| 144334 | 2003-05-16 07:10:00 | Hey Snaggle! Steady on :O Using Google to help others is not cheating. Nobody knows everything, and some don't yet know how to search for themselves. As for the OT chat, that's the community of PF1 and anyway, most of the real OT stuff is saved for Chat F1. The social and humorous exchanges here are one of the attractions that keeps us coming back. When we do, apart from recent and rather noticeable exceptions, we usually try to help people. Occasionally advanced brain fade takes over and you get stu's somewhat traumatic experience. Meantime, the "fractional" majority of us will carry on doing what we do, and once in a while somebody will get seriously helped. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

There are many like me who cruise by occasionally and are probably amused and bemused by the OT's, and if we're really lucky, learn something along the way from the genuine PC-related posts where answers & solutions are sought and given. I hear the PC tech industry is still thriving despite PressF1. Snag |

| 144338 | 2003-05-16 10:00:00 | Stu, Just a few words of advice from someone who has no Web Design skills, but has some business experience and a daughter who has done some of this stuff at Tech . At the moment you appear to have mastered some of the skills to implement a Web Page . This is like being a mechanic, you can put the stuff together to work . Taking the car analogy a bit further you need to become a car Designer Unfortunately the real skill in Web Design is to make the site Cool and Impressive to the client and his customers . When you are talking about people spending MONEY it has to be just right! A conservative businessman wanting to reflect his business's upmarket IMAGE does not want (the car thing again) Boom boxes, undercar lighting and Doughnuts . Web design is about good efficient design and effective presentation . In some ways it is like a design culture or fashion, it must be learned but you still need intuition and taste (otherwise your car just looks like everyone else's) . Simplicity is important . The programming side is important for technical reasons . Security, quick load, expandability etc etc . Look at well regarded sites asses them; who are they aimed at,what are their strengths, weaknesses? Become a site connoisseur . Try to keep your standards to a similar level . Take time to understand your client's needs and expectations, try to exceed them . Keep it as simple and direct as possible . |
