smar needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 49 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
We are developers of open source rich internet application framework aiming to popularize and spread adoption of Open Standards in web application development. Currently working on several, web based WYSIWYG tools for rapid creation of web application interfaces and other interactive content without coding.
- web developers
- graphical designers
- business users
We need sleek and clean design for our Interface Builder project. It should appeal to not just developers, but also web designers and general, not so tech savvy users. While containing standard components and functionality interface should be intuitive and creative, probably more Mac style then MS, or could even use some web 2.0 styling.
This is just a one page design contest, but please keep attention to initial details and icons, we'd like to work with the winner until end of the project and order rest of the icons and components designs.

UI structure is as following:
- Menu and Toolbar in the Header.
- Left Column with States Pane and Layers Pane
- Right Column with Library Pane and Configuration Pane which have 3 views for now, probably more in the future, so its better if icons are used instead of texts
- Designer Area in the middle with Tabs and Timelines Pane at the bottom
The default resolution for the design is 1024x768, but should fit nicely in 800x600 or 1280x1024 as well.
