Web design critique and advice
@op, I'm viewing it on IE10 and on the nav bar the current page is signalled by a strikethrough. Is that intentional? It looks odd. Also, unlike all the other sections, nothing happens when you hover on «contact» , which ends up being sublimin…

@Jarolin Because I'm not one. "Web-wannabe", more like it.

Feedback On Freshly Launched Site
Ok, I'll give it a shot. For the record, I use IE 10 running on Windows 8. Issues I've come across: The alternation between paragraphs and horizontal blocks of images is quite arrhythmic. It sacrifices any sense of vertical flow and ac…

Website Feedback Request
@OP, I have a few suggestions (IE10 / windows 8 ): Justification. You've gone with forced justification. Because, most of the times, there's no hyphenation, hanging punctuation or kerning applied, forced justification usually looks awfu…

Critique on new website.
@attilahajzer , It takes guts to expose oneself to open criticism. Please do not mitigate that step you courageously took by instructing us on how to critique. Negative mindless bashing is self-evident. You will know when such a post hits you. On…

Modern website with Helvetica??
@chrisburton My point's exactly. A teacher of mine had me design an entire paper on Times New Roman. I modestly say it came out wonderful. Composition trumps individual font choices. Helvetica can be put to dreadful, pristine and anything in…

Modern website with Helvetica??
I feel that saying Helvetica is old-fashioned could be equated with claiming the color red is dated... I have been witness to instances where, say, a Gothic typeface has been put to great use. It certainly didn't feel dated. Should you want t…

TypeKit vs Google Web Fonts
@alanshortis , What are the differences/advantages/disadvantages of using @import vs. @font-face?

TypeKit vs Google Web Fonts
In all fairness, Typekit selection is vastly superior. Some of the best fonts ever designed are on Typekit: FF Scala, FF Absara, FF Meta, Adobe Minion, Futura, Gill Sans, and other masterful creations. You just don't get this plateau of qualit…

The praxis of right click blocking
@Senff I was talking about their forwarded example: http://kristinabazan.net/gallery/17636/portfolio/ built with portfoliobox, not portoliobox.net itself. @TheDoc Truth be told, my mind isn't made up about this. Because casual users certai…

The praxis of right click blocking
@Senff , Fair enough. You do have a point. It just seems to me that for people who want to generate income from the goods they offer on their sites, one's too many. Have you checked their featured sites. Take http://kristinabazan.net/gallery/…

The praxis of right click blocking
Guys, guys, I do realize all that. I'm just wondering whether in this case - http://www.portfoliobox.net/ Their method appears to circumvent the usual hack of download the files and grabbing the pick. If this turns out to be true, the combi…

I just realized I may have posted this on the wrong forum. Perhaps a mod could kindly move this over to JavaScript Jungle? Much appreciated.

Conceptual Problem in need of a practical solution
@TheDoc, Last few questions, then I'll be off: I have this lingering aftertaste that Wordpress might be overkill. I then remembered I have bee using Webmatrix2/Visual Studio Express as my code editors and that webmatrix2 integrates nicely …

Conceptual Problem in need of a practical solution
@DOC, I think I may have seen The Light. Hi guys! This is what I have in mind: The entire site loads upfront but for the notable exception of the blog, so that when the user clicks on a link the appropriate new content is shown without the user …

Conceptual Problem in need of a practical solution
@TheDoc Beat me to it. I have just realized that. After some research on the matter, I think I'm going with Wordpress. After all, CSS tricks is built upon it , isn't it? What I need to get straight is the workflow, given my main concern…

Conceptual Problem in need of a practical solution
@traq, Thank you very much. Very informative. And rest assured, no offense, none taken. Self-proclaimed newbie with an open chest: bring it on. I have browsed around Wordpress homepage, and it seems to me they charge some hefty yearly 30 bucks in …

Conceptual Problem in need of a practical solution
@BenWalker, Thank you for your reply. Which CMS that afford me full control over which elements are displayed, how and when they are displayed , would you recommend? Another question, since the blog won't allow comments, search nor have soci…

Conceptual Problem in need of a practical solution
Let me clarify: It's a lean website. 7 pages, static but for the Blog. Even the storefront will only feature a - one - item at any given time. It's a simple website. I don't want to, see no need to, hardly have the knowledge to bui…
