Ok so a contract is between you and your customer.. It isn't a legal requirement but it's there to protect you (and the customer) in case something goes wrong (eg; the client doesn't pay, becomes unnecessarily difficult, moves the goal posts etc..). essentially a contract is a set of 'rules'...

I'd steer well clear of wix. if you want to go for s SaaS solution I'd say Squarespace is the market leader at the moment. But as fisicx has suggested a self hosted CMS such as wordpress would give you more flexibility. **Note** Wordpress has two versions.. .com which is a pretty restrictive...

It's becoming more commonplace that companies dont want their suppliers to promote the work they do as it doesn't benefit their business for the competition to know who theyre working with. However, that kind of outlook is usually acompanied by an NDA.

Can anyone recommend a simple time/project tracking app for mac? I've just taken on a client on a retainer and we've agreed that part of my monthly invoice will include a schedule of work completed. I could keep a spreadsheet but that seemed a little clunky so I've been looking at time tracking...

I used to work for a company who (in my opinion) had the "fun" thing just about right. There was a pool table in the kitchen which was used reasonably frequently. On fridays we'd do beer o'clock where we'd all stop work half an hour early, grab a drink out of the fridge (paid for by the boss)...

I have a sneaking suspicion this was just a good excuse to post a link to a website for an agency in Pakistan.

Do you want honest feedback?... The code is a complete mess, you're loading 100's of fonts and 1000's of css declarations inline, most of which are unnecessary. 80% of your the homepage's load time is due to script requests which is completely unnecessary on such a basic site... BUT I guess...

I'd agree, the subtle use of animation can make a site feel more engaging and interactive.. It's when you get someone whot starts animating elements 'becuase they can' that it looks over the top and tacky.

It's six of one and half a dozen of the other for me. If its a simple animation or transition then I'd lean towards scss. However as things get more complex I'd prefer use js. This article is quite an interesting read on the subject.

The wowjs library is a pretty good place to start for this kind of thing (the site is awful but you can use the library for some pretty impressive stuff). Be aware however that google can't crawl content hidden by wow, which has an obvious knock on effect with rankings. We used it for a...

Have you tried the lens flare tool in PS? Filter > Render > Lens Flare
