Title: Website design help
Post by: ledzeppac on January 08 2007, 01:56:08 AM
Hey tards,
 My cousin and I are going to start a business to "try" and earn some extra money.

We were researching domain names and came to the conclusion we have no idea what the hell we are doing.  Godaddy.com seemed like a good source to purchase a domain name and allow them to host, but again we dont know shit.

Basically we need a site that allows us to show products and allow customers to make orders.   How do we start?  Who should we buy the domain name from?  etc...  Any advice would be great.

Thanks
Girth out

check with my dad. He has an online buisness like that.

I remember laughing when I first saw Bumper Nuts....now I see them swinging on the back of an SUV probably once a week. It can be done if you work hard enough at it. I had my (now defunct) website through godaddy and they were pretty easy to deal with....cheap, too. I think I bought my domain name for around $50. It would make an easy site to sell through, but I wasn't able to figure out how to really set the site up how I wanted. You probably know people who are infinitely more computer-smart than me, though. Once you get it started, we need to make a Google Bomb of it. I will be starting soon on a new website and don't really know where to start, either.....as is the case with many endeavors, I will be consulting the Grand Wizard Lynch about it.  

How do I get a shirt?

Phil, you're about as sharp as a marble. Can't find a PM anywhere.

Anyway, both you asshole, I'll be learning to use Flash soon, adding to my arsenal of design skills, which will make other websites tremble before yours. Phil, look on my Myspace page, I know studio photography now too, may come in handy.

Send me a long Myspace message about what you're thinking about, Sylvan. IHADAV8 doesn't notify me when I get PM's. I found another way to do image transfers too. I've been getting nuts creatively lately. I just started on your skeleton thing for your cover too, I intend that to be all ink. But I'm gonna try to make a model too, so we'll see how that goes. As far as web design goes, I know I can do better than average ones, but I'm my own worst critic, so I like to push everything hard, you know?

That skeleton thing has been replanned for the disc image...low-res, so don't kill yourself at it. As for the site, I have only very sketchy/vague ideas and should like to talk tot you in person about it. In NM.

For sure, his lowest price is ten bucks more than the others low price.  But from reading on the web you get what you pay for with webhosting.  Godaddy has recieved shit reviews so I guess its true.

I can work out a 'software package' for you. But it's a pretty intense program, but an industry standard. I'm still working on your designs, I'll just send you sketches first.

and check out Girthclothing. com becuse I finally figured out how to put a picture up,

I asked some guy at school and he was shocked I was trying to use a piece of shit program and didnt blame me for not figuring out how to do it. So he hooked me up with photoshop and dreamweaver 8.  We tried to put illistrator on but it wasnt working.

So now I need to learn how to set up oscommerce and then we will be off and printing shirts.

Like I said if anyone has any idea for products they would like to see shoot me a PM and Ill check it out.
