Integrating systems - Guidance is needed

Hello,

I would like to get some expert help to better understand the right order of tasks I need to do in order to create the site I want.

So to the point..
I would like to have a site which has online game and forum.

facts:
- game is php coded.
- forum will be vBulletin (as for now unless other will be preffered)

my demands for the site:
- one registration for the forum and the game.
- same header for forum and game is wanted (so all will look like one system)

so, what should be done when?
website design first and then coding the PSD?
first coding the PSD or first integrate the forum and game?

well, I will appreciate any help,

Thanks
Kobi

 

my mistake..

title should be : Guidance will be accepted gladly

 

I would go design first ... then code vbulletin so it enters user information in both (game and forum).

 

Hi aljosabre,

so basically the designer create site layout and vbulletin "skin" in PSD and the coder will code it?
simple as that?

 

Yup. That's the way i would do it. Coder just ads few lines of code i.e let's say vbulletin process registration via register.php. Coder will do ...
INSERT INTO game_users (pass,user ....) VALUES ...
And that's about it
