    I'm still in the planning/construction stage of my first website aimed at a specific audience. I have very solid html/xhtml and css knowledge and am now developing my PHP and MySQL skills. My goal is for people to enter a postcode or suburb name in order to access all appropriate businesses...

    What price to charge

    I'm building a site site with a specific audience in my area, in my spare time and learning everything as I go. I'm hoping requests for web design might come from my site users. What would be a reasonable fee for ME(no experience & constantly learning etc) to charge? I figure a flat...

    How do I convert a spreadsheet of clients into a searchable website?

    Thanks for the help. I've been using some helpful resources to build the PHP part and I am working the SQL side. My ISP doesn't support PHP so I need to test-drive my PHP & SQL skills before I go "live". I've been advised to download a web server, PHP and MySQL. There are a lot of choices...

    How do I convert a spreadsheet of clients into a searchable website?

    I've got an extensive list of clients organised in Excel and I want cutomers to be able to find them via postal code or suburb name. I can build the content of the pages, but I need to know how to incorporate a "text input" form so visitors can view clients in the postal code/suburb name they...

    Plaguirism & Copyright

    What laws cover the re-use/revamping of other sites into your own, and does anyone police it? Now that I'm fairly competent and confident with web design, I've found some prosperous sites that offer high commissions for referred customers who sign up and spend $$$. I feel I can build a...

    Help getting started

    Through some of this forum's happy members, I was initially put onto the "Head First" book which is possibly the best outlay you can make if you seriously want to learn "proper" coding. Solely purchasing design software and filling in the gaps will help you build sites, but learning how to fix...

    Advice on existing sites

    Although I am comparatively new to web design, I am starting to get a solid hold on HTML and scripting etc. And I have found a certain market segment in my area that needs their websites maintained and improved from the original site designed by the get rich quick tech guys several years ago who...

    The Future of Web design

    Haha now this is gone way off topic! I had one of those tape drives for my first pooter, a Commodore Vic20 no less LOL. The upside was I could cheat my way through games by reading the game program, unlike the cartridge games that you actually had to learn to play LOLOLOL! And thanks for...

    On the subject of the original post, and its relevant replies... This is the type of work that crops up in the construction industry(my world) regulary. Where a contractor has partially/poorly constructed a parking lot(for example) and the owner/head contractor needs it to be completed...

    The Future of Web design

    I know you're right zkiller, and unfortunately thats the culture of the tech industry. All it does it encourage lazy programmers. Amazing how the first moon landing supposedly relied on a 4Mb Hard Drive that took up an acre!(or something along those vague lines) but now we need a P8 processor...

    Maintenance of websites and copyrights

    Surprisingly Z it is infact a very straight answer:D! It took a couple of re-reads to get my head around it, but it actually made sense(eventually) to me that the site owner holds rights to the design. Also removes some concern that I initially had about a potential venturing into this area of...

    Maintenance of websites and copyrights

    If someone has created a website, but the site owner wants it to be updated or enhanced, can a new website developer make some basic changes without infringing copyright regulations? And when the new updated site is published, who owns the copyright to the design/details etc of the site? The...

    The Future of Web design

    As a newcomer, not only to this site, but also the world of web design, I'm wondering what level of programming needs to be learnt to be a quality web designer. NOT just for today, but for future trends. I've read much about W3C changing standards of HTML programming and embracing more...

    What to buy or avoid for a newbie

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate your willingness to offer helpful advice.:) I've been going through the w3schools tutorial today and can't believe learning the basics of HTML is not as daunting as I expected. I sort of knew a couple of things already without knowing it was HTML. Thanks...

    What to buy or avoid for a newbie

    Thanks Z and QAD, Sounds like getting a bit of HTML and scripting knowledge is a better place to start than learning through playing with some of the total software programs for sale. Any suggestions on finding suitable publications/websites etc to get me started on that(HTML/scripting)...
