I reccomend www.myxoops.com as she has been very helpful to me as of late.

I am not sure why nobody is replying to you, maybe try Members Lounge as it is more active?

Something I can consider would be a good idea would be a way to display "coupons" or "web specials" etc.

Anything that will handle that?

Ideas are much appreciated, I will work to implement them.

Keep em coming!

I truly desire to be an innovator in "ecommerce" with a hammer as my customers appreciate doing business this way.

Hi there, my main source of income is www.mikeshardwoodfloors.com and I had envisioned becoming the first in my area to utilize and break through on the internet.

I was the first, but in less than a year my competitors have caught up and SURPASSED me in this area of marketing.

Have a click around, what does the site need?

1. Sitemap.

2. Links module.

3. I would like some more "bling" involving the way pictures are shown, there has to be a better way correct? I believe that pictures are the BEST way to showcase my services and its what a customer wants to see.

I would also like analytics installed and some efficiant linking of my own pages together (possible content rewriting involved.)

To make a long post short, if you (or anyone you know) can take charge of this project, visualize it from a contractor/prospective client/web seeker of local info point of view I would be willing to invest in it.

SEO should be considered top priority, along with improve the content (and the way the content is displayed).

Help anyone? I thought of posting this on xoopslance but there is little to no activity there.

I propose to accept bids or pay an hourly rate.

This site is over a year old and was last crawled on august 24th, why could my page rank be zero? (especially since i have been a google adwords customer for over a year).

This is just a "flooring guys" website, how can my competitors be showing up in a search and not me?

I wish that were the case, this website was NOT attacked.

This is just one of many bugs that we have had since she charged us for work that involved her failure to safely switch us to her affiliate hosting company.

I appreciate your advice, but this is like a foreign language to me......ALL work on this website outside of adding, changing blocks and content was done by said designer.

Before hiring her, we had a properly functioning website thats only downfall was it took 2-3 seconds to load. Now it is much faster, but several modules don't work and 8 months of forum use (note: 80 percent of our forum use to that date) were completely wiped out along with many of our users.

We are VERY lucky we have over 600 loyal users that continue to visit and participate, but we are dying fast and this designer will be held to account for it all soon.

That all said, I hope nobody is afraid to work with us: we happily pay fees for work done and I could prove that with well over 1,000.00 in reciepts paid to that designer for constant upsales and "redesigns". (really, how many "themes" do I have to buy before you actually give me one that works?).

We need help, we need it fast, and we would like to build a lasting consulting relationship with a designer at the rate of 20 dollars per hour or flat fee pricing.

When trying to add a link to my website www.midwestwakeboarder.com I get the following error:

Error Code: 0013


ERROR: Could not query the database.
Error: Duplicate entry '0' for key 1

Now due to a horrible unethical designer this is just one of MANY errors I have on my website that I prepaid for these installations.

Does ANYONE have any advice on how I could fix these? I don't program, nor even no how to install a XOOPS module. I hired a designer in good faith to do these things who promptly took my payment and left me with a flawed website and I don't know what to do about it!

I have nearly 700 users who are sick and tired of everything going awry all the time, is there any reputable designers out there that might be willing to work on my site?

Just curious: I have several dumb websites that actually turn a small profit via ppc but never get crawled and never recieve "natural" traffic via search as there is NO content other than the rss script.

I always think that if I had XOOPS as a backdoor, could add some blocks and some articles, I might be able to actually make the sites worthwhile you think?

Would anyone be interested in converting this for a fee?

Sites in question:

Thank god I am back online, thanks to some VERY generous anonymous soul from this message board.....talk about an instant dose of respect for the XOOPS community wow!
