Who Needs A Website???

[big_pete]

Ok, so the time has come and i need a new client for my Uni assignment for this semester

i need a company/business or something similar, that is a non-Profit organisation (ie: they dont sell a product or a service) that needs a pretty basic website made for them

oh, and id prefer if it wasnt a Car club as ive already done that for an assignment ;)

so, does anyone need one? or know of any sites that need an upgrade from a business like this?

ANY ideas would be great



thanks

mate if you wanna do any work to help us out it would be greatly appreciated... we have launched www.townsvillesingles.com and could use a hand to make it look a little more professionally done...

Have a look and pass on any recommendations you have otherwise please...

hmm ive just started to do Webpage creation and the internet, and Design and develop websites at CIT (ACT equivalent of TAFE). Havent got into the fun stuff yet but ive done HTML before so looking to expand on that. We have to create our own website eventually but its still only week one.

nice, is that the main course or just a subject?
if your serious about it, the best way to get into it is to buy some Web design magazines with tutorials and things like that in them, they usually cover a good basis of what things you need to learn

My web site needs a redesign, but you already knew that

Actually, unless I hear back soon from the person in charge of the hosting, I'll also need a new host for it...

Nah its two paired subjects. Im doin a Diploma of Information Technology (Software Development). Its something like 22 subjects and ive done 4 onto 5th and 6th subject now. Im doin it part time so depends how much i do. I reckon maybe it will take me 3.5-4yrs to do.

Does it have to be a legit one - if not just make up a non profit org

[big_pete]

as far as i know its got to be legit - which sux

[SpoolMan]

Pete, i just rang my Brother, i thought the old mans could have used a new one but they have been working on it slowly, they have to tidy i up some font and i few other things. but not a bad effort for amateurs.

Does it need to be a full non profit org? or would a business that donates a certain amount of profits to charity also qualify ?

Off topic if i wanted to build a website for myself would frontpage be suitable for a beginer ? I need to upload data from excel and add pics ? and add a credit card / payment system.

In this case i wanted to have a bash myself after 2 sites being built in the last 2 years with the first costing some 40 - 50K and the second still in production and taking ages ( and working with both of these guys ) i see it as a huge waste of good money and ( not personal ) but these guys seem so intent on doing it thier way no matter how many times you ask for things to be done a certain way ( it seems like thier just of in space and they know best without listening to the customer and have found both not to be logical in thier thinking, as they tend not to complete sections before moving on ) , talkin gook and tying to baffle you with so much crap its not funny.

Cheers

Mate if you have a contract drawn up then they are breaching by doin work you havent asked for and not what you want. While it might be true they know best its still not what they are gettin paid for. It should also specify a time period for the work to be completed by and if its taking longer then i wouldnt pay them anymore.
