Website - City of Heroes Forums

So, for those who didn't see it yet, we (When I say we, I mean Icelander) bought www.bonesquad.com and stuck a place holder up.

Except we have one problem - no one to actually build the website.

We want a pretty good website building, so does anybody have the time and skills to make one for the team?

If you have someone that will supply the graphics, I could throw a site together for you guys. I'm good with coding, not so good with creating graphics.
Let me know.

What exactly are you looking for out of a site bro?

A lot of stuff can be done with portals that associate with a forum. phpBB has a good amount that do both.

Or you can use phpNuke or something similar.....

Again, it depends on what exactly you're looking for. I made this one for my WoW guild.....you won't be able to see a lot of the guild only "perks" but we have something similar to the old Influence Mall based on post numbers....Screen shot galleries, Links, Articles etc...and it's all done with a portal system.

www.fangsofjormungandr.com

Pretty much learned it from scratch, but I can duplicate it for you if you like....with a different "look" as well.

That's a sweet site Arc, nicely done.

I don't think we'll be getting any external forums though, we'll probably be sticking to these here. As far as the site I think we're mainly looking for a flashy, really slick looking site. A sweet looking homepage, a roster page, individual member pages, a Bone Squad history page and possible a Links page. Of course that's just a rough idea, I'm sure alot will be added and taken away from that but you get where I'm going.

Well I've been making a ton of different graphics and icons for our Tempestria website. The majority of these can be found on our forum in this thread.

If I could get a small gif of the skull logo, I can create the menu icons you wanted, Blackbat.

I picked up Dreamweaver and quite frankly, this program rocks. I love playing around with it. So anyway, I did a little rough mock up of my idea for the eventual website.

Here is my idea, I want to create a Flash intro that will basically be a mock login screen for the internal BS server. Any password will work, then it will take you to our main site. I want to have it look like you are remotely connected to the internal Bone Squad server.

Think of Batman's Crey computer, that big ass 10' high super computer he has in the cave, he stores all his nightly activities, all the criminals he fights, all his fellow heroes information, he keeps tabs on the police... you get the picture.

Basically, I want that feel. Now, after having said all that this rough site is FAR from being even close to done, the skeleton is there though. I tried to make it like what you would see on a Security enhanced super computer, with the menus and language. The color need work but quite frankly, I think they represent a Server enviroment pretty well. Plus they are a pain in the ass to edit, but seeing as I've been doing this for exactly 2 hours I'm sure I can figure something out. The babble text are just placeholders and the title headings will be renamed eventually.

So, take a look and give me some feedback.

Well... it looks good, only it seems to be in some language I don't understand.

Blackbat · 06-10-2005, 06:41 AM

Yeah, it's just mindless babble. Not a language at all, just placeholders.

Stan Walker · 06-10-2005, 02:36 PM

looks good keep up the great work

Yin · 06-10-2005, 07:48 PM

Love the idea. I hope this is a success. Keep it up.
