    My New Website

    Looks like a default theme you'd get on a portfolio service site. Which isn't a bad thing at all really! I like the simplicity of it. Nice work mate. Might be worth adding a blog or something to add a bit more content to your site for the search engines. It gives people a bit more of an insight...

    Website Analytics

    Another plus one for Google Analytics. Free and powerful. Not sure how they're going to address the EU Cookie Directive though...

    Wordpress theme design?

    It does handle pages quite well though. And the custom posts/taxonomies mean developers can open it up a lot more in the CMS sense. It is a little clumsy adding new post types but the fact you can is good enough for me at the moment!

    Wordpress theme design?

    I used to hate it, and still do in some respects. But not enough to make me try and stop a client from using it. I agree with Chris though, it's becoming a bit of buzz word for people in business who think it will somehow make their sites absolutely fantastic because a friend of friend said to...

    Website help

    Just to be clear, designing websites is a different field from developing them. Most web designers are skilled developers too which is why so many people think web designers are all developers. From the sounds of it you're more the designer type. Learning to develop websites can take a while as...

    Advice/thoughts re TLD

    No problem, Lulu. Probably should've mentioned that the relevent part of that link was a fair bit down the page, though the whole article does give quite a good overview of SEO. That whole section of Google Support is pretty good in all honesty. Seems like your looking into it all properly...

    Advice/thoughts re TLD

    If you're target audience is in the UK, get the .co.uk. I know Google at least uses the TLD as a means of assessing how relevant your content is to a region. Read more. If the funds are there, I'd register them all and redirect all traffic to the .co.uk domain. This'll stop anyone else having...

    Website help

    I'd ditch the flash concept, bud. It's adding unnecessary load time to you page and search engines can't access the content. As Squiddy said, there's no reason not to use HTML and CSS. As it's quite a simple design the code would be tiny so the side would load quicker. The only reason I'd...

    css with html and .php

    The styling should be the same between HTML and PHP, there's not reason for it not to be. Is the outputted source code on both pages exactly the same? I'm thinking you might not have wrapped whatever your echoing in PHP with HTML so the elements won't be styled at all. Examples: Static HTML...

    Click through code

    I'd suggest using Google Analytics for this, you should be able to add a referral 'id' or 'name' to the end of a link to your website which would be unique to each charity you want to work with. This would involve minimal work on your side as all you'd have to do is set up Google Analytics on...
