Who Does the VERY BEST minisite/ecover design? Any examples of GREAT design?

41 replies
Hey Warriors!

Doing some market research here...

I wanna know who you think is the BEST minisite/cpver designer, or if there are any examples of really nice minisites or covers design that you have seen...

I am not talking about your $100 minisite here, I am talking beautiful, PRO designs. Something beautiful and extra-ordinary.

Some examples of what I consider 'beautiful':

EliteFlippers 2009

Minisite Frog :: Minisite Design, Graphics, eCovers and Templates (Their site, not their portfolio - No offence meant)

Web 2.0 Mini Site Templates - Atomic Mini Sites! (The site and the templates)

Hot Video Squeeze Pages | Video Opt-in Templates | Flash Templates | Awever Video Pages | Finest Collection of Video Squeeze Page Templates (the site and templates)

any other ones? This is the best place to ask, right?

    @ ecoverartist - This really is not meant in an offensive way - honestly - but I am talking about high end minisite design, the sort that really catches the eye, like the examples that I showed

    @ScottTrimble - yeah I agree, the site is really well designed

    @ecoverartist did a great job with the design for one of my sites.

    But this one is my all time favorite.

    Untitled Document

    Had it done by Design Guru Ryan back in 2007, hence the old
    school look.

    But it's the tightest graphics I've ever had done for me.

    And he's very easy to deal with - Web graphics guru develops graphics for web sites worldwide - Design Guru Ryan

    He's my favorite.

    Another guy that's good is Sean Lowery of Sean Lowery's MinisiteGraphics.com - Minisite Design, Direct Marketing

    Best web design and minisites I have ever seen are from XtremeWebGraphix - this guy makes them look absolutely amazing, I'm sure they would cost a few $1000 though, but they are well worth the money. People like Mike Filsaimes, and Michael Jones use him.

    Extreme Web Graphix - Your Direct Response Graphic Specialist!

    Simply the best..

    Thanks guys!
    @Trxxie - That's very nice, but some of them look REALLY tacky lol - I am locking for something way more professional
    @Okie - Hey dude! I actually went to your site today before yo posted - I agree that on design/value scale - Your sites come out VERY WELL!
    @Jason - Yeah DGR is good, but there are still better than him - I like your page but it is not quite what I am after

    Think EliteFlippers 2009 and Web 2.0 Mini Site Templates - Atomic Mini Sites!

    Thanks for all the input warriors! Please remember price is NO issue, this is market research and I am not looking to purchase a minisite - I just wanna find out what the absolute TOP quality avaliable to IMers is!

    Thanks,

    Mubarak

    @Mubarak: you've just done a great market research! No surprise result for me, as DesigNGuruRyan, eCoverFrog, and any other mentioned above are no doubtly the best out there right now, in terms of quality

      I put my 2 cents in for Oki if you don't mind waiting and lack of communication. I would still use him if you are not in a hurry but have recommended him to friends several time but will no longer due to his inconsistent service and delays.

      Still the best design I have ever used if you don't mind the wait....

    James is my good friend, from Flockey.com. He is extremely good at designing web interfaces. So is Chris Rowe and Anthony Bullock.

    The atomic minisites one "looks like" it's been done by Dylan Jones.

    I have to say that for my tastes Okie's sites come out the best. A lot of those other ones just look crowded or over-worked to me. Not my style. Okie's strike just the right balance between simplicity and dazzle.

    Oh yeah, forgot about my boy Brent from E Cover Frog.

    He did 404 Secrets, JV Giveaway Secrets and Accelerated Success System back in the day.

    His site is Minisite Frog :: Minisite Design, Graphics, eCovers and Templates

    Haven't talked to him in a while but I'm sure he still holds it down

    hi Mubarak, please also consider if the graphic is SEO friendly or not, for the example of EliteFlippers 2009 is really cool design, but it's totally not SEO friendly, because there is no content at all in there, only a very big image in there.

    @Swastik - Nice ideas there - Although I cannot seem to fine their works...

    @Josh - I do not have a design job - I am a designer myself, and am doing some market research...

    @Scott - Yeah I do like the GM site a lot - Some good stuff there

    Hi Mub,

    I've had design done with both Dave: Extreme Web Graphix AND Ryan, Design Guru Ryan. They are both EXCELLENT and great people.

    Though in tooting my own horn, my design is up there with them for quality and price.

    Quick question for all of you offering your own design services in this thread - do all the designs come with the "branding" in your portfolios? I see some great work in here but I'm really turned off by the "graphics by so and so" in the footer. Or was that just done on your sites to avoid copying/stealing of the designs?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[858766].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author kswr123
    Yes and no. Some designers will put designed by www.xzy.com in the footer - It is a way of increasing business, right.

    I offer an option where I do not do that, although I charge, as you would expect, $10 more...

      Thanks for the response, Mubarak. I understand the need to increase business where you can, but I always found it a little amateurish. I mean let's say my site gets 100,000 hits a day and out of those, 1% go to the designer's site. That's 1000 people. Now let's say 1% of them purchase services. That's 10 people. Let's say I bought the typical package and it costs $300. Well those 10 people a day I'm sending to the designer is making them $3,000 a day if they do the same. So where is the upside for me? I'm just trying to figure out the WIIFM factor. People pay for advertising, not the other way around.

        I agree. When I pay for graphics I'm not
        agreeing to send the designer free business
        for the privilege of paying for his services.

        Do copy writers include a link in their copy?

        Do I want to send people away from my
        site to go buy someone else's services?

        No freakin' way.

        You should be paying your clients for that
        tag - not the other way around. At the
        very least include an affiliate link and pay
        for any business generated.

        Aside from that, I may or may not want my
        competitors to know who does my design
        work - do I really want them cloning my
        look? Hell no.

        At the same time, if you're really good and
        good to work with I'll tell the people who
        you really need to reach.

        All that aside, thanks for starting this thread -
        I found a handful of these designers very
        interesting and I wish you success.
