Ok here’s our contest. Hopefully we get a lot of good entries. We have just created a new layout for our company website (WWW.AFTEREFX.COM) and would like to add some flash animation to it as well as a flash intro page. We don’t want it to be extremely big in size. Also, we would like the flash intro page to have an option to skip the intro and go straight to the website, as well as a status bar when it’s loading.
Use your imagination, and make it however you like. Here’s what I was thinking… If you want to use it go ahead. If not, that’s fine also…
Flash Intro Page = Have our logo and feel free to use the following phrases somehow:
“Do you own your own business?”
“What if you could have your business accessible to thousands of potential customers?”
“Why settle for less when you can get the best?”
“With customer satisfaction as our number one goal, we guarantee quality.”
“At AfterEfx, Inc. we strive for excellence.”
“No other web design firm will give you the quality that we offer at such a low price.”
Main Page = Have the banner animated some how. not sure quite how. Some how make the menu boxes animated. Maybe have them rolldown on mouse rollover or something, as well as the links in the Navigation menu.
This contest will be for either $130.00 or 1 year of hosting, which ever you would like. We are also always looking for independent contractors, so this would be a great way of showing us what you can do. Here are the details as far as the hosting:
2000MB Monthly Transfer
50MB Hard Disk Storage
10 POP3 Email Accounts
Free .com, .net, .org, .info, or .biz domain name
Microsoft FrontPage 2002 extensions fully supported

Unlimited email forwarding to any specified email address
High performance dual-processor Windows 2000 servers
Ultra-fast redundant multi-DS3 Internet connection (multiple T3)

If you are interested, please email me at thernandez@afterefx.com with any questions. Thanks in advance.
well it’s really up to you. I don’t think the entire layout has to be redone, but if you think it would look better a different way, then that would be up to your judgement. Thanks.
Hey guys, his request is definitly acceptable, sorry for the weak welcome dyms! Sounds like a good idea, I am a moderator so I think this would be a battle I’m not able to participate in because if I win users would think it’s unfair for one of the more experienced members to join this. But I’m not sure, if it sounds cool with others then maybe I will see what I can do.
I am interested. I like the Navigation buttons on the left side, I think you should leave them. I would do navigation buttons on the top…onRollovers and the like…
morse: Knock yourself out. Any modifications you want to do, will be welcomed.
dan4885: Thanks for the warm welcome. I for one would like as many people to join in as possible (of course. haha). I don’t think experience should be a limiting factor in the contest. What do you guys think?
I agree with Dan that mods shouldn’t join, but I still think that the mods should submit seperatly if they would like to participate. I know many people here could make an excellent intro, including the mods.
Dan, you want to set a due date, or is this going to be a little different than the usual…?
Oh sorry about that. Actually the due date will be Jan 01, 2003.
How about this. There will be 2 seperate contests. One for the mods and then one for everyone else. The prize will only go to the winner of the regular contest. So if we choose the design that a mod creates, then the prize would go to whomever had the best design out of the regular users. But on our website, we will use the design which we like the best, no matter who made it. Let me know if there’s any objections to that idea.
dyms, I noticed you crossposted this in the AS Contest section… please don’t crosspost. I deleted the other thread since it had no replies anyway. Good luck with this though
Sorry about that. I thought I had posted it already, but I wasn’t sure, and I couldn’t find it. Therefore, I decided to post it again. Anyways, Thanks!
Well I don’t have the time to make something like this for just free, but good luck to the regular members. I will let dyms set a due date and the battle rules. It’s for his site so I would have no clue what to do for a theme, colors, etc.
Well, that’s the beauty of it. Everything is pretty much up to you guys as far as colors, etc. I wish we could use two designs somehow, and then we would have 2 seperate prizes. But I think for now we’ll just go with the 1 prize/1 contest/1 winner. Maybe that’ll be our next contest…
I have to get up early tomorrow for work, so I’ll see you folks later.
