Official Luthiers Forum!

Hi everyone

Often when a customer visits your site, they'll gauge the quality of your
instruments and their interest by the professionalism and quality of your
site. It's human nature; we use your site as our cue.

I'm offering a complete website with a management system. I've already
partially developed the site so you can get a good idea of what you'll be
getting, but we'll finalize the design and details when we start working
together (things like colors, the number of sections, and so forth).

Check it out here: http://www.languagepool.net/html

What's a management system? The management system is an interface
that allows you to enter and update all of your content exactly the
same way you would post and edit a message on this forum. Enter or
update your content, click, and it's live on the web with absolutely
nothing else required from you. No programing, uploading, using special
software - nothing. Management systems make managing your site
EASY.

Try it out by visiting: http://www.languagepool.net/admin

I only ask that you type at the end of what's currently there. Once you
enter some new content, go back to the site to check it out. When you
purchase the site, this will of course be password protected and very
secure.

The website itself is an extremely fast site developed with Flash and PHP
using tonewood as background imagery. All of these colors can change
when we work together to finish developing it specially for you - right
now they're really just there to help you see everything layed out. The
number of sections you'll have is completely up to you, but I think it best
to keep it at six or under. We'll work together until everything is just the
way you'd like it (colors, sections, etc).       

The space to the left is meant for images. Detail shots would look great.
So would shots of an entire instrument.      

I want to emphasize how quickly this site loads. As it is right now, the
entire site is 32k. Once it's fully developed I expect it to be around 50k.
That's smaller than a single typical image.     

I'm going to run this like an auction starting at $500 (winner will be the
highest bidder when the swap meet closes). This includes a professional
website, management system, and the design support to develop
everything to your liking/branding. This is a great opportunity to get
away from the DIY look many instrument related sites have and bolster
your market appearance. If you don't build middle of the road
instruments, don't settle for a middle of the road website.James Orr38917.8519791667

$50 bid increment - sorry for forgetting to mention that.James Orr38917.8844097222

Anyone? Come on - I need a new radiator

James,
I like the Idea as my website is pretty amateurish. Your site is indeed nice
and would improve my first impression.
I considered hard... but the wallet is too thin now.

Just wanted to tell you I think it is a good offer and at a good price!
