UPDATE: Well, not one single person entered. They can’t all be winners I guess. It is sad to think all the people that signed up for hosting anyways in the last three months that could have had a chance at a free professional website design. Perhaps the lesson is you just can’t hold a contest that involves too much effort (as in money) on the entrants part. That, or I simply don’t have a strong enough reach yet with my blog to get a great turnout.
Whether you’re starting a new business already or have always wanted to, you’re going to need a website and I’m offering you a chance to get the whole thing done completely free! And if you just want to start a blog or personal site that’s cool too.
What You’ll Get if You Win?
A total web design package seen through to the end.
- WordPress professionally and securely installed and optimized for performance and SEO.
- A logo, social icon (for use on Twitter for example), favicon and the website’s design itself completely custom designed to your liking.
- Features, pages and content added to your liking.
- Blog, forum, shopping cart etc setup.
- Google Analytics, Webmaster Tools and AdSense setup.
- Your companies’ Facebook and Twitter profiles created and setup and synced with your website.
- All the other odds and ends of a complete online presence.
- Once your project is thoroughly completed to your satisfaction I’ll of course be available permanently in the future for advice (always free) and updates (at my normal rate).
Of course, you’ll need your own hosting and domain to make running this website I build for you and then sharing it with the world possible and that’s where comes in…
How to Enter
If you’re starting your first website for whatever reason you’re going to need good hosting and a domain no matter what regardless of this contest anyways. I already recommend the best hosting for startups, blogs and personal sites with the experience to back that up. So, since it’s something you’re going to need to signup for anyways, really all you’re doing is signing up through me in order to enter.
Step 1: Signup for Hosting and Domain (Domain is Included with Hosting)
You must use one of the links below and you must be using a browser with cookies enabled.
Learn more about the recommended hosting first.
(They’re both run by the same company and you should expect the same quality from both. However, many prefer BlueHost over HostMonster and it is more commonly popular. I personally prefer and use HostMonster, read that article here.)
But Bryan, I already have a domain and/or hosting… can I still enter?
Yes. Once you reach the signup page (first, starting by clicking one of the links above) choose the option:
I Have a Domain
I want to use an existing domain
We’ll provide you the information you’ll need for transferring your domain.
Step 2: Comment Below
Comment below including the following info:
- Which host did you decide to go with?
- What’s the domain you signed up for?
- Pitch me your idea or business. Let me know what your business is about, what features you’re looking to have, services or products you’re going to offer and so on.
BONUS
Everyone who enters will automatically be entitled to a 10% discount on my services as a web and graphic designer if you’re not chosen as the winner.
RULES & FINE PRINT
I will be picking the project I find most interesting and fitting to work on. I’m not setting any criteria for this, so having the most creative idea isn’t the goal here. Simply pitch your project true and honest to what you’re looking to do.
The contest will run for three months and a winner will be picked on Friday, April 6th, 2012.
IMPORTANT
Neither BlueHost nor HostMonster are officially endorsing or sponsoring this contest. They are in no way, shape or form responsible for your website design, my services or anything else related to me and this contest.
Good Luck Everyone!
Thanks for reading, Bryan
