Hi all,
Any of you actually webpage designers? I need to develop something for a book I'm launching (price $0.00 yup) - but don't really have the time nor energy to get it up and learn how to embed all those social media icons and such. I got a site, a name, a joomla, a template and some ideas - and have some modicum of $ for some help. I just need some basic brushstrokes and then I can inout the content and do a bunch of stuff... but the foundations are always a bit tricky.

For my sins, da Interweb is what I do (some of the time).
If you were on Wordpress, I could possibly help. Unfortunately, I steer clear of Joomla... Any reason why you chose it as your CM System? |

Shakuni your website appears to be a template that has default content?? Do you have any websites you can show that you did as a developer?
Free Wordpress, optimized themes ( www.wordpress.org/themes ), are a dime a dozen (paid ones are about $50+). Once it's installed (which takes literally 30 seconds), it's a simple matter to copy and paste content or select the "new" button to create pages and posts. You can literally create a simple website in a couple of hours, short of a shopping cart or having the pictures and text on hand (which most people don't have surprisingly enough, have that ready to go!). Creating Paypal and social media buttons are free downloadable widgets also take two seconds to install. You don't even need to have any coding experience to build or update content. So avoid these trapping when making your decision. I would suggest Dr. to go look at Wordpress themes (free or paid) and pick a style you like. That is the most time consuming task. It takes me longer to pick a theme than to build the site I have been in IT for over 25 years and built many sites. Unless you want to have someone code one from scratch at a much higher cost, you really don't need to go that route, unless you are a big time retailer or business, than absolutely do one from scratch but that's $1,000+. Themes are the more practical approach for most people. A simple 3-4 page site you can have made for $200 - $300. Please look at what others have done with sites they have created. Ask what their level of knowledge is with CCS or style sheet codes and HTML 5. Although you don't need it to build a simple theme site, they should understand it to be able to really customize the theme. Ask how the training hand off will be handled, via skype? basic manual, etc., and if the website person has experience training. Hope that helps everyone who may be considering having a site. BTW, Wordpress is not the only type (some would say not the best, but its good enough). It's just more popular, which is excellent when you need support in the future. Good luck!
