ok well not professional but someone with experiance coding websites that would code this: http://www.ispirit.co.uk/files/inspire.PNG (its not team vanity anymore but nvm that)

for a fee of course, the design and photoshop work can all be done by someone else whos doing it for free

if anyone has the abilities to do this let me know (this isnt against the rules is it? selling a service lol?) if its against the rules then i appologise

This (sub)forum is intended to be solely for the sharing of knowledge and, as such, free of job offers/business promotion - the no buying/selling/trading outside of the member's market rule :). IIRC this largely came from members running webhosting constantly harking their wares and offering 'better' prices causing rifts so it was decided to simply blanket-ban posts involving payment.

ah damn :( can anyone suggest any cheap companys that could code a site like this for a maximum of £150? (i know web coding costs a lot so i probably wont get a lot for that)

i assume people suggesting someone elses services would be aloud? (this is harder than i first thought it'd be)

For that price? Forget it.
 
You will not get that done to a respectable standard for £150.

The layout is quite busy, so will need quite a bit of decent code to get that working properly in all browsers and at todays standard.
 
found someone, the guy who made teamatr.co.uk is cheap, only need the basics so far anyway, the fancy stuff can be done when ive got some proper money to play with :)
 
good luck at getting more than 3 lines of code for that price.

it wouldn't even cover a decent xhtml/css template, let alone the backend.

like someone else said, use some kind of portal/cms software and hack away at an existing template.

no offense but comments like that are a bit annoying, we dont all have £1000s to play with, and a few people have offered to do it for my budget, im not looking for fancy flash stuff, just a simple site i can post news on like www.team-su.com and www.teamatr.co.uk
 
Well, the PNG you posted was quite complex layout wise, so offering £150 to code it all was a bit ambitious.

If you've found a willing coder, that's great. :)

But I wouldn't expect him to code that site at a good standard for such little money. Because depending on his skill, theres a good amount of work there, and he might start thinking "is all this worth 150 quid?"

I hear what you're saying about that we all haven't got cash to splash about, but at the end of the day, good things aint cheap and cheap things aint good.

It's the same thing as walking into a car dealership and saying I want that brand new Audi for £300, and when they say no, you turn round and say "well we can't all afford to pay that much on a car!" etc etc :)

Like I said, there's different strokes for different folks and the marketplaces at WHT for example have plenty of people who'll chop that layout up into a site, although the actual programming behind it would be some sort of CMS system like Joomla etc.

In which case each also has an active community and there must also be people who will template the CMSs which shouldn't be much of a job if they're experienced with the CMS.

Additionally depending on the CMS it might only be tables-based anyway (and normally the coding of these CMS systems is far from perfect) so really you just need someone to do the job, rather than do it to, say, the standard of a business website.

And grr, why am I always talkative when I get back to my computer after a few hours :p

I suppose I'm just high on the fact that no part of my business asploded while I was out :D

no offence but do you have any idea how much a coder costs?

i've been a software engineer for quite some time and i reckon on average i produce less than 60 lines of code a month, documented and debugged. that's like 3 a day, and last time i was working for a consultancy, they were charging me out at £450-500 a day.

like the man said, you're not gonna get what it looks like you're after for the budget you have (not to a pro standard anyhow). on the flip side, you might get something 'good enough' knocked up. just don't be expecting the earth.

not trying to be negative here, just trying to suggest that pro coders time is worth a lot of money.
 
I'm a student so I don't charge very much, usually about £50 per day... so for £150 I could you probably do the CSS/XHTML layout but forget about it actually doing anything, with all those features I'd want at least 10 times that ammount (because it would take ten times as long).

You're probably better off getting an ready made solution. I'm assuming this is a clan site? You can probably find tailored CMS's and then tweak the graphics a bit.
 
i think you all took the word "professional" too seriously :p i did say "well not professional" at the start of the thread

when the sites done ill be sure to ressurect this thread so you can see what i got for my money :)
 
I guess a lot of students wouldnt mind doing it.... if i was doing wed dev i'd be interested as long as I could keep a copy to show as previous work etc etc.
Also, as its a non-business site, the layout would only need to work with IE/FF and the coding wouldnt have to be great... again its not a business site that would have to handle high volumes. Heck, Ive done a few clan sites that have run off Access :p

That worked solely by virtue of the fact that no one visits clan-sites :p

which leads us back to this thread ;)
Access is obviously poop, but one of my sites used to get peak user counts of 100 at a time and the Access databases seemed to cope. Obviously it wasnt 100 active connections but 100 active users. For a lot of sites I'm sure an Access database would be more than adequate... Although it isnt exactly something you'd put on your CV :P
