Brief Summary

We are launching a new company focused around social media offerings, and we decided, what better way to come up with our design than using a great Social Media site like 99designs. We are also offering to give some press around our launch and how our design came about, and highlight the winner (giving full credit) in our launch press materials.

  1. Hi, can you give us an example of a site's design that you admire for inspiration?

    The brief is really abstract in that term. I don't want to waste time making something that may go the opposite way of your desired design direction.

    Thank you!

  2. Hi!

    Thanks for the email! :)

    I've dug around and found three sites that I think really feel like it could appeal to the audience we'll be trying to attract. I know these are "brownish" in tones, but I believe these are more the "Feel" we like. "Piecey", put together. Two are church sites, relgious .. but that's neither here nor there, their designs are very appealing. The other one is rather elegant. Maybe a mix of the two. We're really trying to leave the canvas open, but this probably will give you some direction.

    Thanks again for taking the time to email us!

  3. Hello :)

    From what I could understand, you like vintage/rustic look and a more natural look than a computerized one. The pictures are also what seems to stand out in those web pages.

    I'll try to cook something up for you!

  4. Would you just like a design in photoshop, or do you need the development and coding too?

  5. You want a full website design for $400.00? Minimum prize for one page is $250.00. Full website is alot of work. Too much work for $400.00. Good luck.

  6. Hi Nate -
    essentially we'd like the photoshop design, that's what we're looking for. Sorry if the impression from Createbit's comment makes it seem that way. Just a photoshop concept art is what we're looking for now.

    It might be good to let us know as well if you can provide the development/coding end of things to as we may look to use outside resources to help manage that.

    Createabit - we are looking for a photoshop concept/art/design for the site, not the coding as well.

  7. Which CMS will you be using for your blog? An idea of the main site page titles for navigation would help as designs vary slightly according to the size of the site and the functions that need to be included such as LogIn, Contact Form etc. Page outlines - a brief description of the page - help the designer get into your head a bit better. Don't know about the others but I need a bit more to go on. Thanks.

  8. Web-bod,
    We'd most likely be using WordPress - we could however change that according to what it's designed for (i.e. Typepad or maybe even Drupal), however WordPress would be our first choice.

    Here's a few of the page that we are looking to have:
    Who We Are: Purpose – Defining the team that makes up Social Conversations
    Community Building: Purpose – Defining services in which we create strategies for clients to create or participate communities

    Blogs & Blogging: Purpose – Defining services that plan blog strategies

    Vodcasts & Podcasts: Purpose – Defining services that plan strategies for clients utilizing video and / or podcasting.

    Video & Photography: Purpose - Defining services that enable Social Conversations team to shoot, produce, edit video and photos for clients.

    Social Media: Purpose – Defining services in Social Media including Social News, Social Sharing , Forums & Message Boards, web 2.0 services such as Twitter, Friend Feed, etc.

    PR for the Web: Purpose – Defining strategies for bringing offline public relations campaigns online.

    Reputation Management: Purpose – Defining strategies to monitor and respond (if necessary) to Reputation Management issues on the internet.

    Social Media Releases: Purpose – Defining strategies for creating social media releases for clients.

    Word of Mouth: Purpose – Defining strategies around word of mouth campaigns for the web.

    Our Tools: Purpose – Introduce our tools and how they benefit the clients strategies.

    Contact: Purpose – Allow visitors to contact the Social Conversations team (this will need a thank you page).

    Social Conversations’ Blog: Purpose – Company owned blog where team members can blog about industry relevant topics and news.

    Thanks for requesting clarification. This is our first time attempting this, so we weren't sure what we'd need to provide.

  16. Hi all - just waiting to see if there's any further entries (2+ hours to go at this posting) to be fair to the others that said they were going to submit entries. Since this is our first time, we're not sure if that's a reliable thing to do, but we wanted to be fair to those who left comments about entering designs on our contest.

    These are awesome designs - you all really rock! :)
