There are many eCommerce solutions available to the designer, equally there are just as many individual requirements from our clients. Some will only need to sell a few replenishable goods, were as others will require full control of an ever changing stock. Let's discuss the tools available...

Hi Chaps, Thank you very much for providing great answers. The idea of negative margins completely escaped me and it seems to be the best option. Unfortunately the Content div had to remain flexable but it seems I have my answer. Out of curiosity though, let's say that the Advert div in the...

Hi guys and gals, I'm hoping someone here could shine some light on a little problem I'm having. here is my dilemma: Edit this Fiddle - jsFiddle What I want is the Advert div to appear inside the gap created by the margin of the Content div. Typically this problem is resolved by changing the...

I find that the answer to this question varies greatly from business to business. Let's set the scene, you've just walked away from a successful first brief with a client, your head is filled with great ideas... what happens next? Do you: Produce a series of flat, Photoshop images...

It's that time again, to nominate your favourite open source CMS to receive a nice cash bonus. There are many fantastic and little known CMS gems out there. If memory serves me well, previous winners and runners up include Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla and CMS Made Simple. I'm voting from the...

HI, Was linked to this website which has multiple top ten listings of design related categories. I thought the Top Ten CMS list would suit this board, there was at least one i'd never heard of :)

I'm glad to see a lot of people giving it a go. There's a video here that describes the Textpattern system and how it turns your Dreamweaver website into a CMS managed site: The Textpattern System : A CMS for designers | Creative Fail You just have to remember that the Textpattern Page is kind...

Apologies for the double post but I am intrigued as to whether anyone has taken the plunge with Textpattern. If anyone has any questions to ask on whether it's worth their worth, please go ahead. Bare in mind I’m still learning myself :)

... is Textpattern I can't remember the last time I was so excited about a piece of technology. I have recently been introduced to this CMS and I seriously cant understand why I've never heard of it before. For a long time I've been searching for a CMS that is lightweight, something that can...

Hello, Can anyone recommend a font collection that actually contains useable fonts ;) I'd like to say I could go out and buy the Adobe Font Folio, but it's a tad out of my price range for just myself. I'd be interested in looking at anything. Or maybe you know of a site that does discounts...

I recommend the fourth edition of Javascript in easy steps. It takes you all the way from the basics, to DOM manipulation and an introduction to AJAX. It makes a great desk side reference. I also agree with tbwcf with regard to looking at jQuery too.

I must admit, I've never had any problems with Flash, either viewing it or working with it. After the recent showdown with Apple I keep coming across articles and debates on how "Flash must die" and that HTML5 willl make Flash obsolete. Now, at the risk of making myself look stupid, I was...

Don't forget MorgueFile (www.morguefile.com) Huge archive of totally free images. Although they may not be of the highest standard, there are some gems there and the MorgueFile license allows for commercial usage without attribution.

Hi EViS, My personal feeling would be to avoid an overstylized typeface for the "name" part, a script face might stand out from the crowd in the construction sector but I feel it could be a little too Flamboyant to be universally adopted. oooh it's tricky isn't it ? My gut feeling would sway...

My favourite has to be Font Squirrel ( www.fontsquirrel.com ) Quote from the website: They don't have a massive directory, but the website is clean, well presented and all the fonts are good for you to use in your projects. Worth a bookmark I reckon!
