Web page ideas and help

Wednesday, January 21, 2004 by kona0197 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I am being quite serious here so bear with me.

I need 3 things from all of my friends here. Since I have Bicycles on the brain all the time I might as well have a web page devoted to them. not a chessy web page but a professional one with reviews on bikes, produst reviews, forums, ect.

I need help coming up with a good catchy name.

I need help finding a cheap place to register my domain name.

And if anyone has the time and patience, I need help with the web page graphics as i do not know web page coding.

Thank you to all who help out.

www.mocean.com.cn

See that site? Like the design? Its mine and it will soon be replaced by something (terribly ugly ) new design the guy made himself. He is still paying me for coding it and he is paying the old webpage anyway but I probably can give it away. So if you are intrested I will ask it if I can give it away and you can use it. (and yes, for free )

Styl I like that site on the link, a solid start with just a few additions of some bike theme graphics added and it would be fantastic. It is very nice of you to offer it and really good spirited

Kona, I'm not sure why you can not open the link but I will send it to you in IM and see if you can get to it through that. You really do need to get a look at it, I think you will be pleasantly surprised and pleased

Travis's offer is something I would take him up on also if his time permits when it all comes together, more good spirit which reminds me why I really do like this site and the people here.

well this is what i do, so i want to lend a hand.

i started with a dictionary, on bicycle. i got words like "push bike" and "tandem" that sound cool. "pedal" or "chain driven" are nice words that can be put to some cool graphics. "Transport".. "Cycle".. "Cycladic" is cool except it has nothing to do with bikes. "Wide Fat Tires". "Black Rubber Teeth". "Secure The Mountain". "Mounted Trailblazer."

graphic wise, ghost images (semi-trans) of bicycle wheel spokes or a foot on a pedel are nice ideas.. colors - bright, warm.. full saturated red and black and white, or blue and white and black.. or 'ikea' orange and white. nothing dulled out.

i hope that helps get 'yer gears turning.

I was thinking something like sprockets.com (It, and all its derivatives are already taken).

How about BikesBUs.com (available) or Bikes-b-us.com (also available)

Still searching....
