I didn't vote for myself either (oh, hang-on I don't have a site entered)! I know we always say it's tough but once again I was torn between very different but very effective and well executed styles.

Don't lie you signed up 15 times and voted for yourself....oh wait we can check IP addresses, so we would know if you did that, and it would look odd if people were just signing up to vote for you, ok then I believe you never voted for yourself :pp

I agree it was hard, it was only when I looked past the design did it push me to vote for who I did, if I had just went on design I think my vote would still be in the air.

Just give the text area a class then style it using CSS.

So text area is

<input type="text" class="text_field" name="formName" id="formName">

What a wonderful array of themes.

I love seeing how each designer’s imagination catches the moment.

I would feel on a high - to be the person behind any of the websites up for the award.

I found three to be inspirational:
Aram, Curvball and Dizi

Aram's I don't usually like flash or anims but those are truly incredible.

Curvball I liked the paintings.

Dizi Gets my vote, just feels clean, easy and high quality.

Hi

Thanks to those who have voted for Matmi. I am very proud of the site and personally think its the best designed and most original site on offer.

Not only did we design the site, but we all the animation was especially designed for the site and we even made a version of space invaders for under the lid at the top.

I think www.pcityourself.com is pretty good as its clean, simple and easy to understand.

I also quite like like dizi cos its so fresh.

Thanks for your votes. Lets hope we win ;)

I think you should vote for Dizi Designs because if you don't I will ban you from the forum.......

*cough* *cough*

sorry about that please disregard that previous comment, I will now post a statement written by my PR team...


Quote

Thank you everyone who has voted for a WOTM, as its good to see people taking the time to look at the sites and vote for the ones that they liked the most. As there are a great selection of sites to pick from and everyone has worked hard on their sites, anyone entered in this deserves to win, be it based on a nice design, lots of things to do, being complicated, being simple, easy to navigate, good coding skills or all of the above. So keep your votes coming in, vote for the site you like best as remember a vote for the site you like best is a vote for the site you like best.




:pp 888 :crazy: :pp 888 :crazy: :pp 888 :crazy:


Sorry again my PR team has told me to stop pulling faces at you nice people reading this.
