If it is Drag n' Drop, do it yourself. I certainly would not pay someone calling themselves a web developer for that. Those sites exists to allow you to do it yourself without a professional involved. Those of us who actually went to school to learn web design and what goes into it sort of cringe at the idea. You have no idea about the code background either, is it accessible for those with disabilities? Autistic, poor vision/blind, dyslexic? Will it be secure or leave you open to legal action under the new EU GDPR regulations? Off the top, to me it sounds like a lot of money for something you can do and who is to say this person even knows what they are really doing? Do they know CSS and HTML5 enough to modify it? Fix it when it gets broken? I feel someone who does not know how to code a site by hand has no business using drag n' drop. If you can do it by hand and do it that way to speed it up and you trust the software to do almost a good a job as you would by hand... then it is forgivable. Does that price include hosting? That makes a difference as well.

Good news on the Net Neutrality Issue, the Senate has voted to repeal Pi's decision. But it is not over yet, although the Senate voted to repeal it, the House of Representatives has not yet and the timer to do so is ticking down. For those of you who really care, pop off another letter or phone call to your representative and let them know a vote must take place and what you expect that vote to be, they are supposed to represent us and not big business. As for the Senate... the vote was 52 to 47, we won the vote, but only be 5 votes which I find to be a sorry margin indeed. But hey, horse shoes and hand grenades...

Microsoft Patches Two Zero-Day Flaws Under Active Attack https://thehackernews.com/2018/05/microsoft-patch-tuesday.html

Just as a general rule to consider, Tables are only to be used for housing data, basically spreadsheets etc. Back in the middle ages of the 80s and 90s there was not a graphic way of placing web elements so tables were creatively misused. They did in fact limit what designers could do. The correct way to handle this is with CSS. You can place anything anywhere you want by simply creating empty boxes and filling them with data, images, or more boxes as you like where you like and this is really the best way to do it. It can e tricky to learn, but not really hard, you simply have to get used to thinking that way and in pixels. One benefit as well is doing so in this manner, it will leaver your source code and data cleaner. Those with disabilities will find the web site easier to navigate, including those with vision issues and search engine spiders. All your "Look and feel" elements can be placed in a separate external CSS file, separating your web site information from the web site graphical look and feel (this is what makes it better for disabilities and spyders). Also, you can then swap out the CSS file and change the look and feel of the web site with little to know changes to the actual HTML file if it is well planned and designed. If this is an issue that needs correcting fast than Daniel's code should work. But in the long run you will want to learn CSS and eventually change the site to boxes instead of tables. But to not fear creating sites in phases. Phase one - get it up there, phase two - clean it up and improve it.

Quick and Dirty Definition: The Internet of Things (IoT) is everything else connected to the internet that is not a traditional computer or optional tool (like printers). This means watches, washing machines, refrigerators, robots, vacuum cleaners, security cameras, baby phones, BBQ thermostats, water sensors, light bulbs, pace makers, insulin injectors, cars etc. etc. etc. You may have devices you connect to the internet that makes your life easier without thinking security... the issue is, is the manufacturer thinking security? You know OS developers worry about hackers, you know your router and your PC and your Tablet and your Phone have security settings... but does that light bulb? Was the manufacturer of your coffee pot worried about security? The answer is usually no. Manufacturers of security cameras are not controlled, so their is almost no protection built in. Jogging soldiers and airman have been found to be giving away important data on our bases due to apps tracking them as the jog. Robotic vacuum cleaners are collecting data on the layout of your house and the data is being sold. I present you with a new example of this: Casino Gets Hacked Through Its Internet-Connected Fish Tank Thermometer https://thehackernews.com/2018/04/iot-hacking-thermometer.html

Cyber Security is a branch of it's own and I have been studying it for over a year now. Not only do they not need to know everything, but it would leave them no time to actually build web sites. Security is mostly the realm of ISPs, servers and hosts, but it is not something that you can ignore simply because you are "Simply the web developer". If they get hacked and it suggests it is do to something you did not do or did wrong, not good for your business. So aside from making sure some simple rules are followed, it is a good idea to know that any Hosts you may suggest to a customer is trustworthy too. This is just 4 things web developers can do, I could suggest a lot more but that is more the hosts job. I am a former web developer and these are things I did not consider back then.
