PG_Raptor 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Hey MadJeff, I have a couple questions for you... Whats your experience with webpage design? How hosts this site (like who did you buy the domain name from)? how much of the site was created by that company (like format, pics ideas and such)? I'm just wondering, cause I need to get to work on my own LOMAC website, and I really like the way yours is set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadJeff 3 Posted September 5, 2003 Hey MadJeff, I have a couple questions for you... Sorry, you only get one per day... ;) Whats your experience with webpage design? I've ran several large community websites since, well since the web's been around. I used to run a VGA Planets host site for years, and at one point was the biggest VGAP site on the net. I've done a few smaller business sites as well, but I'm by no means a "professional". As you can tell by the sometimes rough edges on the current site. :D I currently use a open source CMS called Postnuke, although I am in the process of evaluating several other options at this point. I feel we are outgrowing Postnuke and it's just to limiting in regards to how I want to organise and display the content. How hosts this site (like who did you buy the domain name from)? My host is a great company called TurboWeb at www.turboweb.net. They have some great prices and have been really good to work with. I highly recommend them. The domain I purchased before I moved to Turboweb, but they do it all there. Damn, sounded like a commercial... how much of the site was created by that company (like format, pics ideas and such)? None, it's all me, baby. Actually that's not true, Fates has helped out with some of our graphics needs like the top header logo and such. I've been lucky the last few months in gathering some great staff here so I can start focusing on the technical aspects of the site, while they help with the content. We've had some great new additions such as MrMudd and a few others that will be announced in the next week that will really add some depth to our content. Not to mention some great forum staff and my good buddy Fates helping out with whatever is needed. Sorry, got off track there for a minute. So to answer this one, I did the design and CMS install, but Turboweb will do a CMS and forum install as part of their package. I'm just wondering, cause I need to get to work on my own LOMAC website, and I really like the way yours is set up. What?! You have Biohaz, why would you need to do your own LOMAC site? ;) Seriously, if you have any other questions just feel free to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PG_Raptor 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Sorry, you only get one per day... ;) riiiiiiight.... I currently use a open source CMS called Postnuke, although I am in the process of evaluating several other options at this point. I feel we are outgrowing Postnuke and it's just to limiting in regards to how I want to organise and display the content. Postnuke huh? That's a web development program, right? I guess I could look for it on Google and answer the questions myself :D Did you use any HTML or JavaScript, or anythgn like that? Back when I played CFS1, I created a site for my squad using HTML, which I am still quite proud of http://www.geocities.com/pgraptor but I dont think that kind of a setup is what I want to do with my LOMAC site. I think what I really want to do is beyond me and my high schooler income :) Anyways, Thanks for answering. I'll see what I can do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
