Ok i was looking at your site, and i felt that it needed a bit of TLC then a major re-do.
So i got to thinking and i thought what could i do to improve the website but not just improve it's looks so heres what ive come up with. Bearling in mind the design is only very basic and i created the design in about 5 mins, the thing which took the most time was the coding system which allows you to do the following:

Admins can post news via their web browser (rather than having to re-code and then re-upload)
Admins can add new users and put them in different categoried from the web-browser
Other clans can challenge you via a page which will automatically email the admin
People can sign up to join the clan via a page and again the admin will automatically be emailed
People can make donations to the clan via the admin section.
Calender
Each member had their own profile for a picture and info etc.
And a few other gizmos.

Heres the link of the test site
TEST SITE

If you like it i can re-design the outsite and send all the files to the admin and explain how it works etc.

tell me what you think???

I would advise that you speak with The Temp (BIATCH-Ho's) as he is already ion charge of designing the new site!

[Rob]

Ok, i didn't realise, i just thought i would show u lot this.

[TheTemp]

Actually, Squee was meant to be doing the site with some help from me.

However, with his Smash Hits tour coming up, and then of course his appearance on MTV's TRL next week promoting his boyband "luvPump" he has not made a start yet and proves difficult to track down.

If the BIATCH forefathers like what you've done mate, then maybe they'll take you up on your services.

[Rob]

Well u seem to be much better at the whole picture etc. creation, so if u want to create the side buttons then it would be a big help. But only if u want to and only if u have enough time. If u don't il have a crack at doing them.

yeah yeah rub it in.

Yeah I was suppose to be redesigning but have been far too busy and will be for the next week or so.

I'll leave this up to the tempy to redesign.

Nice site Rob, thanks for going out of your way to do this. Im liking the clean look, not sure about the baby blue background

I reckon Biatch and Biatch-ho's should use the same style font for the biatch clan tag (lets uses Tempys one for biatch-ho's) as standard for webpages and mechandise.

[phat-ant]

"mechandise." !!!!!!! hehe

nice and clean Rob.

I do like the biatch-hos site alot as well. looks good.

http://www.g0dz.com is my clan site. abit dead on there atm. but hey still ticking over

[TheTemp]

Nice one Ant.

I like the banner at the top, nice touch

[phat-ant]

yer we used to have a pro designer in our clan but well hes off earning money etc.. as are most of the clan! lol
damn real life gets in the way!

to tell you the truth it hasnt been updated for a while.
just updated the forum to use http://www.simplemachines.org/ instead of phpbb. is nice and easy to setup.
too bad our stats are down.
only have one 1.6 server now and well its not really ours just one of the guys from the clan has some boxes in germany so we got some admin at least.
did have a source server no one used it so he killed it :/

oh its a slippery slope when your comunity goes down hill. hehe

any how get making that web site!

[just_hamish]

Nice site Ant mate

And I am loving the HO site Temp, would be good to see the BIATCH site lookin' as good as that in the near future.
I am afraid some of us don't lack the skills for all these fancy sites
With the RIB EYE site we are still stuck in the good old world of preset templates.

Maybe one day...

[phat-ant]

nothing wrong with templates mate. it gets you a presance on the net which is always good.
and I will say you have done it well. its clear and easy to read. makes for bonus in my book

[Snowman]

Top site m8.....makes our biatch site look shite. So whoever is doing it, do it!

Some nice simple but effective layouts.

[TheTemp]

Ok Rob mate, the jobs yours if you want it. Your coding skills are better than mine, and the main site is more tricky, especially with the forum stuff, I can't do skinning.

I will give some design input though mate. I will design some nicer looking buttons for the left column and redesign the banner for the top using the new font and some fancy logo or something keeping it on a similar theme to the HO site for branding etc.

Change the colour though mate it's a bit on your face.

Any particular colour BIATCHES ????

Nice one Rob, good work mate.

[TheTemp]

Ok, i've had a little play this afternoon (ahem) and i've come up with this design.

Just made a few design changes to Rob's already nice site. Changed the buttons, banner and site colour.

View it HERE

See what you think.

Cheers.

[Rob]

The pics don't work on that mate. Ok yeah that sounds excellant, i would love to help you guys out, as soon as Tempy has finished the new banner and side bar buttons, if he could send me them spoon_456@hotmail.com and i will then add them to the site, i will then also change the colour in accordance with what the team wants, and then i can send the files etc. to the clan leader or admin or whatever for him to upload and then i can give him a quick tutorial on how you do everything (the admin section is a bit complicated sometimes) and then we will have a new fully working site. I can repeat the coding for the biatch-hos site and leave the design to tempy to do for that one, but thats up to you lot.

thanks
rob

[Scrappy_doo]

Rob,

I am your man to see for flash buttons!

Check out this website:

www.flashbuttons.com

See any you want and I will get em for you without the crappy (flashbutons advertising on them).

I know the guy who designed the site, and he sorted me out with the free membership!

[TheTemp]

The pics don't work on that mate.

You mean when you click on my link you can't see the whole website?

The new banner and buttons don't show up?

That's weird, i uploaded the whole site. Can anyone else see the new design ok?

Rob mate, i'll send you the new banner, the buttons, and the colour scheme codes for dreamweaver i used. If you're happy with that, then i'm happy mate.

Hold on until the BIATCH give us some feedback though, don't wanna waste time doing a site they aren't happy with

[TheTemp]

Oops,

I realised i didn't upload everything properly

Try again now by clicking HERE

Rob: thanks for taking the load off

Scrappy: Thanks for offering your services, it's appreciated

You've got your own clan to look after though mate, i dunno what you're after

I gotta tell you though mate, I know I'm good looking, but I don't do brown, I'm strictly pink, if you know what I mean

Just kidding, thanks pal. :P

[Snowman]

Hahahaha TheTemp..... Only pot the brown if its someone of the opposite sex.

Guys, love the work you are doing here. All fully appreciated. Nice little community starting up here!

Will have to sort something out as a thank you..

[Rob]

Yeah it's working fine now. They look bloody awsome mate, much better than what i can do!!! So if the clan is all in agreement, then you can send me them and i can then add them and sort out the rest of the stuff so i can then get them asap to the admin. The only snag is that the coding for the pages runs via mysql, if the clan site has a database then i can probably tell the admin how to input the info or get him to send me the info so i can get the scripts to work. If you don't have any mysql databases, or can't be bothered to change it over then i am more than happy to leave them on my mysql database and just send the core files over to the admin so that they work via your site but off my database. (you confused yet??? cus i am lol)

Lovely work Temp!!!!! and thanks for the offer for the flash buttons, but Temp was the original person to work on it, and i think that normal style buttons look just as good if not better than flash (plus flash takes longer for 56kers to load, not that im dissing you if u have 56k but i seriously think you need to upgrade so we can wip your ass on the server you slags!!!! lol)
