Searching the text within a PDF?
That's where I eventually ended up recommending. It's probably roughly 900 to 1100 pages of text to copy, but I think it would probably be worth it in the end to actually have that as real content instead of PDF's only.

Searching the text within a PDF?
Hmmm that last line is interesting. Basically, the situation is these guys have a library of like 75 archived "issues" of PDF's that are just in a massive list. Most of these are in just text with a couple of images. They were hopi…

Anyone recently mess with Drupal?
Just reading what Views are, they look like they function almost exactly like loop functions or custom post types. Are they significantly more flexible in some way or am I misunderstanding what Views do?

Anyone recently mess with Drupal?
Well, after working with it a little, I can definitely say that at this point Joomla is now officially the worst CMS I've ever used. The one thing I can say Drupal gets overwhelmingly right is the interaction of the page editing. It "fee…

WordPress: Yes? No? Maybe?
@KevinOrin can you clarify what you see that makes it a good candidate for Drupal? I'm just curious what stands out to you.

The scope of Blogging
If you do some basic market research, what you'll find is that the internet is totally flooded with designer, developer, musician and gamer blogs. Usually, a successful blog starts off as a passion that evolves into something else. What typic…

What do you suggest?
Eh, I gotta agree with Mr. Burton. It's one thing to make a bunch of designs to get feedback on. But it's quite another to show a few examples, incessantly ask for people to provide ideas and when some person bites and gives an idea it&#…

Thoughts on design and copy
If you don't redesign the whole thing, I'd say once you get it in a finished state, start think about v2 right away. I agree that from what I've seen of your talents, a minimalist site is the way to go. Ideally, I think you should d…

Client amendments
Take this for exactly what it is: a learning experience. Your next gig needs a contact. Even if you develop a relatively simple contract, you've got to start going in that direction. But I'll say this - the value of the contact 99% of t…

Thoughts on a site
@tannercampbell Hmmm I don't know if I would make it a link to a blog entry... but maybe it has to be that way. In my mind, you have to somehow tie together a lot of different people's feedback into one place you can access it. I wonder …

Thoughts on a site
I think it's an interesting concept, but the value is in fleshing the concept out a bit. You know, there are a lot of people who have similar, yet totally different experiences. What would be an interesting thing to find out is if you ended u…

Video vs Text tutorials
I've always liked it best when the video tutorial also just included everything below :) Then I got to choose!

What's the skinny with Dribbble?
Thanks for all the feedback - I can definitely see how it can become a source for people to just rip off work. Good discussion :) I think I'll throw my self into the mix and see if I get drafted :P It does sounds like a neat place to get mor…

Anyone recently mess with Drupal?
That's OK - I might take you up on it if this project comes through lol. Really appreciate the offer though.

Anyone recently mess with Drupal?
Thanks I appreciate it! Lynda has some extensive training too, so if necessary at least I have that avenue :) Not big on drupal either. For some reason it's known as the "enterprise cms" in some circles. To each his own I suppose!

My website sometimes work and then it doesn't... what could possibly be the problem?
"99% up-time" is the claim that literally every host can give you. Not really much of a selling point there. I can say without even encountering the problem, the site is running (at least right now) ridiculously slow for basic page loadi…

Single page websites
This seems like a site that is in the "too modern for it's own good" category. It's full of all this nifty javascript and metro style navigation that is abstract. But they probably should have stopped to ask how frustrating it …

Sketchbooks for web designers.
100% digital tablet for me. The speed in which you can do basic sketching is incredibly fast compared to the sketchbook and it's much easier if I really get a good set of concepts to start converting it into a more finished product. Nothing b…

Minimalistic web design - How to.. Best practices.. Pro's and cons..
Personally I'm not a fan of the graphs that show what you are proficient in unless it's specifically a resume type site for your own personal qualifications. If the site is for people who would want to hire you for projects, all that stuf…

Using indesign for website layouts
Were they full designs meant to be converted? I personally use InDesign for a lot of things - for example I do both wireframes and proposals through InDesign. But I do think actual completed compositions is an odd choice. I'm pretty sure you…

Sliding Content....?
I agree with Chris - it's built like a slider but it just doesn't have any of the controls. What I'm curious about is whether or not the content all loads at once. These are all definitely 1 page sites with scrolling content. But t…

Wordpress - Best way to set this up properly?
How much and what kind of content does each individual location have or need? I would think the answer to that question would drive how you would set it up. Also, how are the franchises set up - many per city, or is it based on style and all the s…

responsive images inside a div
Can you provide a link or codepen? I'm not quite understanding what you mean in context. Something I've done in the past is similar to this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/FmGjp

Site Advice
You could employ Google's 20/80 where 20% of your time is always dedicated to some kind of random fun project you come up with. Nearly all of Google's innovative ideas has come out of that "fun time" pool. I think it's a g…

Responsive Mobile Navigation In Wordpress
I don't think it's quite a case of "NEVER USE DISPLAY:NONE!". It might fall in the category of ID's versus classes. It's usually never a good idea to use ID's instead of classes, but there are those rare occasion…

Web Design company responsibility when building website
We haven't really heard what was actually in the contract (or if there was even a proposal) and also how much they paid for this website. Both of these factors I think play the biggest role. If we're talking about a professional design c…

Cost of responsive design
I do think charging more than the actual project cost for making the layout responsive is crazy. I'm pretty straight forward with people about what "responsive" means. I definitely agree it's one of those buzzwords that gets to…

Please give your honest opinion about my new website
I imagine this is going to be like cutting back the layers of rock to reveal the figure inside. I think the spacing is the number one issue - not just padding, but the text itself needs to have some line height added to it. So definitely do that f…
