I'm after a web designer to create a brand new website for www.reyland.co.uk

The sections on the site will include:-

Ecommerce for selling all our products
Project Cars
Customers Cars
Multimedia Section
About Us
Contact Us

CMS system to allow me to manage ecommerce store, project cars etc.

A more detailed brief will be provided to any web designers who are interested.

 

i'v got a friend thats been web designing for a while i'll find some links of the stuff he does he posted some up for my cuz, he'll be cheaper than the main stream stuff just depends on what you want from it ect.

 

if you can get him to e-mail me with what he wants the website to do for him etc at peter@spacedogs.co.uk then i can give him a quote. It would be alot less than any agency would make it for ill assure you that.

heres some examples of my work:
http://www.andyallsopp.com/
http://www.silverstarphotographic.co.uk/
http://www.mindlessomission.com/dev (currently in production)

and some of my design work

this is as he posted on my facewank for my cuz gives you the email you'll need to contact him if you like it give me a heads up and i'll let him no your going to contact him and see if the 2 of you can strike a deal.

 

much cheaper if you get it done abroad imho.

this one cost less than £1k www.ndata.biz

not an advert BTW!

 

Yeh I know about getting it done in say India but I'd rather give my dosh to someone here.

 

Worth mentioning any of the following too:

Do you already have most or all of the imagery required (like did fast ford give you a cd when they were taking pictures up at your workshop, do you have originals of artwork for logos, pictures already done of customer cars etc)

Do you already have any form of CMS in place now from which data will need to be migrated or is it greenfield development?

Does it need to intergrate with your ebay shop or will that be handled seperately?

Does the multimedia section just need to link to youtube or will it need streaming from the server?

Do you already have your own hosting, or do you need that to be provided too?

 

Hey Martin,

This post was sent to Twitter and I found this topic from there. (Be prepared, I'm sure a lot of other Freelancers are seeing it as well and will be bombarding this topic with links... you've been warned... )

But I'm going to throw my portfolio into the hat anyways. Haha!

http://www.joshstj.com - I'm experienced in E-Commerce as well as custom built content management systems to fit exactly what you need your website to do. I'm based in Grand Rapids, Michigan - I'm guessing you're not from around that area.

If you don't want to work with someone far away from you, I'd totally recommend checking out http://www.craigslist.org in the computer section of your local city. I know a lot of Freelancers post their portfolios there, and I'd recommend finding a Freelancer and not an agency as previously mentioned.

An agency will just hire someone like me anyways.

Good luck with your site,
JSTJ

 

I'll answer this for Martin

 

well that cost included a CMS and a UK based project manager who simply arranged the labour in Sri lanka. In fact this is what probably happens with your accountant too these days, as well as solictors etc. Possibly the 'UK person' you hire will do this anyway!

 

pm'd

any probs feel free to give me a ring

Cheers

Si off here does websites, and good ones too.

RSTURBOSi from memory?

Benni.

 

Thing is, anyone and their dog can build a webiste, but very few people can build good websites. Mine wasn't the cheapest, but a few e-commerce experts have commented on just how good it is in terms of how it looks and works. Mathew Todd for one

www.pritchards.co.uk. was made by a company called Visualsoft.

Whats your budget Martin?

 

Epic fail at the first hurdle IMHO when the title of the site is "pritchards" when it could have been "pritchards menswear" talk about an SEO fail on the simplest possible thing

Like you said, not everyone is equally good at this stuff, lol

 

Sites only a few weeks old. The SEO optimisation interface, live blog etc is still in development. Should have it Wednesday.

Also got the web address www.pritchards-menswear.co.uk which links.

 

And BTW I in no way think I'm a web expert. I'm new to all this hense why I didn't think about editable meta tags before I launched the site My point was don't take advice about a website from a group of people on a car forum who think you can build a good website for a few hundred quid. Because everyones an expert.

 

Word of advice Martin, get someone local and long standing and make sure you have contract where you have access to everything straight up all files templates and account details just in case. For ecommerce part is actually something anyone can do but how secure will it be? Most banks offering ecommerce back end software and technical support for own business customers its safest way to use banks liability not yours. Beware of freelancers your local council business link will provide you with subsidised web companies whos accredited with relavent standards and insured I had no idea about it until we got stung by cunting freelancers.

 

I think RAN does web development?

 

Rick Astley off here does it
