Hi. You are reading an archive of the legendary Bullshido forums, from 2002-2020. Please visit our NEW and (arguably) improved forums at https://forums.bullshido.net.
(Or don't, this is just an announcement and nobody's holding a gun to your head.)
Speaking of modelling, flash, etc. My company did NOT do this work...but a designer who now works for me was involved with this project at his old company. Not really the type of site I like but still cool:

Ha !Lol!Graphic design are for losers.I'm training in MCAD be'atch.Much higher tax bracket.
lol, I started all that Graphic Arts stuff in the early 90's when everyone that wanted to be a comic artist was doing the same thing as their "fall back" career. We are indeed a bunch of losers, but there's a special breed that was able to stay ahead of the curve (and I sort of struggled to keep up with those guys), and picked up things like CSS, XHTML, Java, PHP, and the big dog Flash/Actionscript (for designers anyway, the "big dog" for web designers was PHP/ASP/JSP, etc...)
I do have to say I'm so glad that there are still solid reliable and knowledgable companies doing web design like GG's team. It makes me proud that it hasn't all fallen apart when I bailed a few years ago.
Also, It's very cool to see guys like Anthony going out of his way to put the money in the right pockets instead of hiring some dude that picked up a little Web Design skill by browsing the web and veiwing source (which is how I got started as well).
There's still hope for this interweb stuff. I may need to brush off my PHP skills, look into all that crazy Matrix-like stuff GG's doing and start picking up some freelance work again. My Flash and Actionscripting is 1337 (do they still say that 'round here?).
JC's "brighten up his MySpace profile" is the quote of the thread, though.
I'll be shocked if you have PERSONALLY designed anything that looks like that.
I'm not even going to go into details about a site in development that the contract on was
worth more than your wrecked car and "new" car together.
I'll tell you what, since you haven't left the 1/2 dozen times you've promised to and
obviously aren't a man much less a man of your word...your life expectancy would be much
more promising if you stopped running your mouth about shit you know either nothing or a
minimal amount about.
Stop sucking on your parents teat, make a living on your own, then we'll talk.

PS: Why does our old site not validate? Due to the livechat mod we had installed but currently disabled. If you knew anything about code and looked at the source, you'd see that.
Rofl, yes Anthony. Since I have only been doing this for the past 8 years of my life and have 10+ references to my webdesign work for friends and friends of friends. The last of which was updating a website through CSS.
And yes GG, you can. It is how I learned most of what I know, besides high school and college.
And if you want to shell out money to a competent grahpic designer/markup genius go here www.pixelghetto.com
I wouldn't be wasting my time in places like these.
He will provide all you need and for about half of 1500.
2 things stop me from hiring a firm like pixel ghetton.
1. It's recommended by Knightmare
2. I have no history of the company's work, time issues, quality, etc.
Posting on webmaster boards, where I know the designers, or can get info about their work while looking at their portfolios is the quickest way to get my need filled.
As a creature of habit, I network heavily, and it seems my networking in Vegas this past January helped me get one of the best designers for what I need.
While I think you tried to be helpful KM, you came off as a prick.

Let's ee, last 8 years of your life, that would start you off at 11 or 12...
Yeah, okay. Thanks.
The adage, "You get what you pay for", heard of it?
Knightmare (and this isnt' an attack on you)...no one reading w3cschools.org is going to be able to make a professional site template in 5 days with no prior experience. w3schools is great to learn about CSS/XHTML/Programming but it doesn't teach graphic design and for an great website you need both...a programmer and a graphic designer.
Programmers = great working site but it looks like crap
Graphic Desginers = looks great but works like crap.
It's why you need a team and why most one person "web design company's" suck ass. I happen to employ 4 graphic designers and two programmers because of this.
So I'm not quite talking out of my ass =P
GG
You should get new programmers then. Your own website doesn't even validate correctly.....

Also, just go to www.w3schools.org I think it is and read their HTML tutorial. It'll take an hour max and after reading it you can make your own template to your own needs and wants easily.
That's where I learned to web design and build websites.
Or you can do what I used to do. Find a website that closest resembles what you want. Steal their source code Right Click>View Source>Highlight Source>Right Click>Copy and tweak what you want.
He's not looking to brighten up his myspace profile, KM, he's looking to kick ass and fold lettuce.
When he says "Monday" he means it has to look perfect, work perfect, and accept his content with no glitches at 7 am on monday morning, and 19 years and a web tute is not what he's after, unless the guy is a prodigy.
Dilletantism in the tech sector is starting to become a pet peeve of mine. . .also it is http://www.w3schools.com as .org is a link warehouse.
