Hey XDA,
As the title states, I need to build a Website, but I don't have any idea's of how I want it to look. At least I want it to have a luxury and modern look to it. It can be written in any language, but I think I'll go with HTML5.
If you guys have a cool concept, please share it with me! (I also need a subject for my site )
Use WordPress with a theme of your choice. Subject: Open source software.

Hi fellas
I have a windows mobile site 1800PocketPC.com, its just over a year old. I was wondering if you guys have heard of it ?
We usually post about freewares and the latest hardware news about windows mobile. We dont have a forum for people to hang out coz we think as long as xda-devs and ppcgeeks are there why would anyone need a forum for windows mobile. I was hoping to get some constructive criticism about the site and ways we can improve the site.
You can also subscribe to our RSS ot Twitter
I know your site for some time and it´s very good, I like the format (exept for a narrower line of adds on the right)
Congrats!
I go all the time
I really like the site,
only thing is you could be be a little bit more "selective" or "picky"
At least what I think this could be "Pearls and beauty" of xda-developers.com for the average guy.
- I really like the category style!
- The Wallpaper stuff: Naaaahh I think you will catch some fishes with this but is it really needed? I think it makes the site look a bit cheap.
- RSS and twitter is great: every Headline was a hit so far (well some exeptions but I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder).
- Customisable rss and twitter by categorys and user would be the ultimate I think (but this would almost need the power of a socialnetwork)
- You are already on the top scores of google! (at least when I search for something)
- You can discover the real beauty of google translator when visiting your site Microfi Nitrogen -> Microfi Stickstoff (Germans get the joke)
but besides of the jokes it can be really usefull.
- I can´t test right now but have you checked "freedom from barriers"? The new "touchscreen generation" of phones might be great for handicapped persons. Would also be great to have a rating system for them as well.
So far really great
THX for this site
thanks for the kind words fellas.
@ moesfeld : Customisable rss and twitter by categorys is a great idea, I will look in to getting it done in the near future.
I am in the dark about "freedom from barriers" , do you have any links from where I can read more regarding this ?
Hi sajio,
You have really done a great job with the site, i actually am now quite addicted to your site to catch on the software which i miss on XDA. So keep up the good work and i hope with all the frequent updates and personal attention, you have made it full of valuable resources. What i think is keep your site fresh alway like you do now, and you would not need anything additional.
Regards
Sharif Ansari

Well it pretty much depends on what cms you use. Many have the "accessability for disabled" already inbuild.
I found the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Also I found the Web Accessibility Toolbar that lets you check if you meet the guidelines.
I know your site a while ago, and I like very much.
Keep it up
I go there @ll the time nice job!
thanks guys
i love it and subscribe to rss for it. thanks for you hard work.
you are welcome
I'm Searching for TORRENT for leSscro WP7 theme,
since he claims what he takes from people is DONATIONS then his theme is FREE, then its not Piracy so, dose anyone have a torrent for it
-------------------
P.S not meaning to couse any problems, if Mods think its inapporptiet feel free to delete this
! wait till this thread becomes a crap of useless insults and arguments !
to clarify:
donations are not requirement. ask author to provide theme in his thread. if he does not than he needs to remove donation and ask for a fee to be able to get theme.
having said this only reply if you are posting theme or you are theme author and have problem with this request.
oh, Mods closed his thread already coz for him donations are requirements lol, but he still claims its donation, so...
maybe someone can PM me a link to that theme...
from what i understand his latest theme is FREE < http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662034 >
what is not free is the application you need to run the theme, (Throttle Launcher)
you need to buy a license to be able to fully utilize this application.
however, there is a FREE license you can use for some time (but not for long)
i'm saying this out of experience. i have tried both the theme and the app.
at the moment i was not satisfied due to some lags.
but in fairness, it is still in beta, i believe.
somebody correct me if i'm wrong, please

LoL, No.
Lesscro uses WAD2; his theme is not posted here in XDA. He had a thread and it was closed, exactly because he was asking for "mandatory donations". He now has his own little forum and shares his development with those interested in donating to him.
With regards to a torrent not being pyracy; I am afraid that is incorrect. Lesscro is the copyright holder; therefore, you need his pemission to do a copy of his theme. End of the story.
@biernes
You linked to Arley12's work. His theme is for free. Furthermore, Throttle Launcher is for free as well. However, the author of TL allows users to donate and rewards them with a full licence if they do so.
I hope this provides some clarity.
yes
i use his theme is kinda cool... is just a theme, if you want WAD cracked or so... go and search dont ask here for that...
mods...

"Lesscro is the copyright holder" NOT TRUE if we need to be honest the copyright holder is Microsoft so if we think like that.. Lesscro need also to ask Microsoft can he create Theme like this.. and even to Pay a license.. all this with this theme.. look for me funny its like
I download from some pirat sites MP3 songs for free and then im selling them in my site and pretend you need to pay for the license.. here in XDA 90% of the things are Microsoft Copy Right Ideas etc...
lol! i got it all mixed up. my bad

Ignorance is a bliss.
Microsoft holds the copyright to the Metro UI, both on the front of the design of the UI and the underlying code. Just so you know, copyright does not protect ideas but only the expression of those idea.
Lesscro coded his own theme, thus owns the copyright to his code; no infringement there.
With regards to the interface, Obviously Lesscro's work is not a copy of the Metro UI...Metro UI is not even COMPLETE. Lesscro merely took inspiration from what has been displayed so far by Microsoft. This is not sufficient to render his theme a derivative work; his theme is definitely an independent creation. As such he does not need a licence.
The only real problematic aspect would be the use of Microsoft's trade marks, in Lesscro's theme. But you didn't even think about that.
I am going to stop discussing this with you. No point in debating IP law on the internet.
alright someone reported a complaint about this thread so i am going to close it but before i do so i will reiterate a point about copyright, donations, and torrents:
yes any work created in expressed form is copyright where as the idea is what can be patented.
secondly the term donation is used for voluntary giving of money so you can't distribute copyright work under "forced donations". if you want to charge a monetary sum for your copyright work than you need to state it as a usage fee or something of that nature NOT donation. i understand the creator of the theme has already had action taken against him for requiring "forced donations" as there is no such thing; due to this he now distributes his theme through different channels.
third seeking torrent for stuff that is distributed under donation basis i.e. payment is not required is not illegal. requesting a torrent of a software that is distributed without requesting money and only donations is perfectly legal.
i will take up any arguments responses on my profile page as long as there is intelligent reasoning used as a basis.
Hey-
A friend of mine wants to build a website for his small business. He has a domain name registered and he has a host. He just needs to build the site. He asked me if I could help/knew of any good programs that help make the job easier.
Neither of us have much code writing experience, but we both have a lot of experience using computers at a higher level than the "norm".
He would prefer something he could run on his linux box, but would settle for something on Windows XP.
Any suggestions?
Hi, i would use: Microsoft Expressions 3
another good program is: Serif Webplus X2 / X4
wordpress is also an option it's easy for users to update themselves even if they are not
good at html or j-scripts and php
Thanks for the responses guys! We will take a look at those programs. I have heard good things about wordpress for us html deprived folk that have good overall skills. It looks like a good match to me(free, easy, good support community and powerful enough for what we are doing). Of course, we are going to take a look at the other suggestions, Expressions 3 is something I am familiar with, but we are not looking to spend any money if possible (not pros, just helping a friend). Not real familiar with Serif other than I know the name and I know it is a solid option.
If you go to
Students4Software you can get:
Microsoft Expressions Studio 3 for £20 / 50
all ligit
I'd look at e107.
It's a bit technical to setup, but there's a wiki and a IRC Channel, for help.
Requires, virtually no coding (unless you need to fix bugs), and offers a lot of features.

Well it all depends on the complexity of the website in question. Is it mostly just content or will you need database interactions involved? Will the site have a member base?
If it's just mostly content, any html editor (Visual Web Developer, Dreamweaver) should work. IF you are needing a more complex solution it's best to get a book and learn ASP.NET or PHP.. Cheaper then paying someone! =)
depends on what you want .. Wordpress is a great choice for blogs .. Drupal / Joomla if you are after a CMS.

not legit if your not a student, luckily im a student so can use that but if your not a student you don't have a right to use that site, and as a matter of fact u can get expressions studio free (if your a student) from the dreamspark project.
I am looking for a good source on how to begin building/designing a website for my fraternity. I figured I would ask xda because many of you are quite technologically skilled. Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you for all of your input.
http://lifehacker.com/#!5753625/basics-of-photoshop-designing-a-website
is a decent guide to designing a website in photoshop. After you go through that, you'll want to learn how to slice up the design. From there, grab dreamweaver and mess around with it. Use dreamweaver and tables to put the sliced images into a website.
What type of site do you want to make?
I agree with naxir in that the first step is trying to design a website in photoshop. However, once you have a working mockup, you can either: 1) make it yourself or 2) hire someone else to do it.
Personally, I don't like putting time into coding a website and would prefer paying someone else money to do so. I'm sure there would be some students who would work on your site for free/cheap to help build up any portfolio they need.
A little more info on what you want in that website. Just some pages with info, pictures, a contact form... Or a complete database with all members and such?
I am building it with a database in mind for currently active members of the fraternity. I just want it to have a few pages, for example, a page about us, current members, a calendar page, and a page with picture gallery. Just a basic website. No flashy things, nothing extreme, just an informative website.
All you need is notepad.exe
I loved this site WAY back in the day as a resource when I couldn't figure out how to do something. This has everything from starting HTML to advanced scripting.
