I know HTML, CSS and .NET pretty well, but I've only ever built static sites. A lot of my clients are small businesses whose sites are made up of 5-10 pages. Even though the sites are small, the business owners want to be able to edit the content themselves. Question: should I code up the pages myself and pull the content from a CMS lik...
I've been developing websites for over a decade now, but quickly found that many of my habits in developing for the web are useless when developing for email clients. This has caused me an enormous amount of frustration, so I thought I would ask a question that would hopefully surface the best practices and necessary considerations for o...
Im learning asp.net mvc and have been investigating jquery and the like. As yet I havent found a calendar that is actually any good for inputting a date of birth. It often involves masses of scrolling to find the correct year! It is often easier/quicker to just type it in. Just wondering if anyone had found any examples of good calenda...
I have designed many web-templates. But (except my first one) I've never used browser detection scripts to load corresponding CSS. I am not sure whether it is a good technique, or just an alternative way (to struggle with a single CSS to satisfy all the browsers)? ...
Accordions can provide flashy effects, but with regard to usability, when is it appropriate to use them? For example, in a menu tree with lots of options, an accordion can provide better overview of the categories. On the other hand, if I want to see all options available, I have to click around a lot. When do you use accordions? Thank...
Is there any good JavaScript/jQuery plug-in that will 'quicklook' an image on click? I want it simple so when you click the image thumbnail it just zooms out to full size. Ideally it would be set up by just giving said image a class and the JavaScript/jQuery does the rest. Similar to the some on the images on this page of Apple.com, s...

I am an experienced programmer, and I have a few little ideas that I think would work really well as PHP based web applications. I have no problem with learning PHP, mySQL, etc, but I do have a problem with the design of a webpage in itself. I am used to interface design ala Interface Builder and Swing, where there are some clearly defi...
Hi I'm working on a website that's already been designed by someone else. The designer has used a big image (900x700 100KB) which contains a big logo right across the top, then the background for two columns. This image loads every time a page is loaded as it forms the basis for the website. What should I do with it to improve loading ...
This is a design question. I have data that needs to go into an HTML table, which will later be manipulated by the user. Basically the user will be able to select items in the table rows. I have two options - in both cases I'm using AJAX to get the data: Create the HTML code using PHP on the server side, send it to the client as HTML....
We have a framework that offers A/B split testing. You have a 'champion' version of a page and you develop a 'challenger' version of it. Then you run the website and allocate some of your users the champion and some the challenger and measure their different responses. If the challenger is better than the champion at achieving your me...

I am looking for a button that will allow the user to "share this page" on twitter. I can find one for "follow me on twitter" but not where...

I am developing requirements for a new website design for my company. I have noticed that we have a fair number of pages that have only a few sentences of information on them. These pages cover a range of topics that are unrelated to each other and unrelated to other larger sections. I was thinking about incorporating them into an FAQ...
