I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the services my website offers (not the layout, as I am more concerned with clients/services) and the sites in the portfolio. The site http://www.upstate-designs.com does offer many webmaster tools, forums html tutorials php tutorials seo tutorials and other tutorials. A chat room and design services. By the way I am still in the process of doing free work to build my portfolio, so if anyone needs any work done for free contact me via my site through IM or forums. I also wonder if it is legal to announce my site on these groups. Is this considered spam seeing as how this is a site design related group? If it is please respond and I shall not post it here again. David |
services to others. There are 37 markup errors on the first page alone.
There are 12 CSS errors.
Would you want a house built by a contractor whose house couldn't pass
inspection, no matter how nice it looked?

Really, I think you need to clean up your own house before offering services to others. There are 37 markup errors on the first page alone. There are 12 CSS errors. Would you want a house built by a contractor whose house couldn't pass inspection, no matter how nice it looked? |
the errors? Most consist of...
Quote:
|
|||Line 17, column 14: an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains |||||only name characters ||||<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 back |
Those will never effect you the browser or any end user, but thank you
for your concern. I will get to them all (sigh) when I get the chance.

Most consist of... ||||Line 17, column 14: an attribute value must be a literal unless it ||||contains |||||only name characters |||||<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 |||||marginheight=0 back Those will never effect you the browser or any end user, but thank you for your concern.

but may not in the future.
Presentational elements and attributes that are depreciated today may/will
become obsolete in the future.
So do you want to make changes to 30 pages when a client decides on a new
color scheme, or do you want to change 1? Do you want to have to go in and
change invalid markup when your client's sites don't work in other web
enabled devices, or do you want to do it right the first time?
I do a lot of server side development. That means I might not have time to
do front end work and will suggest to the client they hire someone for
front end only. I always tell them, however, to send me the designers web
site, so I can advise them. Obviously, if I find markup errors, tables for
positioning, etc., I tell them to go elsewhere. I would definately tell
one of my client to find someone else if they were to give me your URL.
So, now, you might understand why you should take the time to clean up.

admitting that you produce garbage and simply don't care.

the standards that are currently in place will be supported by browsers
or other devices in the future. The future is a long time and really
most web pages don't live very long at all. Anyway most tools and
database driven sites are template driven so whether you're changing 1
page or a 1000 makes no difference. If you're handcoding every single
page of a 30 page website you're wasting your time and probably your
client's money.
Thank you for listening and good night.

Those will never effect you the browser or any end user, but thank you for your concern. Just explain what -benefit- you get from including this crap in your markup and we might consider your excuses. As it is, you appear to be admitting that you produce garbage and simply don't care. I will get to them all (sigh) when I get the chance. And we'll commend your site when we "get the chance". Meantime: [spacer.gif] [EMBED] [spacer.gif] I'm not impressed. Have a nice day. |

Don't worry about those anal wankers. There's no guarantee that any of the standards that are currently in place will be supported by browsers or other devices in the future. The future is a long time and really most web pages don't live very long at all. Anyway most tools and database driven sites are template driven so whether you're changing 1 page or a 1000 makes no difference.

That's better
