Hi,
Was on this thread last night just having a read (almost everything went over my head) but then I got a call from a mate today asking for a favour and was wondering if someone could maybe help.
The scenario is this:
My best mate just got told he has been made redundant as from yesterday but has the opportunity of taking over a sister company. Its seems to be on some sort of pay as your play basis for him, ie he is self employed and will get paid in line with how well the company is doing.
I'm not really 100% of the situation at the moment but thats what I'm getting from it.
Anyway, the company has a website which looks pretty dire and he asked me if I would have a look at it and maybe update it.
He asked me as I am the only one of our chums that work within IT, however my web development is limited to say the least, I work with Oracle in work and even then I have only been in the job less than 2 years.
However, obviously I said I would have a look at the site form him and see what I can do.
He doesnt want anything to fancy I dont believe just something better to look at.
So here is where am I at.
My experience in web development involves very limited expericence in C# and VB.NET
I did create a site before however, it was built with a plug/drop and drag program and hosted by the people who developed the program.
There is a live site at the moment, so its a case of redevelopment.
I'm not sure really where to begin with this in regards to getting access to it etc
What do I need to get me going? What questions do I need to ask? Who set up the site/runs it/hosts it/has access to it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
