Web Site Creation

[Dokeman]

I have a computer store and need to make a web site for it. I dont need anything special, Its just people come into a computer store and expect you to have a web site. I need to know where to get started. i have frontpage 2000 it that will work,unless theres a better proggie. I dont know HTML and dont have a lot of time to spend working on it. I have a domain name registered and have a server to put it on, i just need to make it. Where should i get started. I would like to use a program that has some pretty good templates and some good pictures already in it because i dont want (or really know how or have time) to make Logos and stuff like that. Do you know if any sites with templates or images i can download and use. i dont want it to look cheesy like some geocities and homestead sites, but i do want it to be basic and simple. Just tel what we do, locatins nd directions, how much we charge and stuff like that.

I may not be as experienced as some, but the more websites I build the more experience I get.

Hey I'm game also for makin a new site.. I'll tell u somethin tho.. I do all my work with MS Front Page .. It's ALMOST IDIOT proof...
Sounds to me that you could even pick and choose the page you like from all the responses you have gotten

[Dokeman]

this is the email i sent to edewlly:

Thanks for you help top start with..

I just want something small, mostly for ease of updating since i dont really have a lot of time to play with it. What i would like to have is something with about 4-6 pages and have our logo at the top of each. The name of the business is Oconee computer Center and our sign out front is in big red letters so i would like to stick with that. I basically want the site so i will have something to put on my business cards. I hust needs to tell about us and what we do. Say a page for that, then one that has our location with directions and a little about us. Then mabey another page with what kind of specials we have at the moment and our standard prices. I would also like to have a place to put some pictures. (I have a really cool emachines eOne that i turned into a planter-the imac clone) Mabey another page that has some of our used stuff. I would alos like to put some prices for some other stuff like routers and modems and sound cards and stuff like that. The truth i!
s i really dont know what i want. I have never done a web site before and dont really know where to start. So things that i have seen that i would like to incorporate onto my page are things like pop up windows for some of our specials and the same background that doesnt scrool when you scroll down the page. (you know what i mean?) also i like the way some site have links to the other parts of their sites on the left side of the page that also scrolls down when you do?

Any suggestions?

You want a layout to follow... I find http://www.tcwo.com to be nice, clean, simple, ... yet effective.

well I have a few designs in mind if you want I can mabye put one or two up on the internet to show you.

Would like like a more graphical website or not so graphical website. Either way I will try and come up with something for you today.

I am not good at logo's but I will have a go for you.

also need full details of your company etc

what is the name of your computer company.
What Pages do you want, how many, look at my personal website http://www.samcolebatch.com still in progress...)
Might give you a few ideas.

My latest design if you are wondering is http://tpc.samcolebatch.com
Not completely finished as we are waiting on some stuff being brought in from the states as we don't have the info yet....

I really dont know what i want. Its one of those things that anything will probably work.

Heres some basic info:

Company Name: Oconee Computer Center
Address: 1720 Epps Bridge Rd., Ste #403
Telephone #: 706-227-9666
FAX: 706 369 0550
email: mdoke@bellsouth.net
after i get the site up im gonna set up and exchange server and a domain and all those goodies to get the mdoke@oconeecomputer.com
Domain name: www.oconeecomputer.com

Also, here are some other things i would like on my site.

Currently we have a Special runnig for a budget computer.
its a :
Duron 800mhz
128mb RAM
56K modum
NIC
20 gig
keyboard,mouse,speakers
17" monitor

Upgrade to 256mb RAM for 29.99

Also avaliable with DVD and/or CD-RW!

I would also like to put that we install, configure, and trouble shoot networks and servers and stuff like that
* also put that we have wireless networks*

I would also like virus removal mentioned

Ummm.. we buy, sell and trade used computers and equiment.

Custom Built systems
Upgrades

We do mostly everything that any other computer shop does.

Lets also do our hourly rates. $45/hour in shop $75/hour onsite

Clearance Specials

Cant think of anything else right now... fi any questions email is
mdoke@bellsouth.net

[rh71]

Another suggestion is that you will need images (& thumbnails) of these products (and specials) you have... it's not required, but it helps to make it look more like a true website, as opposed to something that someone just slapped together in 5 minutes. You can even swipe some small images off another computer site (or the products' sites) if you need... obviously people don't go around creating their own images of products already out there.

[Dokeman]

yeah, thats probably what ill do. i want to take a few shots of the store and stuff and put those up as well

[killmaster]

hey rh71


you want to work together on this one. You make the graphics and I make the layout.

thanks
