Hello Project Owner,
Please confirm one thing - the current budget is for designing home page only or it includes all the inner pages.
Regards
Jack

The homepage 'wins' the project, but the winning designer will need to do the inner pages.

Hello project owner, I know you have given designers the freedom to choose colours; however, often times there are certain colours that clients don't like or prefer over others. So I just want to know if there are particular colours that you wouldn't love to see in the designs.

I think the colours need to be corporate and given that it's about cloud and software, then I would expect whites/greys/blues and perhaps one accent colour to draw attention?

I am sorry, the client is being really slow in getting back feedback, should be hearing on Monday.
