| Article Title :: Find Great Photos for Your Web Site From Stock Photography |
| |
|
Do you need great pictures? Are you looking for pictures to put
on your website? If you need some pictures and you need to find
them quickly, if you need photos to use on a website, or if you
need photos and can not pay/do not have time for a professional
photographer, stock photography may be the answer.
What are stock photographs? Stock photos are those that are
submitted to a photo library. The library then sells the rights
to use the images (usually on a website) and the library keeps
part of the fees. The great stock photographer can make good
money by submitting photos to the library regularly. They may
make a good amount of money from the photos.
There are many services out there (read full article) |

| |
|
In this tutorial I ‘m going to show you how fun and simple
it is to use cookies to bring interactivity to your Web pages
ultimately making you an even more sought-after more confident
Web designer.
HTTP is a stateless protocol. Meaning that once the
client’s browsers finishes a transactions with the Web
server the Web server completely looses all recollection of the
transaction. This is, of course, a problem for applications such
as a shopping cart in which a state must be maintained. We need
a way to send information (such as the data from a shopping
cart) and be able to access that data again on all other
subsequent request to that server. The most common approach is

| Article Title :: Making Sense of Web Colors |
| |
|
In 1994, Netscape defined 216 colors that have priority in
browsers based on the 256 colors displayed by an 8-bit system.
40 colors display differently between PCs and MACs and are
therefore eliminated.
These 216 fixed colors, known as web safe colors are universally
recognized by all browsers and operating systems. This means
that web pages which use only these colors have a better chance
of looking the same on any browser.
Less than 5% of computer systems are currently using 8-bit
systems and are thus confined to 256 colors. However, you should
still use web safe colors as a starting point, especially for
logos, flat color illustrations, backgrounds, and large areas of
the same color (read full article) |

When you are surfing through the web you generally see some
pages that are not displayed properly, the frames become all
mixed up and the content become unreadable. Many surfers think
that it is a problem of coding and the blame incompetent coders.
Actually, if you feel better placing blame, it belongs with the
greedy program distributors like Microsoft and Sun Systems which
turned the great educational idea of Tim Berners-Lee into a
competition area and a complex language not having a standard
form.
Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the Web. In 1989, Tim was
working in a computing services section of CERN when he came up
with the concept (web); at the time he had no idea that it would

| Article Title :: Doing Business from the Heart - or - What Connects an Old Box
with Web Site Design |
| |
|
A few days ago, my business partner was researching some
professional organisations for us to join. Being the website
expert that he is, he didn't just look at what the various
associations had to offer in terms of membership benefits,
professionalism and value for money: he also wanted to know how
good the websites were at promoting the industry and giving the
members a world wide web exposure. He made some interesting
discoveries.
It seems that not many website owners are aware that it's not
the pretty appearance, the flashing images or the chosen colour
scheme that does the trick. Thousands are spent on gimmicks and
are more or less wasted because only a few stranded surfers ever

What role does color play in a Website and how does it affect

| Article Title :: Resolve to Correct These Web Site Flaws in 2006! |

|
It's four whole days into 2006 and most of us still have a few
New Year's resolutions we haven't broken yet. One resolution you
should make - and keep - is to review your web site and fix
these four web site flaws.
1. Bad layout formatting.
I saw a web site the other day that used graphic navigation
images scattered over the page. OK, how to get back to the home
page? Where's the "home" graphic? Oh, there it is! Not many
customers are going to hang around that long.
Good page layout can be accomplished simply. People expect the
navigation to be under the heading or down the left column.
Break up long text paragraphs into short ones. Use bold headings
and bullet lists when appro (read full article) |
