VanZam Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 May I suggest a total re-design of the site, I hate to say it, but it's not the most beautiful creation. As an example, the main page has over one hundred valadation errors in the markup, and the graphical work is well... non-existant. Just my 2 cents.

poorfarang Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Thaivisa has more then just forums? WOW - I just took a look at the main page. Persoanlly I think you guys are going waaaaayyyy overboard with the ads. They are everywhere and it looks very cluttered. I hope you make some changes to this with the new version. Clickthrough rates might actually go up if you have less ads... So what are you planning for the new site? What kind of new content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantilley Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Also, do you have to use a CMS? Much better results can be created by coding the pages manually and doing it "properly", if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanZam Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Also, do you have to use a CMS? Much better results can be created by coding the pages manually and doing it "properly", if you know what I mean. Dissagree... CMS is the only way you would ever want to manage a large site, coding manual pages is not only a waste of time, but is a messy approach to design. Its far better to have a SQL server backed solution using any number of avaliable software titles(a good, free one being druple). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorfarang Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 *Drupal Yes I agree. Why on earth would you think that manually coding each page is the correct way? Can you imagine a website like yahoo hand coding millions and millions of webpages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 1. -->>> Content manager/web master/PHP programmerTo manage our Typo3 content management system for our main website www.thaivisa.com and related sites. You will add new content, think new content, make banners, buttons and logos. Be able to rewamp and update our travel sites with some professional design and SEO. At least one to two years experience of CMS, PHP and MySQL. Seems to me you might want to break this up into 2-3 positions. Trying to find one person that will think of unique content, write it, proofread it, then add it to the website with professional design and graphics whilst also optimising the pages well for the SEs, and on top of that having 1-2 years programming skills might be a bit much to ask for. Is there any indication as to wages as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 *DrupalYes I agree. Why on earth would you think that manually coding each page is the correct way? Can you imagine a website like yahoo hand coding millions and millions of webpages? CMSs often create very messy and verbose code which can be a nightmare to debug. I'm talking about the off-the-shelf CMSs here by the way - there's no way Yahoo would have been written using one of those. Any site of that size would have it's own, custom made in-house CMS which, sure, is a good way to write a site, rather than these packaged programs or visual programs like Dreamweaver. And hand-coding doesn't mean writing each page individually from scratch, of course not. And, by the way, millions of pages in Yahoo? There's a lot, but surely not that many!

johnwills Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) Also, the other advantage with using a CMS is that you don't need to have any technical experience with HTML etc if you want to update content i.e news items and other text based information. Techies hate doing this kind of work, as it is a waste of their skills. Edited June 18, 2006 by johnwills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 CMS is also very useful if you are several persons on different locations working with the same set of pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyParadise Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) I find that the only people who espouse hand-built sites anymore are old-school web designers who got left behind I can't remember the last site I built that didn't have a cms or blog tool on the backend. Even if it's only a couple of pages, you never know how its going to grow. BP Edited June 21, 2006 by BillyParadise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
