Newcastle_Fox Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 www.w3schools.com is ya friend, doubt u will find anyone prepared to make you a decent website without payment as good ones take time. Learn it and do it yourself!

Stuliasz Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 I'm afraid I haven't got time to build you a web site but I would recommend learning and having a go yourself, a few hints though: 1 - keep it easy on the eye by not using too striking colours, or contrasting colours 2 - do not use flashy animations, scrolling text things like that unless its absolutely necessary 3 - design your site using percentages for width rather than actual pixel size so that it fills any screen resolution, if you find this too difficult go for 800 x 600 as very few people use any less than this now 4 - do not cram your content, leave plenty of space to make it easier to read but not too much 5 - be sure that navigation is easy and simple by making it obvious how to get to any particular area of the site Hope these tips are ok design wise, any questions regarding specific problems coding, feel free to PM me. Sheff.
Katy Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 I built my own website for my business, it does cost me a bit a year though and only have room for one published site or id have a go for you Bedders. might as well plug it whilst im here

BMR Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 have you considered PHP nuke ?, its automatic set up and you can download themes for it and customise it to your tastes. Its easy to update and manage as well, comes with a forum and lots of other blocks you can add on. If you click the foxesworld link in my signiture you will see an example of phpnuke in action.
Bedford Fox Posted 15 September 2005 Author Posted 15 September 2005 cheers! how do i nuke my site! i have a tripod accont if that helps? what host did you use?
BMR Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 cheers! how do i nuke my site! i have a tripod accont if that helps? what host did you use? You need to find a free host that allows php nuke, preferably for installing ease something else called cpanel9 or fantastico, now there is a fantastic forum that can help you with all this:- Freewebspace.net register here and browse the forums to find a host that accepts the above, there are quite a few that do, sign up with the host, install the nuke via c/panel 3 click install, create your superuser account (just like registering on a forum) and thats it viola main bit of the building blocks done, all you got to do is decide on content.

Bedford Fox Posted 15 September 2005 Author Posted 15 September 2005 Im finding it all complicated! i just wanna be able to put the content in! all this installin stuff is not good as it aint my pc.
BMR Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 Im finding it all complicated! i just wanna be able to put the content in! all this installin stuff is not good as it aint my pc. no mate, dont worry, nothing at all is installed on your pc, the phpnuke is installed on your host, in other words your webspace, the cpanel9 will already be installed on your webspace by the host, nothing to put on or affect your own pc
Bedford Fox Posted 15 September 2005 Author Posted 15 September 2005 K so what am i doin on freewebspace.net
BMR Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 K so what am i doin on freewebspace.net finding a host (tripod is crap trust me) that allows phpnuke and has cpanel, you will see loads of thread started on their asking similar, just read em and they will tell you of a current free host that is good
Bedford Fox Posted 15 September 2005 Author Posted 15 September 2005 k! cheers you are proper helping! sorry to be a pain!

BMR Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 i found this but all this lingo confuses me! http://forums.clubhostcity.com/portal.php all i see is the word FREE! but it says summat about know hotmail or yahoo accounts but they are the only accounts i have try a different one mate, for the free hosting on that one you need a domain (ie your own www.whatever.co.uk) the rest of the hosting is ok for what you need, you are on the right track!
Bedford Fox Posted 15 September 2005 Author Posted 15 September 2005 i have a free domain does that help! (.tk)
cisono Posted 15 September 2005 Posted 15 September 2005 You could go for a free template and learn a little HTML to edit it enough to make it suit your purposes? Then plug in the graphics you got done for your site...
Bedford Fox Posted 15 September 2005 Author Posted 15 September 2005 tell me more.... ive done free template sites before but the problem is i want a professinal looking site!
Katy Posted 16 September 2005 Posted 16 September 2005 Not bad Katassi, however i may have a bit of software you may find very useful for building a shop easily and add products in seconds.... take a look at this site.... shopfactory now i have the full developer version of this (579 quid!) but if you pm me i can explain some more... Thanks I use this just our of interest.
