Offer HN: Free Web Design

16 pointsashraful12 comments

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 inlith@gmail.com 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.

Great stuff. How many are you willing to take on? 1 or 2?

I'll take on as many as my schedule allows. Maybe 4 or 5

Nice work. Sent you an email. Thanks
