  • Feedback on a design

    @Vermass Thanks for your feedback. Sorry too say this, but despite the logo nothing is about basketball: no real basketball colors (too soft) I don't really know how this is true because I have used many different shades of Orange, I can…

  • First website Ideas

    Yeah, that sounds like a good base point. Just go from that and ideas will just flow etc. Good luck.

  • First website Ideas

    Yeah it was just a totally random idea. I by no means have made it for a client nor is it a real business. One day I just felt creative so I just started designing then coded up the page.

    Surely you don't lack that much inspiration and ideas that you need to ask others to give you an initial starting point. Just make something up...anything. I drawn out a bulls eye shape using one of the tools on Photoshop and came up with a n…

  • Advanced Custom Fields displaying 'Array' instead of showing image

    I was about to say you have to wrap it in but you already figured it out. I had the same problem the other week and couldn't figure it out.

    I will be adding current page styling to the tabs, but I'll just be using the .current-page-item class to do it in WordPress :)

    @TheInfection - thanks, I think I will add a subtle box shadow at some stage of development, I will also be using jQuery for the transitions on the links for the extended browser support, although if a user who has a non-supported browser then it�…

    Wow! I can't believe I failed as much as that...apologies man. Looks like Paulie is going to get an unnecessary email :/

    @Paulie_D - the logo was made by the client, I will look into making it more compatible with the colour scheme or I may even change the colour of the ball to a more realistic colour rather than the dark brown. Cheers :)

    Cheers guys! @jurotek - I have increased the font size in the navigation, I agree it was quite small, I liked uppercase too, but I prefer the increased font size more :)

  • Best way to link to other pages in wordpress

    I think it's down to personal preference really, but I prefer to have my permalink structure set like this; sitename.co.uk/about sitname.co.uk/portfolio I think it just looks neater as opposed to the other types, like I said. It's just …

  • Portfolio re-design feedback

    Cleared the cache and I'm still getting the same results ungortunately. I also noticed that the menu and your logo doesn't appear on page load for some reason. I'm using the buily-in browser with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Maybe it ju…

    Are you sure. My mobile is still showing your header background colour half cut off. Same goes for the footer. I'm assuming its meant to stretch 100% of the browser...

  • Portfolio re-design feedback

    I am on my mobile so it's hard to tell but I'm guessing you're using HTML5 elements such as header, footer etc? My browser is cutting things off like you need something like modenizr or something similar to help with this issue.

    You use Gradient pngs even thought you already require a css3 compatible browser? I'm sure the little kid knows this, he's obviously making it cross browser compatible. @SSchnitzler - you say there is no seperate web for newbies. How…

    Maybe try adding the 5 lines of JS code to the footer of your document? Just before the closing tag?

    Haha @David_Leitch! I remember the website having a yellow background, blue text and a list of my favourite hobbies, the font was styled with Comic Sans everywhere! Plus all of my CSS was inline :/

    To be honest with you @Htmlmainiac - I have been doing web design and development coming up to 2 years now and it was only a couple of months ago that I had to learn how to use WordPress and learn how to edit the file structure. Also when I complet…

  • The Price Is Right - How much would you charge for this Wordpress project?

    @djdaniel150 you love to absolutely position all of your elements on websites. I personally would not pay a tonne of money for that. Nor would I pay a tonne of money for a template that has just been uploaded to the themes folder and activated. Wha…

    @chrisburton - Ahh right, I see. It must just be the way Chrome renders custom fonts. All jaggerdy and gross looking.

  • IE10 - What do you think of it?

    @chrisburton - really!? It would be cool if Microsoft paired up with Mozilla and/or Google to make the experience better, my favourite browser is still Chrome. Although it has this horrid TypeKit bug I believe that makes CSS-Tricks look ugly =(
