Anyone need cash for your project?
 
Hello everyone,

Hoping to get some help from a great group of people. Here's my dilemma....I need a PROFESSIONAL looking website built, preferably in MS FrontPage.

I have a sideline company (in addition to my full-time job with Honeywell) that manufactures products for Kawasaki Mule utility vehicles. The company is growing at astonishing rates, and my current website is WAY behind the times, so to speak. I bought a cheesy little "do-it-yourself" software program that has been sufficient, but it is terribly difficult to update. You can see this "masterpiece" at utvproducts.com. I need something that is real, real professional looking and can grab the attention of my customers. 90% of my clients are Kawasaki dealers, and the other 10% are the general public. I'd sure like to increase my retail (public) sales, since the profits are obviously much higher by selling retail. I figured I would ask here on the forums first, before I sought people online and/or in the phone book. I'd be willing to negotiate a fair price for someone to do it, which would in turn, give you some cash-ola for your project :D I am not rich by any means, and I am saving for a QB to finish my -9. So if we could determine a fair price for a fairly simple site (albeit it professional looking), I'd welcome any input/offers. Here are the basic requirements:

* FrontPage as the software. I bought the program and plan to take some classes on it at the local college, to do future site updates.
* Probably 8-9 "pages". One main page, two different pages for our two products, a few additional photo pages, a testimonial page, a contact page, etc. NO advertising by others, and no online credit card / shopping cart stuff.
* I took an HTML class during my undergrad, and man I wish I would have paid more attention! I understand the methodology, but MS Frontpage gives you squat for instructions!
* I can supply high-res photos, our logo (being developed now), etc.

I just want something that when a potential customer sees it, it just "screams professional".

If anyone is interested, please send me a PM. I think it would be a win-win for both of us.

Thanks in advance,

I need some serious web help as well, for my high pressure air services business. I've got a copy of Front Page, what I don't have is time to learn it and rehab my site. I'm willing to pay a decent price for good service.

Greg and Gary,

I sent you both private messages, too.

Front Page is super easy to use. I used to run a website built with Front Page. I think I had over 100 pages in it and lots and lots of pictures. Ah...the memories :)

I built my Webiste using a mask...
 
that I purchased online. I am no computer genius by any means but it wasn't to hard once you get the hang of it. I also use FP to update and add stuff all the time which is easy to do. Not sure how "professional" it looks but I get lots of compliments on it: http://lonestarwatches.com/
There are all different styles available to fit your particular needs, and they are pretty inexpensive.

Try my son
 
Look at www.jasons-professional-graphics.com

He has plenty of examples of sites he has already built that you will be impressed with.

For professional web design he is very reasonable. :)

Only one small glitch...
 
I work for the "Dark Side" aka Microsoft. We have stopped making Frontpage and will eventually stop supporting it. That doesn't mean you can't use it just that it is not very up to date. You might want to ask the developer to consider using Expression Web from Microsoft (it is a very cool tool that automates lots of things that you would have had to do manually in FP. You can even download a free trial.

Cheers,

Bruce

Just wanted to point out that Professional and MS FrontPage are pretty much mutually exclusive. :D
