Hi!
I need a clone of 99designs.com (& like http://Logomyway.com , http://www.crowdspring.com , http://www.designcrowd.com , http://www.zenlayout.com/)
1) Different design, of course: 2-3 layouts/themes, pure and Web 2.0 look, different colors (perhaps, background should be of a light color – white, pale-grey, smoke), something impressive, bright and attractive (may be AJAX or whatsoever).
2) I need a site in English and I also need to have the ability to change language.
I think that the text of site can be stored in language files, which makes translation simple. It concerns changing of coding (charset) if necessary, too. Thus, to add a new language all I’ll need to do is to translate language files into appropriate language, upload language files to a site, and change the language in admin back area.
3) A Marketplace/Store area where the designer will be able to sell their designs and members
can buy it now without make a necessarily contest.
4) I should have full backend features and functionalities to control contests, comments, payments, contest date alteration etc. (like on 99designs and other similar sites).
Exemplary listing is on makecontest. com (features). This is the list of features that perhaps, can add something new to the typical features of above mentioned sites:
There will be Featured contests in the homepage with an option to view all the contests. There will be recent designs in the homepage.
