Bangalore: Google is still the leader in search engine market, but in terms of appearance there is a huge difference between Microsoft Bing and the plain-simple Google. Google does make many changes to the homepage during festivals or important news event, but there have not been any major change in the total layout and design. Now WebMynd, a startup that was launched in early 2008, has offered Google a helping hand to make its search engine look better.
WebMynd is launching a contest called RedesignGoogle.com where designers from around the world can submit their work to give Google a makeover. The information on WebMynd blog says "If you're a designer, this is your chance to revamp the most widely used service on the web. Anything that can be manipulating using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be changed with RedesignGoogle. We offer a web-based CSS editor for creating and previewing your designs, but you're free to use your preferred tools." The contest will be judged by Paul Graham, WebMynd team and few others will soon be announced. The winner of the contest gets a new MacBook Air.
Currently, RedesignGoogle is already available for Firefox. RedesignGoogle lets users completely customize the look of Google search by installing user-submitted designs. A stripped-down version of the WebMynd add-on applies user's installed stylesheet whenever they are on a Google search results page.
