Get it Coded - Launched

Discussion in 'Websites' started by XTC, Apr 1, 2008.

    I have launched a new project this is more of a personal project for me but if some of you have dealt with me in the market place you will know I tend to buy lot's of templates but I quite frankly don't have the time to slice and dice themes. So I pay to get that service done but the problem is getting someone to do it in the timeline that I need that project done which is sometimes tough due to your personal timelines.

    I can code PHP no problem and integrate my coding into a pre-sliced theme but again timing to get these projects done is sometimes tough and I need help but posting on 5 different forums and messaging people sometimes dosn't help so I have started a central location.


    Ok so a litle more info

    So I have launched http://getitcoded.net . Get it coded is a place for someone like me to post there requirements for a project they need it to be coded whether it is a simple logo design to a complex CMS. Now the only thing is people bidding on the jobs are required to pay a 1 time initiation fee of $15 but this covers the cost of a 468x60 banner in a permanent rotation and a mini-portfolio for those to showcase their work to potential clients.

    Start Up Contest

    I am having a startup contest for a re-design of the website you can view details here http://forums.getitcoded.net/showthread.php?t=4

    If your a coded, designer or require coding or designing please come on over and get the community started

    Wow $200... a bit low don't you think?

    Especially since you are going to charge for the service.

    I would just use what you got and tweak it a bit to make money then pay someone for the redesign.

    PS: CENTER THAT DANG LAYOUT!

    200 low? Are you nuts? No way I have people in my contacts that only charge $125 and it's top notch designs. It's called incentive to bring people to the site.

    no need to center it as it's gonna be changed anyways but it also catches the eye

    Is there any chance that you could split the award money? I mean I'm really interested in doing the design, but I'm really no good at forum skin, I tend to take a lot of time when it comes to forum skins..

    I would try to match up your forums with the mainsite as the forums look very uninviting to me, too cramped up for my liking.

    Not sure on the overall design of the main site at the moment, a design service site should surely have an awesome design itself.

    I'll bookmark this for future reference though, good luck :)

    I don't think the theme of the forum matches what your looking for. colors, and it seemed squished
