    Hi everyone! Happy Friday!

    Ok. I have been trying to duplicate Brazzers.com It's an adult video site. I have made one but it sucks.. bad. I have never made one like this and need to complete this asap and really Urgently!

    HOW do I go about doing this?

    What is the best editor and program to set one of these up. The site I am trying to make is supposed to be just like theirs but not a pay site, just free with videos and affiliate banners.

    I have been using Frontpage but its not working and I don'tunderstand all the "coding" I am supposed to do? Maybe I am making it harder than it is..?

    Any thoughts/advice HELP would be appreciated. I am prepared to spend the next 48 hours learning and doing to get this out the door by Monday AM.

    Here are the programs I have:
    Photoshop cs3 ( but I am new at it and dont know how to work it yet)
    Frontpage ( yes i know)
    Webplus 7
    Webbuilder 2007
    Topstyle
    and I have Dreamweaver 4? - burried in a box SOMEwhere if I need it.

    I will buy/get whatever I need to be able to do this so - don't hold back, tell me what you would use to make one of these!

    and thanks in advance for your advice.

    W.
    p.s. short cuts/cheats work for me too! :D

    well, you can try reading some good ebooks, there are tons that are free
    also, try to get Dreamweaver CS3, i think its the newest, i dont use it, but people who don't know alot of coding get tons of help from it, i don't know if you will be able to copy the site exactly, i dont kno how much u know.

    Try paying some1 to do it if u font know, there are some people who pay cheap when they are building their portfolio.

    Maybe try customizing a free video script such as http://www.phpmotion.com/ and make it look more like brazzers? I think that'd be easier than trying to code a video site on your own.

    Why duplicate? Just build your own.

    I suppose you could use Wordpress it's easy for begginers..
    If you know a bit you could customize it for Videos so you can post a video instead of an article and this will allow for user comments also and you could install user ratings and top 10 videos, however it's not really for strictly a video site.
    You need to search Google for a free video site script i'm sure there'll be a few out there once you get it up and running it'll be automatic from there on in especially if you are allowing user uploads. The challenge is to find the script and then modify it to your needs.

    Throw all that software away. (Except Photoshop.)
    Go with Drupal or Joomla, and start adding blocks.
