A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
TAX911.CA
We have people telling us that our website is very bad. It stops people from calling us. Several clients said the same thing. We need a rescuer.
Just check out our website and you will see what we are talking about.
We provide urgent tax services; such as late taxes, tax owing, etc.
Through our website, we want people feel: corporate image, professional, intense, urgency, power, concerned, documentary feel, little bit of conservatism, etc.
People with tax problems such as late filing, unreported income, audited, tax debt owing, etc. They are frightened with tax man who may take serious action against them. (30 to 65 year old male and female)
Two pages are needed (Home page and Other page):
For Home page:
a. We need three or plus columns design.
b. The following 5 groups headings with around 50 words content each should show on home page:
-Who are we?
-Why us?
-Services.
-How it works?
-Action to take
c. We need all the leading edge stuff in the web: ie Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
d. It will be cool to have live tax news feed rolling on screen somewhere.
For other page: we need three or plus columns design with similar color tone to home page. The mood should be more neutral. Not as intense as Home Page.
We prefer sleek design, Clean & professional to both pages.
Color theme: no limit. Just strikingly impressive and business professional.
Please feel free to make it look GOOD. Really GOOD. After all you are a visual artist.

What we do not like:
-The color combo looks unattractive. Too dark.
-The layout is way outdated
-The grouping of content is tiresome to read at home page.
-Does not feel sleek.
- No leading edge stuff: Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, live feed, blog, etc.
What we like:
- The contents are good.
- The SEO is decent.
- It is done by WYSIWYG software and can be upgraded easily. BIG BONUS. We prefer to be easily modified later for content.
IMPORTANT Update:
Please be creative and be artistic as what we got so far looks boring in general. All look like direct copy of the commercial copies we gave in the examples. Need more pictures. (please use watermarked photos for now. We can buy the photos you choose later)
To not limit the creativity of the designer, we have to remove the examples.
Some visual clues of what we like. (removed some from initial notes)
i. Photo example - removed to give more freedom to designers.
