I want an opinion

[Flicules]

Hello everybody.
What i want to know is just a simple and realistic opinion.
I just got a job offer to do a web-site...to be exact...The Foreign Ministry web-site...from a country.
I am a begginer in webpage design...and havent been involved in a big project.
I am supposed to start the project in september or october....I want to know how much time does it take to make a web-site similar to this:
http://www.mae.ro/
Is it possible to learn in 3 moths all it takes to complete such a task?
The client requiers it to be slightly better than the one listed above...and have security.
As i said i am a begginer...
I am student at the electronics and telecomunications faculty...and i do know some medium programming in C language.I haven't been working with databases.
So...this what i'm asking...can it be done...?
What does a website like this supposed to contain?
Please....be as honest and as frank as possible.I do want to do this right...if it can be done by me.
Thank you!

Quite frankly, i've been doing websites as a hobby since i was 16 years old, thats 7 years now, and a project like that would be way atop of my head if i put it on.

But i haven't studied any programming at all so you might have a head start with that. And google is your friend, you can instantly find almost any knowledge that you need.

So i think that it's manageable, but you should think of hiring consults if you are as a beginner as you say.

And google is your friend,

Don't underestimate this quote.

There are a few people on this board that may be able to help as well. Including myself. That's what these forums are for.

My advice is this. Sign up with this service.

The link that I gave you is a little known link that offers their tutorials for free for 24 hours. All you need is an e-mail address.

Once you log in for free, you should download every joomla tutorial that they have, that way you aren't limited to their service for 24 hours, since after downloading you will have the quicktime tutorials on your computer. To do this in Firefox, just click on the tutorial, and while its playing click Tools > Page Info. Click the media tab on top, choose the embed, and click save as. Save every tutorial, and watch them all the way through for about 4 hours per day. You will learn Joomla in 3-4 days if you do this. I know, because I've done that myself.

Hope this helps,

Lou

You might want to find some one else to do this site. Theres nothing wrong with admitting your limitations.
