What site you guys usually use for making your guild sites? Looking into making one soon, but I have a lack of in-depth coding knowledge.

I built Kindred using an open-source CMS called Joomla. I personally don't like cookie-cutter guild-o-matic type site builders.

Well, I don't personally use a service to build the site for the linkshell I am in. We have a basic hosting service, and we use SMF with TinyPortal. It is (mostly) a matter of simply installing the files yourself, but it does require some basic knowledge of the behind-the-scenes stuff. No in-depth coding however, and most of the REALLY cool stuff has to be coded a little bit at least.

A lot of people use Enjin, and that seems to work very well for a reasonable cost. I don't know what sort of widgets and perks the have, but I suspect they will have the basics - like a leve reset timer, shout box, forums, etc. I don't know if Enjin can do live character stats or anything like that. But if all you are looking for is a basic web front with some of the more common stuff, they are probably the place to go.

EDIT: I am curious... Does anyone else use SMF or SMF/TP or SMF/some other portal?

We actually run our site using SMF and Simpleportal currently. Though we are debating changing things up and moving to Joomla.

I like the theme. Not my personal preference for colors, but slick and simple is always nice. ^^ And Ajax chat mod ftw at that. I've been debating adding to our site.

That's cool. It sounds like they have a lot of the mods that we have had to code manually. Granted, I like to code as a hobby, so it works out best, and we can optimize specifically for our linkshell and for SMF/TP, which means we can do a few nifty little back end tricks.

I'm curious, does Enjin have support anywhere for a single logged in user to manage multiple characters? That's the pipe dream over on our site, and the ultimate goal with our FFXIV MOD for SMF.
