josephb needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 112 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
Design cool, modern home page for our new beta site of a mobile job posting service. Our target customer is 20-30, urban, and will use our service to post jobs via text message to housecleaners, movers, and other home help.

2 UPDATES BELOW - GET CREATIVE + NEW WIREFRAME
-- GET CREATIVE ! --
Hey, we have just over 24 hours left and you have entered some great designs! However, many of them are looking too much like the wireframe in regards to the boxy layout of content on the home page, and we want to see some other ideas (and, a lot of them are starting to look the same..). Also, some of you have added pictures both of mobile phones and / or workers and we would like to see some more of that. Another idea is to add a graphic of a skyline or something that depicts an urban feel.
If you have already submitted, please try an update and rearrange the content on the home page, with the order of priority being:
1. How it Works section with graphics and numbers
2. Need a Worker - Get Started
3. Take a tour
4. Need a job
The main focus of the home page is for the how it works to compel someone to want to sign up to use the service.
If you haven't submitted yet, still plenty of time!

This is for a new bonus page, the "How it works" page, which we would like instead of the job listing page. We really like as a reference the mint.com/features page:

-- INCREASED PRIZE MONEY --details in the full brief
Assured Labor
Assured Labor creates an intelligent mobile marketplace to connect workers and employers. We are launching our Beta Site in Boston, MA using Movers and Housecleaners. We want a site that has a Web 2.0 look, but not overdone.
The main focus of the home page is for the how it works to compel someone to want to sign up to use the service.
Deliverable is sliced psd for or sliced psd + XHTML/CSS for bonuses.
The prize money is broken down as follows:
$500 for the best home page design
The winner will have, at their option, the chance to get the following bonuses:
$100 for how it works page (same overall theme as the home page)
$100 for job posting page (same overall theme, just an extra nav bar and layout of worker profiles)
$100 for the XHTML/CSS for home page only, or
$150 for the XHTML/CSS for all 3 pages
If the winner would like the bonus for XHTML / CSS, we need full tableless XHTML / CSS for Home page and extra pages.
I really like the designs that were submitted for this 99designs contest, including the color schemes:
http://99designs.com/contests/10234
Specifically, it should be modern, with a color scheme not too far off of the wire frames and coordinating with our logo. Green, blue, white, silver, black, and other colors recommended.
