New Website Design, Contest Approaches!
Posted on March 4th, 2008 by Jim under AnnouncementsAs you should have noticed by now, there is a new design in town :). I have been developing this new website layout over the past two weeks, and it is finally ready to be released to the public!
This design has really come a long way. I hired a freelancer designer (”Pinky” from getafreelancer.com) to do the header work. He did this for $60, which was pretty fair. I basically cannot draw freehand to save my life, but I did all of the logo and the navigation bar myself, as well as all of the other graphics that you see on this website. $60 ain’t bad for the drawing alone, but hey… the amount of work I put in on top of that makes the monetary value a lot higher!
To go with this $60 drawing, I purchased a template made famous by John Cow (no, not Chow) and again… modified the heck out of it :D. Regardless, it was nice to have something solid to base my work off of. After affording this $100 sunk cost… I figured, hey, why not get me a nice sales program while I’m at it. So naturally, I sprung for the classy but thrifty OIO Publisher (which I will review later) which allows me to handle all the ads you see on this website automatically via PayPal! Ad spots are going fast and are still dirt cheap, so navigate over to our advertising tab to get your spot secured up now.
I have planned out a contest set to launch within 24 hours. More details on that later, but lets just say I have a few big prizes to give out totaling about $100 that will definitely help a lot of you out. This will be focused on gaining subscribers, as is the primary interest for the month of March. Stay tuned for more updates, and please leave me some good feedback in the form of comments if you like what you see.
