Help!! I Need Advice On How To Create A Website For A Company by yemipedro(m): 10:19am On Sep 03, 2015
please I need advice, I was given a contract to develop a website for a small rising company, I am good with HTML especially HTML5, I'm still at an amateur level with PHP, and I know how to use third party website developing softwares (wordpress in particular ).
the challenge is that I have a window of about a month to get this up and running. if I decide to use WordPress, I finish it within this time convinently. my partner strongly suggests HTML5 coupled with python.
if we go by his way, we may loose time and the the website appearance might not be as fantastic as what we would have gotten if we used WordPress, and if we use WordPress, I'm aware of its disadvantages.

my problem now is I need advice which to use to get a very professional website and at the same time meet up with time, as well as having a fantastic website appearance.

I'm aware I can can edit the WordPress to suit me since I know about coding, and WordPress is an opensourced software

My assumption:
You took this job knowing fully well that you didn't have the skill set to see it through.

If I am correct:
1) You should have been honest with the person upfront, having (hopefully) obtained the requirements first. I personally have gone through this before. Experience has taught me that the client will have more respect for you this way, than the other way around.

2) Why not employ someone who actually knows what they are doing? You might look at it as spending money but trust me, you will be saving money (and your reputation) in the long run

3) If the company is a "small rising company" as you've stated, I personally can't see how it will take 1 month to implement their site. It would be nice to see the requirements

4) Personally, I am concerned for the success of this project. If I were you I would man up, explain things to the client, apologize and return any deposits/full payments they may have made to you. Again, it's about your reputation. Forget the immediate gratification

Good luck!

i think wordpress will take care of this project of your perfectly well, i have executed big projects with wordpress talk more or this one you said belongs to a small rising company.

i suggest you use wordpress. if the functionality requires another platform them you have to use wordpress and the general portal and link to the required platform that you develop your exculsive features with, at least this will give the site a very beautiful, professional and nice feel and still achieving your features at the same time.

phython is used for special web apps, no need going the hard way if you don't know what to do. since you already have adequate of HTML5 and little of php, you can edit the templates on wordpress to suit the demands both in quality and functionalities being requested from you by the client. just improvise.


hope this helps.

Hello bro, it depends on what qualities your client want the website to have.
You can even use blogger. Buy a business template and boom. It will look professional.
you just play around with the code and add your own features to it.

What are the functions of the website to start with?

You said you're good with HTML5, I suppose bootstrap won't be much of a problem you should be up and going in two days. There are tons of sweet, totally sexy templates, both free and premium that you can easily use for your project and finish it in two, three days. Try http://themeforest.net/ for some really need templates and just google "free bootstrap HTML templates" for free ones.
