    Looking for someone to build me a website for my local news paper. Nothing too complicated, just something simple like this site http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/

    Can anyone do this?

    My budget is £500

    We also need to upload all previous issues of the news paper and make it so people can search through them. I guess I'll £100 for this extra bit of functionality and maybe 10p per newspaper uploaded (we started in 1965)

    Cheers!

    I'm not a web designer so I can't quote you but on the point of being able to search previous issues

    How frequent are the newspapers? How many articles/pages in them?

    To make them searchable, every article would have to be scanned, OCR'd (to extract the text), corrected and then added. I think you'll be looking at a lot more than 10p an issue if you want someone to do that for you.

    They are, I also do not want an SEO's help or advise as they are sneaky and divisive spammers that actually harm a websites rankings. I've got no evidence to support this, but its scientific fact.

    I want an ethical web designer.

    Try people per hour, I hear they are very good:D

    You dont want to pay more than a quid an hour though. Honestly, coding is easy, my brothers' girlfriend, works with someone, who's Mum's friends' cousin, says anyone can do it..

    Yeah it's funny that..

    I've decided on a link-building strategy.

    I will link out to loads (millions) of websites, then they will notice and feel bad that they are not linking to me, so will add a link.

    I have actually heard that link building idea proposed as a serious strategy today. (Not joking)

    Although they were going to monitor it, and if the sites didn't link back they were going to remove theirs.

    Yes, I've heard all that needs to be done is a simple wordpress template then the back-end is all handled by a "The News" plugin.

    I've realised that the site will contain a lot of content so I will need an easy way to search through it all, if someone could quote me for a simple search engine like this one then that would be great.

    Thanks again!

    You don't need that - press Ctrl-F in your browser for a built in search... if you get the template for your WordPress site right all the content can be on one page - it even highlights the words for you - much cheaper...

    Can do that for £9.50. Can do installments too if that's a bit steep!

    Me, me, me, me, me, I'll do it. Don't believe whateverybody else says though, it's not at all easy. No sir, not easy at all.

    Trust me, I know. I know how to build the bestest website in the world. You'll be higher that No 1 on all search engines everywhere, in every galaxy within 3 days - no, 2 days - no actually, within 20 mins.

    Send me £4,591 and I'll build it. If you don't like it, send me £28,668 and I'll build you another one.

    This is a bargain.

    Cheers
