"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE (Design the Freeola error page)"

COMPETITION NOW CLOSED - WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY

Another day, another great opportunity to win an EXTRA GAMEADAY prize. That's one prize of any game of your choice if you are a member of SR, or one prize of an SR Membership with Free Gift, if you are not a member.

Take a look at this page:

http://registration.freeola.net/errors/e.php?ec=404

The purpose of this page is to show people that they have gone to the wrong page.

However, there is another important role for these pages, and that's to get people to our site! Most of the people seeing this error page have never heard of us, and we want them to become SR fans.

This competition closes on August 10th and will be judged by Loki himself.

To win you must design a simple, fast-loading page with sufficient innovation to achieve a high click rate to the following sites:
UKgames.com
UKpc.net
Freeola.com
GetDotted.com

Place the url in a reply in this thread and Loki will pop in from time to time and publish your link as a hotlink in this opening thread (so that people can easily see all the page designs you have entered).

You can enter as many times as you like and there will be one winner who produces the design which impresses loki the most. If no designs impress loki at all then he will not issue a prize.

It's vital that the page loads quickly. You are more likely to win with some clever wording than you are with flashy designs. You can use one of our stock banner, like the one shown on the error page at present, or you can make your design without a banner if you like.

Good Luck.

Well I know jack about HTML and used the Geoshities page builder and look how fantastic my entries look.

Kiss-My-Ass.

I use frontpage, although I know it isn't amazing, for what I need it for is all I could ever really need.

I know the basics of HTML but could never design a site in notepad, if you look at phi11ip.com you will see that I did it all in frontpage and although it is VERY amature, it does have a nice look too it and that's all I really need.

Ahh, just looking at the menu bar of my site, I've got to add a few links but there's one problem when you follow the archives button and go back! whoops!

That looks really good!

BUT...

You are going to have to compress the images on the page, it took about 30 seconds to load for me and that is too long!

You compress that to a nice size and keep it looking good then you will have a good chance of winning!

I would be very surprised if any top web designers use Frontpage for their big web sites. It is not very good at handling very large sites, it adds to many unwanted meta tags in, and isn't powerful enough for a lot of what they want to do. You can do much more in Notepad.

I've updated the first! Yay!

Hes a coder, HTML isn't his primary coding knowledge, even top webproducers use Frontpage doesn't make any difference what program you use to write code. At least he had a go.

I would've said exactly the same thing about me, Lord H, but you beat me to it.

Oh yeah, another thing.....

If you are such a great coder why do you need to use FrontPage?

I don't count myself as a coder but all I use is NotePad, which is all anyone with coding experience needs.
