they don't. Too much grey is boring!

I provided logos in several colors, white on a dark background or colored (the gray/red/blue design) on a light background are equally OK with me.

The top navigation should have room for: Features, Pricing, Learning Center, Affiliates, Blog, Sign Up, Log In

Here are some simple layout mockups:

I just threw in some sample text, but I have tons of features I can talk about so there doesn't need to be exactly 4 text slots or anything like that. Lorum ipsum filler text is fine to fill areas feature descriptions would go since I can't provide final text yet.

The design should target 1024x768 browsers and up.

Please feel free to ask questions. I expect to guarantee the contest once there are enough entries.
