    I have a carpet cleaning business and need a professional looking website put up. Please let me know if you can help. It's a pay job.

    If you want to save money on hosting, Blogger is free and you can customize it to look like a website and not a blog. Only thing you would need to get is a domain name.

    Check out Google Sites. You can make a pretty good site fast and easy, and even get your own domain to point to it if you want.

    i was looking online for some bis cards and went to vistaprint.com you can get everything you need for a new bis threw them and i do mean everything. Plus if you do order anything from them you get a Free website that you can set up and they give you a free domain. Now the free website is only free for a month but then its only 10 bucks a month to keep it up and running. Check it out

    I used Vista Print as well to get some business cards done. They threw in a free stamp with my name and address carved into it. Sweet deal :)

    I have cards,url, and hosting already....Just need a site. I was using wordpress because I thought it was easy...but it turned out to be a bit of a pain in the ass when wanting to add any features.

    What kind of timetable are looking for to get this completed in? I've never been interested in web development myself, but I know an old xen member still that does periodically (Kalien/Anthy from WoW Warsong+ if you recall her). Her schedule is a bit crazy, though I can still ask if you'd like.

    edit: may as well drop a feature list in so people can estimate their ability to work on it, unless youve been doing that in PMs

    What features might be nice is an availability calender, with people able to book an appointment online,supply their phone number and address.


    Another feature would be to have the visitor able to decide how many rooms they want cleaned/furniture.deodorizer,sealant and it to calculate how much their price would be.

    Also,
    A feed of reviews from google,Kudzu,Yelp.

    Sounds like a MySQL job.

    I dabbled in MySQL and learned a bit for fun, but don't know/remember enough to actually pull that off.
