Hi guys, i coach and play Gridiron in Toowoomba and we've got a new team this year.

We need a website.

If your interested add me to msn ulrik_eriksson@hotmail.com

We're looking for someone with a bit of spare time, possibly does this as a side job from their main work and would like to sponsor our team by creating a website for us, its going to be relatively simple or advanced if you care to express your flair. There wont be much to it due to being a not for profit sports based website. Just a simple news feature etc.

In return we are more than happy to have your link as the main sponsor on our website, which directly relates to your hobby/business etc.

Thanks :)

or if anyone has a template they wouldn't mind sharing, that would work 2 :)

we use these guys.. they are a little pricey but very good

Looks great

Ahh the Cougars, still in last place. It's like old times!

i've been writing for a while now, a cms website for sporting sites. my business model was to give it away for a while to get the name out there, and then maybe just charge for the hosting.

pm me if you want to know more.

Mooby theres already a few of those things.

lol @akqa call

spidz - what competition do you play in? had a quick look at the site, are you playing QAFL 3rds or something? i played for years when i was younger and have been keen to get back into it at some point, is it a more social type comp or is it still pretty intense?

Anyone else?

Pay an indian

Alternatively create a weebly.com page

wordpress.com

or

teamsnap.com


If you want someone to design you a site you should offer SOMETHING at least. I mean do you just put a post up on qgl when you need your house repainted and say they can put a sticker on your letterbox in return?

I was thinking about putting my hand up, but that teamsnap looks pretty good. Keep in mind that hosting fees for sites that let you manage content usually start at around $10/month.

I could do this in just a few hours, my way - I have built hundreds of websites with news posting ability and a few of those have been for sporting organisations, but I would rather drink rum and post on QGL during that time. I have done many free websites and videos over the years. But I am totally bitter about it, anytime I have done free work I have been treated like s***, like my time is worth nothing. I have been asked to do things over and over again simply because it was free to do so, I've been given source materials that took several weeks to sort through (like 35 hours of video), I have worked on things at night for weeks only to get them rejected and asked to do something different. Hey it's not costing anybody anything - why not!
And then a couple years later I see one of such 'clients' advertise a paid job on Seek, and they don't even respond to my application - meanwhile their first two major projects were only possible thanks to my volunteering and dedication to complete it.
And if you announce to one of these freeloaders that you no longer want to work on further projects for free - they do not comprehend this, and continually hassle you for more. It's like people who want it for free live in a dream world where they don't understand people have lives that must go on. I had this one a****** turn up to my real job to hassle me for more free work, and then when the business moved he kept ringing my boss and hassling him! How f***ing embarrassing for me.
I would rather spend a few days making a website about why I don't want to make you a free website.

^^ Looks like you need some client managment skills. But yeah, you do get alot of clients wanting "more". I dont do free work - but this is different. This is user feed back on a product i want to take to market, so im happy to get some "friendly" clients on board.

Mooby theres already a few of those things.

, yeah, i've been looking at a few too. but they all seem to do 90% out the box.

need some client managment skills

If I tell someone I refuse to do any more free work and they stalk me to my place of employment which is 2 hours away from where they live - do you think this is a client that can be 'managed' ? When they wander into my house at 9 oclock at night and sit on my bed when I'm taking a s***, do you think I have failed in my business skills somehow?? When you say "no" to someone repeatedly and they just ignore it - what the hell else can you do? Shoot them?

I don't have this problem with paying clients. If they want something, I tell them how much it will cost, and then they don't want it anymore.

My lesson learned is not to do any free work. People that expect something for free seem very mentally challenged in the way they deal with others.

Obviously your not the type of person i was looking for, re read my original post thanks.

Secondly - if you were the kind of person i was looking for you would see that its not just nothing that is offered in return.

Eye of the beholder :)

Sucks to be treated the way they did, im a fair bit more mature and professional than that.

bittah.
give them an inch, they take a mile, but.

Well i managed to find a decent host and some easy website tools provided, about 2 hours later i have a decent website :D Didn't cost too much to register a domain name through them either, was very quick and simple - US$19.95 / year.

All i need is a forum. I got no idea where to start and its not provided at all as part of their tools.

Is it possible? i am going through http://www.yola.com/

my website is http://www.toowoombawolves.com leave some feedback if you like, i would greatly appreciate it! (no I'm not chasing hits on the site cause it doesn't mean s*** to me).
