Need new design incorporated into templates
Hi,

Need someone to incorporate a new webdesign into the templates. I am having a hard time, and I know it can't be that difficult. At least I hope not :)

Let me know if you are interested. I will send you the url and you can take a look at it so you can give me an accurate estimate.

thanks,

Do you need all the templates incorportated, or just a few you are having trouble with? If you need all of them done....then I don't think you will get it done for less that $100 by anyone. Its a very time consuming task Frown

Andy is right, it is quite a job. I recently did a set for a 2nd site of mine (which is still not finished) and it took 1 1/2 days.

Andy is good at making templates BTWSmile

Depending on how many templates you need done, I would consider doing it. But, as I said in my previous post, it won't be a cheap project Frown Please email webmaster@ace-installer.com if you would like to discus it further.

Cheers

Hey Andy,

You have done work for me before. In fact you have seen this new design.

I am always happy with your work, well at least so far, so I am not surprised about all the recs for you :)

Sorry to disagree, but updating templates only takes a good two hours if you have a good text editor and use in the include_header files and the set features in GT::Template.

>>>What were you doing that took 1 1/2 Days?! <<<

You were probably only doing the basic templates. I.e;

home.html
category.html
detailed.html
rate.html

And that was probably it...it also depends on what you need in your templates....if its just a plain page, then it will take 2 hours to do the whole set...but if it has a complex design on it, such as ChrisP's one...then its not such an easy task Wink

Hmm. Perhaps, but it's still an awfully long time.

Gio,

Some of the graphics in my templates can take over 4 hours to render, EACHWink How fast are your ray-tracing skills?

How much effort are you putting into your templates and forms, and cgi backing?

I don't think I would want a 2 hour job on my site. Thats my opinion.

Sure, I spend a while designing them, but to actually incorporate them into templates doesn't take that long.

Maybe we're just slow Wink

But IMO, it really depends on how radically different you want to make the templates. It took Vanessa (the same person who did the gossamer site), probably a week to do one product customization.

We're also lumping graphic design, site conceptualization & implementation into the same time frame so that may be why our timeframes are so much larger than yours.

I have found that if you change every template it can take 1 to 3 days without graphics work (to do it right of course).Smile

Do you not do



<%set maintitle = "Hfksdlfsdfj"%>
<%set shownavbar = 1%>
<%include header.html%>

Re: [giovanni] Need new design incorporated into templates In reply to
No because each page needs to be done separately to create a truly custom template set (keyword set) and with additional templates being added, forms created, etc... using bulk replacements would not work for my sites. It may however work well for not so intricate sites with more of a personal use rather than mass appeal.

It is really up to the developer and their intent for their site.Smile
