    iFrame vs Javascript

    I have a client who has several forms I've created with an online form creation website. The choice for the embed script is either iframe or javascript. Which of these is most likely to work? I know some browsers dont support iframes, and sometimes javascript is turned off. Some of the people...

    Bad name for an email address?

    I'm a web designer who frequently creates email addresses for clients. One client needs an email address created to associate with their new business paypal account. They'd like to call it [email protected]. I was thinking it's a bad idea to name an email address "payments", thinking it...

    Should I charge for this?

    I'm a web designer with a client who has online referral forms, and recently, a small percentage of their users can't view the forms. I realized it's because those people work at a government agency with very stringent internet security that will not allow them to view embedded forms. So...

    Is there a CMS/photo album for hi-res photos?

    I have a client who often has professional photos taken of his restaurant. Its often different photographers taking the photos, so I'd like to have one place someone can log in and view and download photos. A traditional gallery will compress the pics, and sometimes we need print resolution...

    How do you handle charging for hosting multiple sites for a client?

    I host about 20 sites for clients now, and charge $120 per site per year. Some clients want to get additional sites, ie, they have multiple businesses. One client at one point had 5 different legitimate business sites I was hosting, and charging $600 per year seemed a little steep, when he could...

    Whats the word on animated email signatures?

    I have a client that would like one. I know a flash signature isn't practical because it wont show up in most email apps. However, gifs will, though I dont think I've seen one. I would create it in Fireworks, though I'm not sure of the feasability, ie, are they considered a good...

    Script to make site load all at once?

    Hi - My site's primarily html, with a little bit of flash. My boss would like for the site, ie, text and graphics, to load all at once. If it takes a few seconds thats ok. I'd rather not put a flash preloader up front since the site just has a little flash in it and may eventually not have any...

    Need some advice on handling this runaway project please.

    Hi all - I've been doing web design for about 5 years, but as you know, every project is different. A client wanted a website with a contact form with ten fields. Although I was fairly thorough, my mistake was in giving them a quote without getting the details on the referral forms. Then, they...

    How small of time increments do you charge for?

    I have about 20 web design clients, some hosted with me, some not. Every week or so I get a small request from various clients...upload some new pdfs, change a few lines of text,etc. They may only take 15 minutes total, though sometimes I have to go through a 3rd party admin for the often...
