Hi. I've read your brief. Since you are a newbie to web design or building websites in general, I am going to give you some advice. If you do not plan to hire a web coder (trust me they are much more expensive than $250), you should cancel this contest and restart it later until you are fully sure of what you are doing.

I have 3 advice to give:
1. Install Wordpress and browse its features and 1000s of free templates or paid templates. They have nice plugins such as adding custom shopping carts with various designs and etc. If you decide to go through with this contest please note that you need to hire a Wordpress developer to code the DesignCrowd winning design, Wordpress has no website builder.

2. Go to www.squarespace.com and try their website builder for free (Which is way superior than GoDaddy) and familiarze with what you can and what you can't do with a website builder.

3. Go through with your contest and hire a web developer.

Please note option 1 with DesignCrowd winning design and option 3 will cost you more than $250, and will probably cost you hundreds more if not thousands of dollars.

Hello
Thanks for the invite.
please clarify the scope of work as this is design competition / contest.
please confirm this is for homepage psd design only as per current budget & not full site built + coded
thanks

Ok I rewrote my brief. Maybe I did it wrong. Thanks for answering my questions and giving me advice. Does it sound better now? I already committed the payment, and I really need help so I am going to go ahead. Anything else?

How many pages do you want to squeeze this?

Can I add pages later? Or do they all need tp be there now. My website now has 11 but most are links and I want to consolidate somehow so I am not sure yet. I am thinking in my brief, I put the main pages.
