I enjoy making websites, and I will make a website for anybody here on the forums for FREE, no strings attached, except a small non-linkable piece of text saying "Site Designed by Pyramid Web Studios" I hope a few members are interested in the opportunity. No, I am not insane, it justs helps with my portfolio and experience. Reply on the forums or drop a line to phenom_games@yahoo.com if you are interested (forum post will get a quicker reply)

@Jimmy: Well, I have some samples finished, but I do not have my site up right now because my hosting and domain at fiuz.com have been suspended for a few days until I reset the account, because I am cleaning the whole directory off.

Here is the code for a site I designed in about 20 minutes.



There's no problem so large it can't be solved by killing the user off, deleting their files, closing their account and reporting their REAL earnings to the IRS.

Oh hello C M C, nice of you to join us again.

You should give examples of your work so someone will at least know they'll get a good website.

No Z, not again, we're going to give him the benefit of the doubt this third time, in hopes that everyone can stay calm and maybe he can build someone a website.

PGS,
The template you posted looks alright for 20 minutes work...

But, ( and this is NOT a flame, just a bit of advice ) if your gonna design websites, you also need to be good at graphics, and have a good grasp of graphic design and graphic design concepts

Other than that, I hope you have a good run in designing web pages

Jess.

PS have a look at my site, http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~jessticular/ - It is a simply, yet effective layout with simple, yet again effective colours.
Hope you find inspiration in it.

PGS: Showing HTML code is worthless. HTML code is only meant for structure, the stylesheet and images define the look of the page and you're not showing that to us (which leads to a little skepticism), so I fail to see what you're trying to prove by showing the structure of a page. You should work on your CSS skills (judging by your unhealthy use of tables) some more and try to incorporate more css-based designs into your portfolio. You might find HTML Utopia helpful

hehee @ TCA
I think your suppose to copy&paste it
If you want to be taken seriously about webdesign and such then some examples would be good.

I need some smoe to sort out the dynamics of my site; i've done alot of the coding for it, but I still need alot done and I can't do it whilst working on the artwork for the site as well.

I know the EXACT style, and the EXACT layout of everything.
Basically put i need a mindless grunt who knows his weblanguage to just hack out the raw code for me.
You'll need to understand ASP, DHTML, JavaScript (upto v1.4) as well as how to interact with a MySql database using them.

Having said that I need mindless grunt-work done, thinks like 'news adding forms' and such so I can integrate new news, links, etc... to certain sections of the site without having to hardcode it is essencial. So as I said you'll need to know web-languages quite well.

It will also have to integrate with an clone of MSDN that someone else is working on for my plug-ins and also have a secure area for selective people to access.

Also if you or anyone you know is competant at sorting out online forums, with re-styling and editing them to specific needs that would also be extremely useful.

Right now i don't give a damn who you actually are, if you'll do it free and actually do the work rather than take 3months then tell me you want being paid; then you could be saddam housain doing this from your deathrow laptop for all i care.
I just want my website online.

taables are the only effective way other than frames to align sections of a site. The headings and stuff are all done in the stylesheet, which I will post when I get home.

Tell that to these guys... http://www.csszengarden.com

CSS is a way better was of aligning things, it's 1000% better than tables

heh, I have no problem aligning with tables. But you can definitely do cooler things with CSS. It's more like 600% better

I've been fairly happy with tables. How easy are CSS to use from scratch and how well to other browsers support them?

i agree with JessTicular. That snippet is fine for a 20 minute job but a decent website goes through many changes and a huge amount of work. It is not just html that does it, it is css, server side scripting, images, javascript, css. Take my website for instance, i have worked hard on this for quite some time. It went throughseveral designes as i'm sure JessTicular knows about. The point is, show us some of your work and let us judge it, ten someone might want a design.

This was meant to be taken as constructive critisism

Its not a bug, Its a feature

If we were meant to stay in this reality games would not exist!

ONce you get the hang of CSS it becomes laughably easy to achieve some incredible effects, with very easy to understand code. However, the best bit is that it's so widwely supported by browsers, you can't go wrong much hat all.

I'll post some links tomorrow

PGS: I'm awaiting the stylesheet, so that I can remake your design with a CSS solution. Tables are not the only effective way of aligning content, there are several ways. CSS+Div's can do anything that tables can do, plus more. The only downside with CSS-based designs is that NN4 will butcher it (if you use CSS directly, import url() to grab the CSS and NN4/IE4 will not grab it), but quite frankly, NN4 can burn in hell as far as I'm concerned.

zircher: CSS can be a little tricky when used for complete layouts, if you are unfamiliar with using it for that purpose. If you're just switching from table-based designs then you might get a little frustrated, but it will lead you to the path of salvation.

CSS-based designs are generally smaller in HTML size (90% of the times the HTML is smaller, but in those 10% of cases where it's not the CSS caches better than HTML and will still make the pages generally faster), they are much easier to redesign when the time comes, and you can also take advantage of other CSS features which will allow your pages to be printer-friendly, PDA-friendly, you can even take HTML documentation and turn it into a fullscreen slideshow for browsers like Opera. If you want some examples, I might whip some up.

ReD_EyE: I am making your site right now, should be done in a few days (probably in 2-3 days) with good graphics, I am laying the site out with CSS as the file sizes are much smaller. Also, what should the site title be, and for my project information worksheet, waht is your contact name?

Drum Nology: I would lieka bit more info on what your site should include.

http://www.alistapart.com - some amazing techniques, look under css.

http://www.csszengarden.com - try changing the design. it uses the same HTML, but achieves a completely different look by chaning stylesheet

http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ - many amazing nav bars, all useing a simple <ul> list

The best thing about CSS is that there's design freedom. Whereas in a table you have to think carefully about palcing columns, rows, splitting cells etc. to get groovy looking sites with CSS it's as simple as:



Whereas the code for something similar in tables my be:



Another great feature are the nice borders. Until CSS getting some framed text required some very finicky tables. Now, it's just
