dseldon needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 110 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Get 2 Links To Your Site From My Sites (Google PR 3 & PR 4 - over 50,000 visitors / month)
Browse around the site and you'll see that the homepage is a blank slate, the site deals with very big ideas and issues, and it needs design help! The new design needs to project simplicity, seriousness and credibility. Anything the least bit cheesy is a no-no. Everything from graphics to the fonts and all of it needs to project calmness, confidence.
We have no preconceptions about how the re-designed site will or should look, aside from the comments above. As long as the new design adheres to "what I want / don't want", all ideas are welcome.
The winning designer will get 2 links back to their website, one from http://cosmicfingerprints.com which has a Google Page Rank 3 and an additional link from the owners main site, which has Google Page Rank 4. The traffic obtained by these two sites is consistently well in excess of 50,000 unique visitors each month.

- CHANGED - Existing "navigation" (the very small links at the bottom of the homepage) appear at the bottom of the page primarily to encourage site visitors to sign up to the email list - however in the revised site design this is not required - designers are free to modify the placement / size of the navigation links as they see fit. CHANGE - Designers are encouraged to place the navigation links either at the top area of the design, or on the left side.
