    To www or not to www? That's the question

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 04:44 AM PST

    Which one do you prefer more? WWW-d domains or "naked" domains? Why?

    Freelancers: In your experience, what makes a great "cold" email to a potential client?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:32 PM PST

    I'm gearing up to spend all of next week off from my job, and plan to spend the majority of it looking for and cold emailing potential clients.

    In your experience, what makes a good initial cold contact email? Is it best to outline the pitfalls of the client's current website (or lack of one), and then highlight all that I can do for them whilst attaching a couple projects from my portfolio?

    I'm totally expecting a dismal reply rate with this method, but it only takes one person to bite.

    How do I improve my CSS practices?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:19 PM PST

    I have a single-page application and I decided to take a look at the minified CSS file today and it's way bigger than I thought. I looked at some very big SPA websites and their main CSS file is smaller than mine.

    How do I make sure that my SCSS practices are optimized? Is there any sort of documentation I can follow?

    I'm using React and I'm minimizing all of my CSS code into one file.

    What projects made you a better front end developer?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:14 PM PST

    I've been learning HTML, CSS and Javascript and its assorted libraries and frameworks for several months, and have moved onto backend. However, I want to solidify my skills in things like jQuery/general DOM manipulation because front end jobs are the ones I can really comfortably go for right now. There are so many options and ideas for projects, but I'm curious about what were the most rewarding for you? Any links to your work or good resources for quality project ideas are welcome, and any insight into why they helped you become a better developer would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

    JavaScript Libraries for Dashboard/Card Interactions?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:35 PM PST

    Hey guys!

    My team and I are having a tough time finding certain JavaScript libraries to facilitate certain actions within a dashboard environment.

    Within a custom dashboard environment we need to...

    • place cards into an "active state" (akin to iOS wiggle)
    • be able to rearrange cards on a defined grid
    • be able to resize cards to a defined snappable grid
    • have cards dynamically rearrange while resizing a card

    Does anyone have suggestions of which JavaScript plugins/libraries could best help with our needs?

    What's the most hacker proof forum software?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 09:03 AM PST

    I haven't run a forum since vBulletin v3.x. That was a nightmare of hacking and spam. It felt like a game of whack a mole that I could never win.

    Fast forwarding to 2017, are there any self-hosted forum packages that are reasonably hacker proof? Or am I relegated to using hosted solutions like Invision?

    Getting freelance work by designing the homepage?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 04:30 AM PST

    Has anyone had any experience with this? Seems like a lot of work but I was considering designing a homepage for some local businesses and emailing it to try and get their interest. Its a risk as a lot of time could be wasted designing pages that are never seen, but potential clients might be more reponsive if they had an idea of what their site could potentionally look like!

    Large project. What'd be better to use?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 09:43 AM PST

    Hello, Reddit people. Currently, I've built a web application based on CodeIgniter3. It worked pretty fine at the beginning, but now it's getting slower and slower because developing new features, etc. There is a lot of AJAX loaded content that refreshes every (5-10 seconds) to get data from database. Now I'm thinking about rebuilding the whole project. What'd you recommend to use? What do you think is better for front-end and back-end? Easy to maintain and fast working with MySQL?

    Modernizing Workflow for CMS Developer

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 10:15 AM PST

    Hi /r/webdev

    !! Sorry wall of text incoming, but I'm in need of assistance !!

    I got my first job working for a small agency creating websites with CMS like Typo3, Contenido & WP for a year now but I'm starting to worry that the way we (or me primarily) are working to get sites online are outdated and I want to change some stuff to not get lost should i lose my job.

    There are only 2 designers and 2 devs (one of them is me) excluding our boss who does marketing and customer stuff.

    The other dev is fairly old and has been for the company for 15 years now, and is a classical home-learned webdev. He doesn't really embrace new tech and it shows in the code, too - but thats another story.

    Currently when we design a website, we get a design from our designers.

    We then create a new customer with Plesk, download the latest distribtion of the CMS (Contenido for instance) and upload it and install it to the customers webspace.

    Then comes the part where I think something hasn't changed for years:

    We log into the server via FTP and edit LESS files (which get converted to CSS via a PHP script and LESS.c), JS files and develop "modules" for the CMS.

    A page consists of multiple modules, for example 1 for meta tags, 1 for a headline on the site, 1 for a calendar-widget on the side, 1 for the navigation etc.

    Each module is basically Front- and Backend and seperated from each other.

    The modules can be edited inside the CMS, which are just files on the server but you can also open the file via FTP.

    The problem is: This just doesn't look and sound very professional (or modern in 2017).

    The same goes for CSS (or LESS). I just open the file via FTP, edit it, save it, open FileZilla to upload it again. Refresh the page to see what changed.

    For including libraries: When I need a parallax effect for a picture I download the library, upload it to the server and edit the template to include the library via <script src=/path/file.js"> sometimes doing this step for multiple templates.

    I hate it.

    Does anyone know of a better way to develop this? Or is this the way CMS development works? Whenever I read about the cool stuff like webpack, bower etc. it just doesnt work this way for me.

    Thanks.

    TL;DR: Web-deving for a year, CMS development we do is hell and seems like something you did 20 years ago.

    Question: What are the important certificates for front-end developer?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 02:18 PM PST

    Hi reddit,

    I'm a highly motivated front-end developer. I want to build my career with good foundation of technology stack and both programming and soft skills. I'm searching for good certificates I could acquire in the future.

    I'm currently looking forward to pass MCSD-70-480 in the following year and complete some other courses :)

    Which ones do you recommend? I seek for well known and important certs. Thanks! :)

    [Question] Under what circumstances would you add information to HTTP Request Headers?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 10:11 AM PST

    Is it common practice to use HTTP Request Headers for proprietary information? Or is it more related to browser interactions?

    Alternative for the c9 IDE?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 01:54 PM PST

    Hello, I've recently been wanting to learn web developement, and am currently taking This Upskill course. I'm still in the introduction-part, and got instructed to use the c9 IDE.

    I think Amazon owns c9 IDE now, however, and as I would like to avoid paying for it or using some Amaazon trial (it was free at the time the course was made), my question is - do you know an alternative for the c9 IDE?

    As I can't access the c9 IDE, I haven't progressed through the course enough to know what the alternative IDE should be capable of in order for it to somewhat match the c9 IDE in power, thus allowing me to take the course, even without the c9 IDE.

    I hope this is the right place to post this sort of stuff - if not, I'm sorry.

    Any suggestions are appreciated very much, thanks a lot.

    Edit: just read the frontpage, I guess this change is new to you guys as well? As in it came out today?

    Looking at taking the big step of hiring a professional web developer/designer for my business. What are some of the main things I should look for when deciding who to contract? [x-post from /r/web_design]

    Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:55 PM PST

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but any help is seriously appreciated!

    My company has been using a cheap GoDaddy domain for a few years and, frankly, it looks unprofessional and cheap. We've expanded to the point where I want to allocate a legitimate budget to build a website we can be proud of. The main issue is this: I know very little about where to start and what this entails. That includes what questions I should even be asking when doing research, and that's arguably the most important. I have a few basic questions and any that you could add/answer would be fantastic! (Also please note we already have a logo/brand so that can be factored out.)

    • What does a job like this cost? $1,000? $5,000? $20,000?

    • How long is the process from start to finish? (Including communication, programming, design, etc.)

    • What am I getting when I pay more? If I find someone with a portfolio with brilliant web designs that's charging $250, what would be the difference between them and someone with an equal portfolio (appearance-wise) that charges considerably more?

    • Do web developers usually do web design as well or will I have to hire both a developer and a designer?

    Those are really the only questions I can think of right now so, as you can see, I have a lot to learn.
