News scripting

[Simon]

As discussed on another thread in the forum, we are currently undergoing a major overhaul of our site design. There's a few extra components i'd like to have plugged in to the site one of which is a news script.

I have tried so many scripts over the last 24 hours, that it makes my head spin that for all the large number of them out there, none of them seem to actually do; 1: What they advertise, and/or; 2: what I want it to do.

I'm looking to implement something very close to this (http://www.rackspace.com/aboutus/newsroom.php) if not indentical, but can not find the application that would give us that end result.

The script/application needs to give us that same structure; 1: an archive/newsroom showing the relevant articles, and categories, 2: each article has it's own page (for full article), and 3: both options 1 and 2 keep the same look of the main site.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Simon

P.S: I have tried HotScripts, but am yet to find an application/script that gives the exact output as described above..

Simon, my guess is this was a bespoke script rackspace used. Have you considered going this route?

Hi Jaime,

I tried bespoke.com, but was unable to see anything on their pdouct pages that would offer me some insight on what the application does/what limits it has..

Am I going to the right place?

Sorry, my fault for not explaining fully. By bespoke I meant it as the meaning... just an industry posh term for 'custom'. It would mean shedding a little cash, I don't know how necessary a script of this nature is to you, maybe it would be worth paying for a custom script, maybe not.

[Simon]

Ah, gotcha.

Yes, i'd certainly pay for a script to be done custom, as we don't employ coders, I'd have no qualms doing that. Any suggestions?

Post something in one of the advertising forums below, and perhaps you get a response or two from people proficient in this sort of thing who frequent IWDN.

It never hurts to look around. I've heard good things about designcrowd.com too. :)
