Okay, After getting threats of being "sued" by a guy who made one for me FREE.

I basically need ideas on Images, Content and layout so I can make a kick *** one!

What is WarServers.NET? I hear you ask.
Well it's in the name. We sell GameServers like COD and CSS.

So it needs a game-like theme.

It needs area to show prices for some games and a live sales tab at the top.

Not forgetting a jazzy logo.

This is one I made earlier :)

Well it's a banner :/

So I just need the ideas.

Thanks.

Suggesting a site on wordpress with a 2 col (right sidebar) layout. Home page is a static page. "News" page is the page where new posts will be displayed (about new servers, server maintaince, ect). About page about who you are, what you do, ect. Servers page listing the different servers you offer on each game. Then a contact page using Contact Form 7 for wordpress (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/). Comments can also be moderated by Akismet (http://akismet.com/) - so you don't have to deal with comment spam!

Also, get your email as contact@warservers.net, a redirect to an email address for you (like jbloggs@warservers.net or whatever).

Oh BTW - your guy who did your free site for you and ended up trying to sue (http://rasmusjorgensen.eu/?p=38) uses wordpress! Scroll down to the footer!

benzeman, Thanks for that. Never thought of using a WordPress blog to run on.

Ill get to wok theming it. +1 Mate!

marsey99, Shakedoc said he would monitor the thread, So I won't be bad.

I am looking to give away 20 game servers next month for a promotion. 3 will be in a comp off this forum if Mr Aria is okay with it again.

Get message to that clan as out of 20 servers I'm giving out, There is a big chnce of getting one.

another thing you could look into is competitions, clans enter comps, leagues and ladders all the time and if you can get some pimping on those you get alot of people buying servers of your games on them.

start your own clan and enter them in these comps, that could get you some hits too.

If you want I could pass you my theme - I'm currently working on re-developing it, but after my french writing exam (TODAY!) and speaking exam (~10th Feb) there are no exams. I will try to work on it between those dates but expect it to be finished by the end of Febuary. Until then, you could use a theme like TwentyTen (default)!

I'm hoping it get it looking the same as the old (current) version - http://tinyurl.com/6eup3tt
