Gary Simon - I just fucking realized that I've been following your work for quite sometime now. Never even knew you was a part of WF. Love your site man - but you need to start posting more often ;P
 
Gary, that looks sick.

Lots of really sweet designs in here. As Jon said, if you guys want to do a refresh for the whole layout, we'll definitely throw it up.
 
^Thanks..

Quite a bit of work has to go into designing a custom VB skin.. All of the buttons, icons, xhtml/css, and the hardest part of all, vb4 integration (their skinning system is an absolute nightmare to work with)..

I'd have no problem throwing up a concept for a home page, since if it isn't chosen, not much time would have been lost. But I definitely wouldn't want to take on the task of coding + icon design + integration unless there was more in it aside from $50.

That's just me though ;P

Kind of what I was thinking. I'm totally willing to do a concept of the home page, but not going to go through the process of building an entire skin. Not sure if that would be wasted effort though. Would you guys have someone build a new skin if you saw something you liked conceptually? I don't want to waste my time on something if there is zero chance that it will get built.

Yeah, first you have the cost of xhtml/css'ing the design, which I personally charge $200 for if it's just a home page..

Then at minimum it's usually around $500 for a custom vb4 xhtml/css skin integration (a good skinner, that is.. you'll find newbs charging a lot less I'm sure). It would be quite a bit more though if the skin has features unique to WF integrated, or at least unique outside of the default VB4 system. The more complex a skin is (or rather, the more it strays from the default skin), the more the integration costs.

Then custom icon design if that's a need be.

I just got carried away with mine, as it stands all I'm throwing into this contest is my header if it stays at 50 bucks.
 
my suggestion is that it's gotta have a concealed penis somewhere in the header, seen only upon further inspection

Second that.


I want you to know, the following is your fault. You put the idea in my head, and I just couldn't resist.... lol....

Idea + Gay Webmaster Forum = You'll never look at this movie the same way again....
