GANGTRADING
*WHO ARE WE
We are a group of entrepreneurs about to launch a web 2.0 startup, after first round of funding by business angels.
*OUR CONCEPT:
Our site and facebook application were created for online traders of stocks and commodities: people that buy and sell stocks and commodities online.
We have setup a Facebook app, where traders can group and declare their trading movements to let other people know what they are trading.
Projects works involve the creation of two sets of buttons (summurized, see details hereafter):
1) Action buttons for the Facebook app:
On the facebook app, these are the buttons that users will use to "click" and declare their trading movements (buy, sell, exit) .
2) Incentive buttons on the website:
On web site, we have 2 buttons used to prompt our visitors to install and try our application.
YOU CAN SEE APPENDED SCREENSHOTS OF THE FACEBOOK APP AND OF THE WEBSITE (MOCKUPS) TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT WE NEED.
Our target are individual day traders: people who buy and sell all kind of stocks and commodities online throughout the day and use social network Facebook.
Images must be delivered in layered PSD and JPG.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND READ ATTACHED "gang-buttons.doc" FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS NOT LONG BUT COULDN'T FIT HERE. THANKS.
UPDATES: (please read the doc first, these are ideas for after you read the doc):
Here are some ideas to distinguish idle A) and B) button from their "ON" rollover versions A bis) and B bis):
- Idle: drop shadow / ON: no drop shadow.
- ON: button text, changed: glowing, of another color
- Idle: tall; 3d button / ON: smaller 3d button, as if it was sunken.
