So lately i've been strongly considering making a pied guys website but my knowledge of web programming is zilch. I'm putting some feelers/ads out for someone to help me set it up but of course if there's any way i could actually work with someone "in the community" as opposed to a total stranger who has no appreciation of the concept that would be the ideal circumstance. I'm struggling financially (which is one of the reasons i want to set up such a site - to generate income since i have no car which keeps me from getting a desperately needed second job) so i can't offer a huge amount though i'm willing to consider options like sharing a certain amount of any profits. (Or of course the added benefit of working with someone within the WAM community would be the fact another form of "payment" would be that they'd have full access to all content without paying anything for it!)
What i'm looking for is someone who can set up something that's photo gallery based - each gallery having a couple free-to-view pics and then the ability to then immediately view the entire gallery after paying via paypal (and hopefully visa/mc as well) Other than that i don't really want a lot of bells and whistles that just make things slower to load or more complex to navigate or use - i like simplicity!
So if anyone out there can do such a thing, please contact me via pm or at pieguyfun@hotmail.com (mention you're from umd) The sooner i can get this off the ground, the better since both me and my family have undergone a lot of recent tragedies and can't go on like my current situation much longer.
While I'm not familiar with creating a pay wall, most website hosting services have drag and drop functionality, which allows you to grab a block from a predetermined list of options and drop them onto your webpage and move them around.
One problem with hostng your own website is the expnse. While it may only cost a couple o bucks per month, you buy several years at a time.
Message me privately, or email me at casting@piersquaredmedia.com and I can get more information about what you want and possibly offer advice about the next step.
