  • What SEO Company are you in? nice strategy… ??

    Sounds like fun! Great way of marketing too, not to mention a great way to get a custom design on the cheap!

    If they had a contest that didn’t require such a wide fixed width, I might enter! Probably lose though, there are so many talented themers out there.

    Can I enter someone elses theme?

    pkenjora,

    I do not think that someone else will be happy if you use his/her theme for the contest ??

    RoseCitySister,

    What is the matter with the width? Why does it prevent you from entering the contest?

    2 chaoskaizer,

    We just wanted to kill two birds with one stone ??

    One of my pet peeves, is all. I don’t like wide fixed widths – I never design a fixed width wider than 750px. Otherwise, with a smaller screen you get a sizeable horizontal scroll. Some people still use the smaller monitors, and laptops often have a much smaller screen.

    Like I said though, I probably would have no chance against the many, many talented artists the community has. But it would still be fun – maybe I’ll enter a liquid 3-column design and see if it changes your mind? ??

    The OP offers pre-made site templates on their site and if you want modified them… the price is around $300.

    And now they want a custom coded WP theme for $500. I think the real price starts at 3 or 4 times that amount ??

    just my $0.02

    moshu,

    As you could notice, Flashmint offers custom design services either. Therefore, this is not a problem for us to design the theme for our blog ourselves. The purpose of this contest is not to get a design for 3 or 4 times cheaper that it should, but to have fun and enliven design community.
