I am the world's worst web designer. I stink like French women after they eat French cheese in August. But I want a website for the Bhodi Tree Artists Collective. Something that has discussion boards, a place to post images, and maybe a nice looking home page that I can update with news and general happiness. Since I suck, and I know that most of you DON'T suck, I"m willing to pay someone $100.00 (that's right, $100.00, not L100.00!) to build this damn thing for me. I will have design flats ready by the end of next week, and will just need someone to cut them up and code them into a real website. Anyone interested? Either leave me a note here or PM me.
Also, does anyone have some web server space they'd like to give me REAL cheap to host this thing? It won't be a huge resource drain, I'm sure!

Hey Bhodi, I'm VERY interested
 Let's talk about it in more detail. For the record I have a large amount of experience with all sorts of web technologies. I could provide you free hosting if you're willing to have your site hosted in portugal  |

Thanks, Eggy. Actually, I just got a "kick in the butt" private email about having gotten really lazy lately and not doing things like this myself. I used to LOVE learning how to do things on the computer - but lately I've just been farming out the difficult tasks. So, to the person who kicked my butt, thank you!
I think I'll take this one myself. But if anyone still wants to offer simply a home page that I can link a variety of other things to, let me know. Oh, and the new EZBoard for the BTAC, if you'd like to leave us a message, is: http://pub124.ezboard.com/bthebhoditreeartistscollective THanks, Bhodi who is Gettin' Off Her Butt on this one |

Eggy's page is nice but prolly hard to update. My pages would be very easy to update, and I can make them do whatever you need.

Actually I just setup a web page on http://www.ipowerweb.com which offers 100mb space, lots of emails and bandwith for $8 a month. If you are willing to plunk down $100 that might be the best option. Why?
The most amazing control panel I have seen. - LOTS of web page templates that anyone who can post on a forum can create a nice webpage in minutes. - Want a forum of your own? Click a button and enter a master password to go through a setup wizard. - Want a blog? See above. - Want a news front end? See above. Everything I had ever thought 'ooh I should have a webpage that does that some day' was an option to already have go with this service. Web uploads and FTP. I get no commision for this, nor am I affiliated with them in any way except using them to host a site I setup for a business and knowing that as soon as my service gets close to expiring I'm switching to them. Actually the webpage says 800mb hosting right now, not 100. http://www.ipowerweb.com/products/webhosting/index.html _____________________

I can show mine, but the roll-overs don't work unless you're on mac... damn the free Tripod site variables!!!
http://thego-aways.tripod.com (*Ok, I know there is nothing on there except the pretty site-ness, but I just finished it, and my band isn't being VERY cooporative :^p And for the record... I'm still in Web Design school, so... eh... it'll get better, I promise) _____________________

Holy CRAP Ama that looks great....has the price of that kind of service dropped all over or is that just a good deal?
I'm thinking about designing a new webpage (fanpage) myself, maybe I'll go with them... |

I also use ipowerweb. They've improved greatly, and offer a great deal. Mine is about $95 a year -- maybe cuz it's paid in advance(?) so a bit less than $8. I definitely recommend.
Another one I've been testing out is domainnamesanity.com. For $20 you get a domain and a full year of hosting for a small website. The tools are rudimentary, but not bad if you know html. I've been testing it for about 3 weeks now and have no complaints. Their support department is great - same day response and excellent follow through. I asked for a service they don't yet officially offer and they wrote back in an hour and said sure, and set it up immediately. I was impressed. Candie |

Originally posted by Relee Baysklef Eggy's page is nice but prolly hard to update. My pages would be very easy to update, and I can make them do whatever you need. Relee that "page" is a gigantic system that took a team of 5 people 6 months to do and cost the government about $300,000 USD. Everything you see is stored in a RDBMS which is easily editable through a "BackOffice" menu-driven interface coded by us as well. There's two versions, a flash-heavy one where every page is like 2 megs, for the touchscreen app running in the museum, and a lighter one (what you see) made mostly with XSLT. The website and flash apps both parse XML which is auto-generated by ASPs that access the RDBMS, so whenever you play with the pretty menu-driven back-end the results are instantly shown on all the front-ends. Not only is it easy to update, it is trivial to re-use the codebase for other websites. Actually when I left that company they were getting that software to the point where it would automatically generate everything based on the database schema - no back-end configuration necessary. There's no point in arguing anyway, if you read her post you will see she doesnt want anyone to do her web page anymore. |

Eggy's right, I've decided to brush up on my very rusty HTML skills and learn to do the page myself! But you all do great work - thanks for sharing it with us!

hehe Don't worry about it Relee - eggy's long reply also means he isn't going to be able to build a comparable site that is updatable by himself for $100. If he can, someone way overpaid for $300,000 and 5 people working for 6 months.

Oh I wish........
I had have joined SL before I contracted my company website out to two, not one, but two, incompetant web designers in Aus. I can see how clever lots of you people are! Oh, how I have learned the hard way. After spending $3,000 it is now in the hands of another designer, fingers crossed it will but up in 3 weeks after 6 months of utter......not going to say it......bulll! I hope you guys that build sites for people don't treat your customers like Mushrooms! Best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year!  xxx's Huggs, Sky. |
