EDIT: Hi, I've passed on all your queries and interests onto the relavent people. Please consider this closed. Thanks. Hello DF. The agency I am working for is looking to outsource our own website to a web developer as we are too busy with client work. What we are looking for is a CMS which we...

Had a good look around and it seems like the best solution is still the iPad with a stylus. Guess we would just have to wait around and see what's coming.

doesn't seem like there's a good stylus solution for the iPad unfortunately :( iPad Stylus - One that is pointy? - Mac Forums ...and from my experience, tablet PCs are generally PC first, tablet second. The touch on them are noway sensitive enough for note taking/ drawing. Do correct me if I'm...

Hi guys, wondering if you could help me out. Is there an iPad alternative which is more suited for creatives? specifically for doing quick drawings and making notes? preferably these notes would be able to be exported as images, or something I can organise on the computer. I've got nothing...

naturally, I'm a developer with a keen eye for design. I never understood dreamweaver to be honest. I always preferred to use a basic text editor such as notepad or (my personal favourite) SciTE to code the webpage, and then have firefox and ie etc up to keep an eye on things as I go along...

I guess We just have a different perception of what "basic design ethics" entails. To me, as long as the design of a website is not down right outrageous (e.g. bright yellow text on a light background with flashing animations) then it is sufficient for the masses. Anything beyond that in most...

A well designed website is worthless without good useful content. The design is only a by product. It's not a priority to the users of the website. With the help of CMSs and templates, it's not that hard to put together a website which satisfies 'basic' design ethics. enough so that the...

Exactly. Your average joe isn't aware of good design. Don't get me wrong, I love a good design, but to the rest of the world, they don't give two ****s.

in terms of design, anything beyond common sense will not be appreciated by the masses. your average joe will not stop while browsing a website to think "oh, how the text here isn't centered makes it soooo much more legible" They will read the text and move on.

it's because the majority of people do not fully appreciate a good design. Lets face it, good designs are only appreciated by other designers and those who are artistically minded. To your accountants or the flower shop around the corner, all they want is a pretty image they can put on...

I was just wondering how many people actually use these to send emails? I have always been with Hotmail and correct me if I'm wrong, hotmail accounts can't make use of these links since they cannot be pop'ed to outlook. And since (I think) the majority of the market is held by hotmail, it...

really? why's that? If it's going to be something personal to me I don't see what use it will be to the next person.

Hi forum, was wondering if you wonderful people could help me put together a 'brand' / 'label' for my personal portfolio :) unfortunately www.'myname'.com is taken :( The aim of the website is just to show off my work and projects to employers. Something to add to my CV. I didn't want to use...

I understand that some domain names are bought to resell for profit. How would I go about buying these? I'm soon to graduate july 2010 and I'm looking to build an online portfolio of my work. Unfortunately the domain name I want isn't available and tapping it into the address bar brings up...

it's showing up fine in ie8. Although I don't understand why you've embedded the flash object between the head tags...
