Very nice video, though the content was certainly more compelling than the delivery. I wanted some follow up links for reading. For instance, where did you get the "6-9 contacts before they're ready to buy" factoid? All in all, good basic stuff for marketing newbs like myself. Thanks for...

It's a very nice, clean layout, and I disagree with Andy, I think the green works well in the footer. I think the main drawback for me is the lack of interactivity on the thumbnails. As a user I always want a little bit of response if something is clickable. I think that's doubly important in...

Hey Wac, Nope. Hadn't thought of that much at all. Part of the difficulty of that is I live in a rural area without a car, so getting to local networking events is a huge hassle, and right now it doesn't seem like a good trade off for me to lose half a day to a day of work for the...

Hey All, I've made it through the first year and a half as a freelancer and I'm really beginning to understand that my niche as a web and graphic designer is in restyling and rebuilding small to medium sized business websites (although I'm certainly not ruling out working with large businesses...

I know this is an old post, but I thought I'd put in my my 2 pence. My hourly rate is £50, but for basic updates like that I'd run £250 to £500, depending on the complexity. If it's a straight job that only took me an hour then £250. It also depends on the client. I have large clients...

Hey Ian, Honestly, you're in a bit of a jam. Since your site is built on pure HTML/CSS there's no easy way to do what you're asking, since you'll have to pop in some php or javascript. The best place to start is to google "Javascript random quote." That will give you some pregenerated...

Sure you can identify the problem, but do you know the cure? :D

The first one is the strangest. I've never seen anything like it before. The second one is pretty standard, but I don't know why it's happening, since it's NOT happening on the same browser on the same system when I tested it.

Hey Jim, Thanks for the reply. I do have multiple systems. I've tested the site on Vista PC, XP PC (virtual) and two Macs to no avail. That's what's so frustrating! A.

Hi All, I run a small web and graphic design firm in Wales. I'm working on a site for a client and everything was going well until they found two errors on the site in Firefox 3.6 and 4.0 ( the site is here if you'd like to look for yourselves: readerservice.pixelsmithdesign.com/extras ). I...

Icon Factory does wonderful work and loads of free icons. iconfactory.com/freeware/ A.

Hi Guys, Thanks for checking. I'm really baffled by the error. It's only happened twice, but I'm reluctant to tell the client, "Oh, don't worry about it," but I'm not sure I can solve a problem I can't replicate. Thanks again! A.

Hi All, I'm coding a site using CSS :hover image changers. When I was testing the site I encountered a very strange error I've never seen before using Firefox for Mac, but after the first time, I couldn't reproduce the error, so I figured it was merely a glitch on my end, but when the client...
