Full website creation ( Contest / Request )

[Starshine]

Since this thread ( CLICK ) has gotten a bit of attention regarding the design and layout of my site, I have decided to make a small contest ( Which I hope is allowed )

Points offered : All my points as of Feb 18th, 2007
Requirement : 4-6 samples of a complete layout / design for an Animal Crossing website that has the A.C. information from Here and here that has a style and look all its own.

Since a few people in the other thread have made suggestions that they could make something better than what is currently set, I have decided to make a small contest and put to vote the 4-6 designs that are submitted here. The winner getting the points. ( Currently at 4000 )

Offer is open till Feb 18th, 2006 when I will set up a poll to decide on the designs offered and pick the winner.

What I don't want : No Joomla. Sorry. I've looked into it, and not interested. But if you can prove and showcase a CMS that will work, then I will consider it. No Nulled Scripts ( Sorry, it violates x10 rules, and would rather not lose my hosting )

Must Have : A message forum, a live-help / e-mail support service, a donation page. ( may add more if needed ), Room for advertisements ( like Google Adsense, or others ) ... Also space for banner rotator / link exchange.

So, all you designers out there ... here's your chance.

Well then. Do you want me to remove mine then StarShine?

 

[Starshine]

No. Go ahead and keep the one there. Gives people an example of one idea. I just hope we get some hits to this. :biggrin:

As in donation page, what do you mean? A paypal donation page?

 

[Starshine]

Paypal, E-gold, etc ... Yes.
I'm working on signing up with a few various payment companies ...

I'm gonna recommend you to use CMS called CMS Made Simple (www.cmsmadesimple.org)

Because, of the CMS software I have seen, it limits you on setting up a navigation section [Extra module to handle menus, which uses (like rest of cms) Smarty features. For example make active item and parent(s) of it bold, different style per level of depth...], has people sign in ( which, honestly I don't need. Sign in for what purpose?) [No login in front site, possible with extra module]

Some more id to hi-light:

* Add pages not show in menu or not seen at all (inactive)
* Uses Smarty template system, that means you can use if and tags like that inside cms
* Custom tags, where you can add your own php in it.
* Caches content, witch makes it faster

Heres a working site running on CMSMS and I'm hosting: habombers.com

I guess you didn't quite read the inital post. I, personally, am not making the website - so recommending a way to make it ... basically falls on deaf ears.

This thread is based from another that Zenax made, and had people saying they could do better. I personally do not like CMS's ... ( I tried Joomla and would prefer not ) ... If you would like to use this CMS you offered and can show me that it can look well doing what I am after ... then I would be happy to take a look at a rough draft of the site and put it in the list of the others to be voted on later.

 

[dest581]

If I have the time, I'll either set up a site on CMSMS, or just plain old Smarty. Just finished working on a very simple layout in Smarty for a game modification site.

I'll see how much time I end up with.

 

[Zenax]

The idea of the website that is being set up, is that it is NOT based on any CMS what so ever. It just needs to be a basic simple website.

 

[Starshine]

I am quite puzzled why I show a website or two that I am wanting to emulate and each person throws Joomla at me, or another CMS type system. But, they just throw the software at me and say that is what I need.

No, what I need is someone to design a website based off the information I have given. Not give me a system and tell me "There ya go" ... If I knew how to do what I wanted, i wouldn't ask.

----------------------

Where are those that said they could do better than the designs Zenax was doing? I created this thread for them. *sighs*

Okay ... I honestly am not trying to be rude ... but do you people just not read the thread or do you just read the thread title and assume what you want when you write your message?

If YOU want to use that software and show me what it can do and how it can look, then great ... otherwise, ( as I state again ) I am not creating my own website, I am offering points to someone that can design me something following the instructions on the first page.

Okay ... I honestly am not trying to be rude ... but do you people just not read the thread or do you just thread the thread title and assume what you want when you write your message?

If YOU want to use that software and show me what it can do and how it can look, then great ... otherwise, ( as I state again ) I am not creating my own website, I am offering points to someone that can design me something following the instructions on the first page.

imho first important is content(management content) and its arrange on site(usability), (visio)ability are the second

 

[Starshine]

Thats great ...So, show me what the software you offered can do and I may be interested, just telling me to use it or try it ... is not the theme of the thread. I am looking for someone that will design a site with the specs I requested.

Please re-read the inital post.
Edit:

my advice
at first you should define what engine to use because at futher you maybe cant apply you existing theme and then you again offer for template + include engine...
simply You now spend points for nothing
---------------------
remember themes or templates are the second!!!!

I guess my message wasn't quite clear. Or I need to ask someone to translate into various languages for me so it comes across a bit clearer than I have tried to write.

What exactly are you not understanding with this thread, 3aKaT? I gave the specifications of the site I am after, I gave links to websites that I would like it based off of ... I offered points for people to give it a shot.

Where is it not clear? I am sorry that I am now short tempered, but I am tired of being told I need to do something or use a certain software or product when that wasn't even the point of the thread.

I will try and make this very clear : DESIGN ME A WEBSITE!!!
Is that clear enough? ... :rant2:

Go away. Next time you post here, I will warn you for spamming my thread. I have made it as clear as possible, and you aren't getting the message.

If I had the money, would I be here posting a thread saying I would pay in points? NO!!! :rant2: ... Unless you are willing to accept the request that was stated in the first post, then please go away.

 

[Chris Z]

Hey StarShine...I think you may be being a little too hard on this guy. He's from Russia so you know, he may not quite understand what the whole theme of it is. Is there anyone else here who is fluent in Russian, as well as English?

 

[Zenax]

Some templates I have downloaded.

http://projectmicah.com/darkened/
http://projectmicah.com/standardized/
http://projectmicah.com/

Those have been downloaded, upon starshines request. I know they don't really follow the layout of http://animalxing.com, but we agree that they look half decent.

Check out, and post oppinion.

Please don't forget, people in the competion of designing a website, that absolutly under no circumstances, is a CMS allowed. It has to be a website, not something based on CMS or whatever ....
