Okay, this is a difficult post to do since we had soo many great designs that we liked a lot. It was interesting the amount of feedback we got and how it varied when showing friends and colleagues.

First we narrowed it down to the top 5 which were Nadia P, oz, bharce16, V1, and strikers82. All 5 of these people had great designs.

Then after feedback from people and our internal conversations, we narrowed it down to three people: Nadia P, oz, and bharce16. All three of these designs had something we liked.

Lastly, we chose oz as the winner. We really liked the design aspects and colors he/she used. We still need a few things tweaked, but feel this is what we want for our homepage.

There is a small possibility that we will buy another design from Nadia or bharce16 in the future to do some A/B testing when we launch to see which works best with actual users. So, please keep them handy.

I want to thank everyone who entered. Everyone is immensely talented. The product, Clever Tools, is a project management solution dedicated to freelancers and small business. I think everyone here could find it useful. It will offer the ability to track time, collaborate with clients and other users, manage tasks/milestones, upload files and track revisions, and other tools. I would like to offer 3 months free to any designer who entered as a thank you (up to a $300 value). Clever Tools will also free accounts to anyone, but I would like to give anyone who entered and is interested, a coupon for 3 months free off ANY paid account. If you are interested, please PM me.

Still discussing with my business partners and investor. I haven't forgotten. We will be picking a winner soon!

Okay I just got back from my trip and will be mulling over and trying to pick a winner in a timely manner. it is going to be hard with soo many great entries!

@ reidknorr - Sure! I welcome it

Hey all, I have been gone for a day traveling to see my sister graduate college. I will respond to all new entries as soon as I can.

@ web1seo

Me too! It has taken longer that we have liked as we really made MAJOR improvements and pretty much started over. It has been worth it though.

@Zippy and your point is? :)

okay I think all the feedback should be given

Not quite done commenting... will do that when I get back.

Also, keep the designs coming ;)

Okay I am going to go through and start eliminating and also commenting on the new ones. Please be patient as it might take awhile

commit = comment above. Sorry.
