Hi There - Forums Help - vBulletin, IPB, phpBB, SMF skins and community

pharmacist · 07-29-2006, 02:59 AM

This is my first time posting here. You have great skins. I have been invited by you to go to this forum from vbulletin.org. since you are a whiz with graphics, I suppose you can skin portals as well, correct?

I am a pharmacist. I have been testing many portals and of course, I have bought several vbulletin licenses. I have never asked anyone to mod the skin for me before. I am a newbie in web design, learning from the web. I dedicate most of my time after work to learn web design, but somehow it's not enough. I wanted to take web design courses in college but my work won't allow me to since working hours conflict with school.

I have dreamweaver, frontpage, adobe photoshops, flash mx but I don't get to know them all. They're too much for me to learn.

I'll probably let the Pro do it. Please tell me your background. Are you doing graphics only? You can skin portals as well? I have many requests to make, but I would like to know where in terms of your background you're at. Thanks

Hello pharmacist,
First of all I would like to welcome you at Forums Help and to say that I'm glad to have you as a member of our community

As for myself, I'm a mix of web designer and graphic designer. I've been working in this feilds since 1996. Also I'm an award winning graphics designer and I worked for well known firms including LG Electronics.
Here are the things I can do:
- Web design and development using HTML, PHP, mySQL, ASP, Flash, Flash Action Script.
- Graphic design in both 2D and 3D (including illustration and animation)
- Search Engine Optimization.
And yes I can skin portals, websites, GUI and other stuff.

I hope you will enjoy your stay here and please don't hesitate to contact me back for any other details or comments.

can you skin phpfusion portal? If you, we're in business. Here's the link to phpfusion http://www.php-fusion.co.uk/news.php

ForumsHelp · 07-29-2006, 03:44 AM

I didn't skin phpFusion before but I'm sure I can as I skinned other php based CMS like phpNuke, Mambo and Joomla. But it will probably take me more time than the time needed to skin vBulletin, so it will take me upto 10 days to do it.

Please check out my site here http://vnbee.com
I have this site up for about couple months, trying to find the right skin, adding mods...etc..I don't know which theme I like..I am considering modifying the Dimension theme (there are more you can check with the theme switcher..in the middle). What do you think?

ForumsHelp · 07-29-2006, 04:06 AM

I like the skin named F-Liquid but I don't if this suits your site content or not, can you please let me know what your is about?

pharmacist · 07-29-2006, 04:16 AM

Yeah, that's the first skin that I picked when I installed phpfusion. The only problem is that it looks like a gaming skin...doesn't look like a profesional site..if you can modify the header or somewhat make it better. My main goal is to have a site with many forums...ie pharmacy, dentistry, chiropractic...etc under one roof...it's a website providing info to the vietnamese community. I hope you get the point. If I just have a logo and header for pharmacy only then it doesn't say it all since it will including other professions as well (I am providing the forums for other professions if they request). What's your thought?

ForumsHelp · 07-29-2006, 04:24 AM

Maybe I can change the header for you to give it a more professional look. And by that way, you will save the time and the money and you will still have a new look for your site
