« Previous EntriesWhat Screen Resolution to Design For?
A few years ago the word on the street among developers and inside the halls of the design firms was to design your website to fit within a 800 x 600 screen resolution. At the time many grandparents and older Moms were using such a screen size, and it was also a few years before [...]
GoDaddy Servers and E-Commerce Do Not Mix
My recent project with Memphis based Fragrance company Eye Candy Fragrance forced me to dive right into server issues and e-commerce websites with complex products. I had over 700 fragrances which were supposed to link up to 14 different products. Aligning my system like this is quite a load on a ZenCart system I was [...]
PetPinPoint.com – Online Database of Pets
I have just recently closed up operations with PetPinPoint.com, the only online database for pets to be registered. This is a great idea to have a Yellow Pages of pets, if you will, and if one is found roaming the streets a quick look on PetPinPoint.com and you will be able to quickly find their [...]
Flash For Non-Flashers
While working on my most recent project for Louisville, Kentucky’s KaZoing Party and Play, I wanted to include a flash object displaying as many photos of the business as I could. Flash is one of the best resources for programmers and web developers today, depending if they know how to use it for web viewers [...]
Easily Find Your SEO Score

I enlisted some Craigslist help and [...]

You know how I love open source, so this project is really interesting to me. Open source website analytics by Piwik.

Your Website For More Than One Language
I just got home in the States after spending four months in Korea, and after that a bit in Europe. One thing I understand a lot better after my international travels is the aspect of language, especially language and the internet. One’s language is very important to understanding your product, but if your market has [...]
Tables For Your Website is So 1990
I remember when I worked for a web design firm a few years before I graduated from college. Ah, the good ole days when Style Sheets on every website was just starting to take effect even in design firms, while the smart freelancers in their underwear had been privy for quite some time. I remember [...]
Backing Up Your Website is This Easy
I remember when I was in college and I was writing a 30 page essay for one of my graduate level English classes. Page after page of work, weeks and weeks spent, and one day the library computer I was working on (Windows based of course) crashed, leaving me back to the start of my [...]
