Graphic Design Contests

**melaniejk** · 08-22-2004, 10:09 PM

Hi.
I am looking for a new design template for my web site.
I want one that will fit with a genealogy / family history theme.
I have some of my own pictures I can add to it.
I want to give the site a warmer, more welcoming feel.
I've been scouring the web, but there are just soo many templates out there. And, I've yet to find one that could be used for the site (right theme) and looks professional.

I've already fully searched Template Monster.

I'm interested in a template instead of hiring a designer because I want to see the design before I'm obligated to buy it.

Do you know of a suitable template? Please, let me know.

Thank you.

What I do with my company is to create drafts for clients, usually 3 designs and they pick one. The rejected design we then sometimes sell as templates to smaller companies o rindividua;s, but we only sell them once, we never reuse them. If you can give me an idea of what you're looking for I can see if we have any templates that might interest you.

What were you offering for it?

Hello.
I'm looking for a template with a theme that could be related to genealogy or family history in some way. It doesn't have to be a perfect fit. But, be adaptable. I want visitors to know what kind of site they are visiting by looking at it.

I'm looking for a template that has a friendly, warm tone yet still professional.
I'm not set on a color. But, when searching the templates at TM, I see that I'm drawn to the brown tones.

I wasn't offering a set price. I was looking for a template and seeing how much it costs, then deciding if it was a good fit. The price I would be willing to pay depends on the template. I would pay more for a themed site that needs little tweaking than a generic site that needs a lot of work to fit my site. The better the design the more I'd be willing to pay. Basically, I'm looking for something that you may find in the range of the templates on Template Monster (under $100). If the template is great I would also be willing to give a link from my site (currently a PR7).

I found the perfect template on TM for my gravestone photo site (genealogy related).
http://www.ancestralbranches.com/tom...ravestone.html
It came with a flash header with sound, but I don't use that on the home page (only the interior pages).

If you have any templates that you think might be a fit, please let me know.
Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Melanie

Sorry, for the typo. I forgot to add the letter s.
http://www.ancestralbranches.com/tom...avestones.html

But, that's not the Template Monster (TM) web site. That is url of my gravestone web site where I used the template I bought from TM. I though it was a perfect fit.

The TM web site is: http://www.templatemonster.com
