  • Problems with CSS Menu

    Well, the issue seems to be in your sites original CSS somewhere. In other words, the issue existed prior to adding the menu, so there is a rogue style declaration messing with your menu. I copy/pasted the code into a codepen and it worked just fine…

  • Opinions on CSS Frameworks

    That is just it in my opinion. A bunch of extra stuff you will more than likely never use. Unless you learn the framework you will be using in and out and apply everything to every project, I think it is better to collect various snippets as I go th…

    Red flag. Never do work without a contract. You need to learn more about them prior to doing anymore work or your clients will keep disputing payments and screwing you over because you are basically inviting them to. Get your butt covered man, go ge…

  • Website Design Question

    It is generally best to have a visual blueprint up or at least the structure sketched up so you have something to work off of. I don't believe that it is ever a good idea to just start without some kind of starting point.

  • Returning every third odd number within a user specified range

    I am going to expand on this so using an array will make it easier for me to work with when i get that far... Here is my thought on using the splice idea, I think this one works just fine actually for my purpose: var arr = [1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,…

  • Background Picture does not show up after using FTP

    To expand on what @Paulie_D said: You may want to double check that the file extension and case are the same as the original. This.file is not the same as this.file

  • Background Color Leaks Into Footer

    The issue with your background color is simply that you have the footer width set to 100%. So when you have a smaller window then resize it, the background color appears... You could add a min-width of 1004px...

  • Absolute or Relative image linking, does this matter for SEO

    In fact, page load time can in fact affect rankings now... And as far as linking works in SEO, you really want everything to link back to your own original content...ergo, as long as the links are absolute to your site, then it won't affect an…

  • Critique my new website + Sticky Footer Problems

    Hmm, I really like it, a couple things are a little iffy...The contact button, I don't see why it isn't inline with the other nav items, having it way to the right makes it a bit awkward. Also, the extra wide sidebar, doesn't really f…

  • Easy best way to develope WP site before launch?

    I actually just used my ftp and modified the default page to suit my needs...if you use absolute paths (via your theme folder etc...) you shouldn't have to use inline styles...just reference them as you would normally.

    I enjoyed it overall quite a bit. I would suggest adding a little margin on the menu items because hovering an item immediately to the left or right of an item currently active causes a weird look...otherwise I really like how clean an minimal it is…

  • Easy best way to develope WP site before launch?

    Yes, you can define a custom page as you see fit... and XAMPP(windows) or MAMP(mac) is simply a local server that allows to work, well, locally :) The plugin I use is called "Under Construction"...By I think Jeremy Massel (or something l…

  • Trying to Identify a Slider

    The "snap points" are not a native feature of flux...it is a custom coded jquery feature used in conjunction with flux. ref: http://sold.parkerandkent.com/sold/wp-content/themes/pk2012_sold/js/pk.js?ver=3.4.2

    I think personally you should also rethink the colors of the scroll bar, perhaps using the red or yellow so the brown and green dont clash with the header and background... also, to add a little extra you could change the selection color to match y…
