5.   Why do you keep repeating this tired phrase, it would be valid, if i like Afam, developed the whole site.

  Yeah, my mistake was putting the link, not a screenshot (for next time)
  i forgot for a moment that not everyone on NL is decent

1. If you and you team came up with that then if you are asked to do it yourself then it will be world war 3.

2 No, it was not a mistake. That was a deliberate thing God allowed you to do so as to humble you.

3. For someone using multiple usernames on this forum what can I say?

Gamine:
Dude you are just babbling

no one asked for your CV.

i am an engineer too

CSS, Javascript >> programming to me.

Don't have a CV so can't even give one if asked to. I highlighted certain things that will make any one understand that learning and understanding anything is just a matter of interest.

Gaminechic:
4. i dont want to get into "external/internal issues"
i left the company, so it isnt my business what happens next.
im sure by now, they know whats up, though i understand what you mean.

5. The only reason i put up that link, was to show design=purpose, not just 'graphics'
<role of web designer> since you have refused to read the context of my posts

You left the company? I hope it's not based on the unworkable design you provided?

In any case if I take you up on the design of that website you would weep because your work shows that you are still trying to understand the basics.

Thanks for proving me right and showing everyone that though you can brag in reality you cannot do a decent design work even when working in a team and yet you have the audacity to talk about jack of all trades when this jack of all trades can do better than you even in your own area of expertise.

I am looking for a good web designer that I will pay very well but where are they? Ever since some people starting bragging about design on this thread not a single one of them has been able to design a reasonable thing and yet such will be the first to run their mouths like ruptured pipes.

Hmm, Nigerians and multiplicity of identities.

And everyday we complain of our leaders when we have to use multiple usernames on public discussion boards.

biggjoe:
Is it not the job of the server owner to make sure that such things dont interfer.

A webhost cannot be like a landlord because landlords allow their tenants to come out and enter their neighbour's rooms but in a webserver, you are not supposed to allow a sites script to work in another.

I already addressed that in the reproduced post below

Afam:
What the web host can do is to isolate breaches to the affected domains but again this is easier said than done unless you are on a private virtual server or a dedicated server notwithstanding claims by webhost management tools that they can make a shared hosting platform bullet proof.

Let us use another analogy to explain my position.

Windows operating system is a software just as Internet Explorer or Microsoft office is a software product.

These software products can be installed on computers.

Have we not heard of bugs or security holes in these software products that have allowed individuals to control thousands or millions of other computers before?

In this case who will you blame? The PC maker or the software maker?

Gamine:
What the heck are you doing locking and deleting stuff??

Who are you asking?

Me?

Moderator?

The programmer you have conveniently blamed for all the war zone blunders on your project?

Gamine:
I dont know how to explain that again, i am not a programmer.

We were talking about specific stuff, i didnt put up the site for a 'review' or for comparism

It seems the chicken has finally come home to roost.

We learn everyday trust me.

Meanwhile, is the job of the web designer in this case just to tell them use red background, pink text and black link?

Nigeria we hail thee! I no fit shout.

Web designers are required to know atleast,
the basics of whatever program their developer is working with.

Presently, im working with an Asp.net programmer,
im doing all my work inside Visual studio now.

I would like to think i could be a good web designer,
i dont design for web often, but i love the web and i read alot
about how to make the web a friendlier, functional, generally better place.
Everyone knows this, even chumpy the monkey.

My friend, this is what happens when you brag, make sly remarks and attempts to ridicule someone when you cannot even hold your own.

I clicked on the website you put down and after about 6 clicks I found the following

1. All projects likes - page opened with all the links dummy links

2. The build up the school wall - page opened with the title "build up the hospital wall" with the top drop down menu not working

3. Feedback link - page opened and I just clicked submit and got the following

Notice: Query failed: INSERT command denied to user 'escroll_escroll'@'localhost' for table 'feedback_tbl' SQL: INSERT INTO `escroll`.`feedback_tbl` (`serialnumber`, `message`, `feedbacktype`, `name`, `postdate`) VALUES (null, '', '', '', CURDATE()); in /home/escroll/public_html/include/classes/DB_LIB.php on line 105

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/escroll/public_html/include/classes/DB_LIB.php:105) in /home/escroll/public_html/postfeedback.php on line 11

4. Clicked on a link (http://www.escrollfoundation.org/index.php?action=viewres&id=19) under related articles and got a web page with 2 complete copies of the same site one on top of the other.

Conclusion

1. You have chided and thrown words on this thread as if you were very good with design

2. Even the design on the website have some basic issues like hover color of links being almost the same color as the background

3. The programming part is having some issues for example the only task I clicked on to see validation and/or insert operation with the error reproduced above


So, when people ask for reviews, provide them, correct them as no one is perfect and in correcting them do not insult them or attempt to ridicule them because in reality those you choose to ridicule may just know far more than you know even in the area you think you are an expert in.

Today, I build about the most reliable inverters in this country (have not touched a generator in over 5 years in my office).

biggjoe:
I dont know much about hacking but it makes more sense to me that the problem is likely coming from the host rather than hosted scripts since they (the hackers) were able to list all the other hosted sites on the webserver.

Besides, if such a hole can come from a hosted script, any serious webhost should know how to prevent such occurence.

If you are a landlord and you rent out your property to tenants it is not your duty to ensure that the kitchen knife would not be used to kill someone. A knife is a knife and can be used for several things.

However, the landlord can ensure that he will not rent his house to a known criminal by doing background checks.

My point is that there is no way a web host can secure an insure script written by a client who paid for web hosting. That is the duty of the web developer.

What the web host can do is to isolate breaches to the affected domains but again this is easier said than done unless you are on a private virtual server or a dedicated server notwithstanding claims by webhost management tools that they can make a shared hosting platform bullet proof.

One more thing, with a domain name I can actually get a list of all domains on the same server, you don't even need to hack into a website to be able to do this.

Gamine:
If they dont understand the web, how the heck can they be called Web designers.

Besides you dont understand the role of a web designer, you think its all about 'graphics' LOL

Anyway, i dont really blame you, getting a true web designer is hard.

Are web designers now into programming or database stuff?

I agree with you on the last statement, getting a true web designer is hard and that is why I will not fall for the elephant dancing graphics some of you produce and claim to be designers.

Now, are you a good web designer or a good one?

If your answer is in the positive is there a way to see what you have done because no reasonable person will take your word for it. Unless of course you hide all your work inside that cupboard in your bedroom.

Changing the background image of a free blog site is not what web design is all about.

Just before we conclude that the problem may be from the web hosting company I hope we understand that the problem can also come from applications we write ourselves or bugs from popular open source content management systems as information concerning such software applications are usually in the public domain so any body can take advantage of any security holes in an application to hijack a website.

Gamine:
LMAO.

This is what happens when Web developers decide to become jack of all trades.

Considering the options when it comes to getting a good designer I can confidently state that though I am not a design person I will never hire any designer that has contributed to similar posts in the past including this one because majority of them clearly do not understand what works and what doesn't work on the web.

The proof is there. Websites are being shut down due to non performance thanks to the graphics laden static websites that have been coming up for some time now.

As to jack of all trades trust me it pays if you know what you are doing.

An example would suffice here.

It took just 5 hours to register a domain name, setup a web hosting account for the domain name, created a website from scratch including the programming involved and database stuff, uploaded same and the website became fully operational. Under 5 hours.

This is the website - www.ganiliveson.org

And the website is serving the purpose it was setup for.

This is what the web entails. Responsive, functionality, task focused, useful and reliable.

To the web designers who claim to know it all I will pay you one million naira cash if you can do same in the 20 hours.

Sometimes, I think frustration is responsible for some of the hate some of us put down here especially when we come across what we cannot do but see others doing.

Imagine u wake up one morning and try to view a site you administrate and u see dis on d site

http://www.anointedchurchofchristng.org/

I maintain one of the site listed, dat was what brought my attention to it,

checkout d list, it's alarming. all d site listed show d same page. mehn

I don't want to mention d host company.(so someone will not say I came here to spoil their name). it's jus for host companies to be more careful.


SAFE

What exactly do you mean by "Nigerian Host"?

Are you referring to

1. A Nigerian who is running a web hosting business with servers located outside Nigeria whether as a reseller or owner of a dedicated server?

or

2. A Nigerian who is running a web hosting business with servers located in Nigeria?

Since 2003 I started providing hosting services to individuals and even multinationals I have never toyed with the idea of setting up a production hosting arrangement within the country primarily due to internet bandwidth issues.

Just needed to be certain what you mean before making comments anyway.

One common denominator though is that a web hosting arrangement is only as secure as the skill sets of the person or persons in charge of the securing the infrastructure.

It seems that confusion has taken over and forgetfulness has become the order of the day.

seunnaija:
com eto think of it, who called u a webdesigner?, anyway this is not an english thread, except of course u dont work  with your user interface designs,

Hmmmm,

See below

seunnaija:
from your comments i can tell that uve been doing a lot of  google or depending on your own webdesign experience.well as far as tutorial sites are concerned hits are very important points of reference, you could chek one out yourself.

as in this case your a web designer i'll let u on this one, http://net.tutsplus.com/

Is there no limit to your being wrong?

1. I am not a fan of google and I don't care about what it preaches because in the final analysis whatever it says it to support its business model.

2. I depend on results from web projects especially from clients who have contracted web projects to designs that know everything about design and graphics but lack relevant knowledge when it comes to functionality. So, when the clients are tired of beautiful graphics on their websites that fail to justify even the funds spent on setting up the websites they begin to look for people that can deliver websites that simply work. That is why I come in.

3. I am a web developer not a web designer. I handle stuff from programming, database, logical navigation and consistent look across all pages while maintaining reasonable download times. So, you can have a team of 50 people in your firm but if the websites you come up with don't justify the essence of setting them up trust me you will pack up sooner rather than later.

seunnaija:
and about visitors, on my company sites, lmao, well u  "said" wrong, envato acquires at least 11 million hits a month across it's network of sites.FACT .chek it out yourself

Thanks for bringing this up. One way or the other we will learn a thing or two.

For your information hits does not translate into success neither does it prove that a website is doing well. If you are selling a service or a product and people are not paying for either even though millions visit your website everyday trust me the money that will be changing hands would be from your website to the web host for bandwidth and hosting space.

Chew on that. I thought the era of bragging about hits went away some years ago unless of course you are selling advertising space. Get your facts and priorities right lest you ridicule yourself and the company you represent on a public forum.

seunnaija:
and truthfully i still dont like anything about that website. .

Did anyone ask you to like the site?

What makes you think that your opinion matters?

I am ready to pay for a good design any day no matter the amount of money but the reality is that a lot of graphic artistes and designers like you don't even understand the web and you keep thinking that what works in the regular print media works on the web.

If you don't understand a platform you will continue to mix and splash colors everywhere and you and your team members will be the most frequent visitors to your websites.

The correctness or otherwise of any issue has nothing to do with your acceptance so don't pay too much attention to what you think especially when you obviously don't understand the terrain you have chosen to work in.

There are millions of websites out there and very very few are successful today. You may need to google to find out why lest you end up abandoning web design as others before you have done even when they thought they knew everything about web design.

seunnaija:
" my type" well for info am just givn u a piece of professional advice.u might have deisgned a lot but u lack some things.cmon.nobody is perfect.i work as a designer at envato.if u dont already kno its a design firm, u can google it.and i have put some time into practise.so i think i kno whn i see some flaws.anyways i was just being truthful nd vry critical, u wont always get positive criticism u know,

1. I also gave you an advice or better put made a professional statement.

2. I never claimed to be perfect, hence the need to ask for reviews and criticisms.

3. Congrats on your job as a designer at envato. I have seen the site and as they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Apart from the fact that the bulk of the sites there are based on a free CMS none of the sites would fit into a custom requirement of some of the companies I develop software and applications for so while you claim to have put in time into practice trust me there is a place for every skill as I began using CMS when joomla was still mambo and stop using them when companies started asking for solutions that did what they wanted as regards specific features, functionalities and access control.

4. I never asked for positive criticisms. Do not manufacture something so that you can justify a position. Stick to the issue.

5. Based on what I have seen on where you work and what you guys have done with free content management systems I dare say that your 2/10 final review means next to nothing as you don't qualify to give any ratings on issues like this based on where you are coming from.

6. What you may see as wonderful design may be seen as nonsense by another person based on what the person expects or knows to be useful. While some designers would readily splash pictures of aeroplanes and actors on websites belonging to airlines and tooth paste companies those who are interested in using the web to make money or to simplify tasks would certainly do away with such design principles that make the most sense in the regular advertising media and not the web because the web speaks and understands a language - links, time, functionality etc.

Enjoy the weekend ahead.

seunnaija:
gamine already sorted out the technical terms.but 3 EXTRA words, poor use of colors, the website aint unique, just looks like the basic  php or so sites, ( design a new interface.in black nd white when u're satisfied chose your colors.), font, blah blah ,  poor too, mosttimes not only functions matters but aesthetic quality too, ( i also get that your tyn to make the website load faster but cmon.)

I should redesign in black and white then decide on colors? Thanks but I won't do that.

seunnaija:
final site review, 2/10

2/10? That is very encouraging coming from your type.

NB: I have 100% flexibility when developing projects I own and would only implement or develop what will help the projects. However, when developing projects for clients it must be understood that some clients who naturally insist on certain things whether you agree or not as long as the functionality is guaranteed.

I am making the point above so as not to be seen as defending projects or attacking those who say negative things about them. I also hope that we should understand the difference between criticisms whether negative or positive and insults just in case insults are responded to and people begin to wonder.

I have personal and business websites that are doing exactly what they were setup to do and that is what matters as regards web projects.

afamnnaji.com, justwebservices.com, justalternativepower.com, nigeriawebsiteblunders.com are either personal or business websites I developed from scratch and they are all doing well.

Judeylive:
I was asked to discuss some Nigeria issues, i never said anything about going on air with my plans. I cannot do that,

So, Afam, Apart from talking, what else have you done about this Nigeria problem? After the talking you'll probably feel cool with yourself and go back to bed?
Plz i dont want us to start talking back at each other here,because apparently thats what most people do here, Abusing, arguing,showing off their knowledge,
I was doing this before,untill i decided it wasnt going to change anything, I have to stand up and put my words into action, I started writting and posting it everywhere,untill i also knew thats not gonna change much too, Its like an ant cry among elephants. So i went back thinking. I thought so hard untill i was sure i was going to go mad, Then i came up with a plan, And here we are. So,what have I done wrong? I thought you guys thats wise enough to bother checking the Politics Forum will understand me. I thought i will be encouraged, But you guys are picking on me, Criticizing me.For what? Are you guys comfortable with this situation in Nigeria? Everything is going wrong? Why are you attacking someone that is ready for the change.Why are we still divided even among us? Why are we been cowards? Why cant we just come together to change things. Why cant we just share ideas and come up with a formidable plan! Anywhere two or more intelligent people are in agreement cant remain the same.We can get more than 50 patriotic intelligent people in Nigeria, We can do this! I need help! I cant do this alone, I'm begging you guys to come forward, Its going to be hard,but it cant get harder than it is already, You guys might not understand this because you can still afford to browse, Some people cant afford to eat all, Millions of people! We have the resources.Nigeria is rich enough to feed half of Africa if we are governed well, We Have to START from somewhere!!

You seem to be missing the point.

What do you intend to do and how do you intend to go about it.

No serious person will jump into anything you want to do without having any idea of what you intend to do.

No one is attacking you. Answer the relevant questions.

Judeylive:
The producer of Youth Expression in SABC just requested to have a live telephone interview with me on sunday morning.Plz endeavour to listen.

Of what relevance is this telephone interview with a foreign media to what you are talking about?

If you are willing to discuss your plans on air then I see no reason why you cannot put them down here especially when people have severally asked you what you intend to do and how you intend to go about it.

The issue is not whether we need change in Nigeria.

The issue is how can the change be effected without unnecessary bloodshed?

No picture of the chain car?

Ibime:
hehehehe. . . . so IMF is the enemy?

IMF also validates all Ghanaian economic actions and holds Ghana up as the benchmark for all subsaharan African countries. I guess IMF are also trying to ensure Ghanas downfall as well.

Did any state that IMF is the enemy?

Google Haiti or in fact google IMF and failed economies.

IMF?

How I now miss Abacha?

IMF means trouble that should be avoided at all cost.

abhosts:
The Web host is very much in order. Unfortunately, most Nigerians do not read a company's Terms of Service before signing up. Stuff like that would have been clearly stated there and you agreed to it.

Spamvertising is the act of sending unsolicited emails to promote your website. The only evidence your webhost will need is a copy of the unsolicited email from the complainant containing a link to your domain name.

Email addresses can be faked and some email programs can allow someone use an email address that does not exist to send an email.

So, with such scenarios it will be very wrong for a web host to punish a client for something outside his/her control.

Complaints or allegations must be proven before any actions are taken unless of course the people in charge have a mindset that may have been as a result of previous experiences.

However, being bold enough to stand your ground and defend yourself is something you must consider otherwise the complaints will simply be seen as facts.

yawa-ti-de:
I take it you use includes so the portion below should occur on every page. The portion below is reference twice on the page: once at the top and the other at the middle. Again, you can search for "base.js"

Thanks. Have seen it and have sorted it out accordingly.

yawa-ti-de:
1) On the contact page, when you get an error, I see the pink portion at the top. All fine and dandy. However, on the "tell a friend" and "purchase step 1 of 2" and "login" pages, i don't see the same pink portion at the top, if I don't enter valid data. I think they should all behave consistently.

Cannot reproduce the same error. However, the top pink error comes after the form attempts to process the information entered while the field level errors are displayed in the validation of content entered.

2) On the contact page, I entered the following for phone number "1111111111-111111-111" and "1111111111111111111" and got an error each time. I guess my question here is what is the correct format? Is it possible to tweak the code, for user convenience, to specify that? better yet, maybe below the phone number label, you add the right format in parenthesis.

I have sorted this out, thanks.

3) I clicked "review" and "find out more" and "onspeed help" in the header but got a (blank) pop up each time.

Client insists on having these links point to the parent site and wanted a pop up and not just page level redirecting.

4) I think at the very least, the home page deserves a friendly (human) face or two to give it a warm and fuzzy feeling.

As stated earlier, I don't have powers to do that, project was based on a strict specification. I am sure you know how my personal projects are structured, when it comes to clients one must respect their wishes even as we offer advice.

5) Viewing source, I noticed that certain files (like js/base.js) were referenced more than once. This could have the adverse effect of slowing down page download time and/or causing code clashes as if a method is called (or worse yet, one of them is changed in the future), the code doesn't know which one to reference.

Can you point me to the page or pages with such multiple references?

Thanks for your time.

As you know, the first thing I like to do on any site for review is check out the forms

I would also consider moving those reference to within the HEAD tags, as opposed to within the body of the document, unless instructions call for it to be within the body of the document.

Thanks.

Thanks. Will look into the issues raised one after the other.

The design was based on specific instructions though.

All the functionality related stuff will be remedied as soon as they are confirmed.

Enjoy.

Afam for me i will take what gammie said, nuffin to contribute about that's me. i don't even know where to start. the site kinda scanty

Scanty? What exactly is this supposed to mean? I guess the dictionary can help here.

I am sure you know by now that if you cannot say anything reasonable like "this feature is not working" or "this should not be here" then I will simply treat your comment as trash, no hard feelings.

I am not the type to tolerate vague remarks that are neither here nor there.

In any case, one fact is that if I give this project to every single person that has one or two comments to make about it I am sure that you all will still disagree with what you come up with because you usually believe that the only correct design is what you come up with yourself.

It is not compulsory to post a review here. Reviews or comments should be precise and not vague.

Gammie's comment about padding was accepted and I thanked her for it and the problem was corrected even though I had to comment on her remarks that were insulting.

So, if you have a comment that is straight forward state it, if all you have is "I don't like the background color", "improve on design" or "the site is kind of scanty" then hold your peace.

I am not asking for a review so that I do what you like or what you prefer.
