Calling All Web Designers, We Need A New Look

By -
To be honest: I suck at any form of design. GamingOnLinux is in need of a super web guru to make a new look for us, so could that be you?

We can offer £50 to the person who is chosen (paid via paypal) thanks to our community member "mirv" <3 who has offered the prize up to help get people interested. I have the money ready to send to whoever creates something nice for us.

Our current design came out of a quickly whipped up template someone sent me once, and I've never really liked "Bootstrap" for being a little heavy and quite overly complicated, but you are free to use it I'm just not good with it myself.

There are a couple requirements:
- It needs to keep our carousel (unless you can come up with a better idea to show highlighted posts along the top)
- Needs to look good on mobile
- People do complain it's too bright (and I agree), so brightness is an issue, we have a dark theme, but that's also a bit crap, so maybe something in-between?
- And that's pretty much it

You are free to come up with any sort of idea's, but let's not be silly and do things like make it bright purple ;)

If you fancy a go at it then feel free to comment away, or email me at [email protected]. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'm not a (web)designer myself but I could add a FEZ-steam-key to the pot! If you want it just send me a message.

We use custom software, switching to Wordpress is not an option. We are just looking for a design not to change our entire base.

Also there is an Edit option, it's titled Edit above your post.

Also guys I'm being serious about this, can we cut it with the joke links and such.

I've cleaned up the comments to be on-topic only.

I think the light colors are easy to read and uplifting, still another color to go along with the blue and white might help warm up the design a little, but then again the mascot and logo is a blue penguine so maybe a frozen look is appropriate, hard to say.

Well, I like the current design.... and personally, I LOVE the dark theme!!! So, whatever whoever does.... keep that theme up, please :D

For what it's worth, I have lots of duplicate Steam keys from bundles I can offer as a prize: https://drmccoy.de/zeugs/bundle.html

I have never seen a problem with how the website is at the moment, but whatever, knock yourselves out.

I have deleted RoninDusette's comments as he changed them to be offensive/obscene.
