ThinkQuest inspires students to think, connect, create, and share. Students work in teams to build innovative and educational websites to share with the world. Along the way, they learn research, writing, teamwork, and technology skills and compete for exciting prizes.

Sponsored by the Oracle Education Foundation, the competition offers a unique project-based learning experience to students and teachers across the globe. Everybody wins by having their completed websites published in the ThinkQuest Library, a rich online resource visited by millions monthly.

With an annual competition, it's never too late to join the 30,000+ students worldwide who have participated since 1996. Start thinking…

Multilpe Auto Parts Website Templates Needed. $2000 total payout!!

Description From Original Site:

This is a project I have been looking to complete for some time but was not really sure how to go about it. I have come up with this solution so I can see the artistic style of the developer before agreeing to have all 10 done. The main challenge will be providing sites that dont have the same 'look' but still are basically similar from a code standpoint.

I intend to take the template and provide all of the backend programming with PHP and Mysql. The way I have always had these designed was to have a basic index.html (supplied by the developer) page that I can split into a header.html and footer.html. The header would have everything up to an open tag and then the footer would have the closing so I can put anything I want int the middle and it would all look fine.

Some example sites we use right now that have this concept in place:

http://tinyurl.com/yoe58z
http://tinyurl.com/yssyln
http://tinyurl.com/yun4mm

Each of these sites have an open region with table columns on LH and RH to supply advertising space. The footer will have a basic sitemap.

Each site will have the following:

Home - Simply put the home page link
Parts Search - A page where we have a parts request form
Parts Directory - A place where we can put partners
Auto Parts - Place to put previous parts requests
About Us - Page to describe our business
Contact - Contact page


Each site will have the same purpose but will be targeting different keywords/parts we supply. The concept is we get visitors to the site(s), they can then submit a part request that comes to our company databaseor they will be supplied a phone number. We are a supplier of used OEM auto parts nationwide.

The site that can be used for the template will be iusedautoparts.com which the 'i' stands for 'internet'.

In the event you do not want multiple sites to code please do not enter anything as I dont want to deal with multiple people throughout the design of the other sites. If I have a close tie I might have 1 do 5 and another do 5 and award $1000 to each.

I stay pretty busy but will do my best to offer feedback once a day.

Thanks and have fun!
