Making Best Web Page Ever

[theBruiser500]

Hi, just wanted to let all my friends out there know that today I started making what will be, the best web page ever. www.DestinyBoy.com (http://www.DestinyBoy.com) (that refers to me, boy of destiny, it's from Calvin and Hobbes). Isn't much up there yet, but don't worry I will keep you all updated on progress.

[theBruiser500]

What program should I use to do it? Notepad is obviously the best way but since I haven't done HTML in a while it's too time consuming, and frontpage I have to buy. Also, does anyone out there want to make or maintain this site for me? It will be relatively simple.

[rt1]

sounds like you want a content management system (CMS)... look into something like php nuke.

[MarkL444]

get dreamweaver

[asofel]

dreamweaver and php. I'll teach you php for "bridge" lessons.

[swede123]

Just leave it the way it is. Understated. Simple. Yet very classy.

I already know PHP as well as perl and javascript, I was a crack programmer.

[diebitter]

Shame you can't handle HTML then, huh?

[razor]

look into php nuke or DotNetNuke... unless you want to spend hours building your site.

[theBruiser500]

Okay I'll check out Dreamweaver and php nuke, they both sound promising thanks.

Are you serious?

Anyway, I thought there was a free version of Frontpage (like Express or something) that came free with windows. It just wasn't installed by default.

But front page eats. Go steal something else off the 'net.

good start bruiser. now just change everything about it. including the url.

[asofel]

I'm not sure what a "crack" programmer is...contract i assume? And if you knew those languages I would have assumed you'd know dreamweaver...its the definite choice...

[diebitter]

I web-program day-in/day-out. If it's a vanilla .htm page, I use notepad. Everything else that's meant to be an html tool FU your layout by inserting its own crap into it one way or another, unless you are extremely careful not to resize a screen element by mistake etc (unless dreamweaver is radically better than it used to be).

Okay for a one-off design job though.

I hope this turns out somewhere close to how your poker goals from couple years ago turned out /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Inthacup]

Also, does anyone out there want to make or maintain this site for me?

I would LOVE to do this. Gratis, I assume?

For money but if you want to do it for free that is cool too. Edit to add: this is a good way for someone to become my friend. And if you please me by making a good web page I might give you a poker tip.

I have a hard time believing it will be able to compete with www.ZeeJustin.com (http://www.ZeeJustin.com)

People actually buy computer programs? wtf

[theBruiser500]

Does anyone know how much ZJ paid for his site to be designed or why he has that site to begin with? ZJ if you are reading this you are invited to answer that yourself.

[asofel]

bruiser,

talk to http://www.pletch.com/ if you want. his site is one of theirs featured on their main page.

[MonkeeMan]

That looks like a solid start. But I would change the font and color, maybe add some music or a link to hot chicks. But the actual content should not be changed. Ever.

was thebruiser500.org already taken?

YOu are making a site better than www.zombo.com (http://www.zombo.com)? NEVER!!

[asofel]

Right, just saying if you're curious on price you could ask them for a quote.

I know Perl, Java, Javascript, python, C++, Visual Basic, basic, Scheme, html, Assembly, and more.

Never touched dreamweaver.

[asofel]

but have you heard of it?

edit: anyway, my point was that his response made it seem almost like he was annoyed that i'd assume he woudln't know php...and most anyone who's done web programming knows of dreamweaver...

[B Dids]

I believe ZJ has shared what he paid for that site, and since I can't remember where I won't repeat. However, based on what I remember, it was a fuckload more than he should have paid for what he got.

Given the availability of free templates and what not, it's not at all hard to put together a nice site, depending on what you want to do with it.

[1800GAMBLER]

bruiser, you should be making a site about you at myspace.com after match.com went [censored] up.

[Brainwalter]

You have your pants on backward, destiny boy.

[BradleyT]

Just go with a CMS such as DotNetNuke or PHPNuke.

If you need any help or advice, I'm pretty good with the Interweb.

Yes, and if you don't know this, you shouldn't be trying to make websites.

[rusellmj]

Ah, [censored], somebody beat you to it. (http://maddox.xmission.com/)

[Ulysses]

Bruiser,

Maybe you should just put up a myspace.com, livejournal.com, or typepad.com site.
