Any writers and website designer geeks out there?

New Writer's Website, friends and geeks wanted

Don't know if anyone can help but I have an idea for a website that would be very relevant to the writers here and doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

I am reluctant to say too much in case someone copies it before I've had a chance to set it up but am interested to know if anyone on here has any experience with site design and programming to lend a hand. I have some basic knowledge myself but nowhere near enough for what I have in mind.

Sorry to be so mysterious but I am just testing the waters at the moment.

Edited to add:
In case you are wondering why I come here to ask this I have several stories on Lit under a different profile. Lauren or manu if you read this I'd be interested to hear from you too.

Got some professional experience with web design and web CMS (content management system). If you want some advice, I'll see what I can offer. And I can assure yiou that I don't have the time to steal your idea, however great it is. I don't even have time to write stories anymore.

So send me a PM if you want to.

If I recognise your nick and you want details I'm happy to post you some more information. I already have to Liar.

A Beta version of the Site is up and running. I will (hopefully) post a link as soon as I've heard back from Laurel, or if you are impatient PM me for it.

 

[SFwriter]

OK I freely admit it, I'm impatient. 3 days and no reply yet. I'm sitting in a website all on my own. I don't want to spread the word outside of Lit yet because, possibly foolishly, I trust the opinions of the kind of people who come here, so I would like to hear from a few of you before I let the world in.

I feel like I'm sitting waiting for a dance.

hit me with it

I am pretty busy at the moment but opinions are free (still).

What is it about?

I'm not a writer, but I am a website designer and programmer. If you want suggestions such as the best way to handle certain events on your website, you can PM me. I'm not interested in stealing ideas as I have quite a few of my own that are in a completely different direction.

Ditto - I don't even update my own websites anymore, and I have about 5 new ideas a day, one of these days...

Be happy to evaluate and make suggestions however.

Oh Laurel I miss you
I'd happily kiss you
If you'd just be the Miss who
Would just let me post...

My unworthy website
Waiting to be put right
By writers and such-like
That hang in your web.

Every day I log on
And my face grows long
As I pray for just one
Simple message from you.

Please forgive my poor rhyme
No talent but more time
Brain cells are in decline
Please answer your mail.

I tried to post an ad for it earlier but it doesn't seem to have appeared, victim of the edit-fairy?
