freelancers of today, start-up owners of tomorrow. Most freelancers are in it as an alternative/additional income stream. The truth is web design is getting easier by the day, and one day web designers as we know them today will be phased out because even the dumbest nitwit who knows how to click, drag and drop can create his own website. So freelance or start-up still same destiny, hardcore programming is the deal!

Lordnewton1:

as how please?

Adeyinka12:
as how please?

its a frame work which is not always flexible

and thats where you got it all wrong. The market is large and even Nigeria is yet to experience tech boom. Infact nothing has begined here (but i believe in jumia and konga) There will always be need for web designer and programmer as every dam thing u can think of is on the internet. No matter how easy u think everyone get it some are not just cut-out for it.

For web design beginners DW helps you further understand what coding does and how making a mistake effects the coding of site. its code highlighting feature helps you quickly scan your code as well as spot any errors. With each type of code there is a different set of highlights to help you differentiate between HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript etc...you get to master codes with it. That said, DW can make you a lazy web designer if you are not careful, for me its just a tool to enhance your coding not make it.

I agree that the tech boom is yet to blow to the extent that even when virtually everyone is online in a way, many SMEs still don't think they need websites (and general online presence), at least the ones I've come across. When I said web designers "AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY" I was refering to all of us that majorly rely on CMSs (no offence) and not the whole web business. I am emphasizing the caveat now. Bro I can't be so blind as not to see the reality that web is the present and the future since virtually everything has moved or is moving online - applications that have priorly been stand-alone desktop software are moving, even OSs and computer storage.

I'm eager for the tech bubble in Naija to fully form but when it burst one will need more than CMS knowledge to remain relevant. That is what I'm trying to say.

dreamweaver is not hard. Infact nothing is hard until you practice and learn the perfectly

helpful post thanks

oapeleo:
Thanks guys

LESSON TWO: FINDING THE RIGHT HOST
When it comes to small projects i use whogohost or syskay.com. Hostgator and Godaddy for big projects.

Its advisable to create a separate account for your clients. So if they wish to discontinue your services, you can hand over to them their login details to cpanel and others. If the webhost supports an affiliate program, use it on their account. And get discount for other jobs.

Whogohost and syskay.com are both nigeria webhost providers and are both good. But syskay now has a problem with sending mails.
All mails sent from the website you hosting with them goes to spam box. I dont know why?
This cost me my reputation at a time. An ecommerce site i created had all its payment, cart, check out messages going to the mail spam. This would ruin the reputation of your site. So lets put it aside for now. (Tested one 3 others websites same problem)

I havent had any problem with whogohost yet. And they have 24 hours customer care service, cheaper, good speed, affiliate program and help you with webpay integration.

IF YOU KNOW ANY OTHER GOOD NIGERIA WEB HOST BLA BLA LET US KNOW

If you doing a big project go for foreign hosts like hostgator or godaddy. They are more expensive (dollar ish u know) but reliable. They can handle websites with lost of traffic.

Now a lil secret, to get cheaper charge on hostgator use this coupon SOCIAL.

Next lesson FINDING THE RIGHT CMS
please comment to encourage more post.

hi op, what is your opinion about iPage, I've been longing to host my website on their server?

oapeleo is just on point

Keep up the good work..

oapeleo:


This a very neat work

Try changing your logo (thanks vicben)
to something "allspiredish". You could just leave the text or make a slim logo of transparent background.

Try to remove the footer infomation too

Hello reader, am Apele, a civil engineer by profession and web-developer for extra charge.
Am not starting this thread to paste adds or show people that i am successful in web design. I am using it as a medium to reach struggling web-developers like me, so we can help ourselves.

LESSON ONE : HOW TO GET WEB DESIGN JOBS
Its good to post your contacts on nairaland for people to call you. But my guy you might be wasting your time. Based on my experience after pasting my adds on several threads and creating topics over and over again. The only people that call me are fellow web-designers, who just want to fool me and find the cms am using, children that just want to call to say hi, people that promise and promise and never get back to you.

Infact even threads that say "we need a web-designer" are fake. Someone is laughing at the other side watching us drop our contacts. Dont waste your time bros.

You cant find good jobs on the internet, you have to use the old school method. That one helps me better.

It starts with writing a web-proposal of not more than 6 pages.
It should contain
What website is
Importance and why a client should have it
About your company
Works you have done or demos if you are new.
Bill
And contact

If you cant write your proposal, then you not ready. Make the cover as attractive as possible and make several prints of it.

On the deal day, look good and confident, smell nices, etc.

Places to go to
Schools, churches, companies, hotels, etc.

Walk in and ask for their manager and drop your proposal with him.
Your bravery will pay.

Please if you find this thread useful, kindly comment to make me carry on. There are several things i want to show you.

LESSON THREE: FINDING THE RIGHT CMS
Most web-developers claim to do their website the hardcore way. Lie. We all use cms and you know it.
content management system (CMS) is a computer application that allows publishing, editing and modifying content, organizing, deleting as well as maintenance from a central interface.
E.g, wordpress, drupal, joomla,SilverStripe,Cushy,frog, modx,etc etc.
Anybody can be a web-developer over night.

There are lots of cms out there, you will get confused for sure if u search.
You must have an idea of what you want to create before you choose.

For me wordpress can create anything at all as far as web is concerned.
Has millions of themes, plugins, etc. Easy to understand. Fast and you can do many wesites following thesame partner at the same time.

But easily hacked and isnt recommended for ecommerce websites or sites that involve payment.
I recommened opencart and others.

For social communities, use elgg, etc.
For forums, use phpbb

I know lots of cms out there for different purposes. Wont bore you with the full list. You can whatsapp me for one on one 08153973028 , or call 08068280130

Please dont start googling to find them. You can get any cms, themes in the world from www.nulledphp.com (your friends wont even tell you this). And when you contact me, i will just give you link to the exact one to download from there. Infact all other sites that sell or share them, get it from here. They update every day. Yeah!

To get the exact theme you want just search
E.g. business theme and the endless list shows.

USE WISELY.

Next lesson, how to use wordpress professionally, safe and nobody will know.

Ride on brother, u r doing a great job...
