So...anyone good with web pages?

I've been seeing a lot of complaints and so forth about how it is hard for new players to get into PvP.

Since we all know Anet or top name guilds don't really plan on educating the public, I thought I might as well TRY to help out.

I was thinking of making site, on my Chronicles of Garas webcomic (it will be subdomain) that will allow players to send in builds, explain how it works, WHY it works, the strengths, and flaws of said build. The site will be allow others to rate the build, post comments, and so forth.

Problem is, I need someone who can program and someone who can design it. I can only supply a server for it.

Any takers?

well i am great with makin sites (i designed/own www.vgaccess.com ) but i don't work free.

Wow! Another genric templated website. Good job.

.....hmmm, lemme see a site you've made? just because somethin works (like the general layout of site) it doesn't give you the right to insult it. anyway, it's not like i've done any courses or anything....i just do this in my spare time since i still go to skool (i'm only 15....)

Just because you're only 15, and can use a template, doesn't give you the right to claim to be great at making websites. Or even charge for cookiecutter stuff.

WTF? i didn't use a template. i designed it myself. all the graphics were done by me, and i got the RSS feeds working myself, used PHP to manage the site. Don't talk about something you don't know. I've charged for designs/websites before and people are always happy with wat they get.

why not a forum? That will cover everything you need to do and you can set it up yourself with a free one for now. Then, down the road you can look for someone who can help you set up a forum on your website.

The bigger problem is guilds or players revealing successful builds. If they aren't doing it already on the many GW fan websites, why would they do on your site, no matter the format?

I don't mean to beat down your idea, but the last thing you want to do is give a potential opponent information they could use to beat you.

P.S. It's my belief that people get turned off to pvp early in their experience because they don't taste the success of winning often early on. They aren't building confidence from the actual experience, and not everyone knows how to keep the confidence despite losses. They don't see improvement as they go along as positive, they only see losses and think they are not improving.

i can make the graphics for a website as i have been graphic designing for a few years now, i can make the template in photoshop then seperate the slices, but i need someone to string it all together in HTML :?

also, your not legally allowed to sell your products at 15

I'm a web developper myself
Just one think : maybe it's time to stop thinking making a website (a good one, looking pro, well thinking and well done) is a simple thing, it has rules, codes, to-do and not-to-do think, new standarts (css, accessibility...)
anybody can do a web site in 30 minutes, but it will be somme crap
For example, I can make a wood table, but that's not my job, a my wood table will certainely be very ugly and not solid

By the way, I've got a lot of work these days, and I can't help you right now
In a couple of weeks, if you still need a hand, I will be there

Tadaa

Not to mention the nasty pop-up spam.. this is obviously a money making website litterd with adverts. :O


I think the author if this thread might be looking for someone passionate about guildwars and would do something simple and nice for free.. to help!.. and not for your profit making endevours.

well he could of said that. it's not like i started swearing at him saying he should pay me or anything. i ain't a charity worker, deal wit it. and btw, running a website costs money, the ads cover the cost.

nonsense, It costs next to nothing to make and run a website.

you've just seen an opportunity to make some money out of someone who might be non the wiser.

Im sure there is a forum rule against this kind of advertising.

Problem with forums is not everyone sees them, and you can't exactly "search" for a build.

I was thinking of having a website that allows you to look at the archives, then choose a primary profession, which will list the available builds.

I do plan on submitting builds myself, and I do GvG. Not all builds I'll post will be strictly from me

Not. Going. To. Happen.

I'm paying for the server and this is a community project. Mind you, I'm using the bandwidth that is used for my webcomic (http://www.chroniclesofgaras.com).

So if you plan on being a dick, don't join up.

I would show an interest, but I'm guessing you want something with php, and I'm no expert at that. What I do is design simple sites which load fast and are compatible with just about every browser and OS that I can get my hands on.

PM me if you wanna see an example.

btw. Blu Vein, your ip is leading us to a log in screen, I'm reasonably sure that's not where you wanted us.

What I did was get a web host that supports mysql and php and use one of the many out there free php portals. This is also modular so I can add modules to add stuff like calender or other things.

I use Asmallorange as my web host using the 40$ a year package - http://www.asmallorange.com and the portal software I use is Dragonfly http://www.cpgnuke.com -has forum, photo gallery, pm, etc. To see our guild site that I've setup http://www.gw-rotp.com. I did have to alter the theme to get it to match the colors.

You could also use some free forums - http://invisionfree.com/ or http://www.yy2.com/ or http://www.jconserv.net/ but you will get ads.

You could even do Asmallorange and do there autoscripts to install your own phpbb forums, mambo portal, huge list of free stuff out there.

In fact this site uses a paid php / mysql package called vBulletin with modifications done by web developers.

This is not a response to working for you, it's something I wanted to throw out. I do admit I "dabble" with web development but not a web developer as in program code. I can use the portal systems change code for patches and fudge with modules and server settings to get things to work.

It all depends on your level of tech and how far you want to go or just to pay money and farm it out.
