Anyone needs some webdesign?
I was going to do some webdesign for someone to earn some money in the holidays, but that project apparently got sort of cancelled and it's a bit late to apply for a holiday job now I think, so I'm offering my services again.. See first reply for what I can do. I copied it from the last time I advertised, in case anyone recognizes it.

I already designed something else for someone else, but that has not gone online (yet). I say that for 2 reasons: so you know that I have some experience and so you know that I could show you what I designed before to see how skilled I actually am/was.
I use HTML (+HTML5), CSS and maybe a tiny bit of Javascript, but that would really just be for some tricks. Javascript is by no means something I'm trained at.

For the ones who don't know what that means, it means that I can give you as many pages and as much text as you want, links, navigation through many pages, pictures, external video's (posted on youtube for example), music (never tried that actually but I think so) etc. as well as design it in any way you want with colours, fonts, letter sizes, boxes, background pictures, also making it compatible for smaller(/bigger) devices, making things compatible for different browsers etc.
So far, that's (arguably almost) only static stuff. Pop-ups, special effects and such are on the edge of what I know and don't know right now.
Way beyond that edge is stuff that involves gathering data and such. I could decide to learn that, but I don't have those skills right now. I have the open mind to work around many issues using static features though.
I am willing to learn some other things depending on other factors such as the cause and/or money. Which brings me to another relevant bit...

I like money, but there are things I would probably do for free. I don't commit for free though, so while I would probably work on it and perhaps finish it, I reserve the right to stop at any moment if I find a better way to spend my holiday. I might find myself more eager to continue writing my book, just to name something. Deadlines and such are still good to know, but I won't promise making any of them if I get nothing in return. I might end up considering it a serious commitment nonetheless, but I will try hard not to say so if I do. I just don't want to risk ending up waving unexpected cool events or such goodbye because I'm too busy doing something voluntarily I.committed to.

Nominal fee and I'll treat it like a serious project. Normal fee and you'll have a hard time stopping me from sinking too many hours into it and going for perfection. You don't have to pay for overtime though, unless you want to :)

Like I said though, I'll do some things for free, so even if you don't want to pay me, suggestions/proposals are good.

Hi,
I'm looking to make some changes to my website (webdiplomacy.net maybe you've heard of it?): specifically making the 'Ready' and 'Saved' buttons a little bit further apart for my webdiplomacy games. Is that something you can do free of charge?
steephie22 (182 D(S))
22 Jul 14 UTC
Now it seems the other project is perhaps still happening, hah..
I'm still offering my services though. Enough free time during the holidays for a couple of sites..

@zultar: Several minutes ago I probably would've done it instantly. Now though, I'll keep it in mind. It's something to do when I find myself bored for a while, although I personally think the buttons are kinda perfect right now :-)

Is there a game when you register and log in, Yellowjacket? That sounds like a stupid question but I genuinely don't know.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

I actually want to know the answer to that. The fact that I'm advertising and this is on the second has nothing to do with it..

I may soon also be able to offer cheaper deals in hosting than they do online, because I could host several sites using one relatively cheap package. So if that's something that has your potential interest, send me a PM telling me what you're getting for what price now and I'll tell you when I've got a better deal for you. If someone may have a better deal for me and my client and potential future clients, I'll listen too.
Webdesign offer still stands of course.

You do know there is more to hosting than just the space. There is the bandwidth and a commercial site could exceed whatever your provider is giving you.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
24 Jul 14 UTC
Of course. Still something to look into though, right? Two smaller packages are usually more expensive than one package of twice the size.
Draugnar (0 DX)
24 Jul 14 UTC
Just remember, bandwidth and hardware need to handle the load. A Corvette cost more than two Chevy Cruzes. So if a Cruze will do the job for one, but both are going to need the Corvette, separate is cheaper.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
24 Jul 14 UTC
I understand that, but thanks for the warning.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
25 Jul 14 UTC
So to be clear: I'm talking about packages specifically made to host multiple sites that are cheaper than multiple packages made to host one site.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
25 Jul 14 UTC
I still want to know wether you find a game when you log in to Yellowjacket's game, but more importantly, it's still a good excuse to bump.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Jul 14 UTC
But the package might be intended and priced for 5 site hosting. Then 2 or 3 would lose money.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
25 Jul 14 UTC
Then it's not going to happen of course.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
26 Jul 14 UTC
Still curious and shameless.

29 Jul 14 UTC
The webdesign offer still stands, and in terms of hosting, I can offer you the best deal. Seriously. Show me what you're paying right now, and unless you're paying nothing, I can offer you a better deal.

That's perhaps a bold claim, but it's true.

You should see if Synapse needs help with his site lol
steephie22 (182 D(S))
29 Jul 14 UTC
If he does, my guess would be that he wants it for free, and I'm not doing free projects as long as I have paid projects to work on. I mean, they paid for it, right..
steephie22 (182 D(S))
29 Jul 14 UTC
I could perhaps get him cheaper hosting though. Hmm...
How do I contact SYnapse? :-)

Did you know: The Die Hard movies of Bruce Willis are entirely improvised? The director merely provides a set and some weapons, and some Germans or something, and turns Willis loose in front of the cameras. Bruce Willis was born in Germany and can recognize their accents.

Soaking Mormons
