> Last time I opened this site, I received thirteen design requests within the first 20 minutes or so. I had to close the submission form, or I wouldn't be able to keep up with the number of requests coming in as this went viral.
Seems like a perfect opportunity to raise the price until demand levels off enough that he could keep up with it. I imagine he could find a sweet spot between being affordable, and having enough requests to keep him busy.

Oh, nice. The design for my SpeedBox app landingpage is on top of the references. (latest update released by Apple just today, btw. See bottom of this comment for some free promo codes ;)
Ok, I'm really very happy with the design. It keeps to the 960px grid (16 columns), is NOT just a PSD template with my content slapped into and the PSD is nicely formatted with all the right layers, etc. The header graphic is handmade in photoshop, not some stock picture. This might have taken a while to do! There are also some details I really like. For example Marco took the time to add the reflection layer to the screenshot in the iPhone, etc (of course with layer effects, so I can easily change the screenshot itself)
For me the design is a great starting point to make a nice looking website. I made some minor changes (added an iPad graphic next to the iPhone on top), will add a nice video and image viewer and create an iPhone sized version of the site, but I don't think I would have ended up with such a nice design if I tried myself.
Ok, here's the promo codes (now worldwide, yay) for my SpeedBox iPhone/iPad app. Sorry for kind of hijacking this thread, it's really a coincidence that the update was released today and I just feel like giving away a couple of codes ;)
I think you should experiment with charging $5 EXTRA to have the design featured rather than charging $5 less. Free advertising you know.
You should get nginx + php + fastcgi, and install the super cache plugin.

Well played.
