Needed... Get up to $300...

[admin]

I know there is some really good designers here and would like to offer this to any reseller here..

We need to get a full set of banners made up for http://www.matrixreseller.com

Need 3 468x60, 2 88x31, 2 120x60, 2 120x100, 1 120x600, 125x125

We just need basic info about our plans in the banner and our name other then that we are very open..

Some thing that really gets the eye is what i am looking for.. But it must look very very good.


We would like some thing along the lines of this kind of banner or better..

http://www.hostingchat.net/images/whzone2.gif


What you would get for the banners.. 3 months free on any plan you like. This offer is also open to anyone not hosting with us as well and just stoping by.. So for some really kick butt banners we will pay up to $300 in hostings. Thats 3 months on our highest plan.


Now for the next offer.. :)

We need a coder for this offer.. We want a very simple script made easy to mange and layed out very well. What we need and want it to do is to ping, http each of our servers and disply a status on our server page.. It needs to dispaly all info on that page now but work in a status link that can pop up a new window and show the status of the server.

The link could be a button that changes from red when down and to green when up. This would be much better then just a link.

I will make the same offer for this as above..

What you would get for the script.. 3 months free on any plan you like. This offer is also open to anyone not hosting with us as well and just stoping by.. So for a really kick butt script we will pay up to $300 in hostings. Thats 3 months on our highest plan.


Any feedback on how the status page could work better i am open to.. For the banner please make 1 sample banner and uploade it here to see if we like your work before going all out.. :)

[resellme]

Can the script be in ASP?

Also instead of going for 3 months at $100 any posibility of getting $300 worth of our current plan? :D

[admin]

No needs to be php as we run all our sites from our FreeBSD box..

Yea i could do $300 on any plan not a problem.. :)

[another_one]

Dear Brad (!!),

We could do both of your requirements. The 'Banners' stuff, and the 'Server Status' script.

But my question is if we could do the both, will you adjust my account with 600 (300+300) dollers.

Can we add some more features in the status script to make it better?

Please contact me with all the details of both the projects, at contact@<hidden> now.

We are eagerly waiting here...


Thank you...

[admin]

We would credit the account $600 no problem.. As for the banners I would need to have it posted here as i would like to pick the best one to go with..

As for the script if you can do the full script then that would be fine as long as it gets done right we will issuse the credit once done.. :)

[another_one]

Dear Brad,

As for your requirement, we will post our work of banners in this thread soon. Then you can choose the best one.

Now, my question is, how should we get started to code the scripting requirements. Can we code according to our features, and then knock you about it? Or something else in your mind.

Please let me know...

[admin]

Well let me look around at some other status scripts and see if i can put a list together of some things it would need.

[another_one]

Let me know, what features/topics should we put on the demo banners. Like 'Unlimited Domains', 'H-Sphere', 'Perl/PHP/ASP/CF' etc etc. Please send all the features to be included in the banners.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Let me know when you are ready with your 'Server Status' script's requirements.

You can notify me at contact@<hidden> always.

Thank you...

[another_one]

Dear Brad,

Here is just a demo banner I have created for your requirement.

Just look at it. If you have any question, please mail me at contact@<hidden> now.

I am working with your 'Server Status' script right now too. So if you can suggest anything for it, it will be appreciated.

Come on guys i know there is some great designers on this forum.....

[smo]

Perhaps you could be a little more specific in what you want so that we can be sure to be on the same level. I always ask my clients a few general questions before designing anything.

ie..

1. Do you have any color preferences? (Neutral, Bold, Greyscale, or specific color scheme)

2. Do you have a logo you want included? If so, where can I find a copy of the one you want used?

3. Style Preference - Artsy? Playful? Technical? Sophisticated?

4. Target Audience? Will these creations be used primarily on your site or will they be distributable amongst others? (This will determine background factors.)

You have covered then ones I normally ask about size and the example is great. Do you want completely different designs for the different sizes or just resizings or similar renderings?

1. Do you have any color preferences? (Neutral, Bold, Greyscale, or specific color scheme)

A:Some thing that goes with the color of the main site would be great.


2. Do you have a logo you want included? If so, where can I find a copy of the one you want used?

vMain site or i can send you the PSD of the site so that you can use some parts of that to come up with great banners.


3. Style Preference - Artsy? Playful? Technical? Sophisticated?

A:Technical

4. Target Audience? Will these creations be used primarily on your site or will they be distributable amongst others? (This will determine background factors.)

A:We do a lot of Targeted ad's to just resellers and other places.


You have covered then ones I normally ask about size and the example is great. Do you want completely different designs for the different sizes or just resizings or similar renderings?

Just resizing the deign and making it look right in the other size is fine with me so one design but all sizes. :)

[another_one]

Dear Brad,

What about my post and banner in the previous page of this thread.

What about the 'Server Status' script's features that you are going to finalize.

I am waiting for your features, as I am making the script for you.

Waiting for your reply.

[ramjet]

[admin]

Needs to be gif..


another_one, As far as the banner it looks ok, i am just waiting to see what ever one else has first.. :)

[resellme]

[admin]

[Scroller]

[admin]

I am going to give every one till Friday 9/27/02 to come up with there best thing.. Right now yours looks very good.. :) But want to make sure there is nothing better out there... ;)

[another_one]

Dear Brad,

As I just receievd your PSD file last night, I am asking you to just wait and see what we can do, before September 27 deadline.

Though, till now, somebody (!!) did a better work with your hosting plans, but who knows someone else could do the best for you??

Just wait and see...

[ramjet]

hi Brad, PSD please. (what the heck does that stand for?)
Also, any more details on your script, or is that all it needs to do?
thanks, murray

[another_one]

Hi Brad,

According to our promise, I have uploaded 4 banners (468x60) for the 4 different plans. If you wish, we can create more styles or themes, and various other sizes.

You can check out the banners at http://docs.w2n.net/matrix/index.ephp now.

All the 4 banners were designed to meet the common guidelines of maximum 8 seconds of animation and maximum 14 KB of file size. All of those are well optimized for your use, too.

As you have send the 'MatrixWebHosting' PSD to me, I have done with this. If you need the name 'MatrixReseller' in the banners, please send that PSD by email.

Thank you, and waiting for the positive feedback from your side.

Note## What about the status of the 'Server Status' script. We have done it already for you. Please send me any details about the probable features that you have gathered.

[admin]

another_one,

Your trying to make this hard on me.. hehe


very nice as well.. :)


As for the server status i am still looking around abit..

[another_one]

Hi there,

Thanks for looking at our work.

How are they?? Are they OK?

And what about the redesign of Vortech??

We have designed and developed near about 200 websites till the date, since 1996. These sites include some very well-known sites and portals out there.

You may give a chance to us to revamped your Vortech site soon.

If you are feeling interested, we can talk together then.

As our developmental office is located at South-East Asia, our rates are damn cheap. So at a fraction of cost, you can get a whole new site design for VortechHosting.

Thank you, and looking forward from you.

[Scroller]

hi again,

just added another range to the banners ... pls take a look ..

http://www.8ob.com/matrix.htm

if you decide to use my banners, it will be good if you can send me the PSD for matrixreseller logo so that I can re-do all of them. Had a hard time cleaning up the logo captured from the website, and I think it can be improved.

And, let me know when you guys wanna do the Vortech revamp. I can send you some links of my work.
:cool:

Hi AnotherOne,

which part of SE Asia are you guys located? We're in Singapore. :D

[another_one]

Our Developmental office is located in INDIA.

What do you do in Singapore? I mean what is the business are you doing?

[Scroller]

no surprise ... every software house in India claims that they're "damn cheap". :eek:
with that kind of prices ... it's seriously hard to beat.

and this is what we do ... http://www.episode12.com/

[admin]

Scroller, that 2nd set looks really cool as well.. :) If you win you would not want to do 2 sets of them would you.. ;)

[Scroller]

not a problem at all. In fact, I think I should be able to mix and match both the design in different sizes. Maybe like 6-8 pieces of 468x60, 2-4 pieces each of for the rest of the sizes, I'm flexible with that. just let me know what you need.
tks! :D

[another_one]

Hi Brad,

Please review our work at http://docs.w2n.net/matrix/ and tell how the banners are.

I have also send a proposal (regarding Vortech Redesigning) in your email. Have you got that mail

Looking for your reply here, and in my mailbox.

Thank you.

[admin]

another_one, Yours are good as well.. :) May end up with 2 winners here.. :)

But can you change it from matrixwebhosting.com to matrixreseller.com as thats our main domain.

[another_one]

It is a matter of seconds, to change the title 'MatrixWebHosting' to MatrixReseller.com, in all of our banners.

But you have send me the PSD of 'MatrixWebHosting' some days ago. If you can mail me the PSD of 'MatrixReseller.com' with its logo, I can do it for you instantly.

And, what about the proposal of Vortech redesigning, have you got it, read it, and forgor it, or you have ignored it?? Let me know.

Waiting again...

Once you have the banner sets done please email them to me @<hidden> brad@<hidden> with your Main Reseller User name and i will add the $300 credit to your accounts..

[ramjet]

thank you, i am - barely.
look Brad, i don't expect immediate solutions, just the occasional reply so i know whats going on.
I'd also rather be discussing this by t/t or (preferably) phone, or at least in the customers only forum rather than in chit-chat.
A talk is needed, and i'm up at 4am for a reason.

[another_one]

I have just received the PSD of MatrixReseller logo. I will start to make the rest of the banners tomorrow.

How many sizes and numbers do you require for the entire set of banners, please email me the details at contact@<hidden> now.

Thank you again,

[another_one]

Thanks Brad,

Thanks for the banner's size list.

As I have just received your PSD, it is late at night here. So I start to making all the banners from tomorrow onwards.

I will soon upload the banners of us, and notify you then.


What about the Vortech redesign mail from me? I have mailed you the brief flash portfolios of us also. Let me know.


And what about the 'Server Status' script. I have made a script in PHP for you. Should I send the feature list of it to your mail, so that you can probably decide better.

Waiting for your reply.

Some ideas for the Server Status would be great.. The offer is still open just need some ideas and cool layouts for the system..

[mfennell]

have you looked at the netsaint program for the server script?


http://www.netsaint.org/indexold.php


just a thought

[admin]

We use netsaint now it has issues for us.. :(

[landiserve]

Netsaint is not what I would call an end-user product, it is a very complex program, that has far to many details to give customers access too (IMO)

[Firmsol]

Are you accepting submissions for static banners as well?

Thanks!
