Little Feet Child Care I posted this about a week ago and the thread disappeared (or was deleted?). I'm not sure what happened. But here it is again.
I like the site a lot very simple, runs fast, looks good. Job well done chad. Did you build this from scratch or use a template, third party app, etc.?
Thanks! I've been developing software for the desktop for several years but this is my first web project. I built the site from scratch and I worked with a graphic designer for the layout and artwork (I'd highly recommend her work if anyone is looking to hire a designer -- let me know). Things learned: Javascript is EXTREMELY flexible but quirky I need a better plan for how I handle CSS. My CSS for this site feels a little messy to me but don't have anything to compare it against Winhost ROCKS! Love this service. Cheap, fast, easy-to-use Web programming is a different beast from desktop client/server development Internet Explorer 7 and earlier is the epitome of crap
You may want to look at this link for some guidelines on best practices for maintaining your CSS. http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/05/10-best-css-practices-to-improve-your-code/
Ahhhh, thanks. I've read a few articles and blogs on this topic but there are a couple good tips in there I haven't seen before.
Very nice site, I love the simple layout, the color scheme and the photos. Good job for your first site. CSS/HTML and Javascript of course are a major pain to get used to after coming from desktop programming myself as well but once you get the hang of it you will love the power of it.
