tonyh29 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Need to revamp our Company website a bit (ok a lot) I've started to dabble with it myself but i didn't really plan it through very well and then never really finished it as more pressing matters get in the way. Does anyone have any suggestions on some software I can use to have another go ? I was looking at Joomla as there are templates that I can use and modify or should I move away from PHP ? or should i just pay and get someone in that knows what they are doing ?

limpid Posted May 10, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2012 Joomla or Drupal. I suspect you can get either as an online service if you want to have a play. I can't offer more advice when I have no idea what you use (or want to use) the web site for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 just info about the Company really and our services , only a couple of pages .. We don't rely on the web for business as most Research people would use Industry stuff to find us , but it wouldn't hurt to have something professional looking in place I'm working on a project at the moment and having to email companies all over Europe , I'd imagine the first thing they do after receiving my email asking them if they were interested in bidding on a few hundred K's worth of business was to check out our website to see who we were.... It was the same process of me checking perspective companies out that highlighted that I'd be better off taking our website down than just having it in it's current half finished state :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted May 10, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2012 If it's a professional placeholder then I'd just pay a designer to build it for you. You might find a couple of dozen around this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slovenian Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 i'd use cms (joomla, drupal, worpress etc.) for websites with loads of content, news and articles added daily etc. use html/css for simple web pages. Use google to find some free templates and edit them let me know if you need some help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 It depends how much you want to spend on one really.. If you know someone than can do it then see how much they'd charge but I imagine itd be a few hundred quid or so. But you'd know you'd be getting a solid professional design for that which is worth it. Or if you want to DIY I'd look at Wordpress. Probably the easiest CMS to use personally. Have a look at themeforest.net or wpshower.com . Fairly easy to set up, most come with documentation which helps if you get stuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted May 14, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi Tony, should you decide to pay someone, is it ok if we pitch for all/part of it? Here's our portfolio. Drop me a pm if you think it might be worth exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
