We are developing a new website and need someone to create a template that can be used for the various pages. The site is [login to view URL] and will be used to sell a software package for people to conduct searches on other individuals.
We chose the name "simSherlock" because Sherlock Holmes is a legendary detective figure. The template needs to have a top section that will have a new logo that you will create for simSherlock. The main selling point of the software is that it will be like having your own private investigator available 24 hours a day. The software package is a second-generation software tool that is based on www.simDetective.net. Please look at that website to see some of the selling points that is listed there as many of the selling points for it would also apply to simSherlock.
Since the site is based around the legend of Sherlock Holmes, we would like the logo to incorporate a picture of Sherlock Holmes - either a side-profile or a cartoon-style picture. The winning bidder needs to do some research on Sherlock Holmes to come up with some ideas for us on a proposed logo. The rest of the site should be built around this logo.
The template is to be an HTML page that will have the logo and an overall design of a page. We will use the template to place the page-specific information in the middle for the more information. The page needs buttons or links to "Home", "Support", "Help", and "Affiliates". The page also needs a "Buy Now" image or logo that will take the user to the purchase section of the site. Many sites selling software have a software box with the name of the software and some info about the software on it which a user can click to purchase. We are flexible with the design of this - we just want a great-looking site.
Please provide at least a couple of references to websites you have built that show off your design and logo skills.
