for the contest Website template for silk screen printing, embroidery, etc.
Submitted design #28
Not sure if you want all that I have in the design on the front page - but thought I'd give it a go :)
Regarding design #28
PS Forgot to mention - all the images would need to be replaced with your own images. I've 'borrowed' the images - which I normally never do, but the photo sites didn't have many 'printed t-shirts' etc.,

Thanks Nadia. It's a very nice work. I liked the background effect and what you did in the welcome section.
May be a few things, there won't be any online commerce here, neither there will be free stuffs ... I was wondering what you can insert here ... there won't be any testimonials either ... hmmm ... in case you don't get a better idea, I was thinking may be we can have a block of text there ... more text = better SEO.
Apart from that, I liked the logo section, the way you put two pages together ... but the bevelled stuff of the top is disturbing me a bit. What about removing the bevelled stuff of the top and have their something like a paper clip. Just a thought.
Coming to the body of the template, with the blue background, I have seen your other designs, and I think you can improve that.
So, if you keep the main background, the top menu, the welcome section, the left menu, and the logo section (with some changes), and tweak a bit the rest ... what say?
One idea could be, keep the said things as they are, reverse the logo section (logo in white and back in blue with shade like prospekt has done for his background, say with a paper clip), main body in white with some nice effects (I don't know what) with the product display there as they are now, and remove the free and online payment icons and put a block of text there with the same background effect as the welcome section.
I leave you to keep your mind open. I have seen that you are a good designer and probably have better idea than what I just told you. :)
thanks again for your interest in the contest.

PS. No probs for the photos ... the lower row will anyway be dynamic only (fetched with php) and I'll change the upper row as well since you are telling.

I'll read your comments a bit fully again, but I can try some other ideas.... Not sure about a paperclip but I"ll see. I agree, more text - definitely better for SEO.
I must have misunderstood one of you comments somewhere - I thought you mentioned that the Nos produits was going to be an ecom section. I'll work on it more tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback and nice comments :)
Regarding design #28
hi Nadia, you are right, the 'nos produits' section is going to be 'like' an ecom section 'without the selling, for display only' ... probably I was not clear, forgot where I wrote that. Sorry about that if that was the case. Also, if you think that some ideas may not work (like the paper clips one), don't waste time on that, trust your own experience and propose me what 'you' feel good. I think good designs are universal more or less, so ...

Had a bit of a play around and came up with a paperclip version with a bit of a different look in the content area. I've kept the blue background, but your images from the database should fit nicely into the bottom box regardless of whether they have background colors. I'm a coder as well, so I do try and make sure that my designs are easy enough to translate into a coded template :-)

:-) just to give you another option. With the shadow removed from the top of the log box it doesn't look too bad leaving in the white box - makes it stand out from the rest of the page.
Regarding design #31
yeah, I think this is the best submission I got till now. Thanks for that. And unless you come up with different bright ideas, I don't know what to tell ... in design ideas I am zero. Are you a coder as well? Do you have any website / blog with your portfolio / rate, etc?
Regarding design #32
hmmm ... it seems that it's looking better without those paper clips ...
Regarding design #31
nadia, since this paper clip version is not looking as good compared to the other one, I am greying this out. thanks.
