"We need a website"

Right. The web design forum here needs a website, for posting all sorts of advice, links, news etc. A "community" website. It should be interactive and fully display the best of our skills. So:

Coding - Me, cjh and ajh. Basically anyone who can.

Site design and layout - Reaper and Tyla. You guys work together on it. Give me a final layout as a Fireworks file and I'll take it from there

Content - Andy/Bob, and everyone else here

We need some webspace, I'll get some at Freedom2Surf once their servers come back online. They're a very good server for what we want to do. If anyone else wants to help out, that's great.

Any more suggestions would be welcome.

I'll do the manual labour - ie - none.

LOL

Thats a point, Ill think Ill be Managing Director or something, so I can sit back, do nothing, and take all the credit at the end! :-D

That's OK, I really am too busy to get involved in design at the mo...

I'll just wait until you've all finished it and then demand changes (like clients do!)

:D

> Content - Andy/Bob, and EVERYONE ELSE HERE

Looks like you do get to play!

:-D

OK, design and layout...
My freelance rate is £35ph (that isn't a joke btw my clients do actually pay me this for freelancing!!)

Try www.portland.co.uk good free webspace and hosting and full control over the servers including email redirection etc (that's who I tend to use)

Any more suggestions would be welcome.

Ok, here is a suggestion how about having two different websites. One at freeola and also use F2S for anything to do with mysql databases within reason. d:)

But at first we should not buy a domain name incase the website don't take off.

And how about running a seperatle message board, to this place. It could be set up as a software review board. If we go for the right kind of board, like ikonboard 2 they are very easy to modify to how we like it. I should know as I have done this to my own message boards very easily before. d:)

We could also create a database of some kind, where people can download different packages for there websites of which users might have created. Like, there own guest books, search engines etc.

How about creating a beginners guide to website building on a number of subjects? Ranging from creating basic websites to how to set up and configure cgi files on freeola. Or even how to use flash to create simple animations.

And I would not mind helping out with the website. d:)

And how about calling the website the TFI = The Freeola Information But that is just a idea.

... and this company would also be SO AMAZING, that they are willing to give away 3 items of Stock .... EVERY SINGLE DAY.


.... does such a company really exist.... or could it be just a dream??

Why not get a getdotted domain, then unlimited webspace from freeola, that way SR would still like it!

And I bet they would by the most successful games company in the world, they'd be really cheap and would come 2nd place in a consumer retail award, losing only to some site that nobody's heard of and probably cheated.
