Offer HN: Free Web Design

Posted by ashraful on Friday April 22, 2011 @09:06AM
from the self-post dept.

I am a freelance web designer (madebyargon.com) and I have some free time on my hands so I am offering a free web/UI design to HN members. I am doing this completely free of charge. Just email me your project, and I'll create a design that is (hopefully) more usable and appealing to the users.

Please email me at [email protected] and put "Offer HN" in the subject.

Note: From past experience, I may get more requests than I can handle. I will give preference to those websites/apps which are already active.

This is a great idea.

I'd like to offer the same. Web/Interface design for HN members. Although I can only take on 1-2 projects.

That's an awesome offer and you have a great portfolio. I wish my project were further along because I would absolutely take you up on it.

Nice portfolio! I am going to launch my product and just whip up a website myself: http://www.appsketcher.com . I am no designer so took a simplistic approach. Would you be able to take a look and give me some advice? Thanks.

Some simple feedback from another designer:

- Might want to have hover states on the other navigation buttons.

- Too much text above the fold, in my opinion. If possible, I would highlight some short, bullet-points near the top (in larger font)

- What is "appwork" in the top left logo and in the title? Everywhere else seems to call it "App Sketcher". I would try to be consistent or make the difference clear.

Thanks for your suggestions. These are all very good points. Regarding "appwork", it's my company name. Originally I wanted to call the product Appwork Sketcher but probably no one will know what it is. So now I call it App Sketcher. I will remove appwork except for the company name in the footer.

I already have more requests than I can handle. No further projects will be taken on (unless you have a really cool site).

To everyone who emailed me, I will reply within 2-3 days.

Thanks.

Also, I am available to take on paid work. Mention HN for a discount.

Nice design work. Just checked out VideoLAN's website, though, and they have a bunch of broken images. Know anything about that?

I'm not involved with their day-to-day website maintenance, so I cant really help. I know that they are constantly modifying and updating their website, so I'm sure any broken links will get fixed soon enough.
