    Hi Luce,
    the coding category has been removed from the design contests for the moment. I think you'll find that the prize on offer doesn't really cover both design and coding (particularly to web standards markup). www.designs.com/help/prizes and you'll see that a one page *design only* template begins at $250.

    To get more designers (particularly the more experienced ones) to participate in your contest, you may need to change this to a design only - also reconsider the prize on offer, and then negotiate with that designer to do the coding as an extra. Many designers here do not code, so you may need to find a coder elsewhere, or look at SitePoints' Looking for Hire forum to find a decent coder if the winning designer can't code the design for you.

    Hi Nadia
    Thanks for your information. I ran a contest when it was Sitepoint a while ago and this was for a coded page at this prize hence this listing. I will amend the contest and say coded would be a bonus and if not I will have to code the template myself. We are hoping to get this live asap so the coded design would have been a fast track to this rather than me having to find the time to code it!

    Hey Luce,
    I can only do design, unfortunately I got a new computer, and lost my dreamweaver liscense somewhere in my mess. If you like my design, we could negociate a discount of some sort, which would compensate for the loss of coding.

    Thank you everyone who has submitted designs so far, we have had some really good entries and it will not be an easy decision. We have a team meeting on Wednesday 16th July where we will make the final decision so I will start eliminating the designs we do not feel fit our brief. But the competition is still open so please feel free to keep submitting.

    Thank you again to everyone who submitted a design and made the many change requests. All the designs were good but I have narrowed it down to the final 6 designs above. As mentioned, we will be deciding on the final design in our team meeting on Wednesday, sorry for the delay but this is the soonest we can get together. It is going to be a tough decision and we will look at each design.
