An English movie website

Hello guys, I’m a Taiwanese girl and I found here recently.
My company is planning to make an English website of movie information like Yahoo!Movie USA, but all the time and content are from Taiwan’s theaters!
Well so if there’s such a website will you guys surf and look up for movie information? As I know, there’s no portal website for movie in English in Taiwan.

Here’s our website now! We’re preparing for the English version and hope you will like it and use it :smiley:
17movie.com.tw
facebook.com/17movie

You can just google “movie tickets”…there are plenty of them. Do some research.

BTW the website design looks like one of ours from the mid 1990’s and is WAY too cluttered. I’m a web designer, PM me if you want help. 需要美國網頁設計師幫助的話可以msg給我。我有很多建議可以share給你。你們現在的SEO很差因為系統設定錯了、dynamic links、html/css 有非常多錯誤、等等。

This is how tw design their websites. It’s no different from gohappy.com.tw and pchome.com.tw but then I’m a true novice when it comes to web design.

That’s my point. They’re 10 years behind.

I think you should go for it. Right, there is not single internet location to find movie information in english so foreigners must use a variety of websites to find the movie information that they are looking for but there is not one place for someone that speaks english to find movie information for Taiwan. Definitely a good opportunity and it could get bigger in the future by providing more types of information.

Also, consider not only internet buy mobile applications like iPhone, android, and windows phone.

Eh…You might want to consider changing the name of the website/company…17movie sounds like a place for xxx material.

I just use this page in Chrome, which translates it from Chinese to English:
atmovies.com.tw/showtime/the … p?area=a02

If you really want to make a quality web site, then I recommend you to hire a professional translator. Chrome/Google translation is awful. It barely gets the gist across.
I’m sure there are plenty of people here on Forumosa that would kindly offer their services in exchange for some fair compensation. You can take into account their English expertise minus their possibly mediocre Chinese language skills. And then come up with a final fair price for their services. But if you should happen to find a person who is fluent in both Chinese and English, then you’d probably get a better translation.

Also I suggest you hire a web designer to help you layout your website in a more appealing manner. If you want to make a site that people will want to use, then spending some extra money on improving your web site layout will be worth it in the long run. Plus you will only have to pay the web designer once to help create the templates. Don’t cut corners. You’ll be glad you didn’t.

For some reason this was unpinned. http://flob.me/p215508 It could use updating though.
