Hi everyone. I was going to go for a custom solution for my website www.footballforums.co.uk. I am however thinking about using vbulletin but was wondering if it has the functions I need. I have had a template designed: photobucket.com/footballforums Would everything you can see on the homepage template be able to be done with Vbulletin? Posting data on the home page, member photos, blog, etc. Is there anything you can see that wouldn't be able to be done? Thanks very much guys in advance!
You would need to know some CSS and HTML for it to work.....Suite has a built in CMS. Hire somebody to do work for you if you don't want to work with the messy stylevars.
Its a great looking design. All of them would be doable with vbulletin. Like ChopSuey said you would need a good deal of knowledge in vbulletin, css, html to accomplish this. Or you can always hire somebody
Thanks for the feedback guys!! How much do you think it would cost to get this coded? I realise it would depend on a number of things, but how much would you expect to pay, or better yet, how much would you charge?!!
there are some websites who does custom vb skins. i think they would be your best choice in this case. you can google to find them.
He means you can click this link ->> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Custom+vBulletin+Skins If you hire somebody, they are really, really costly. About $300-$700 skins. I would never get one of those.
OK. So would an option for me be to use the template I already have for the homepage and then to have a simple design for the forum/blog page? Or should I get the forum pages, etc designed too?
Your homepage is WP. Umm idk about that, you can hire somebody thought that can do it. I wouldn't know.
This is the place you are most likely to find somebody http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30
damn, thanks for trying webcosmo. Do you, or does anyone else know where I can go to discuss the options for getting a VB4 website coded?
Chopsuey, I am definitely thinking about it but I want to see how much it will cost to get everything coded around the homepage template above. Would be nice to get some pre purchase questions asked......
you might find somebody at vbteam.info they wont require you buy it first to ask pricing questions on styling.
