Right well, as I'm the self-proclaimed computer geek, my friends have asked me about creating or finding someone to create a website for their band. They have been around for 3 or 4 years and have played all over the country, and have an upcoming European tour, although they are still quite unknown.
Their budget is also not massive, so approaching a web design company is not really the best approach, so I was wondering if OCUK had any ideas? I am not familar with flash or HTML so I can't do an awful lot, but then again I don't want them to have a generic 'free' design - it needs to be unique. They have been using Facebook/Myspace and it works very well for them, but not everyone uses it... and they want a site to refer people to.
I'm quite a big fan, so ideally I want to help them out, but I'm not sure how. Are there any genuinely good 'website builders' out there, or could I pick up HTML quickly enough to download some sort of design and customise it a bit? The only problem with this is I'd prefer a sort of portal where they can easily login and post news, gigs, etc.
Any ideas?
