Editing live with SASS
For small websites, $1000 jobs of ye' olde average web worker, this whole "local only" workflow can be a pain... Especially if you have maintenance contracts with your clients. If you're not on your main working system and a cli…

Need to track no of users visiting the site ?
I guess there are edge cases where people want to see the stats, just like people need the youtube view counter, however please don't try to bring back the old 1990's page-counter fad ;)

What language/technique should I use?
AJAX is pretty good for this situation and is pretty easy to use even without properly "learning" it, take a look at starting from a theme, especially a blank one like All Ajax Theme

I have a very stupid, easy question.
I also couldn't understand the question properly, but as Chrisburton mentioned margin-bottom was the first thing that came to mind. Basically if you just want space under every paragraph use margin-bottom on all your P tags. If you are formatt…

Mobile development/responsive design. Where am i going wrong?
Firstly, it seems to be working responsively on my end using Chrome. All I see is a single style-sheet with media queries at the bottom so what are you actually asking or did you solve it? #confused. ;) Usually the reasoning behind wanting a single…

How to decode this javascript
@Mottie I want to decode javascript not PHP.... lol? The bookmarklet is for javascript?
-
How many media queries is too many?
I've been thinking about the same question. I think the only real "issue" with doing it this way (which is indeed very awesome!) is the code bloat it produces instead of a condensed block down the bottom. As you have stated you would …

Javascript Noob Question (swipe.js)

HTML Image Map
@goalieman34 You need to set a logical parent container to "position: relative" so that when you set "position: absolute" on each link, it will have the correct context. For example the way your mark-up is currently, the #conte…

Is this a good forum for beginners?
@BenWalker nailed it. As long as people don't expect the forums to basically do their job for them, they'll usually get the answers they're looking for. Generally the quality of help provided by this forum is outstanding. There are …

Compass/Sass on Windows
Google "scout sass" and use that. It's awesome. Unfortunately it's not being updated/maintained far as I can tell but it works great. The only issue I had was updated java (jr7) and it was still trying to find "jr6", …

E-commerce Suggestions?
Thanks for the suggestions, I've heard a lot about Magento, people seem very split down the middle with it. I hear it's very resource intensive and bloated from some, others say it's comprehensive and amazing. I will definitely look i…

What kind of Degree did you get in Web Dev?
Another self taught here. The best way to learn is follow the pro's: Read their blog, watch/read their tutorials, and if possible attend their conferences. I have degree's but they're useless at this point (no employer has even ask…

XHTML of HTML5
There isn't really any reason not to use HTML5 these days. Start off slowly, getting into the new elements as you feel comfortable. Make sure you normalise the new elements and include the html5 shiv for IE support. (if you're not sure on…

Jquery effect like Disjointed Rollover ......
Yes, thanks @Mottie for taking the time to re-factor our code and providing some nice advice. It really does help getting feedback from the pro's. Hope this thread has helped you find your answers, @autodefrost. ;)

Jquery effect like Disjointed Rollover ......
I also just started learning, taking @joshuanhibbert's example, mine would have looked something similar to this: http://jsfiddle.net/sliver37/HSB9h/ If it doesn't work, It's because I haven't used fiddle until now, will work i…

how can i protect my template from thiefs ...?
Not a good idea in my opinion. I mean that in the least offensive way possible. What you are trying to do is absolutely justifiable and good, but unfortunately thieves will always steal it if they want it enough. You will end up making it harder t…

Average clients budget?
Agreed with the above, I know it sucks when the only response you get to pricing information is "It depends" but that's literally how it is. I was recently having a conversation with another local design business about their pricing …

@JamesBarnsley I don't work solo, small partnership, front-end/back-end. We charge between $60-$100/hr. Depending on the company/project. Define your target market, and get into it! Your prices will change as you gain experience, if you spen…

How much do you charge per hour?
@chriscoyier Hey Chris, curious, how many employees were on the payroll at your previous job? @JamesBarnsley A good way to judge your hourly wage is grab the contact information of all the local competitors you can find, and send them a "fake…

How Big a site can Wordpress handle as a CMS?
Yeah a Government website tends to have 1000's of redundant/outdated pages. On the topic, I don't see why WordPress wouldn't be capable. The main factor in using WordPress is how clever you are at customizing content input, and sor…

How Chris Do This
It's three different images combined into a sprite. Use media queries for different page widths, and change the background position of the sprite to show a different portion of the frog. Apply a small CSS transition with opacity to get the f…

Tough Clients (rabble, rabble, rabble)
