[login to view URL] is a website dedicated to guitar production behind the Iron Curtain. It exists since 2001. It was the first web resource for information on the subject and still remains popular. It is written in plain old HTML without anything fancy. We need it reworked to fit current web demands. The main task, however, is to make it more admin-friendly.
The site works like this: people send us pictures and stories about guitars\effects\amplifiers and the admin must be able to feed this into the website interface which should generate a new page. There are also several index pages with listings sorted by country, type of guitar\effect etc. Each page also has a thumbnail icon image of the guitar\effect\etc. to make it more recognizable. Until now it was all done manually, and we want it automatic.
There are about 350 html pages now, in case it will be able to grow it will clearly overrun 1000 pretty soon.
The website also had a forum (phpBB2 board) which was hacked, cracked and killed about 8-10 years ago. We have a data backup and if it's possible to resurrect the forum and put the old data back in that'd be awesome. I'm not sure if the site needs phpBB forum, but that forum had lots of interesting and valuable posts. On the other hand, as we're talking vintage guitars , forum is vintage and that may fit the vibe.
There was a modest search engine which we still need.
The website still generates a modest income via Google adSence, and we want it there.
The site doesn't sell anything and does not receive payments. It is not a shop.
Proposals for additional improvements are welcome.
The graphic design should be improved (and enlarged to fit modern resolution), however it's possible to stick to the original design scheme if there will be no better idea. I will prepare logo and some icons in black and white to allow design flexibility with different color schemes.
Most of the content should be organized as separate database entries. Each entry is a page with pictures and text, and the visitors should be able to sort it by country of origin, year, brand etc. The old site had a thumbnail image for each page, and that's something I'd like to keep. Which means there should also be some thumbnail generator.
The website is hosted at [login to view URL], they have lots of applications available and you're free to use them. I have no idea in what language this should be executed and what engine this project requires, make your suggestions.
The site was inactive for several years, this job is by no means urgent. I am also working on far larger projects, so don't expect me to react the same day to anything happening around this website.
The budget is questionable, but I'm opened for suggestions.
Hello,
I am recommending recreating the website using a CMS (Content Management System).
There is no automatic way of adding the information needed for each page but what this does is it automatically generate the pages, What you will need is to input all the necessary information you want, as well as the images and upload a picture of a thumbnail you want.
What happens is that a page is generated as well as a URL for it, a thumbnail is also automatically generated.
You can also choose a category(ies) where that entry would go and entries can be viewed by category.
You mentioned there are roughly about 350 pages now. I can transfer all these using the aforementioned CSS for a minimal additional fee.
As the phpBB software have had several major upgrades to the backup you have, I don't think it would be feasible to include it at this time.
We can discuss this n further detail if you're interested.
Looking forward to getting some feedback from you soon.
