I want Sponk.co.uk to be my personal site and network homepage. Can someone please give me some tips on the best way to aproach this? How did you do yours? Did you use a CMS? Do it by hand? or coded your own?
I know HTML, CSS, PHP and what not, just need a little help in the ideas department.
Thanks,

I don't really know you that well but if it is a personal site I would probably use a CMS. Maybe even add your own blog. I don't know if you have photoshop and can make a template but that would be a good way to make it look nice. It all depends on what you like. I know it is a personal site but what do you want to put on it. Make it however you would like if it is for your personal use.

well why dont you try putting a little intro about yourself and what you do. It would be great to put a slogan or menu at the top made in flash too. I have notice that many people like modern pages or the contary with an old skin or something, also urban art is well seen, i mean if you put some graffiti letters or like a used metal that would good a very good looking page.

I think you should make the site more technical and flash. I think flash would really bost your site. ANd since your logo is green i think you should have a black or dark blue template with pointy features.

For a small personal site, use a blog software or light CMS. It doesn't look like you need anything as powerful as PHP-Nuke at the moment. You can do some quite good things with WordPress. Its easy to update and you can add static pages. As you say you know PHP, you can also adapt the pages to fit your needs. Good luck with the site.

Thanks for you opinions peeps, and yes I do have Photoshop. Also, im kinda suck of the 3 column layout of PHP-Nuke, Not Mambo, theres a nice CMS. I may end up either Coding my own from scratch the way I want it, or, Using some blog software like wordpress as you can easily add pages. I may even use a modified version of CuteNews and use it for my whole site. As for the drak blue background, yes, I think I will. Flash? No, a) because I cant do ood flash things,  search engines cant read flash. I will work on this when I have a little more time, what with college and that. Thanks!

A fluid combination of Javascripts, CGI, and PHP would do. Javascripts are the spice of your site. PHP is the awesome features and CGI is the CGI.
