May I know if there is any good script out there to sell web designing services.

-visitor can choose among different plans
-mod rewrite will be appreciated
-paypal integration

thanks

 

Why dont you make one?
It would also be a good display of your web design skills to any potential buyers.

 

you could use any shopping cart script for something like this, or you could make your own as jb suggested.

I'd normally suggest cubecart, or making your own, but at the moment cubecarts paypal feature is broke since paypal updated their site (it still works for recieving payment, just the automatic emails don't work as paypal doesn't send confirmation back so you have to manually verify a payment)

 

We are a web development company we have our own CMS to sell escort designs and also some projects like this ..let me know if you are interested
you can see our site at http://www.escortsitedesigning.com/

 

Have you looked into Joomla at all. There are many plugins to do practically anything. Lots of designers use it for their content management. It is very flexible and easy to use, once you get the hang of it.

Check it out at joomla.org

 

Yes as glassman said, Joomla would be perfect.

 

what about drupal?

 

Try Virtuemart an ecommerce component of Joomla

 

Drupal is good but any sort of CMS seems like it might be overkill for what you want.

I would suggest something custom so you can make it look a lot more professional. You can theme a CMS look professional but it's going to take a lot more work on your end. Plus if you are a web designer you will find that a CMS gets in the way a lot of times anyway.

Oh yeah, and if you REALLY want something slick you could use a PHP framework like CakePHP

Have to agree with AYCOM here - "any sort of CMS seems like it might be overkill for what you want."

You can use an existing CMS for *other* people's sites, so you can create the site quicker and so that your customers can have some control over content. But for your own site, I'd avoid the CMS and just hand-code it. Better precision as to exactly how the site looks. And you'll want custom effects that a typical CMS can't supply ("I want a drop-down menu right here, and I want it populated with these items, and I want AJAX so that an entire page refresh doesn't occur when a user makes a selection that changes ... blah blah blah").

Additionally, once you complete your site, which is a site to show off/promote your business, you probably won't need to make numerous changes to it. Which is the plus of a CMS - easy for constant, frequent updates.

not to be critical in a bad way, but are you really ready to be developing websites if you're coming here looking for help/scripts and easy fixes?

I think you need some more time looking around at php and CMS's before offering your services, in my opinion anyway.

As for recommending something, I'd say a shopping cart would be a good idea yes. For my iste what I'm going to do though is write down my package deals and the price to give people an idea, but encourage them to email me with what they need and I'll tailor a plan to exactly what they want and adjust the price exactly.

I know it isn't as flashy or impersonal as a script, but it really does offer them the best service, and it forces them to contact you and discuss the options.

best of luck with your site, innovati!
