Looking for Some Help in Completing A Site - 2/7/2009 21:23:43
Good Evening...
I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to help me complete a website or direct me to a REPUTABLE web designer. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
Kindly,
Hannah

(First definitely not volunteering - retired and have no need to work anymore)
Now, I will ask and maybe we can help you out. For example - what do you need help with in completing? I mean, when you say completing, it seems to me that you might have part of it already? Maybe the design in Photoshop and you need someone to get that to a HTML / CSS layout? Or is it no colors and you just need help in getting a specific layout? Or maybe coding a part or two?
Or is it that you need help in doing the website? If you are looking for one, there are hundreds of sites to look for people like getafreelance, etc. Equentity is a web design company. Other forums like SitePoint, Digital Point, WebhostingTalk, iwdn.net - all have places you can post / look for designers. And if this is the case, let us know and we can at least tell you questions to ask, etc.
Take a look also at this website and the signatures. You will find sites like Arizona Web Design etc. Most of the members have been around a long time and might be willing to work with you. Then of course, these people would understand you might want to update your site with FrontPage, so that is a bonus for you.

Thanks Corey,
Site lay out has been basically completed, and has been started in "FrontPage" I am just running into so many problems. When I open the page the entire site seems to left justified, and I need it centered. My banner is off, I need a shopping cart, allot of different things.

Also Corey I am not looking for "volunteers" I am willing to pay someone to help. I just seem to always run into problems as this is my first attempt at a site and have been working on it now for over a year...
Thank you again.

You have quite a bit going on there, that's for sure.
When I look at a site, I go grab the source code and paste it into Expression Web. The first thing I noticed is that you do not have a closing <html> and <body>.
Going to about line 23 - where you start everything:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="826" height="2850">
Nothing in there is centered, etc. You have other elements that you have the property center applied but if you want your website to be centered, you need to start at the beginning. Center a Website in FrontPage might help you out.
If you take advantage of Mike's offer, I am sure he would recommend a complete overhaul. You have a very basic layout but some bloated code. This is not your fault, earlier versions of FrontPage really never did update / delete code all that great and just added more when you added things though the design interface.
As far as a shopping cart, you would need someone with great expertise like Mike because you would want to use a server side language and a database. There are many different carts out there with varying options. Metalinks is an ASP cart with very few pages. Very basic and easy to work with.
If you are wanting to do a lot of this yourself, it probably could be done if you have some understanding of CSS. You basically have a three column layout with a header and footer. You can take a look at Open Web Design for some options / code and google three column layout. Martin Ridgway provided something like that. Then consider using server side includes to help maintain your navigation, header, and footer. (Plus, don't name your images / pages with a space.)
So depending on what you want to do (talking to Mike or others) - or start to focus on it yourself, most of it would be easy - for the basics. Once you start getting into the shopping cart, that's another beast. If you want to do the main site yourself, you can definitely do that. I would recommend considering looking at some CSS layouts and start from there.
