Creative Moonfruit Website Award and Thankyou to Twitter, Twitterers and Moonfruiters

By Wendy on Friday, July 17 2009, 16:40 - General chat - Permalink

Following on from the incredible range of creative and humorous responses you sent in, we decided to give out one last prize, an 11th macbook pro for the most creative Moonfruit website. Again the diversity and calibre of the websites produced have been impressive.

Thank you to all Twitterers and Moonfruiters old and new for engaging in this campaign with such enthusiasm, creativity and large injections of humour! We'll continue to chat to you about our new product innovations, things you're up to and interesting design stuff. We'd also like to continue doing a variety of creative projects with you in areas you are passionate about. We have some ideas brewing but if you have any suggestions they would be very welcome!

We'd also like give one big thankyou to Twitter itself. Without their boundary breaking, communication platform, this would not have been possible.

As explained in our previous blog "We'll pick the site that is most true to its stated objective and inspires us as a great example of what a website can do. Build it about something you're passionate about and are interested in."

People put a lot of effort and thought into their sites and to be fair to everyone we thought we should explain the process we've been through to choose the winner(s).

A team of three, Kevin our lead designer, 'Web Guy' Dan and myself sat down and looked through every entry. We then chose our favourite 30 with a bit of wrangling, our top 10 with a lot of arguing and hair pulling and finally we chose a winner ... thankfully unanimously!

Honestly, I gave up after I saw that one. I don't design things in flash so I couldn't keep up. Congrats to Sloorpworld!

O MY GOODNESS - SOMES OF THOSE ARE JUST STUNNING!!

I really loved the "FuseCreations" one - personally thought that should have won!

But as I said they are ALL Beautiful

IF YOU LOVED FUSECREATIONS THEN YOU WILL ALSO LOVE THE ORIGINAL WEBSITE AT http://studio7designs.com/
FUSECREATIONS STOLE THE DESIGN!
IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME, THAT SITE SHOULD NOT BE UP THERE!
OTHER DESIGNERS WORK HARD FOR THINGS LIKE THAT AND THEY CHEATED.

Hey Guys, Just want to say congratz to the winner... Awesome work!!!
Thanks MF for running this comp as an added extra, great looking over all the work submitted.
Thanks for "highly commending" my site, Free moonfruit for one year??? Woohoo!!!
P.s. if you click one of the paper clips on the home page it takes you to a spider page thing, still working on it though.
Thanks again,
All the best

Hi JS,

I'm very sad to hear that fusecreations appears to be a rip off. We will remove it from the winners list while we investigate and speak to the customer. If you can submit a commercial ticket on http://www.moonfruit.com/contact.ht... then I can speak to you directly too to make sure your rights have been protected. Many thanks,

Joe

Dear Moonfruit,

Thank you so much for the commendation and especially for the free moonfruit for a year! I entered for fun and never expected anything in return. It's fair to say I'm chuffed to bits!

Keep up your great work on the products and thanks again

Simon

LOL, no I didn't see that. Nice. Every site needs a secret spider page!
