Website help

I told you guys a while back that I was going to have to have a website to support my show. It's time to make it! A couple of you have offered to lay the foundation. If the whole thing hits it can become a full paying job to maintain, until then it will be a function of grace.
Are the takers still out there?

I know Rachel had said something about getting it up and running. I will see if she still wants to do something with it. You sent the email, too. So, she should be able to get back to you about it soon. Is this for the thing you just went up to NC for?

ill help. Just provide me with all the content and all the wording and every detail involving laying it out, and provide me with a website link that is similar to the design you want.

I at least may have some free time left at work this summer.

You are aware that webspace and a domain name will cost money.

Jamison has a point. Much leg work will be required by you, sir, before this sucker can be put together. The coding and design are the only part any of us could do. I use Verve Hosting as my host for my domain and web page. $15 to start and $5 per month! You will want to wait till your page is fully constructed and web-worthy before paying the money though.

We can work on teh website all day long without a domain name or webspace. I can just work on it on my computer and save it there, or better yet, save it to my bellsouth webspace FTP. When it is finished is when you need more webspace (that allows MUCH traffic bandwidth) and a domain name...
both are fairly cheap.

cool...Jamison has a great plan. i will try to talk to Rachel about it today and see if she wants to help. Jamison, if you want to do it, go for it. Rachel might just want to help with some design anyway. She has those mad Photoshop skillz.

OK, I'll start a basic design and then send it your way. Can I photoshop something as a template and then have you guys fill in the holes? For instance I'm going to have a few links that will take the viewer to alternate sites like a link to the Grove Park and Biltmore Estate. One of the main links will be the location button under that will for right now only be Grove Park but later it will have all the destinations of the show. Once you click on that button it will bring you the list of holes and basic information on each.

i have photoshop as well as Sip, so send it to either of us.
I have made a website that was nothing but one big photoshop-ed image, with "hotlinks" inside it. It looked awesome... but dial-uppers spent about 2 minutes waiting for it to load...

bigsip said...

I think you can use the "Save for web" option in Photoshop to bring the sizes down a bit, but that might only be for straight images. Anyway, send it on and we can go from there.

OK, Rachel pretty much just wants to help with the prettification aspects, I think. Sounds like it should be a pretty cool site when finished, man!
