    I feel duped. How much should I have charged for a small business site?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 05:29 AM PST

    I've been building websites as a hobby for almost 20 years now, but it's not my profession. I'm a photographer and one of my photography clients thas has seen my website work asked if I could transfer her employer's site (small local business) to WordPress. The way she worded it made it sound like she just needed the site moved to WordPress so I quoted $500 (their current site was small and basic so I could have "transferred it to WordPress" in a few hours max). She told the owners I would do it for $1000.. Great!

    This was the beginning of October and what a headache it turned into. She starts sending me mock-ups for a new design, content, etc. It was originally supposed to be 5 pages, it turned into 9. Then she starts sending revision after revision after revision... Change this page name, change this font, change this color, re-arranging how things load on mobile vs desktop, etc..

    I installed analytics then she comes back at me like "can you make sure it's installed correctly? I sent a Mailchimp campaign and nothing showed up. I also know at least 10 people have clicked my Instagram link but it only shows 2 visits from Instagram"

    It took me 30 seconds on google to find Mailchimp needs analytics integrated and Instagram only shows on GA if they click your profile link from the desktop because on mobile it just opens the browser and goes under direct.

    I tell her this and she comes back with something like "I never had issues with the 3 previous builders I worked for"

    Anyways, I'm losing my mind and I'm starting to get VERY salty about this project.. What's a ballpark range that you would have charged for a site like this? $1000 to "transfer a site to WordPress" sounded like a great deal... Now that I know what she truly wanted I feel like this should have easily been in the $3000-$5000+ range with all the customization on mobile vs desktop etc..

    Am I right feeling duped and abused by this girl? I'm almost ready to eat the cost on this project because it's literally not even worth my time considering how many hours I've put into it...

    ReactJS Vapor-/Synthwave Website

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 08:39 AM PST

    Hello internet :)

    What do you think of our new website? We are a young start-up in Switzerland and have specialised in the placement of IT experts in German-speaking countries. We wanted to try something new and developed the website this year: https://www.capalis.ch/

    The website was developed with ReactJS and includes:
    - a lot of Neon
    - a vaporwave soundtrack
    - the IT mastermind Alan Turing on a monolith in marble in the style of a roman statue as it is common in vaporwave
    - a few cyberpunk clouds
    - A dash of Windows 95 for all nostalgics :D

    We hope you like the site :)

    After 2 months of resource digging, I came up with an ultimate guide to get you started with web development and revise your basics for interview prep

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 06:08 AM PST

    For the last few months I have been writing a medium article on what I learned in my 1 year of web development, I started web development last year on 27 Dec with absolute scratch since then I learned a lot of things and I faced a lot of difficulties to which resource is best for which topic. Some times I also got confused by which course to choose, like in react there are so many courses to learn from, Inevitably this leads a person to tutorial hell, but I wrote an article by taking this into consideration and I read 1000s of the article to create an ultimate guide

    I created a tool that scans any website for used Google Fonts and lets you download the fonts and use the CSS for self-hosting

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 02:19 AM PST

    Hey all, I recently looked into the state of using Google Fonts. With Chrome's recent change to use a partitioned browser cache, it's better to self-host your fonts in terms of performance.

    To make the switch easier I fiddled around with Firebase Functions, that fires up a puppeteer instance and scrapes the website in question for used Google Fonts. It's based on the great google-webfonts-helper project.

    https://wicki.io/google-fonts-converter/

    It is super barebones and really really would love to get any feedback on it, so it can be polished and be fully released to possibly help others to make the web faster.

    Cheers!

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:42 AM PST

    I am starting a new job and they use PHP, Larvel and October CMS. I explained I do JavaScript/MERN stack but they still wanted me to come onto the team.

    I have about two weeks before I start so I'd like to come in familiar with both, but whats the best tutorial for learning them without having the be taught the basics of programming?

    Good side hustles/jobs

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 11:52 AM PST

    Hey guys I'm a software engineer but I'm looking for things I can do on the weekends or after work to earn a little extra cash. I'm not really looking to work on huge projects, but rather some side projects that don't take long. Or maybe a site which I can sell stuff on. What are your side hustles?

    Tailwind or Bootstrap?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 01:51 PM PST

    In my opinion, Tailwind is better but I am not sure that Tailwind can replace the "col-breakpoint-size" responsive feature which makes it so easy.

    Muddled between AJAX / Vuejs / Nodejs and other javascripty stuff

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 06:27 AM PST

    Hey All,

    Stupid querstion alert, it's a concept I cannot quite wrap my head around and I am sure it seems obvious and stupid to you guys but please be patient with me.

    I'd like to create a website which is essentially a glorified table with regularly updating data (every 20 seconds or so) and for the first time in my life I'd like to be proud of having a dynamic frontend which doesn't require folks to mash F5 to refresh the data. The backend work is no trouble whatsoever, typically I work with Django but I could just as happily build something in Flask I am sure, in fact I will probably use Flask for this learning experiment.

    What is the modern approach to this solution? My preference would be to learn VueJS whilst building the frontend.

    Things that have me confused:

    I have built AJAX queries in the past to automatically repopulate options in a drop down menu as people type. That said I have read in a lot of places that people now query databases with NodeJS, so what's the difference here?

    This must seem like such a daft confused question but I'm a backend guy so please forgive me the separation between using the frontend to query data and using it to appear beautiful has me lost.

    What are currently popular user session management methods for small/medium/big websites ?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:39 PM PST

    What are currently popular user session management methods for small/medium/big websites ? Server side programming languages dont really matter, just want to know:

    1) What kind of methods are being used and are most popular (cookies only, maybe additional tokens in cookies, temporary sessions in ram, permanent sessions in database/files and so on);

    2) What kind of sacrifices are they making (session lost on server restart, not thread save and session gets corrupted on parallel requests from same user, maybe possible security/privacy issues and so on);

    3) If no sacrifices are being made, how does it affect loading speed for many different users in between/many parallel requests of same user, how it is implemented, are there any synchronization points and so on;

    4) How different web frameworks from all languages handle it all / what are they using;

    5) What do you think is the best approach to it all ?

    6) More interested in what is best for a single server, but multiple server solutions are also not out of the question.

    Which framework would you pick for a Python web scraping dashboard project in 2020?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:34 PM PST

    Hello everyone,

    I'm starting a project where the end goal is to have a web-based dashboard to display data scraped from a few sports stats websites.

    I have no experience with using Python in a full-stack context. I've made web applications using the MERN stack. I would prefer similar frontend flexibility for designing the dashboard UI. Any pointers or resources would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi! I made Notelet - create a website or blog from Notion

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:53 AM PST

    I love using Notion for notes and thought it would be amazing to use it for creating websites or publishing blogs as well. Notion really is the ultimate CMS.

    Here it is http://notelet.so You can try it out without signup needed.

    After creating a site from a Notion doc, you can

    • Change site meta (title, description, favicon)
    • Preview images (for social sharing) and logo
    • Add custom scripts (analytics, chat widgets etc)
    • Dark or light theme
    • Change fonts
    • Add additional links to site headers
    • Customise pretty URLs - i.e. mysite.com/blog/first-post

    all from Notion.

    Examples:

    Blog - http://rainerworks.notelet.so

    Photo portfolio - https://demo-photoblog.notelet.so

    Simple personal landing page - https://demo-personal.notelet.so

    ​

    Hope you guys like it and create sites of your own :)

    Search engine: Looking for feedback

    Posted: 26 Dec 2020 06:38 AM PST

    I'm trying to make a more user-oriented search; published yesterday at [https://www.pageref.org](Link to the site). The about section goes into details about why.

    The site is built in Django, and is server-rendered using templates. There's 1 line of JS in use; I might add more, but only direct DOM manip and calculations, eg for changing settings, saving them in local storage etc. The layout is a mix of a stylesheet and inline styles.

    Looking for technical feedback on site design / usability, speed/responsiveness, and if the project sounds worthwhile. Search is dominated by big players; the about section describes why I added to the field.

    It uses Bing API to start. Categorizes the query. Promotes sites I see as well-behaved; punishes clickbait, SEO abuse, low-quality articles, scammy and spammy stuff, paywall articles, pages with dominating ads etc. Subjective. Specifically queries certain sites depending on the category. Eg, discussion sites for product comparisons over review sites that are trying to sell you things, Arxiv for science questions, Wolfram Alpha for computations, EOL for plants/animals. Currently over-fit to my own search habits, but I hope to generalize.

    Thank you.
