Pretty much what the title implies.
I have a fan web site for Univ. Dayton athletics (www.udpride.com) and its mostly a news publishing/forums type of site. We write extensive stories throughout the year on regular home pages and article pages using Coranto, and use vbulletin 3.6.4 for the forums.
Im wanting to port everything to a CMS and run stories through the interface, then support it with the forums themselves from vb along with the goodies vba gives us to wrap the site much better.
Im looking for someone with extensive experience in styles/skins, etc to develop a new site for us utilizing vba with the color schemes and logos we already use, but with some personal flair to make it stand out from the crowd.
Our man goals:
- ability to run articles on home page through vba
- the latest modules and hacks that would be beneficial to support a site such as ours (polls, whos online, RSS feeds from other sites and RSS generation of specific content to broadcast to other sites, possibly a photo back-end to run photo galleries or at the least submit news on the home page with photos/pics.
- id like the thread look and feel jazzed up a bit (more polished), but havent decided on postbit legacy or not.
- you can use all the current images in my images folder from our current vb board unless more need created or they will not work.
Im planning to change web hosts and start the site from scratch, minus importing the database. Im not looking for the world by the hand for $40. Will pay fair price for rendered work.
I could probably do some of this myself with some crash course studying, but Im not a programmer by heart, Im a journalist. And more and more I do not have the time to keep supporting things like the back end of the site.
If no one here has an interest, Id appreciate it if you could point me to a few companies or well respected people familiar with custom vb and vba who can develop the work for me.
Thanks.
