"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.

Go back and have a look at mine again you plank... look carefully... they're not random numbers... The first one uses 404 repeated and hilighting one, the second uses a succession of numbers from 400 - 410, some of which are also other types of errors giving the ability to ue a similar design for other error types... Giving design two fucnction as well as form!

Have we got it now?

Now I wonder why it is that I get paid as a designer and you don't?
(though this could be seen as giving me an unfair advantage!;))

If I see another variation of mine I'll kill you all!!

Luke... Like your mate, looks good.. Still think Andi's first entry is the sure winner... closley followed by Holly Valance(?)!:D

I willpossibly return later with a couple more designs... but first.. back to writing plug-ins for FireworksMX.
