| Article Title :: The bread and butter of website accessibility |
| |
|
The main reason webmasters fail to make their websites
accessible is because they don't understand the concept of an
"accessible website" in the first place.
Lets admit it, when the buzzword accessibility flies about over
the web most of us think "I know what accessibility is, its
making my website usable by anyone with a disability" if that's
you, I have bad news, you've fell at the first hurdle. Yes I'll
put my hand up and say this is part of accessibility but at most
it only amounts to half of the meaning.
What accessibility actually means is "can all users get the
information they need from my site as quick and as simply as
possible?" if you can answer yes to this question, well done, (read full article) |

| |
|
Are you thinking that it is about time your small business had
an internet presence, however are not too sure how or who to go
to build and promote the website.
This article will hopefully be of benefit to you as it will give
you free tips on website promotion and on how to obtain a

Many people believe that it will cost them thousands to have a
website designed and this fact alone puts many people off. Due
to the large number of people who now offer website design
services, this should not be the case. The websites at the
bottom of this article were designed for under £50 and there is
no reason why you should pay over a £100 for a similar website.

| Article Title :: How Not To Get Web Design Work |
| |
| I get the occasional web design lead from my website. I wanted to find a company I could pass these onto. So I put an ad on a freelance site. It specified the programming qualifications needed, stated that the successful candidate should have good English, and was for companies only.The replies I got were enlightening. So much so, I made a list of things applicants did wrong. Here it is.I should point out I was initially prepared to give everyone a fair go. After the first twenty-odd emails, my attitude changed. I was looking for reasons to delete applicants. I only needed one successful one; with 100+ replies it was getting to be a headache, so I decided a brutal approach w (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Best Simple Software For The Busy Webmaster |
| |
| Here are a few programs I can't do without. They're free, and make being a webmaster much easier.CGI-Telnet http://www.rohitab.com/cgiscripts/cgitelnet.htmlA cgi script that allows you to run commands on your server, even if your web host won't give you telnet access.

Well, now you can.AXS Visitor Tracking System http://www.xav.com/A very fine hit counter. Fairly simple to set up, if you use footer files on your site. Gives detailed information.

| Article Title :: Fast Web Design For The Skint Webmaster |
| |
| About two years ago, I had a go at commercial web site design. I put a medium-sized ad in a London classified ad paper. Nothing fancy: "Web designer seeks work ..." etc. This was expensive, about £500 for a month's run.Got a few replies. Lesson number one: advertise where clients of the calibre you want will see it. The clients I got thought £300 was a lot for a web site. They didn't want to pay web hosting. They wanted a lot of bang for their buck. 'Mission creep' was a term I grew to know and loathe.This set me thinking: how could I give these people all they could ever want, but not spend a lot of time and money? Lately, I realised how.So how can you get a full f (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Web Design Service |
| |
| Website design firms come in all shapes and sizes.
When choosing which firm you would like to build your website, there are many factors which you need to take into consideration.
There is no point having really nice looking website if no one can see it because it has poor optimisation.
Most web desgn firms will offer additional services such as optimisation, website promotion and may also submit your website to the search engines.
For me the website they have created for you should be fully optimised anyway and I would also expect the web design firm should submit the site to the search engines as a matter of course. It is always worth ask (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Tableless Web Designs: Why I Switched |
| |
| Since I made the switch 6 months ago to a tableless design on my main site, I’ve noticed some interesting things:
My search engine rankings have dramatically improved
My bandwidth usage has dropped about 50-75%
I can now make changes to the look and feel of my site easily by just changing the one file, the stylesheet.
Let’s look at why my search engine rankings improved. Now that I have less un-indexable code on my pages, the search engines can now spider my site quicker. Less code, more content, therefore a better ranking. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
Bandwidth costs money, and unless you have a really good hosting plan with lots of (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Creating Dynamic Layers with Interactive Image Rollovers Using Dreamweaver |
| |
| Layers area special kind of HTML elements, which can be used as a container to hold other HTML elements and to show them dynamically using JavaScripts. We can stack more than one layer over another. One or more Layers can be made visible dynamically, by hiding others. But using Macromedia Dreamweaver you can do all this without even knowing JavaScript or coding.The disadvantage with layers is, they can be viewed only with 4.0 and above browsers. Here in this tutorial let me assume that you are using 4.0 or above version of the browser.In this tutorial we are going to use multiple layers stacked over another, and make it viewable, when the mouse is rolled over in an Image.
