  3. Web Hosting?

    in Business of Web Design

    Posted

    3ix seems much cheaper, and i doubt the account will get hacked when it holds such a small website. I think i will use this one :)

     

    although, there claim is:

     

    Webspace 40 GB

    Bandwidth 100GB

    POP Email 50 a/c

     

    This seems like a lot compared to other web-hosts, is it genuine?

     

     

    And to Ben, when i said 'Im guessing im right', i meant that the website developer pays, not the client, sorry :L So thank you for that, my aunties knowledge for the internet goes as far as facebook, so i guess it would be simpler to use her details, instead of me having to use my Paypal account for it...

  6. Web Hosting?

    in Business of Web Design

    Posted

    Before i start, i wasn't sure where to place this, so feel free to move it as you wish.

     

    I have finally gotten my first job, however i don't know much about paid web-hosting. Its my auntie that needs the website, and it is only a one(maybe 4 or 5 maximum) page site with her details on it, so it doesn't need much room whatsoever. There is a high chance it wont use any website programming either(PHP, Javascript etc...).

     

    I understand free web-hosting should be out of the picture for a serious website, however the only advantages i see will come from a paid web host for this website are the professional looking domain, and the fact that the website will be a decent speed to load up other pages, and from the search engine.

     

     

    Although i did do my research on this, im still uncertain where to go for this, however the most relevant one i found was this:

     

    http://www.justhost.com/

     

    £1.95 a month, but im not sure if that means it will go back up to the original price(check the link to see what i mean), and i don't even know whether or not you can get a cheaper web host for what i need. If anyone has used a cheaper webhost than this, please tell me!

     

    Thanks a lot,

    Danny

  7. Hover effect

    in CSS

    Posted

    Basically, if you edit that padding to make it padding: 15px 10px 13px 10px; then it will expand out, however then it pushes everything else to the other side of where it expands...

     

    Is there is a way to fix this, or a way around it?

  8. Hover effect

    in CSS

    Posted

    Okay, so currently i have my navigation bar here:

    http://potatoes.netii.net/

     

    I like the basic style of it, but it has some noticable issues. The main problem im having right now is that i don't understand how i can make the background expand out from the text, as oppose to the current effect, in which the text moves with it.

     

    Thanks if anyone can help, and if you don't understand what i mean i will provide a graphic to show you with :)

  9. Sidebar

    in CSS

    Posted

    Hmm, i didn't actually notice i had these margins still set... im terrible for trouble shooting, its definatly something i need to work on...

     

    But thanks again :)

  11. Sidebar

    in CSS

    Posted

    I don't use dreamweaver, i cant afford it :L

     

    And the link wont really help, all i really need to know is why float: left; for the sidebar and Float:left; for the content doesn't automatically align them :D

  12. Sidebar

    in CSS

    Posted

    Hey again guys :)

     

    Okay, my problem is sidebars.

     

    I have a sidebar, which i can fit into my website nicely, along with the header and nav bar.

     

    My only issue now, is that i can't put any actual content into the website without it going in the wrong place.

     

    So, i wondered, can this be achieved by playing around with the floats in the layers?

     

    Thanks alot,

    Danny

  17. Percentages :S

    in CSS

    Posted

    Im centering the site, and i did the other measurements in percentages, so if i use pixels then it will only be centered on monitors the same size as mine...

     

    And it seems to be corrected, but im not sure why, i just swapped some code around - but you can see the difference on the site here:

     

    http://potatoes.netii.net/

     

     

    Can you see what was wrong? I wouldn't mind knowing so i can avoid it next time :S

  18. ** Homepage looks REALLy OFF only in IE **

    in Beginners Web Design

    Posted

    Thanks Wickham, this helped the positioning problem : ) EXCEPT, now the MUSIC and CONTACT flash objects don't show in IE. Could this be related to the notice I get saying "To help protect your security, internet explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or Active X....". Do I have to type in a code so this message won't pop up?

     

    You can just see the top of them in IE, so the sizing is changing in IE slightly, its not getting rid of the two buttons.

     

    Do you have any code that only refers to the firefox and the other browsers?

     

     

    I would try fiddling around with the sizing, maybe changing it by one or two pixels could make it right?

  19. Percentages :S

    in CSS

    Posted · Edited by danhodge

    There is literally no way i can begin to try and solve this problem :S

     

    On firefox, a template i am creating works fine with the correct percentage, something around 80, however Internet Explorer and Opera require me to use 480% instead.

     

    This is the code for the weird part, its the margin-left part which is causing this hassle:

     

    #sidebar {
float: left;
[b]margin-left: 486%;[/b]
width: 110%;
border-width: 0px 1px 0px 0px;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
}

     

    and for it to work in Firefox:

     

     

    #sidebar {
float: left;
margin-left: 83%;
width: 20%;
border-width: 0px 1px 0px 0px;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
}

     

    Thanks,

    Danny

  21. The design itself

    in Beginners Web Design

    Posted

    I'm hoping my issue is common to new web developers, but even if not i still need help.

     

    I consider myself fairly experienced with CSS and HTML, im about halfway there right now, but my major issue is the actual design.

     

    I draw out my website in a low amount of detail, then create it on that basis, with colors and styles labelled, however when it goes onto the computer, it never looks as good as i hope...

     

     

    Is there any way to solve this issue?

     

    Thanks a lot,

    Danny

  22. Rounding Corners

    in Beginners Web Design

    Posted

    -moz-border-radius: 12px 12px 12px 12px;

     

    This is the code from the Killer PHP videos on youtube, here:

     

    http://www.youtube.com/user/killerphp#p/u/140/AjpBnzhq8D0

     

    I found it useful :)

     

    Although it only works for Firefox, its suits the majority...

     

    Also, on fireworks, i believe rounded edges is just shown as 'Bevel', or you create a round edged rectangle :)

    But that may be from a version thats quite old, so im uncertain.

     

    Hope i helped :D

  23. my first client

    in Advanced Web Design

    Posted

    The website is great for a first, definatly!

     

    I have only created templates so far, so your already steps above me...

     

    The only suggestion i would make is very minor, but a suggestion all the same. The sidebar at the left has images which contain the same link as the descriptive text - and i personally think it would look better if they were contained within the same link tag so that if you hover over the image, the link changes color anyway.

     

    It just shows viewers that both links take you to the same place, and it looks quite professional too :)

  24. Easy updateable photo gallery

    in Beginners Web Design

    Posted

    I don't use any CMS software personally, but i did use Joomla about a month ago, and i personally think creating a new template from scratch, or editing one, is quite hard as the CSS of the pages are always overly complicated than what they need...

     

    And there is a very small number of templates online, or at least free ones.

     

    I think the experienced wed designers here generally recommend wordpress, there seems to be a big stock of templates, and most people tell me its easy to use.

     

    Hope that helps, and i hope anyone else can consolidate :)
