Need a volunteer

    I know this may be a longshot, but would anyone be willing to volunteer just a few hours a week to maintaining a website? The website is brand new and will serve as an activist-type community, a revolution for our modern setbacks in the world (economy, politics, education, pollution, etc.) I've already added a template and some information, but I still have a lot of work to do.

    I'm a decent programmer (I can find my way around) and I seem to make things work eventually, but my organisation needs someone to manage the site longterm: someone who's good at web design and computers in general. The person should be at least mildly interested in our organisation's cause. I'd only need you to work on it a few hours per week in your spare time (not all at once, at that), and I'd contact you with weekly updated details (things we need, new ideas) either through email, msn, or even via Digital Point if you want.

    Here's what we have to work with so far: http://www.placitumunion.com/index.html
    Please don't laugh at my work, I did it all over the weekend.:p
    Btw, with that banner, I intend to put a slideshow to the right side. It should look much better than it does now.

    Anyone who's interested, please let me know and we'll go from there. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    Kind regards,
    Brandon Dennis

    P.S. As a bonus, you can use one of our many advertising spaces for your own website(s).:D
    I can't afford to pay a consistent salary on my current income, but as our organisation grows (we receive donations and expand our networking), I will start handing out salaries to our crucial members (executive staff, webmaster, service providers, etc.)

    Hi,

    I'm a Web Designer with 3+ years experience in:

    PHP Application Development (OOP)
    JavaScript (AJAX & Frameworks including; jQuery, Mootools, ExtJS)
    CSS
    XHTML
    MySQL
    Website UI
    Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks
    Apache & PHP
    SEO
    Forum packages(IPB, PHPBB, MYBB, vBulletin..)
    CMS(Open source and Commercial)
    Standards Compliance (Valid CSS and XHTML)

    Although I have never really done anything for free, I may be able to donate some of my time and knowledge to help you with your website. I'm not completely sure how much time I could donate to help with your site but I'm sure I can donate some still.

    I am currently building up my own portfolio of web designs, being a web developer for 3 years and working for a professional company working on high profile designs for government organisations which I cannot sadly name or link you to as most of them were intranets or specifically custom made frameworks for the storage of private files and specific user only access.

    What kind of traffic does your website get daily and weekly? The offer of being able to place an ad on your site sounds appealing.

    Email me with some info to: dwaynecharrington(at)gmail(dot)com
