Not a fan of theming wordpress myself. Wordpress is being used to death. Sadly it's the game and gallery that myself (and probably most people here) don't have the skills for. I've seen some nice galleries about but not sure how much flash/javascript code they have behind them.

nonononon, don't theme wordpress.

All you need is a simple CMS so that you can change all the text yourself, a gallery so you can upload and organise images yourself and the flash game embedded in its own page - could also be done in the CMS. That's £700 mates-rates easily

Jasper · 08-02-2008, 18:05

Ulterior motives, anyone?!

I've dropped you a PM, Pheebs, but I've just realised that I have you on MSN so that was probably a bit silly!

While i agree on a no to wordpress i meant for general ease, otherwise i'm sure you know better, as i'm very low on research and actual use of CMS over the last few years...

It should be a case of as mentioned a simple implementation and something installed at the backend to help you keep the gallery and news feeds updated, but it shouldn't have to be at all complicated esp to someone who knows what they re doing (ie. just used it before). Jasper is a good bet i reckon

*Points* (If he has the time).

To be fair, it'd be easier and quicker to implement something bespoke from my PoV because it'll cater for the eventuality that Pheebs wants something totally outlandish that I couldn't begin to imagine how to implement in Joomla! It'll only really need a basic level of content management and a document structure. Should be totally fine

As you can probably guess, I've got time right now!

*kicks self in head*

Wish I'd asked before.

I'll wait and see what Duncan says tomorrow... but to be honest... I'm ready to drop him like hot spuds. (or is it hot cakes? I forget the saying but you know what I mean).

I think I'm going to call him and ask him whether he thinks he has the time to do this (meeting my deadlines). If it's a no, I'll get on to you Jasper and if you're up for some extra dosh I'll pop up, grab some Lozza boobies, then pop to yours and have a chin wag through it all

(Oh, whilst in the area I would obviously have to go abuse Sam's boobs too).

Jasper · 08-02-2008, 19:43

yeah, that's cool

Jasper - I'd just thought I'd let you know that Duncan's got til 12:30 today to respond to my numerous calls, emails and texts... if he doesn't he's dropped and you're on

I will try him again at midday... but I just called his mob and it rang and rang and rang then went to answer phone. Left it five mins, called again and it didn't ring, it just went straight to voicemail. So I'm guessing he's turned his phone off. (I called his home phone too and his parents told me he's in Bridport this weekend where his gf is so I he can't have done any of my website as all his computery gumph is at home.)

*am a little bit angry but mainly disappointed*

*am excited at having Jasper join the team though!

*

Jasper - if he does answer there's still a high possibility I will just say "thank you for your help but I need someone more reliable and that responds quicker" and get rid of him (he's got a looooooot of making up to do if he wants to remain on the job)! So if you're available at somepoint this week I may ask to pop up and say boo and then show you what I had in mind (and then you can say "Doable, but stoopid" and things like that

)

It would probably have to be after tuesday if you could do this week - but I will talk to you about that later!

*big thank you in advance*
