Tom Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Any website designer/developers on here and possibly in Essex at all?, long shot I know, I had an idea last night which I feel is a good one but I would need someone that could set up a very professional website that could take online payments by credit/debit cards etc. PM if you wish.

SupraStormRising Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I do both use various packages and design a site exactly to customer requirements. I'm not happy till their happy My own site isn't even completed as wasn't sure whether to setup as a business as I work full time for the banks. However I am able to do sites in my spare time as long as I don't have to many projects to do at the same time.

Or was the a comment on thedancefactoryuk The comment was on the dance factory website. 5 min frontpage job at best IMHO a-bdesign - first thing I noticed within 5secs was "guage succsess " EDIT - then I noticed none of your links work!

SupraStormRising Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 LOL That's exactly what they wanted, who am I to complain it was nice and easy to do. The only vaguely complicating thing I had to do was the PHP scripting to record each download of the most important dances... Oh and they maintain the site mostly themselves, although the menu is pink thought the layout of the menu system was very good...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Sothink's DHTML Menu Maker once to build a menu, because I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStormRising Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hehe, i've coded my own using css but to be honest why spend hours coding something when you can use an application to do the dirty work for you Besides give me a challenge and I will upload it to my a-bdesign server and take down my half completed site Then if it still doesn't meet with approval i'll just keep my day job Keep em' coming I can take the abuse Structured critisism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hehe, i've coded my own using css but to be honest why spend hours coding something when you can use an application to do the dirty work for you Because most WYSIWYG editors and other 'applications' produce inferior code that results in: :: Non standards compliant code (different rendering modes in browsers) :: Bloated code (longer page loading) :: Accessbility issues (ie: tables used to control layout) Besides give me a challenge and I will upload it to my a-bdesign server and take down my half completed site Then if it still doesn't meet with approval i'll just keep my day job Keep em' coming I can take the abuse Structured critisism Try controlling the layout with CSS, using tables for tabular data only or for controlling form layouts (though use the SUMMARY property to highlight that the table is used to control the form layout). Use an external CSS file as opposed to using inline style, it makes it easier to maintain pages and reduces code bloating. Dump the transitional DTD - thats for lazy people, take pride in your work and code to a strict DTD (since IE has a 'quirks' mode that may render pages differently when using a transitional DTD). Make your site accessible, meeting one of the 3 levels of the WCAG guidelines (ideally aim for level AA or AAA), since it has been a legal requirement for all 'business' websites to be accessible since 2004 as stated in the 1995 Disablity Discrimination Act. Hows that for a challenge? If you need any CSS help, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 im a designer for a agency in preston my current sites are http://www.eddiestobart.co.uk http://www.cheekdance.co.uk http://www.dietaryspecials.co.uk http://www.precisionsheetmetal.co.uk http://www.stobartshop.co.uk http://www.clubstobart.co.uk http://www.redrowcsr.co.uk/ http://www.astsigns.co.uk/ im a bit busy to take on a site at the moment but i will give you free advice and would be happy to talk you through any ideas. CMS are fine aslong as you restrict what they can do. we remove the font family abilities and the font colours so we dont get clients creating crazy rainbow text Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
