    How to Build a Web Design Business

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 10:03 AM PDT

    Any recommendations on a CMS that is theme-able, flat-file and free?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 09:08 AM PDT

    Hi.

    I am trying to migrate my blog from Jekyll to something with a PHP backend. I have been looking for one for the past few days, but somehow I haven't been able to find something that satisfies these 4 criteria:

    1. Themeable (I have already designed a frontend that I'd like to convert into a theme with minimal friction)
    2. Flat-file
    3. Has a WYSIWIG content editor (With markdown, I always end up writing huge walls of text)
    4. Free/Open source for non-commercial use

    Grav looked nice but it seems to rely heavily on YAML and Markdown. It does have a WYSIWYG editor plugin but only for main pages and not for actual content.

    Bludit's documentation touches on creating your own theme but very very slightly. Also, I'm not sure how I'd go about theming the plugins like search and stuff.

    Nibbleblog's documentation is a small FAQ style with nothing important answered.

    I am looking into HTMLy.

    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Does anyone work for or learn web dev for the purposes of creating passive income?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 02:44 PM PDT

    One appeal with learning how to build websites isn't just to build sites for clients - but rather to build sites with value to either my community or a community of people - and to attempt to earn passive income from it.

    Does anyone have success with building sites to satisfy this? Or attempt? This is where my actual interest is. Making sites for me, that I like with the intention of trying to drive traffic to it organically to earn some passive income.

    What say you?

    CSS Grids Single Stylesheet for multiple pages

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 09:26 AM PDT

    I have fallen in love with grids and will never look back. Only problem is I have to make a stylesheet for every page so as to specify grid-template-area and background images. Is there a way to easily combine these all into a single stylesheet?

    My only thought is to @import a main stylesheet ( the one for text color etc) into each pages individual css. But that's still mutiple css sheets, they would just be smaller.

    A good use case for firebase

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 04:49 AM PDT

    As a developer I have often used SQL databases as a data stores. However, the ease of use and sdk's for firebase look interesting and the real time aspect of it is a great selling point. There is one thing I struggle with though, and that is the NoSQL nature of it. It seems whenever I am building an app I have to fight the nature of firebase and I end up switching to a SQL database and a web API. So my question is whether I have yet to come across a good use case for firebase, or am I stuck in thinking of data in a relational model? Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions.

    Requesting Control Panel/Dashboard Access?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 02:58 PM PDT

    How do you go about requesting access to the control panel for a client's website? I'm working as a freelance developer in a small town and am unsure what to write to approach the subject.

    Additionally I'd like to ask; Is asking what the client's budget is an acceptable way of approaching the subject of pay?

    Quick state changes and animation with React, is it worth it?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 08:57 AM PDT

    I came across this site, https://ertdfgcvb.xyz/ the other day, and became instantly enchanted by the text animation on the left where each character would iterate very quickly through a sequence of random characters when scrolling or hovering on the text.

    I tried to recreate this with React to some success but the performance suffered immensely from the hundreds of state updates every second that it looked awful.

    I'm fairly new to the webdev scene and I'd really like to learn more about how and what the original developer likely used to build this - I can't seem to find the right avenue to search online. Or, get some advice on whether something like this is even possible with React or if there is a library or tool I can utilize.

    How much would AWS charge to store 1+ petabyte of image data (check my math please)?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 02:21 PM PDT

    According to this link: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=4 would it be 0.023*50 + 0.022*450 + 0.21*500 = 116.05 / month?

    Then would a CDN only be needed if we wanted the content to be loaded much faster? Is there anything else I should be considering if I want people to be able to download 20+GB at a time?

    Thanks for the help!

    Is there any JS library to visualize (rotate and zoom) a 3d model (.obj file)?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 01:55 PM PDT

    I need to create a website that let the users visualize a 3d model (a .obj file). I tried using three js but I've never used it and couldn't do much. I was wondering if there was a library where all I had to do was import the model and I'm set.

    Lucid Caching on dynamic sites

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 01:43 PM PDT

    Hi, I use Surge (surge.sh) for hosting simple, static sites, and they use a caching method called Lucid Caching that caches everything, but assets have to be checked so that they haven't been changed before the browser serves them, otherwise the new version of the asset is served. A better explanation is on their site: https://surge.sh/help/using-lucid-caching-automatically

    How can I set up caching to be like this on dynamic sites not hosted on Surge? Thanks a lot

    Looking for Java website cheap hosting: jvmhost requests EPP code, should I provide it?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 01:34 PM PDT

    I have a domain name registered at namesilo and I would really like to keep it that way - their tariff plan is cheap and they provide free privacy protection.

    I'm also looking for a hosting provider. I saw jvmhost.com as a recommended provider, so I checked out it site - it gives 1 year of the basic hosting for about $10 dollars. However, when in cart, it requests my domain's EPP code and it looks like it's a requirement, not an offer. What would happen if I give the code to them? Would they technically become the new owner of my domain name, lending it to me? So in a year from now they would be able to charge for the name/privacy much more than namesilo does?

    If anyone can recommend java hosting for less than $20 a year, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Advice for a new developer

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 01:33 PM PDT

    Hi Reddit, I'm a freshly graduated web developer with little if non existent professional experience, I got asked by my ex employer to work on his wordpress website and fix few things, including change few anchors, update details and set up an automated welcome email for subscribers. The workload is not much but my main task is basically consultancy on how to manage the website by himself (I'll teach him how to change the content and manage his professional e-mail) We have a good relationship but we are not exactly friends, so I want to get paid for the job, but still remaining with a lower price than what a professional developer would ask. Any advice on how much a I should ask for?

    What are you using to lint CSS & SASS these days?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 07:30 AM PDT

    As the title suggestions, I'm curious what the popular CSS & SASS linters/formatters are these days.

    If there is a particular tool you always use:

    • Do you have a go-to config from a popular org you use as a base?

      • Do you have your own boilerplate config? Is it public?
      • Do we live in a world with comfortable defaults (like Prettier in the JS world) !?

    As it turns out, I've spent so much time adjusting my editor to match every mangled code base's style I'm dropped into I don't really know what's popular in stylesheets at the moment and I'm a bit put off by that. Is stylelint the front runner? I'd love to hear what you nice people are doing.

    Changing server for domain but what about email....

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 07:19 AM PDT

    I have untypically problem. We are changing server for our app and to be able to do that we also need to change dns's of domain on new server. The problem is that actually we have few email accounts. Is it possible to leave email accounts on oryginal server and just serve website from new server ?. I think that If i wanted to move also emails I guess I need to recreate them on new server but then I lost all emails. I know it depends from the hosting company but most of them share similar capabilities of "redirecting domains". How to solve this problem ?

    Is it possible to make a rich text editor as a chrome extension ?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 04:13 AM PDT

    Hi guys

    I am working on a concept and would like to ask you people over here that is it possible to make a rich text editor kind of extension which opens as a sidebar. You can write text and format it as Bold,Italics,Underlined, List, Hyperlinks , H1,H2,H3 etc but not images or any media attachments

    I just wanted to know if it's actually a feasible thing to do or not. What about saving the data ? AFAIK i can only use the localStorage api . Considering the use case that a user will be able to add a large amount of text , will there be a memory issue ? How can we deal with that ? What if a user copy and pastes a very huge amount of text data in the side panel ? What are strategies that we can use ?

    I think there are 2 options for storage :- 1.) 5 mb of data per extension 2.) Permission for unlimited storage during extension installation . Please correct me if i am wrong.

    What i have been able to find is this discussion on stack overflow.

    I am looking for advice and suggestions. Please help me out

    Thanks :)

    Why is my website running so slowly?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 01:54 AM PDT

    Hey guys, thanks for your answers in advance. My website is currently running dreadfully slow at times although scoring high on google and gtmetrix.

    It's intended to be blazing fast with an emphasis on speed through its development. The website is based on Wordpress. There are few plugins and a small package of light plugins.

    The only heavy plugins are the live chat, and the email pop up.

    I have a 2core 4gb ram server with GoDaddy. I think something is wrong with the server however GoDaddy says I need to upgrade to a more robust server. I'm cuttently getting between 100-150 unique hits per day. The website homepage is 1.28mb. Cloudflare is installed, webcaching with wp-rocket.

    What do you think? Should I upgrade my server or is GoDaddy pulling my leg?

    Websites for children

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 12:15 PM PDT

    I'm attempting to create a website that teaches children (approx age 8 - 14) how to build their very own websites, using good ol' HTML, CSS and JS. But before I start, I thought it would be a good idea to get a feel for what kind of websites kids would want to make for themselves, as I have no idea! So, any web devs with kids between the ages of 8 - 14, what kind of website would they like to make?

    Hi, I am helping create a course for beginners to web design and front-end development. I am looking for inspiration on workshops/assignments in html, css, javascript, or react.js.
