"Bossom for Tat" ?

Goodness me ! the word filtering on this forum borders on the ridiculous.

dhtml6:
@doncigalo is it that you lack knowlege or you are just plain elstupido? If all i have said to you is not clear - that i did backend job and javascript job, then i am sorry, you need to upgrade your knowlege first before you come back to speak to me.

In other words what dhtml is saying to doncigalo is that he is strictly a programer and he concentrated in his area of specialization in the job links he posted, ie the backend and javascripting/php etc.

So doncigalo hear ye

I totally hate Internet explorer.

Will never line up with stuff other browsers take in their stride

I log into my self created account on the church's website and pay my offerings online using a visa or mastercard, debit or credit. That is how it is handled in developed countries if you don't want to give cash.

You said if they dont want to give cash so its not based on any government policy barring them from giving cash. And no one is stopping anyone from giving cash offerings here in Nigeria. Its just that normally, there is an amount that would be indecent to put in the offering basket and even the churches encourage people to write cheques so like i said, nothing has changed.

There is nothing like cashless society. There is no society in the world right now that is cashless. You can still by stuff in marts in US and UK and everywhere in the world with cash. When the amount is higher than what one should be carrying about, thats when eyebrows are raised.

The CBN Olodo governor has recently realised that and reviewed it to cash-light society.

In churches, no one can stop you from making your 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 even to 20,000 naira cash offerings. When its amounts that are quite high, they can always write cheques(which is what has always been obtainable). So nothing changed.

On the issue at hand, I would say I dont blame the person that started the thread and those supporting her view. There are a couple of people in the webmasters section that I respect(no need to mention their names but I suspect they will know themselves). But there are people in the webmasters section, who incidentally are more vocal and forward in advertising for jobs and replying job ads, that are unprofessional and really graphically/aesthetically challenged. And I suspect its those people that the OP and those in support have based their views on.

A couple of weeks ago, this same issue came up and someone said that we must not criticise badly done jobs nor point out when someone is being unprofessional in his/her work. I remember I tried to make the person understand that Nairaland's Internet reach is quite extensive and that there was a danger of people both in Nigeria and abroad, to start placing all webmasters in Nigeria on the same pedestal. This is why I said that.

I can tell you that there are good designers that I know who only visit the webmasters forum just for the sake of it and would not post their work or jobs here so as not to be placed on the same pedestal. I know that some people will then say that if they do post their jobs, that the jobs would stand them out, but there is more to it than that.

We saw in this webmasters section last year, when someone replied to an advert for a web design job and listed jobs from another companies portfolio. Just to impress the person looking for a web designer. Imagine that? Steal links to someone else's portfolio and pass it off here as his own. Isnt that preposterous? With the level of unprofessionalism going on here, it doesnt even end at just stealing links and passing it off as theirs. Anyone that can do that, can as well go to your clients(which they will get from your links) and totally mess up things for you. Even if you get to clear up issues later,  a damage, no matter how little, has been done.

These are some reasons why some of those people(who I know personally), shy away from posting their portfolio here.

So, like some have already said, no need to use some people in here to judge.

Even the spot Facebook logo is supposed to be, have signs of photoshop eraser being used on it.

Why would a company of that 'status' , that is involved in web business, allow their doman to expire ?

Mind-boggling

Chimxy4sato:
Tanx bro. But hw much do u think i should charge based on the description of d work?

But you are the one who will be doing the work , no? No one can tell you what to charge for a job you are going to do.

Have you not done any jobs before now? If you have, surely you know the time and effort it took to complete. You should be able to bill accordingly if you have been doing jobs before. Or are you hoping to pass it on to someone else and play the middle man?

No one can tell you what to charge for a job that you are going to do.

Chimxy4sato:
They want to have a feature whereby people can book for reservation, together with other basic things that come with a website.

When a client asks you to quote for a project and you have obviously not done such before, try to ask them if they have sites in their line of business which they would want to model theirs after. They may not be able to tell you exactly what they want but when they show you sites that they like, you would then be able to look at all the stuff on that site and bill accordingly.

You can then give them other options using their reference as base. Also, when you get such a request, do an online search and take a look at hotel websites all around the world and see the features and trends. That way you can even make suggestions .

Training in Localhost and SERVER SIDE.

@Yawatide,

Are you in anyway, obligated to using Godaddy? Godaddy is a pain to web developers and website owners just as Internet explorer is a pain to web designers.

You are bound to encounter issues that you would normally not have with other hosts if you use Godaddy.

Just like Microsoft, they just wont let things be without complicating things with dependencies.

Hey, even registering a domain name with them is a pain and they keep harrasing you with dependencies and add ons.

For hosting, I dont recommend Godaddy at all as you have better viable options.

Obviously, the person is neither a web designer nor programmer.

He and the others that he says would be featured are bloggers and should have just titled it, 'how to make your blogging succesful'.

Linda Ikeji having a succesful blog, does not turn her to a web design expert overnight.

Yeah, it looks like its the same people .

Avast blocked the malicious file then ,it seems.

Maybe the package includes the thousands of table-based web templates on the internet/hostgator ,that your would-be experts only need to patch up by changing the words, yeah?

They only end up looking like jumbled up spaghetti in tag soup.

awesomecon:
@yawa-ti-de, gone are the day that you have to write html, css, javascripts codes before you can design a website.
If you have the opportunity to come, just come and see.

ALL IS A MATTER OF YOU BUILDING ON THE WHATEVER KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE PACKAGE FOR ALL NIGERIANS.

Thank you all.

So what is this package that you dont have to learn the web design tools to become an expert in one day?

Abracadabra?

Dreamweaver is good enough for you. And if you really want to move on from there, there are loads of online tutorials on building sites with css/xhtml . So you are not tied to those expensive tools.

Those people are becoming a total nuisance. Just like the likes of MEND and Boko Haram.

Everytime, threats, threats and more threats. Soon enough they will start threatening themselves:

"Note to self, If you dont get a life and get an actual job, I will bomb you(Boko) and delete you from the social security system."(Anonymous).

Please, is Sanusi's tenure not supposed to have run its cause? Is it not four years yet? I thought the CBN governor in Nigeria has a four year tenure? This man should just leave. Its been the worst of all CBN Governors. From the return of round-tripping , to irresponsible use of public funds and no meaningful monetary policies. Just leave ok?

Hello digidragonfly,

What I would advise ,as I always do when it comes to those that use ready-made themes/templates, is to at least try to change things like color scheme or background image. A change of background image can go a long way to modify and customize a theme/template from the original look.

I am sure you understand what am talking about as it would give your business more credence and originality .

funshint:
This man Dangote has made no positive impact to d lives of Nigerians over d years. All he does is to establish companies dat sap our money and get nothin back in return. D road leading to Obajana cement plant is one of d worst roads ( if not d worst) in dis country. D road has bin totally destroyed by his batallion of trailers, same as Lagos-Ibadan express way. I even doubt if d guy has a foundation?! He's really of no importance to us. mtsheew!!

The biggest single employer of Labour(as an Individual). A very detribalized Nigerian(P A s and Aids from different parts of the country). Contrary to your lies above, wherever his industries are situated, that community enjoys ammenities that otherwise would not have been there.

For you to still say the highlighted, it just follows that you are a totally clueless person or an alien on our land.

Its not a must for people to comment. "For even a fool, is thought to be wise if he keeps silent"(scripture)

diluminati:
Disgusting Monopoly. Dangote, are you the only one who's gonna produce cement for the whole nation? are you the only cement manufacturer there is?

Did you actually think this over before you posted it? What stops others from establishing multi-billion Naira cement plants in Nigeria?

Ironi:
Moody asks,

Why Are Ghanaians Not Protesting About Fuel Price?

This one was a very good question and we'll like you to answer it as a Ghanaian.    

Ans:
Because we use our brains and that is why there is less killings and carnage in Ghana.

We just don't go on rampage just because the govt increases fuel price.

We analyse and decide whether the increment is necessary before we act.

Nigerians most of the times act on instinct; this often leads to unnecessary deaths which is an every day occurrence in Nigeria.

On the highlighted part, Nice one.
