Employer Feedback

“Tarak, my contest winner, must be some sort of mind reader because his very first home page design mockup was amazing, excellent, exactly what I wanted, and was so good, I could give it straight to a website designer and say, "Make it this way." Tarak totally 'nailed' it! Then he went on to submit many more versions, one even better than the next. This guy really knows what he's doing. He is a friendly and personable 5 star communicator and leaves nothing to question. He had good suggestions and was always ready and willing to make any changes I desired, even post-contest (after he'd already been paid). He was devoted to making me happy from beginning to end. As an employer I could not have asked for more. I hope it is I who is up to par and that Tarak will let me hire him again and will agree to do more work for me. I could say much more but I'll leave you with this - If you've come across Tarak, you've discovered a gem! ”

      Hi edbryan - A winner can be chosen at any time by the CH. My apologies for ending the contest early. I ran a long contest (it costs no extra) because the last time I ran a 1-week contest and wanted to extend it, Freelancer wanted a lot of money to extend it (maybe $75? I forget), but they would only extend for 3 days. That contest was not guaranteed, I didn't want to pay the extra for only 3 days more, and I did not choose a winner. We all lost. If you have a design, Is there a way I can see it? Thanks. ...Steve

    Hello Dedicated Designers,
    I didn't expect the contest to end so early. But as you may know by now I've chosen tarakbr (Tarak Brahmi) as the winner for the Home Page Website Design Mockup Contest.
    I'm writing to thank everyone for your entries. I enjoyed looking at and considering all of them. I very much appreciate the time and effort you all devoted in creating your designs. I actually feel honored that you chose to participate.
    If you're interested, the winning design can be seen at http://www.tradewindscarrental.com/. I got exactly what I was looking for and I am very pleased with it.
    I'm always looking for ways to improve. So if you feel as though you'd like to make any comments (positive or negative) about the contest, the winning design, or even about me as the contest holder, I'm all ears.
    Best Regards, ...Steve

    Hello Freelancers,
    As far as I can see right now, it appears I have decided on a clear winner, even though I have not formally clicked the "Award Prize" button just yet. So for the time being, and not to take up anyone's valuable time, please hold off on designing any more entries. However, if you have a design ready to submit anyway and want to submit, I would certainly like to see your work for future reference. I'm sure freelancer will notify when I have firmed up the design modification details, clicked the "Award Prize" button, and paid the winner.
    Thanks everyone! ...Steve

      Hello rishiambwani - I'm about 99.9% sure on who the winner is even though I have not formally clicked the "Award Prize" button just yet. I'm waiting on his design changes. If everything goes as expected, then I will select him as the winner. Thanks for the HTML design offer, but I already have the website designer. The site will be designed in WordPress Responsive with CMS. Thanks. ...Steve

    Sorry, I need to add some things...
    1. TEXT AREA: 500 words minimum - There should be enough area/space in the body to have at least 500 words of text (but it doesn't have to all be in the same section).
    2. BODY WIDTH: about 1024 pixels - The initial width of the body when it is seen on a PC should be around 1024 pixels (that way more content can be seen "above the fold" and people won't have to scroll down). Is that possible?
    3. FINAL FORMAT: PSD - The winner will need to present the final design in PSD format so HTML can be created and converted to WordPress. The WordPress creator will need to be able to convert your design into a grid system which will allow it to become a "responsive" website. Please design accordingly.

    The file name for cars.psd was supposed to be car.psd. Both names have now been uploaded. Both files are exactly the same.

    Hello Designers,
    The contest is now sealed (since most of you always request it).
    In case anyone is having trouble with the file download inks in the Word document, hold Ctrl button down on your keyboard and then click the image link. It should then open in your browser. Otherwise, the link URL's are all listed below.
    Thanks for participating. I'm looking forward to seeing and commenting on your designs.
