ColorMatic is the newest theme from UBD and Theme Wars. What makes ColorMatic Theme special?

In our humble opinion, ColorMatic Theme is not just a “premium theme” – this would better be classified as a “super premium theme” because of its multiple layout options, font changer, and multi-color picker.

It is SUPER EASY to customize ColorMatic Theme for your needs. You can select from four effective website layouts and use an UNLIMITED number of color combinations!

THIS CONTEST WILL BE RUNNING FROM TODAY (JULY 30th) until AUGUST 10th. The 99designs contest will end sooner, but we will be taking submissions up until the 9th here on our blog.

I’m a Designer… How to I Enter?

Excellent question! All you have to do is check out our contest at 99designs (click here). We have compiled all of the information you need to know in that contest, but you will find it at the bottom of this post, too.

Simply sign up for 99designs (IT’S FREE), enter your design onto that page, and we’ll communicate back and forth in that setting on any changes that are needed or questions that you may have.

Who Votes?

As you submit your design, we will grab a screenshot and display it in the voting post that will be created on Monday, August 3rd. Once the people are done voting on the best theme, we will then pay out the contest money, and you’ll have your design coded and sold to our customers!!!

So… What Are the Specs?

As seen on our 99designs contest:

THIS IS A DESIGN FOR A REAL ESTATE THEME

You may submit as many designs as you’d like to this contest. Each of your submissions will be placed on our site, and voted upon by our users.

We require that the designs you submit be made to our requested spec, and if you win, you submit the design in a well-organized .psd format.

Please pay very close attention to the actual design layout and specs:

Layout:

– 960px TOTAL WIDTH***

– The design should feature a very attractive home page in a “magazine” type layout. Preferably, it should have a large image for a featured real estate listing and its details, and several small areas below the main image for other listings or recent posts.

Elements to Use on Design:

– Header (logo, updates via email, navigation bar, search)
– Main Content (featured listing with big photo, smaller elements such as recent blog posts, recent listings, popular links, etc.)
– Main Content additives ( twitter stream, social elements, about the realtor, etc.)
– Footer (keep it simple, just copyright info and links)

Styling:

It’s up to you, but we recommend blue white and gray for the main color scheme. Look around the web for real estate sites for ideas. Think classy, yet modern, with a focus on the listings and branding for the real estate agent.

MAKE SURE THERE IS SOME REAL WOW FACTOR!

Please don’t hesitate to comment if you have questions!

Sounds Good. Anything Else?

It’s about that easy. Spend a day or two making a design, and potentially wind up with a $149 cash prize and thousands of dollars in your pocket for the year to come.

Who said being a freelance designer doesn’t pay off??

p.s. Just think if you won multiple contests in the weeks and months to come… we’re talking serious income…

Please don’t hesitate to comment or contact us if you have any questions or concerns before you get started!

Theme Wars is all about providing a connection between the brightest design minds in the WordPress field, and connecting them with WordPress users who want an amazing theme.

Our idea for the site was to create a place where WordPress users could vote on the theme designs that they thought were the most outstanding, and we’d build the winners to provide back to the community. This is great for two reasons:

1. The community picks the themes that go for sale, thus giving them more control of the marketplace.
2. The winning designers get up to 25% of sales for the themes they help create.

So, in a nutshell, it’s a win-win for both the designers and the WordPress users!

So, how does the site work?

Every week, we’ll hold a two contests. The first contest will be a large vote between many designs. The top two designs that users vote for will be built into WordPress themes, and they’ll go head to head on our homepage battle.

The second vote will be the head-to-head homepage battle to determine which theme is the #1 pick between its peers. During this voting period, you can purchase either theme being displayed on the homepage battle.

You (the user) can vote on which designs you think are the best, and we’ll code them so you can purchase them. It’s pretty simple, huh?

To put into perspective how awesome this is for designers, too, we’ve come up with a top-5 list to explain:

The Top 5 Reasons to Design for Theme Wars

1. You make money if your design wins the weekly vote.
2. You can build your personal brand through exposure on our site.
3. You can win more than one contest, meaning you’ll have more than one design for sale!
4. You get immediate feedback from the WordPress community on your work. If you don’t win your first contest, you’ll at minimum know why!
5. You’ll connect with other professionals in the industry, furthering your career.

Well, that’s about the gist of the Theme Wars idea. We sincerely hope you enjoy using the site and voting on the best WordPress themes that go to battle!
