We are proud winners of the Wix - Jerry Rice Design Off

We are thrilled to have won the Jerry Rice Design Off competition and our design is now the official website of Jerry Rice, NFL Football Legend, a huge honour for any web designer.

Here is an extract from Jerry Rice News Announcement;

"Exciting news! After many deliberations, Jerry Rice and the Wix panel of judges have come to a final decision about the winner of the Jerry Rice Design-Off. Let’s all give a big hand to Tracy Costopoulos from the UK, and her winning website design!

Tracy’s design will be the official website of football legend and NFL Hall-of-Famer Jerry Rice – a huge honor for any web designer. In addition, Wix.com is awarding Tracy with a cash prize of $10,000!

Here’s what Jerry had to say to Tracy and to all of the participants:
“Thank you for all of your submissions. I am really impressed with the creativity, the thought and the time all of you have put into the website design. You made the decision very difficult for Wix and me. I’m excited about my new website and have Tracy and Wix to thank.”

Jerry is not kidding. The decision was extremely difficult to make. We received so many amazing entries, and it was very hard to narrow the choice down to just one design. All of you contest participants have shown great amounts of creativity and professionalism, and we would like to thank each and everyone of you."

Beautiful Textures in Web Design

Using texture in your web design can add an element of depth and warmth to your site. There are some wonderful examples of textured web backgrounds out there as well as some great resources available to download such as www.subtlepatterns.com. We love creating our own textures in Photoshop by playing around with the noise feature and brightness/contrast button. Whatever your fancy, give your site a little texture to give it that authentic feel. We have collected a few of our favourite touchy feely sites to showcase for your viewing pleasure. Let us know what you think.
