hi all, i know its be a long while since i been here but i gots a problem and i was wondern if you guys would be able to help me

if i where to grade myself on my web skills i would probaly give me a C+ on programings skillls (fairly good with html know sum css, learning php/mysql, and would like to learn flash) but on my creative skills i would give me a Z--- becuz i have no imagination.

wut im wanting to do is design a website for a local radio station that currently doesn't have one. when it did, it was crap. but this station isn't like must others, its non-corporate, atteched is an article i found about the station.

my question is would anybody be able to give me ideas on how to design a site for them and wut should be included and ext. or you could be really nice and design one for me and ill be sure you recieve all credit on the design/layout.

there current site is at http://www.fly927.com/

thx in advance

What should be included and excluded is up to them, they're going to be your clients and its their choice.

I don't think someone is going to design it for you, but we should be able to help you..

Associated with radio stations are often radio/power transmission towers (the big ones you see), and things like a little building/house on the corner of a road with some antena's on top. If you're going to do a logo then i'd suggest trying to design one of these - even pixel art could look cool.

I'd probably go for a fixed width layout (so you know that images will look the same on every resolution), include a header image (the logo) which spans accross the fixed width, then a menu below that and the content below that.

Things like simple gradients and greys etc make things look a whole lot more professional, such as the Messenger Plus! website..

the site is too plain, you need a theme and stick it on each page. For example msgPlus has this "bluish underwater" feel to it. Try to think of a theme. Right now, it's too plain. (i like the "enter site" page though)
