I have together with some other developers from sweden created a CMS (content management system) That is highly flexible and easy to use. We mainly developed this for a Multinational company (I wont mention their name here), and its being used on on 30+ of their websites around the world. This software doesn't work like the other ones you can download for free. They often have many security holes and features you dont need or want. They are also qutie difficult to customize. If you like one or more sites I can help you with this for a fair price. I will help you plan your website and instruct the web designer on how he should do it to optimize it for search engines. I am a very crappy designer my self but i have seen some companies in Pattaya that do pretty good stuff for a low price. I also know many very good web designers in Sweden but they are expensive!

 

The steps you need to take to set this up is the following.

1. Plan your website. What is the purpose of it. What's the goals?

2. Make a mock up of the design.

3. Decide what your content will be, not 100%.

5. Do keywords research, this is also very important. Instead of writing BG its better to write Bar Girl, or Bar Girls in Pattay for example.

6. Hand it over to a web designer. Good looks and communication is very important. It is very important at this stage that you have planed your website well, also how you want to scale it up if its succesful.

 

Now i need to exmplain how the cms work.

 

Now is when we come to the really good part of using this CMS. Im going to use whitehouse.gov as an example.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/

You see you have an header, then 3 columns below that and then a footer.

When you navigate the site you see how the header left column witht he menu and the footer remain while the other two columns change.

The area where these two columns are is what i will refere to as the content area.

Here are some examples

a press release

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/20...5/20080528.html

a news article

http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/globaldiplomacy/

some other kind of page

http://www.whitehouse.gov/ask/

 

The press release page is pretty simple.

Its just 1 column 100% width, filled with text and a picture.

Doing this page in my CMS would take you about 1 minute. Just chose filename , then you build the layout of the page. in this case you just drag and drop a 100% row. Click next. Now you will see that page but empty and with some icons, you click the new icon and choose what you want in this case rich text. Now a wysiwyg editor appears. It looks and works almost identical to ms word. You choose header and type in your text, then paragraph and write the rest of the text. For the picture you just click the picture icon where your cursor is and you picture library will appear, in here you can also upload , crop, scale and rotate pictures. Click your picture and its inserted into the text.

 

Now just click ok and save the page.

 

The news article page

Wow this is a bit more advanced. We got a banner of the president on top and then two collumns with some gradient stuff and a bunch of links in the right one.

This is no problem though. This time you dar in a 100% on top and then a 70/30 row and place it under the 100% row. Click next. For the 100% you just insert that image as explain above.

For the left column you choose your gradient styled rich text column. Add the picture and write the text. for the right column you choose your custom content "pictured links". That would work like choosing a picture and then filling in a box for name and then the link the page. This is a new type of content and it has to be programmed by me. It goes fairly quick to write the things. The good thing is also the designer only want this picture link content type to show up the right columns, and there for you will only be able to add it to one of those columns. This is a good restriction because that will keep the site always looking good and professional, and you don't have to care about design because it has already been taken care of. If you for example need to make something special you can do it in two ways. 1 Bypassing the cms totally, or embedding a file where ever you want. This file can also contain serverside code if you want to enable that.

 

 

7. The html is cut up by me into pieces, for your diffrent types of content types as described above.

8. I put everything together and upload it to your webserver.

9. You create your website... shouldn't take you long, I will assist you aswell.

10. You add or update pages as time goes by.

 

I will put up a demo site for this, in about 2 weeks. The version i have of it is branded with company X.

 

If you are interested send me a PM. I'll come to Pattaya tomorrow or on Thursday and will stay for 2-3 months.

Did you do the website for the Whitehouse?

 

Whats the difference between this and say a word-press site with 4 or 5 html pages?

Hehe no i did do the whitehouse site, just used it as an example.

Well you got more control over your site this way. And its easy to build complex pages without knowing any html , css and it will still look exactly as the designer you paid wanted it to look.

 

Anyway I will put up a demo later.

There's already an example up at tatt2dude.com, I use Joomla and it is a super powerful platform. On the other sites I use word press also free. I pay for install and support but apart from that I can build away to my hearts content at NO COST!

 

Word Press site with 5 pages of html and SEO optimization for around 20k baht.

 

Your selling something that is available for free and re-inventing the wheel is not the excuse to do it.

is the op for real or is he a daemon i ask because he calls himself a daemon and he might be selling something but just what is he selling?
