Wanted: Service How much would it cost?

[Systreg]

Ok, I'm getting a bit wound up trying to make my affiliate site, it was doing my head in so I deleted it all in anger

So, how much would it cost to have a site made for me? Surely it can't be much, because I know you can get complete free shopping site templates from a certain website, can't remember the name of the site at that moment, and I would supply the feed file thing from Affiliate Window, so how much would it cost to put those 2 things together to make a working site that would look something like mountain-bike / org / uk, just a ballpark figure?

Coming soon from us. We have made 1000's of sites for clients here, but a public system will be announced soon -- loads of options. All interested PM me.

Its Affiliate Marketing Price Comparison Websites | AffiliStore mate.

Nice and simple to get working, just add your CSV files from the merchants into the admin section once its up and running!

Feel free to pm me if you get stuck,

Mat

Is that right Mat? You're a real card.

 

[mat]

For offering him the free option?

mountain-bike / org / uk is made using affilistore. It is really simple to use...

Would you rather I charged him or something????

 

[Systreg]

@ Mat, yeah, Affilistore, that's the one I was thinking about but couldn't remember the name of.

Yeah, it might be simple if I knew how to code or knew what to do with csv's, I would be stuck immediately after clicking to download the store stuff, I haven't got a clue about any of that.

Just had a closer look at that Affilistore site and I see it's also all php and sql needed for those stores, so it's no good for me, even if I paid someone to set a store up and get it all working for me, that still leaves the problem of I can't edit the site or template how I want it to look unless it's all in html, and those Affilistore templates are about as bland looking as you can get, they look right poxy, it would need major changing to the whole html to make them look even half decent, there goes another idea, I'll have to give that a miss as well.

 

[aZooZa]

Daft idea - something for free doesn't happen in a commercially-viable wlorld.

Your unlikely to get one that doesnt at least use PHP, but templates are usually separate and easy to edit.

If you don't wanna get your hands dirty, its better to just pay someone.

As for it being easy as 1+2=3 it isn't usually that easy, so don't expect it for pennies, but still shouldnt be that expensive either

Can anyone design and build me a car? It can't be that difficult or expensive as there are loads about and there's this company I cant remember their name are knocking loads of them out, they are everywhere, I don't have the knowledge to do it myself but I am reluctant to actually pay someone to do it.?

You having a fucking laugh? That's not what I said, so don't twist my words, I didn't ask anyone to "design" anything, the template is free and already designed by Affilistore, no designing needed from anyone, I was hoping to change the "design" myself through the html. I wanted to know how much it would cost to add the feed stuff to the template to get it up and working, completely different to your stupid car example, try fucking reading before posting, numpty.

@ admin/mods, feel free to close/delete this topic.

Download affistore and have a look at it.

You will find that php usually 'wraps' around html, so if your comfortable with html, you can still edit the design and layout in html without a problem.

A CSV is a flat database file setup like

1, 2, 3, 4
3, 4, 5, 5
3, 5, 7, 9

Nothing more, so just upload it and drop it in the right folder

You will need hosting for PHP/MySql for any store, I couldnt find any that used feeds that didnt use PHP/ASP as a minimum.

Fuck me what a loose cannon! anger management springs to mind?

So, how much would it cost to have a site made for me? Surely it can't be much

uuuhh to make a site it needs designing first...

The point I was making was that if you don't have the knowledge don't presume it won't cost much to do, time is money and these things can take time.

 

[Systreg]

uuuhh to make a site it needs designing first...

No, it doesn't need designing first, Affilistores are ready made sites, you just need to add the feeds from the retailers, no designing required.

The point I was making was that if you don't have the knowledge don't presume it won't cost much to do, time is money and these things can take time.

I wasn't presuming it wouldn't cost much for a reason, which is, the strore template is ready made and FREE, I would supply the feed from Affiliate Window, so where would the time and money come in to it?

I just needed someone to put the 2 things together, ie, add the feeds from Affiliate Window to the store template, simple as that, nothing more, which as was pointed out above by Mat, is easy to do, but as per my reply, yes, it's easy if you know what to do, I have no experience of php, sql databases or feeds, so it's not easy for me, but if I paid someone to do it, they would obviously know how to do that stuff, so it might take someone 30 minutes to upload a store template and add the feeds, that's what I wanted to pay for.

But it's all sorted now anyway, trying to make another html site myself and add html aff links to products individually like I originally planned to do.

 

[denchomsky]

Well I am glad you managed that reply without bursting into flames!
Good luck with your site.

There's a lot of popcorn being munched over at NomTowers at the mo, reading all these handbag fights!

there should be a tool somewhere in affiliatewindow that allows you to make a mini shop window of products from your merchants, you then just copy and paste it into your html, it should make the process a bit quicker!

they do, its called their shop window.

ShopWindow Forum

I use this, It's a 'host-your-own' system. PHP and SOAP I believe, took a bit of setting up but looks ok: eg. Your One Stop Shop - Where do you want to shop today?

It has a themes folder much like you have for wordpress, vbulletin etc.

 

[Systreg]

Yeah, I had at look at Shop Window when I logged in to AW, it's not working at the moment, this message shows on the SW page:

Service Notice:The ShopWindow Toolset is undergoing system upgrades. At this time we are not accepting any new users or upgrades but we will release a new version soon.

It does say it's easy to implement by embedding in your page, I hoped that meant it might be a case of getting some code and inserting it in to my pagee html, but if it's as DTM says above, then no use to me.
