V2 portfolio and get your site reworked for free!
 

2008 was my apprenticeship year. I did a lot of designs for a lot of people.
2009 starts with a reworked portfolio. I set myself the challenge of making the best looking portfolio I could in 1 DAY!! +1 extra day for adding content.

http://gimme-website.com

The competition

Here is your chance to have your piece of shit website reworked. And it has to be a piece of shit. We want to turn the most embarassing site you have into something you can be proud of. What ever you need, you got it. If its a paysite we will do the tour/galleries/banner pack.. the whole job. If its a forum.. we will make you a sexy skin. But I need to stress again. YOUR SITE HAS TO BE GOD-DAMN AWFUL. It has to make my eyes bleed when I look at it.

The rules
1. You have to have a piece of shit website. It has to be famous for being shit. And of course.. it has to be YOUR website. And tell me why your site is shitter than everyone elses.

2.Well I think it takes the piss to enter my competition if you havnt even visited my portfolio. So that is one condition of entry. You must visit my portfolio and prove it somehow. Post a link to a design i did that you liked. Tell me ive made a Typo. Quote something funny from my FAQ.

3. That's it! This competition ends in 7 days. SO thats wednesday at 5pm my local time. I'm GMT+1 .... The winner is effectivly chosen by me, but public opinion will also sway my decision heavily. The winner will be contacted and we will make it happen!

Very good idea for a contest :) you're stuff looks great too .. Like the new design ..

Thx, I wanted to make a comp where the most deserving person won. In a twisted way I think this works.

Great idea Anna...I think the competion will be really cool!!

Cool idea.

Good luck, you have some great work.

Come on folks.. lets see your shit!!!

Welcome to the jungle Anna :winkwink:

It will be interesting to see who can check their ego at the door and submit one of their sites that looks like "ASS"... and I don't mean that in a good way :Oh crap

This is a very creative way to introduce your new portfolio and design service. Best of luck to you in 2009. You should have plenty of cleaning up to do here :thumbsup

I ve been working on this .. don't really know where to go with it other then a portfolio site for my custom content and for investors ... www.videovicious.com

have fun

I've got some others that i haven't worked on in a while

my blog can sure use some work too

EEEESSSHHHH.. That is totally shit, but you know its shit and thats the first step!
Bravo vidvicious!! xxx

But this entry is non qualifying. you didnt pay attention to rule 2. plz edit your post to qualify x

I knew this comp would prove "TOO HARD" for most GFY'rs

Great contest, some of my designs suck but not as bad as some I have seen.

So lets see them getnaughty! Right now if you post.. your the current leader

i cant really post many of my site's here.. :)

Mine's ugly, but I'm on the fence. Someone else already owes me a free site, but I forget who the hell it is.

I Love you daddy spunky sir. xxx

love it when u say that :)

This thread needs your shit people.

looks good

Im not sure if this competition is an epic fail or a massive victory. I suspect the later. :)

hello mrs gimmick-website connection,

please keep some long distance. i do not trust women too much. and sit still.

im proud to announce that i will love to knew yours real name. dont hope for the best. i am already married to four wives in familes.

when i sleep at nights i lock my wives in toilet room. sometime i let them touch my genital areas, but only after washing their hands. particulary carefully.

- regardingments

PLz wash your moustache

do it smell like fishings? :(

Mmmm.. good stuff.

Awesome.

1. Not a terrible design, but outdated. So I nominate http://wowiezowie.com.

2. Its different from the old wood paneled one. And theres Rick Astley lyrics at the bottom. And I don't want to talk to Greg.

3. Alright.

At last we have an entry! And what a pile of shit it is too!
Outdated? That thing was designed with parchment and cow dung.

Its awful.. gratz, so far your in the lead.

nice idea for a contest

LOL of course i visited your site .. lol first thing i did before even reading the post ..

http://gimme-website.com/v2/portfoli...ashotbox-1.jpg

I've never claimed to be a designer .. however i make due with with what g-ds givin' me ... My talent , my charm and my perversions .. lol

I think your a better designer than I am a photographer.

Its time for an "How sweet is that" moment...

Jeskashotbox was one of the first paid jobs i had. Thanks daddy spunky sir!
And I didnt even know how to use the pen tool.. i was cutting out all my images with the eraser.

very nice portfolio

*raises hand* I gotta piece of shit site!
 

1. My site is shittier than a rat's ass: www.costumecuties.com. The original designer and webmaster kinda tossed this together on his own, according to him he "coded by hand" which I don't even know what that means, it's probably a euphemism for "didn't give a shit, took the money and ran." Check out the site, I dare you. Get this noise, when you tour you see these neat (well by 'neat' I mean 'better than nothing') thumbnails to show new content, though you can't do much with them...however when you join and actually pay for the membership, you get no thumbnails. Not a one. Only a list of video titles with no description. In fact the member section doesn't look a damned thing like the preview section. Oh and don't you love that the frontpage is one lone pic, with no real info about the site, except for a banner I half assed put together bc, well, I'm not a designer. Sweet huh!

2. I LOVE the Play With Paris layout (http://gimme-website.com/v2/?p=63 : http://www.playwithparis.com) Also you mentioned "it is your responsibility to intergrate" I think you mean "integrate" (hey, you asked to hear about typos :p). I know what you mean about being too nice and spending hours with "those" types of clients, as a freelance photographer I deal with them all too frequently.

3. Well I think I've swallowed enough ego by now.

HI nikki xx

Im so glad you "GET" this thread! Ive looked at your site and the first thing i have to say is.

I SO WANT A WONDERWOMAN COSTUME! How much? I gotta have it!

But onto the serious bizness here. Your quite right, your site is appauling, its had no thought and love put into it. It needs to be held to my warm bosum and nursed back to health. And you really need to rethink using gallery2... if the design doesnt kill your site. That script will.

bump! bump!

Thank you so much for your, um, kind words ;) But you are so right. The poor site needs lots of lovin and I'm sure your awesome bosom could do just the trick. Also, um, what's gallery2? I bought this site from someone bc I already created this type of content and the former owner didn't want to be assed with it (and now I can see why), so I bought it and I know not a damned thing about this stuff lmao! I know what I'd like to see done with it, only I'm just a photog and not much with the design skeelz.

lol seriously fun thread! 2 x :thumbsup :thumbsup

great idea!

Seriously.. I win...
 

I mean take a look at http://www.xposts.com

How much worse could you get...

That and I really liked your Logo at http://gimme-website.com/v2/?p=226

What I would love to do with xposts is put a legal tube on it...

Oh another note, http://www.extremehole.com design is over 6 years old and needs a lot of help. I thought the design was good back then.. but I find it irritating now...

I would like to do a totally new look for the sites 10 year anniversary which is coming up in a few months.

pretty sweet contest! heres a bump for you man.. i didn't knew you can put up a full working website in wordpress hehe i only knew blogs :P

Yes, the whole portfolio is built around wordpress. Its got all the junk stuff removed that i dont want. A few CSS edits and hey presto! Thats why I love wordpress too, its so flexible and you can make something special really quickly. V2 portfolio was built in 1 DAY!

Now I must pay my attentions to Gerco. Actually its not "that" bad Gerco. I wouldnt mind joining myself!

Ya, but what about Http://www.xposts.com ... Thats total horse poop....
