Starting a Virtual Pet Site If you know Php come here?

Question

I am currently in the process of setting up a virtual pet website. I want to develop it with a slight twist to other pet sites. However, this will require alot of PHP, Java,HTML and general programming skills which are required to develop the games, scripts and community features.

I also desperately require help with graphics as im not that artistic myself. We need some maps, items, pets and other general things made.

Im afraid I cannot offer any real payment as it does not have any revenue, but I would of course offer staff status within the community which would become high profile once this virtual community gets going.

Designing a website requires two skills: Artistic and Coding.
Artistic to make it pretty, Coding to make it work.
MANY "Web Designers" are nothing else but people who can make "pretty images", but know nothing of coding.
That is why I am the CODER for several "web designers": they find the clients for me!
You do not seem to have either skills, nor be prepared to invest hard cash in your idea, nor your project to have some future income: not a really good place to start...
Designing a complex and interactive site takes a lot of time, and I doubt you will find "free help".
Put your site up on a LAMP server, with a proper domain (NOT a "free" server, please!), then call again: we may give you bits of help...
Good luck anyway...
