    web design

    Not sure you'll have much luck. Everyone always offers help with the portfolio. It's like if your boss called and said you were not going to get paid anymore, but added that you should continue to work your hardest because the continued work time would look good on your resume.

    Newbie in need of some advice

    HTML and CSS is not as limited as you think, so long as you know what you're doing. I've found I can do more in notepad than in Dreamweaver. The best option when you're learning is to start wih basic HTML and move on. This will give you strong codes in the future and make it easier to fix...

    Need some advice with my website..

    When people go to a web page they are okay with text. The general rule is that people do not want to scroll down more than twice per page and if they scroll down twice on every page they get sick or reading text on their computer screen. I agree with Paul, the testimonials bar needs to be...

    Am I charging too little?

    Hmm, to be honest that really depends on you. $25 per hour is okay, but if you're getting a lot of business it might not be a bad idea to charge a bit more. There are a few variables to consider. 1. How long does it take you to finish a site? Sometimes people are willing to pay more if they get...

    A few questions about web design

    1. I have heard the terms web designer and web developer what is the difference? Are the basically the same thing or does a designer do more of the "front end" visual stuff and a developer do the "back end" and make the site work. If so can you be both or do you have to basically choose? You...

    It was suggested to me through an accessibility website and one of those How To sites.

    When should I file taxes?

    Yeah, here it's anything over $500. So I'm going to go ahead and say yes, you gotta include that money on your taxes. Sorry.

    Image not showing in IE HELP PLEASE !!!

    Hmmm... I've never had an issue using png files in IE and I'm using the latest version but could not get yours to show up. In your CSS I noticed #logo {width:140px; height:120px; background-color:black; color:white; Try putting the height and width in the HTML code instead and getting...

    Using <h1> tag with images

    You could use the H1 tag around your page titles. <h1><title>Beanies4babies: collecting toys for kids in crisis.</title></h1>

    HTML5 and CSS3

    CSS is a good way to format your webpage. Before CSS web designers tried frames and tables, but they have their problems and did not allow designers the same freedom that CSS provides as far as design is concerned. Plus, with CSS you can create an amazing page that a novice cannot simply steal...

    How would I go about starting a large scale dynamic website

    Do you have a brick and mortar store that has been successful enough to move on to click and mortar? That was the question on every test in my E-Commerce course. You can do well online if you have a good market, but think of all the other stores you mentioned. You want a website just like...

    HTML5 and CSS3

    So we've landed on: it's a good idea to learn them, but at the moment there is little support for them so don't go changing all your websites unless you are asked to do so by a client who knows what he or she is talking about and understands the lack of support. Thanks for starting this...

    HELP! Templates Usage

    Well, if it's available on one site for a price and yet some other site has it for free then you're probably better off not using it unless it's just a private website and you are linking to the Joomla template to show who made it. For a commercial site you're better off paying for the template...

    what do you think

    Looks really good! Usually wedding sites will have lighter colors, but yours seems to focus more on the romance of the day rather than the colors so maybe some red roses?

    Image not showing in IE HELP PLEASE !!!

    The img code is the same in IE, it's just <img src="image.png" width="124" height="394" alt="Discription of the image" /> When I went to your website I could see the source code, but not the CSS and since the html looks good your problem is in the CSS.

    Image not showing in IE HELP PLEASE !!!

    It's not working on my laptop either :-( The html looks fine, though eventually you might want to type a hight and width for the picture. I have IE8. What's your CSS look like?

    Newbie needs basic suggestions?

    To be honest, if you're getting ready to go pro it might be time to spend the money on a good WYSIWYG editor such as Dreamweaver. However, I make all my sites in NotePad and have had good results. The best choice may be to take web design classes or read books on the subject instead of buying...

    Using ID and class at the same time

    I'm a little confused. You can use a div and put classes and other divs inside, such as when you use a wrapper, but you usually do this by using #test for your div and .test for your classes. I'm just getting stuck on what you're trying to do since if you set something to have no decoration...
