    I agree with Enat. To hand code a web store is very technical and time consuming. Not to mention for a novice coder you wouldn't want to be responsible for security exploitations that particularly PHP can leave you open to if you aren't careful. Use the existing frameworks because there are...

    Floats not working in Internet explorer

    I checked it in ie in compatibility mode and had no problem which one is out of place? My guess would be check your widths and padding. Internet explorer has a weird way of rendering padding that can sometimes push a floated object down to the next line of the flow. You may have one set that...

    Hey Guys, Figured I'd throw a fun one out there so who's working today and what are you working on right now(if you're at liberty to disclose of course)? Fridays always feel nice even if you work on the weekend. I'm currently listening to The Dear Hunter and writing content for a client.

    cost efficient ways of building a simple website??

    All three are great but I prefer WordPress myself. If you don't have a lot of experience with web design the WordPress is the way to go. The interface is simple and with a large open source community you can find many free plug-ins to accomplish your goals. There are also many themes...
