Webmasters / Re: Web Master Help Me Rate This Work by yawatide(f): 9:11pm On Sep 10, 2013 |
1) A client might say they want something but that doesn't mean you should be a code monkey who simply takes orders. If you talk to the client "well", 99% of the time, they will back down. At least that's what works for me. It is taking the content on the other pages down, thus causing people to scroll. Major problem for those on mobile devices. Maybe if you put it to him like that (assuming you haven't already), maybe they will budge. 2) At least N100K |
Webmasters / Re: School Portal ...... Any Help by yawatide(f): 5:50pm On Sep 10, 2013 |
Depends on features and how much they are paying you. I personally would recommend a hybrid - build from scratch but provide a CMS solution for "non techie" pages that may change often. That way, you are not called every so often to add "coma" to a page, if you know what I mean. Of course, this all depends on how much is being offered. |

In general: 1) Remove the fading photos from all pages other than the home page 2) What is the difference b/w "sign up" and "forum" links in the footer 3) It would be nice if you could customize the forum to have 90% of the look and feel of the main site. Right now, it's like I am going to another site 4) In the fading photos section, some portions of the blue text of the "akande" picture is bleeding into the actual image In firefox: When I click items in the nav, nothing happens In IE8: Hovering over "We diagnose and treat" in the nav results in an orange hover effect that doesn't cover the entire white font 1 Like |

OP: Then why not have a teaser line or paragraph, with a link that says something like, "read more..."? I shouldn't have to download your list of services by default. Besides, your services page should have a summary (as in, titles) of your services. Give me that at the very least. Good luck! |
Webmasters / Re: Please Review by yawatide(f): 1:26pm On Sep 09, 2013 |
1) I would move the social icon, in addition to making it smaller, to the top, upper right corner of the page 2) Why are services and activities in PDF form? Make that HTML and put it in the appropriate sections. At least that way, they can be spidered by the search engines and indexed |

Congrats Mr. Ramp. This is definitely Front page worthy. |
Webmasters / Re: Content Is Showing On The Right Margin Of The Site by yawatide(f): 1:52pm On Sep 06, 2013 |
I am going to need the actual url of the site. Based on the code and screenshot, I am going to say that your (white) background image is too short but I need to see the actual site in action before I can authoritatively come to that conclusion. |
Webmasters / Re: Content Is Showing On The Right Margin Of The Site by yawatide(f): 8:18pm On Sep 05, 2013 |
Screenshot and/or code would help here... |

how do you define, "mini site"? |

What were the terms of the contract or gentleman's agreement? If none, you don't have to pay. Lesson of the day: Always have a contract, no matter how friendly you are with the person you are working with. |
Webmasters / Re: Standard Quote For Building A CMS by yawatide(f): 4:22pm On Sep 03, 2013 |
I prefer joomla as it has a low learning curve, based on personal experience, for the client. As per quote, it will depend on features. Having said that, because of customization, I would say nothing less than N200K, base price. |
Webmasters / Re: My Site Is Not Recognised By Google. by yawatide(f): 12:33pm On Sep 01, 2013 |
How long ago is, "just launched"? If you are doing organic SEO, it can take more than few weeks for your site to even register on any of its pages. Google will probably index your site, depending on when last it "danced", within the next 30 days or so. Ranking will depend on how relevant your site is. What I would do is google for sites in your niche, check out the top 5 for the search and see what they are doing that you aren't doing. good luck! |
Webmasters / Re: Please Kindly Review And Rate This Website by yawatide(f): 7:11pm On Aug 28, 2013 |
As someone who reads from left to right, I find the social media icons, top left...and fixed, distracting. I would suggest moving it to the right. |

^^^ I would imagine that worse case, you could build upon that script - since it is open source, you could modify it to give you exactly what you need...no? |

GraphicPlus: ^^ Stop been deceived by the 'f'. Yawatide is not a female. Yawatide is a man. Hmmm, interesting. For some odd reason, I can see a libelous law suit against a certain person in the not so immediate future |

@Graphics Interesting. I haven't used Publisher in ages and back then, you couldn't do it. I guess you learn something new every day. |
Webmasters / Re: Mobile Phone/device Detect Php Code by yawatide(f): 12:24pm On Aug 26, 2013 |
Hmm, I could have sworn it was free. I also could have sworn this was the script I have been using for some time. Try: http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/ |
Webmasters / Re: How To Convert .pub Format File To .jpg? by yawatide(f): 8:47pm On Aug 25, 2013 |
I don't think this is possible. PUB to PDF? Sure. PUB to JPG or PNG, probably not possible. Why do you need to do this? |
Webmasters / Re: Mobile Phone/device Detect Php Code by yawatide(f): 8:46pm On Aug 25, 2013 |
This has always worked for me: http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/ Eventually though, you should look at building your sites such that it is just one site that serves up the same content. Think twitter bootstrap and foundation. Good luck! |
Webmasters / Re: What's Wrong With Vanguard Online? by yawatide(f): 8:41pm On Aug 25, 2013 |
@Afam: I always go to the site directly @onye: I thought it was only me. It appears as if someone is trying to show "them" that they need to monitor their site more closely. |
Webmasters / What's Wrong With Vanguard Online? by yawatide(f): 10:01am On Aug 25, 2013 |
Some days, you visit it and you it shows you the mobile version by default and on others, you see the regular version. Can anyone else confirm what I have noticed for the past 2 weeks? |
Webmasters / Re: GTB Website- Joomla, Wordpress Or Dreamweaver? by yawatide(f): 11:10am On Aug 15, 2013 |
For a site like this, I would probably do a combo of a customized CMS and a regular site - I assume content pages will need to be updated from time to time by non-techies and regular techies have better things to do than to go add a "coma" to a page. |
Webmasters / Re: Rate This Website by yawatide(f): 3:04pm On Aug 13, 2013 |
1) Don't use popups for your photo gallery. Use one of the many javascript libraries 2) Add a margin b/w the bottom of the page and the black footer 3) Try and add some pictures on each of the pages. Thanks, Itoro 1 Like |

^^^ Before you hate them, ask yourself (if not already) why they banned Nigeria in the first place. Everything to oyinbo boils down to the almighty dollar and reputation. Whereby either is threatened, expect them to react like a cat that is backed into a corner. If you have been in that situation, I am sure you know that it is best to back down |

Have you tried any bootstrap versions? I haven't used them as I haven't had any reason to yet, but I know once in a while, smashingmagazine.com will feature the latest mobile friendly plugins at least once a month. |
Webmasters / Re: Let's Discuss SSL Certificates by yawatide(f): 5:23pm On Aug 10, 2013 |
I have used SSL certificates from hostmonster on 2 sites so far. I don't know what to say about integration as I just paid for it (around $140 a year) and they tell you it will be active in 24 - 48 hours. Hostmonster's customer support has also been spot on for me, going back 8 years. If the site you are working on will require an SSL, don't hesitate to insist that the client gets it. |
