A must watch
Appreciate the info - I'm a big Holmes fan. Hadn't heard of this, and I don't have access to BBC anyway, but I'll look for it. The best Holmes series I've seen is the one (originally from PBS, I believe) starring Jeremy Br…

Menu placement opinions
I agree with deeve007. Forcing, urging, encouraging, steering the user to do something or find what they're looking for in a particular way will cost you returning visits. I assume ALA analyzed their typical visitor and decided that the new pre…

Critique my portfolio?
The site design is, as noted above, reasonably attractive and I think visually pretty clean - much better than a lot of sites. (However the backgrounds - header area and body - aren't doing you any favors.) I strongly agree with the suggestion…

What are some questions you ask a client before making a website?
To add to the above... What sites do you like and what do you like about them? What sites DON'T you like and what DON'T you like about them? What browser do you/your company use?

IE8 and Google
FYI, your website counter section triggered a MalWare alert about a malicious website. I'd get rid of that - nobody uses a visible counter anymore.

Website Feedback Request
Some suggestions: Use the html5 doctype - it's a lot simpler to remember and sets the stage to use HTML5 features. Fix the HTML validation errors; for example, you have several instances of IDs being used more than once per page. No real CSS …

New Site Feedback Please
Just noticed what might be a typo in the first paragraph of What We Do. It reads: "What that means for you is that with one all encompassing website, provided by us, you can reach your customers "on" whether they're on a mobile,…

New Site Feedback Please
I'm late to the party, but want to say: 1) Lovely design; I especially like the colors scheme. And a really nice touch with the two-color main nav items that become one color when hovered. 2) Very slow loading in Firefox (17.0.1) 3) In Safar…

opinion on simple design
I didn't see the site with the gradients everyone mentioned. What I see now I really like. Very nice background texture, and the soft blue color scheme is relaxing and professional looking. I agree with springlab, that when you redo the logo, …

suggest book(s) to start learning jQuery
I appreciate the suggestions, folks. I'll check out the js courses on codeacademy.

No responses after almost a week, so I'll try to mark this closed.

Changing Background
I believe that w3schools has absolutely no affiliation with the W3C. They just want you to assume that they do. And there are many (I'm one of them) who feel that the content on w3schools.com is frequently obsolete, absolutely wrong, and/or mi…

Client work feedback
First of all, congrats and thanks for taking the trouble to validate your HTML (and for the most part your CSS - looks like whatever CSS "errors" are reported aren't really errors). Too bad more people can't be bothered with this…

defining SEO strategy
Great advice, clearly expressed, Josh. The only things I'd like to mention, for those who are new and don't yet know, are: 1) There is no shortage of people touting their systems and products as sure-fire ways to boost your SEO results -…

Another Portfolio Critique Request!
As noted, needs some color - especially on the home page. And I feel that if you have a neutral background, colors that are purer than what you have on other pages pop more. RESUME: I thought it was not advisable to list graduation dates. You'…

Personal Portfolio - Critiques please.....
I apologize for misinterpreting your statement. You are correct that Modernizr includes the html5 shiv. So if you already are using Modernizr, there's no need to separately reference the shiv. If you aren't using Modernizr, then you'…

Personal Portfolio - Critiques please.....
Modernizr does not "enable HTML5" in any browser. If a browser doesn't support border-radius, Modernizr will not magically change that. What Modernizr does is examine the user agent (browser) to determine what features (including HTM…

Site Review
Very nice job on the responsiveness. Things scale and rearrange smoothly. Random Observations: I'm not crazy about the brown background color. Consider using a neutral or almost-neutral color instead. That'll coexist better, and make the…

Website Critique
I agree that it's quite attractive. The predominant grayscale makes those items in color really jump. One thing I noticed is that you have quite a few duplicate IDs. Maybe a good idea to change those to class.

How to solving : CSS selector “:active” not working ?
Yes, the order in which you style the links matters. But I thought the recommended order is link, visited, hover, focus, active (I remember it with Lord Vader's Handle Formerly Annakin). Am I wrong? Has that changed?

Odd positioning in different browers.
the W3C validator still shows an error in line 158: Line 158, Column 74: Stray end tag script. …ipt type="text/javascript" src="http://stats.hosting24.com/count.php"> This is followed by a second error: Line 158, Column…

Odd positioning in different browers.
You have a number of unclosed or improperly closed elements - look here. I'd start there - fixing these may well resolve the layout inconsistencies.

When designing a site for clients...
I ask clients to arrange for their own hosting; although I'll make recommendations if needed. I typically give them an estimate of what it'll cost them for hosting and domain name registration. Agree 100% that GoDaddy is terrible. Hard to…

Is this a good forum for beginners?
Although a little weighted to the intermediate/advanced levels, and heavily weighted to WordPress, I think it's still a good place for beginners. But see the sidebar item called "How To Ask A Good Question" before composing your quest…

possible redesign - critique wanted
Sorry for the belated reply - been away from the computer for a couple of days. I appreciate the suggestions - very helpful and exactly the sort of feedback I was hoping for. I'll see if subtle a texture or gradient adds some visual interest …

HTML form - make one of two fields required
Thanks Chris. As I said, I have zero experience/knowledge of PHP or scripting, but I think I follow your example. Will try it later today. Meanwhile, is it true that there's no way to do this (make it so that either of two fields is required)…

HTML form - make one of two fields required
Thanks for the quick response - I appreciate it. Just to clarify: I was planning on having something (maybe an * with a note "* = required") to indicate required fields, but got stuck on how to indicate that we'd like both but only …

Site Feedback?
Attractive and clean, with a distinct personality and cohesive visual style. I agree with the comments above, especially about the hover state of the logo - that's gotta go.
