     I am willing to use wordpress (not a huge fan but open) but I'm not willing to have a 1 page website. Each page should be unique. Home page, About Us, Blocks, (eventually) Panels (wall panels, not solar), Gallery (with sub-pages for Block photos, Block videos, Panel Photos, and Panel Videos. (Although we'll start with only 1 gallery page). And of course a Contact Us page. So the challenge will be easy maintenance of the headers & footers when new pages are added (I know how I would do it ... but you need to know how you will do it!)

  I mentioned a couple of days ago I would start rejecting submissions that haven't read my comments here ...
  
  So far, there is only 1 submission that has actually submitted a design that reflects what our company does using the bricks we build AND submitted a price for completion of the website.
  
  REMEMBER ... this competition is the first part of a multi-stage process.

  I would encourage all competitors to re-read the competition posting. It says (I believe quite clearly) submit your design ALONG WITH the price to complete the project. I've had some people tell me a price over chat ... that doesn't qualify (I can't remember who said what ... it should be a comment on your submission)

  Because some people have gotten the impression that our panels are solar panels ... I thought I should post some pictures.
  
  Here are two pictures of a house being built with our panels ... http://growing-green-communities.com/Wall_Panels.jpg

  Any submissions from this point forward that don't read this message might as well withdraw their submission ... because in all likelihood ... you're not going to win.
  
  Part of the purpose of this competition is for me to learn if you can follow my instructions and understand what I'm trying to communicate. If you can't ... then we've got a fundamental problem right from the start ... and we will not likely be working together.

  Just a reminder to all ....
  
  Our company produces the blocks shown in the comment I made previously (7 or 8 hours before this comment).
  
  We don't ---
  
  * Rent homes (or suites in a hotel)
  * Sell homes (except in a few rare cases)
  * We aren't a beauty salon
  
  I'm not sure where many of you are getting these impressions ... but most of the submissions had focused on concepts like these. If you have specific questions about what we do ... ask them here.
  
  We manufacture and sell blocks to home builders ... our blocks are 4' by 1' by 10" ... so they're not tiny paving stones ... and we're not trying to sell manufacturing plants to anyone.

  Hope that gives you some additional reference.

  Hello There! I am extremely interested in your project and I will participate in the contest, but I have an initial question: Do you want me to submit only the design of the homepage in the entry, or do you want all the pages you mentioned?

     The design of the homepage is key (obviously) but if sub-pages have a significantly different look (less graphics, a different header, etc.) then you should include that as well.

  Can you share some reference website which you like?

     Wow ... that's a really broad ask! I like a lot of different websites (I've been doing websites for 25+ years) ... and my concern is if I point you in one direction then a creative idea you have might never be shown to me. I would say, take a look at my logo and use that for inspiration ... while always remember to keep clicks to a minimum and keep it responsive ...
     There was one submission on this contest that caught my attention ... but it's not fair to that person if I share that idea ... and again it reduces your creativeness.
     
     Oh, and one more thing ... my blocks are 4' x 1' x 10" ... not 8" x 3" x 2" as some have assumed when they hear the term brick. See my post above to see an example

  Please do not request to chat simply to ask me to award you the contract.
  
  The winner will be someone who provides me with a design and price ...
  
  All entries are confidential so nobody except me will see your price or design.
