As you all probably know I'm a talented PHP dev. PHP is a programming language used for the Internet for dynamic web pages and image editing on the fly. I'm wanting to get my shop back up and running with some special that you all and many others will enjoy, yet I'm not sure what to offer.

My past project was a full website in which people could buy variant tokens used to purchas different things on the site, be they shoutboxes, image maps, etc. However, this method was too close to the rule of "No trading Gaia gold for currency on other websites," so it had to be cancelled.

What I'm asking you all now is this: what type of fancy programmed products would you like to see sold at this store? There's a phrase about PHP saying that it can "do anything you'd like it to," and it pretty much lives up to that quote. If you can think of any ideas for a dynamic or self-updating image for any purpose that you or others might be interested in purchasing with gold, feel free to let me know.

This way, you guys get to build the shop, and say what products are available. :3 Comments & discussion = <3

I think you would make a killing off of coding custom simple profiles ^_^!

Plus it would broaden this shop's products. I've had dozens of people asking how the avatar edit was put in my own, maybe you could help those who have purchased edits make a profile around them (I.e. replacing the normal avatar and items with the edit, ALOT like Meriko's avatar section of her profile is done)

Just an idea X'D

Hm... Between the new profile system coming out and lanzer's idea of "profile selling" that he was mentioning, that idea probably wouldn't last too long. XD; If I get a chance to fix something up before new profiles are officially out (which could be any day now o.o;) then I'll probably toss that in~

I think some dynamic signature stuff would be good. Everyone always loves to put stuff in their sig! (I'm currently looking for something new....since my avvie has changed!)

Sigmaps and random images are very popular, so those are always good stand bys. I would really like to see something that I could easily update the info in it....something with a luck counter, random images and/or quote, links, etc. Even a bit of animation to make it snazzy!

Yeah, I had a shop open here earlier doing shoutboxes and image maps, but I'm looking to recreate those and add a lot more. :3 There will be an accompaniment website where you'll be able to log in and update the product with the click of your mouse. A luck counter is a good idea, I'm going to add that. Random Images I have a good plan to do these, much better than cutandpaste or tektek, but people would rather use those if they're free, most likely. Suggestions on that one?

Random quotes, links, etc, are all good suggestions. I'll toss those in as well. I can do minor animations on my own, but if it's anything major like an avatar, it might have to be left out unless Peter's feeling generous. ;3

Peter is always around, and more often than not feeling generous.

It would depend on the animations, and the depth and complexity.. But I can manage anything as long as I have an image to work with and a bit of time to get things done ^_^

I think you should have a forum for the shop, basic learning modules and stuff like that. It would deffinately get you hits, and possibly lighten your load if you get connections and people that want to help work for you. ^_~

If you don't mind me saying as a customer, I would buy a luck counter. They'd be really original and popular. You could have different styles of them, too, like Angelic, Demonic, Basic, ect.

Hope I didn't break a rule here; I'm just looking! ^^;

mimi: I don't draw avatar edits, I just sell them.

>o< This is an old thread though. It wasn't meant to be posted in anymore, but somebody bumped it. I'm going to lock it for now and move it to the graveyard.
