Hello,

I am seeking to create a guild/clan Everquest II website, and I need a good webmaster to create the skeleton of the site for me. Being able to create your own graphics would be great. I'm not looking to make a real elaborate site though, and I will have example sites you can look at as to how to set up the site. Anyone interested please email me, and vladaar@hotmail.com.

Thanks,

Jim

I have now purchased the domain name.

The site will soon be ready for work.

I guess this is a dead forum now?

Or perhaps webmasters are a scarce commondity nowadays.

Anyway, please email me if your there, I never said I would

ask for service for free.

This forum never has very much activity really... It's been this way as long as I can remember it (many many years). 'But' you'll still get a reply here and there.

In response, actually web creators are a dime a dozen; good ones, however, are hard to find and often already have a project or two under their belt. Not saying, I'm one of those 'good' one's but I currently have 6 web projects plus other stuff that I work on.

So, basically, keep at it, you'll probably get something at some point, that or you could always start learning how to do web stuff in the mean time. Who knows, you might whip up something wicked awesome and won't even need a web person anymore.

aside: ::holds head high for a moment, shakes a fist at corporate firewalls & proxies for causing access issues and reverts to his corporate minion self once again.::

Your right of course. :)

I can make a halfway decent website myself, except

I don't have any software for making graphics, banners,

and that type of thing. Which is really what makes

a website stand out in my opinion. If I could just

trick someone into making me a banner, and doing the

graphic work, I would be set. However, I realize thats

the most time consuming part.

Got it taken care now, thanks.

Behold the free graphical editing solution of the century...MS Paint....

I'm kidding really.

However, GIMP does provide a windows interface for graphic development which is close to equal (some even claim better) than such products as Photoshop and the like. The only downfall that I've found, it does take a bit to learn the quirks of it as well as the fact that you definitely want to save often since it is a bit flakey on windows (at least the last time I ran it it was). The alternatives to this are to find yet another free one (there's others, just don't have links handy) or download a free trail of say PaintShop Pro (JASC) or Photoshop (Adobe) and graphic your heart out until the trial goes bye-bye. Anyhow, few options I thought I'd share with you.

Thanks for the help.

I did try to make my own banners, but the solution hit me on the head like a brick.

EverquestII has their own guild homepages for players that have everything I need. Except using my domain name I purchased. Oh well I'm out 10 bucks there.
