thanks sir, he thought the way Facebook is today was how it looked when mark zuckerberg designed it 14years ago. thanks sir

FemiYB:
Brother, firstly that website is shitty please, abeg don't show it to anyone again.

I can't even say Yes WordPress can build a site like that, please. That can't even be compared to what you can do with WordPress

I think the problem here is you think WordPress is like Wix


Go check these websites

https://www.awwwards.com/websites/wordpress/

well thanks for your opinion, that's a project work brought to life. like i said, i will be moving it to bootstrap 4 very soon.

so please kindly do me a favour and store the name "ourwork.com.ng" in your memory because it will be coming out very soon

lastly, wordpress can't do functionalities of what's on my platform except only corporate website of 5 pages (home, about us, services, contact us).


i am not against wordpress as a web design tool. i am just against those who think knowing wordpress makes them a web developer. Just like pharmacist are claiming to be doctors.

thank you...

can WordPress build a website like that?? its not an e-commerce site, so dont talk about using woo-commerce. i am not talking about beauty here (i will be moving it to bootstrap 4 soon ) but functionalities. can wordpress can??

SmartyPants:
Lol... you can check any website's source code. Right click on the page and scroll down to "view page source".

so by doing that, you will know if php was used??


I laugh.

i even thought you were talking about the source code written by Indians for the gtb website.

Zeromoney:
Let me ask you a question, if you were to floor the compound of your residential home with interlocking stones, will you mold yours or buy from a dealer?



Wordpress is your 'dealer'!

i think if the design of what i want is available, i buy from dealer and if the design of what i want is complex and not available i mold mine. at least it will be unique

SmartyPants:
It seems like you are not very knowledgeable about the whole thing. In the first place GTBank's website is a simple HTML, CSS and Javascript site. There is no php (or rather very little PHP), and i've just checked the source file.

Secondly, coding in HTML, CSS and PHP is the definition of coding from scratch so i don't know what you are trying to say.

Finally, true wordpress developers are proficient in all four languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP) and then they understand Wordpress. As we speak, over 27% of all websites worldwide are powered by Wordpress, including some of the world's biggest brands. This trend is only set to grow.

So continue mocking things you don't fully understand untill you find yourself snd your skillset (if you haave) completely obsolete.

sir how did you check gtb's website's source code

be like say the mod wey push this thread to front page just dey come back from meeting oo

NYP(Nigeria Youth Party) is a proposed party centred on getting more youth and elders ones who have felt the hurt of the country together towards ensuring that they come together and strategize towards a peaceful and greater Nigeria. Contesting is restricted to the youth only, hence the name (Nigeria Youth Party). In NYP we don't allow for cross-carpeting, neither do we allow for old bloods. you could check out our site on my browser. You can also join our Facebook group via the website to join us, you can ask your questions on our Facebook group so we don't derail the thread.. Thanks

this is what i have been praying for, a party for young minds.

i hope children of our current politicians won't be allowed to contest through the party so also all former SUG Presidents(Student Union) and adults older than 50yrs

Doerstech:
Before contacting a web designer/developer for your website, you normally have to go through series of question and answer sessions, some initiated by designer, others by you as the site owner.

As a business owner you must have asked your website designer some of these questions

(1) Examples of sites he/she has built before.

(2) What technology/tools will he/she deploy in building your site.

(3) Will your site have these/that features ( responsive, blog, forum, newsletter, optin-form, payment processors etc )

(4) How long will it take for your site to be ready?

(5) The cost and other extras like maintenance SEO and the rest


And more, the list can go on and on. the designer will in turn ask you some familiar  questions with the most important one being.


What kind of  website do you want ( simply informational site, dynamic/database driven site ( with user generated contents ) e-commerce
website, forum, community/NGO or even just a blog website)


With the above question, the designer can then tell what possible technology to deploy for the website, how long it will take for the job to get done and the possible cost.

After all said and done and your website is delivered to you, is now your turn to ask post design questions so you can re-validate your earlier agreement and for you to confirm that your site had all the needed required features.



(1) Is my site optimized for search engine?

The internet is filled with so much information on search engine optimization and it’s important to any personal, professional and business website  on the internet. SEO allows you to grab free organic traffic that’s around your business themes, phrases and keyword putting you in front of your target audience.

And when we talk about optimization, we are not just talking about the right keywords mapped to the right pages. But we are also talking about

(a) Your site assets ( images, videos and other media files ).
(b) Its speed.
(c) It’s structure.
(d) It’s responsiveness and accessibility features all optimized as they should.


So it’s important that this becomes part of any website design process for any web designer who knows his/her onion.


Read - https://doerstechnologies.com.ng/5-things-to-do-to-make-your-website-more-visible-to-your-target-audience


(2) Has it been submitted to relevant search engines

This is not far from the first above and not absolutely necessary. Yes not necessary in the sense that search engine robots finds and index website pages/posts as they craw around the web following links and searching for contents that matches uses search queries.

if you have done your part well, taking all the right steps to make sure your website/it’s content is not just hiding at one corner of the web, then be certain that you will be found sooner than later.

But as a new website owner, you need to take that extra step of submitting your site to relevant search engines like Google and Bing through their respective search console.



Read - https://doerstechnologies.com.ng/how-to-generate-create-xml-sitemap-website


(3) is it mobile friendly and responsive?
With everything driven by mobile interactions as we do almost everything with  our mobile devices, one wonders if this question is actually necessary.

But from experience not all business owners has the technical know how to understand what mobile first and the responsiveness of their website means as their only understanding of their business website looking good and ok, is just about it being good on their various laptops and desktop computers.

Be it as it might be, you expect any modern web designer cum developer to build website with mobile first approach and also those building with CMS like (WordPress, Joomla etc ) to build with themes that are mobile and responsive ( Almost all modern themes are.)

So don’t just ask test your site starting with your own mobile devices and with existing mobile testing tools to be certainly sure that’s the mobile and responsiveness of your site is taken care of.



(4) Is my site secured?
This is another important question and when we talk about security, the first thing that comes to mind is the green key signs on https:// designated sites. That being part of it, but your website security goes further from that especially if built with Content Management Systems like WordPress. Your website being secured requires you to.

(a) Take advantage of any existing security features of your website host. whatever they have like inbuilt sitelock etc that you need to
activate, please do.

(b) Regularly keep your installed plugins/scripts and the CMS itself updated. Every available update tends to resolve one security issue
or the other so it's important you regularly login to your CMS dashboard and keep your files updated.

(c) Delete any un-used plugins installed.

(d) Install security plugins when necessary and needed starting with free ones like BulletProof Security to add extra layer to the
security feature of your site.

(e) Use https://: Having an SSL certificate on your site which ensures your users that they are on the right site and their activities on
your site is secured. This feature, is no longer the exclusive preserve of online stores and the rest of them, it's important for every
site to have this as it is now an important part of SEO for your site.

The above points are just a scratch on the surface of how important security is to your site especially if your website requires heavy hits, you have to take extra measures to ensure that all identifiable security loopholes are taken care of.



(5) Do i have any Newsletter signup attached?

One of the sole purpose of building a website for your business, is to attract the right set of audience to it and not just any audience, but audience that can pick interest in what you have to offer, stay with you and ultimately buy from you.

This becomes easier when you have a means of communicating with them on a regular basis and proffering solutions to their needs which is where the newsletter signup comes in.

With your newsletter and any other optin tool on your site, you will be able to capture their details like email and use same to show your expertise, cultivate them and build trust with them.



(6) Can i track my site visitors?
Following on the heels of newsletter is the ability to track your site visitors. By this I mean knowing where your customers are coming from, how and what they do when they come to your site. You need to know

(a) What keywords/phrases they used to land on your site

(b) What devices ( phones, laptops).

(c) What pages they spend most of their time on when they visit your site etc.

(d) And for how long


This is where your Google analytics, Google search console and the rest of them comes in. Your web designer needs to show you evidence that this has being done and grant you access to this analytic on your request as data's and intelligence deduced from your site analytics  can help you make needed changes on your site.



(7) Do i have a blog and can my users easily read and share my site content online?
What ways can you really show that you’re an expert? How can you tell the world that you know what you’re doing if not through your blog? With a blog you can

Show your expertise and grasps of your business to your existing and potential customers

You can provide fresh content on a regularly to search engines robots to feed on and much more and lots more.

And not just a blog, but one that’s shareable, once users land on your blog are they able to like and share your content with ease?



( How can this website be updated and maintained? is there an agreement to do so by the designer
This is an important question to ask so that you both don’t have issues on the long run. Depending on what the website is built on ( Content Management System or coded from ground up using HTML,CSS, JS or any other Front End Framework ) a proper agreement should be in place on the maintenance and management of the site.

Is there a grace period whereby your site will be updated by the designer at no extra charge?

Will you be shown how to update it yourself especially if it’s a CMS built website?

It’s good to work out these details from the beginning and re-affirm them at the end of the business transaction for the interest of peace.


(9) My login details, can i have them?
The last on my list and the most simply/difficult one for many crocked reasons. Now before i proceed on why this is both simply and difficult let me list the possible login details to ask your site designer

For those whose's site was built with CMS like WordPress, then your dashboard login details. With this you can login and update your site pages and posts, most importantly update your site plugins.

Your Site Cpanel details

FTP login details etc

The story about how this is both simply and difficult will be for another day.

Hope with these 9 questions, i have provided a site owner or a new to be website owner an important information to better deal with his/her webmaster and ensure you get the full value of what you paid for.

Nobody knows bruh, he didnt have enough money for the test expenses

Its his load, let him carry it

Their church pastor intervened and the case was taken off court, they settled at home, got suspended in church, forced to shamefully wed

And now they are practising royal rumble at home

what a pity. his current situation can fall on anybody. he his your friend, remember him in your prayers.

One thing people should know is that, a church is an organization. Being an organization means there are people behind it, controlling it. So decisions to be taken will go through processes before the final effects are seen.


compared to individuals like freezed embryo that can easily make and take decisions without much a do

Therock5555:
Hehehe my homie is now a married man; she gave birth to a male child

But now the home is like fuji house of commotion; fights and quarrels have been the order of the day, dont envy the homie at all

ehen!! so your friend married her with the child that's not his??

Therock5555:
Hello folks, I just came back from a court summon with my close pal and I really think his case should serve as a warning to others.

He has been dating a lady for the past three years, his parents didn't like the girl and discouraged him but he was adamant, he usually visited her parents and bought gifts for her siblings, she was his world or should I say she was his weakness.

He spent frivolously on her, She wasn't working but her room was more decorated than even an oil worker while he managed simple appliances. What caused their rifts was that he opened a hairdressing saloon for her, collected a loan of over 150k, coincidentally his younger sister was about going back to school and she needed 40k, his dad didn't have enough so he pleaded with his son but the boy said he didn't have any, his sister had to sell her phone to him just to complete the money when she had no other choice, and he on the other hand was opening a saloon for his girl.

Word fluttered around that his girl had began cheating on him, he stubbornly refused to listen until he caught her red handed, instead of breaking up with her and counting his losses, he decided not to be a maga, so he kept her and kept sleeping with her like every time they were together.

The girl later found out that he had started dating another girl, she confided in a friend who was closed to me that she was going to punish the guy for wasting three years of her life.

She took in and accused the guy of being responsible for her pregnancy, of course he couldn't outrightly deny her, both parents knew they were dating as he was the only guy she ever brought home to her parents.

He denied the pregnancy on the grounds that he always played safe with her but of course who would believe him, now he's running around trying to source funds for a paternity test while battling court summons and an impending disownment by his dad, infact his dad almost got cardiac arrest when in court he was told his son opened a saloon when his own sister needed just less than 10k to complete her school tuition.

None of his family members even follows him to court again, they left him to his fate.

Now to my fellow guys, please if your girl is cheating, just free her, don't look at what you had spent on her because some ladies lack conscience and could ruin your life due to their selfish interests.

pls be warn, if you would do 'chop and clean mouth', do it with a side chick that won't destroy your life or who is just a friend with benefit.

A Word Is Enough For The Wise My Friends....

its a year now?? any new development??

na yam sef no be potatoes.


na wa o. its either computer village boys dey learn where these people dey or these people come learn from computer village boys. all i know is that, there was a learning.


make she happy say no be smelling fufu she see inside the package

Scented:
Hey guys, I opened this account just for this reason alone, I just can't use my popular Nairaland moniker. I'm a very active and popular member on Nairaland but I'm using this moniker because you guys might give bias advise if you all know who I'm.

I'm 27, I work, not earning high though, but enough to keep me financially independent to some degree to fix my basic needs and wants.

I'm dating Daniel, I'm in love with him, he is 29, he works for an average firm, his pay is just like mine, just average pay. But enough for basic up keep and basic "flexing". Now I wanna tell you what's so special about Daniel, he is 6 feet tall, he is not too slim and not muscular, he has not just a handsome face but a pretty one, he makes my intelligence seem like ignorance with his high level of intellect and smartness, he has taught me a lot I couldn't have learnt even at Harvard University, calling him intelligent is an understatement! And about intimacy, ladies, have you ever met a guy who is so good in bed that you can hardly resist him even when you are in your worst mood? Daniel is just something else in bed, he is perfect in bed. His is a firm and loving guy, he doesn't tolerate me behaving silly but yet he still draws me closer if I behave silly. He has never hit me even when I get on his nerves, he acts calm and collected and goes silent if he is not in the mood to put me in my right place with his some harsh words.

Career wise Daniel has focus and has a vision where he sees himself in the next 5 years. He is my 3rd ever boyfriend and he is the type any girl would wanna keep.

Now the only issue with us is that Daniel has told me he would be ready to get married when he 31 years, that's 2 years from now, he has calculated everything for me to see how it would take 2 years before he is ready financially and otherwise, he is not a fantasy dreamer who thinks he would win a jackpot and marry tomorrow therefore his 31 years age mark of getting married considering his current job and future career prospects.

Now guy number 2 is called Joe, he is 32, he is a very high earner financially, generally he is a nice guy, handsome, neat and a gentleman.

I met him at my place of work some months ago, although he doesn't work there, he had a project with us which made him to frequently be at my work place a lot during that period. From the initial familiarity talks and all he stated it from the beginning that he wants me as a wife and he has observed me for about a month and I'm the one but I always sternly told him I'm dating someone else I love and nothing can happen between him and I. He has asked I follow him to his family house to see his mom on a couple of occasions, I refused on all occasions. I have never accepted to even hang out with him for once, we just talk on phone and chat.

I was surprised when one day at work during break at the cafeteria he came with his mom, he smiled and left us alone, his mom looked me straight into the eyes and told me that as a woman she gives me her word and she is telling me that her son is for real and not just after sleeping with me, she even told me that she already told her son she will not vouch for him if he wanted a sex involved courtship with me. And she also told me she liked me the first time he son secretly brought her to the office so she can see me. She also said if I agree the families would commence marriage plans after Joe and I have had about 3 months of courtship, after which we would do all medical tests and proceed to the actual wedding proper.

My dilemma now is this; In 2 years from now, would Daniel still love me and remain faithful to me and still keep to his promise to marry me? If I decide to wait for Daniel, in 2 years from now I would be 29, isn't that too much of a risk to take?

My parents and relatives keep pestering me about marriage and in my family all ladies get married before they reach 27, I'm the only person who has clocked 27 without being married yet.

I'm in love with Daniel, I'm crazy for that boy, but Joe on the other hand offers me what Daniel can't offer for now. I don't have feelings for John at this stage and to be fair he is the type of guy any girl can fall madly in love with if given a chance into her life, so my question is this- "Should I wait for Daniel or should I give Joe a chance?"

Please this is more complicated than the popular cliché; "If you are confused about two people to love, pick the new guy because if you really loved the former guy you would not consider the new guy". This is more complicated than that, please I need good opinion and advise, and your reasons for your opinions.

Thank you all!
