Webdesign contests does not include coding. You can use photoshop or illustrator to create your layout. Everything must be layered and well prepared for CH to code later. Its better to use © images and its up to CH to buy them or not (this is not your responsibility).

You only need to design your best layout.

Maybe any Admin can complete this information for you =)
Good luck

These are all questions that should be asked to the contest holder by using the comment box in the contest. You can also find answers to the questions by reading the contest brief

hi sharie,
I started it as a thread because i dont want to get any infractions if the brief lacks clarity about things like backgrounds etc .I would like to know why are we getting infractions when we use black backgrounds even when the CH likes the design (though they dont mention any specific choice in their briefs).
and secondly weather this rules applies for all kinds of design categories(webdesign, logo, brochure etc).

Infractions happen when the client doesn't ask for a background, our rules are no backgrounds unless requested by the contest holder. As far as other types of contests besides logos background rules still apply. We do have exceptions so remember to read the brief and the comments from the contestholder
