I had a pretty unimpressive splash image up on GothicAmateur.com for quite a while, because I never quite knew what to do with it. Clickthrough was good, but the image didn't do it for me.
The other day, I signed up for a monthly free design at dreamdesigns4u.com, and got an email saying I had won a free splash page. She and I worked together, and here is the result..
Thanks for the great work! Considering this was a free design, her work was quick and she was happy to review and make things just right. I happily recommend dreamdesigns4u.com as a designer!
