Howdy.
I could provide a playground for a talented CSS Artist, my knowledge is very limited for this.
I do own my own server. A reasonable free CMS would be Typesetter CMS, which is a flat file php system. The benefit is, this CMS comes with a lot of free Themes which we can adopt for Great Cow Basic. A lot of addons / plugins are available as well. It has a great Community, btw.
What it is lacking is a new safe plugin for site searching, if somebody with good php knowledge could build such a search plugin a big thank from me and the community would be sure.
(I.E. I do have some StartPic18 DEV Boards laying around for helpers)
But this must not be a show stopper, if no one is willing to help I try my best.
The Artist and programmer would get an CMS Login and shell access if needed.
Interested? pn me.

A first step could be to select a Theme from here to start with. https://www.typesettercms.com/Themes
There are some cool AddOns for brush up the Site with nice Galleries, Sliding Fotos and so on here https://www.typesettercms.com/Plugins
I do have some experience with gpEasy, which was the base of Typesetter, this was really easy, fast and clean.

I put that together a long time ago when we didn't really have a help file and the download was confusing. I tried to make it BASIC Stamp like with the CHIPINO module but then ran out of free time myself. As Evan and company began to improve GCB I started to back off and now I've been switching it over to try and help support GCB as another portal entry.

What I need is: 2 or more Screenshots from actual 0.98rc04 IDE, for new Homepage, one Good Picturs about a GCLDEmo for so, or the Scope Project, a Smartphone Picture must be excellent in sharpness, or with a SLR. If nothing is available I could make one with some PIC and AVR laying around the Startpic18 Board, the only one I have here

A bit of colour would be nice..it looks like it runs on valves and cast iron. For examples see what's popular with arduino. Most GCB stuff I've done has been done on youtube with a uno. I've posted the usual oscillocope and ultra sonic sensor on a servo obstacle avoiding robot code. Videos and pictures make it interesting. My robot does the usual and has pwm motor and hints like it uses a timer interrupt to drive the servo..something that it seems is the norm but not in GCB. Seems robots are popular for beginner projects and GCB makes it easier than c++. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW5mToXw-ik&feature=youtu.be People do actually make these silly things and code and pictures of ebay h-bridge, etc. make it seem more interesting.
There again I might have missed the point?
I did the same robot in my Book "Programming PIC Microcontrollers With PicBasic" published in 2003. Only difference is I used servo motors to drive and a Sharp GP2D15 IR Detector as the eyes and PICBASIC for the code. Mine ran slower but worked just as yours.
Do you share the code and schematic anywere? I didn't see a link in the video description.

Watched your newest Video Really impressive
Take your picture for one out of 4. We will have a department for builded Projects. Think a Robot would make a good start

I haven't ever used a html editor so can't help there,sorry.
Robots, (not real robots, ha!) follow lines,avoid objects and search for light source..more or less.
Commercial toy robots have lcd faces which I'm working on as GCB supports glcds well.
Making a robot is one thing that is actually cheaper (and better) than buying one or a kit. The chassis I used was £5 so why make one though. Years ago it was cheaper to make a pic capacitance meter than buy one but not now.
I posted a tron game and "oscilloscope" demos showing GCB range from fun to serious. Anything I can do to help, please post. Picaxe users have never heard of GCB it seems and find it as a first source pic dev system because it uses "simple" basic commands. Then comes the reality :)
Arduino users might have to learn c++ when they already know basic..as per moi.

I like the Idea to present the very easy Demo Codes with Picture or short Video.
So potential users can imagine how easy their very own project would be if they choose Great Cow Basic.
Your already done projects are already found in this forum, but presenting them in a showroom would be a good choice. Let's see how we can manage it.

Looking for someone to help improve the Great Cow BASIC website.
http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/
We need someone to revise and make it look really nice and easy to manage. Make it 'User Focused' with access to the great backend resources.
I am sure that lots of you want to help - so please let us know.
HELP PLEASE.

Thank you so much for taking on this challenge.
I can vouch... the StartPic18 DEV Board is very very cool! One of the best.

Did you want me to post anything special on GreatCowBasic.com?
I've shifted its focus to more core GCB and away from what I was doing with CHIPINO.
I wasn' sure if this was the same owner or just a commercial Website.
Ps: the Search issue is about to be solved, now. And it seems I do understand the Gallery. So its going forward.

I can do a new IDE picture.
@Chuck. Do you have any good photos?

So, this Thread can be closed, I think.
