How to handle bad feedback

12 November 2012 - 09:38 PM

So a bunch of creative Irish guys got bored of clients giving them really retarded feedback. Instead of moaning about it, they made posters, sold them and donated the proceeds to a children's charity.

Hosting for a brochure site

30 October 2012 - 12:16 PM

Hi guys.

I've had a quick search and I can't find any mention of this so I'm making a whole new thread.

I might have a client who wants a website made up. The website would be little more than a brochure site; it would need a small amount of website, consist of a couple of pages (maybe as many as 5), host a few images and style sheets. My question is, if you had such a site to build, where would you host it? Are there any hosting companies out there who offer cheaper rates for tiny websites or is it just easier to look around for cheap hosting and have a whole bunch of unused space on a server somewhere?

CSS Challenge

02 August 2012 - 10:43 PM

I've got a fun little challenge for everyone here. Those who frequent the IRC will know that I've been playing with slanted headings. These have now evolved into wrap-around headings; currently they look like this fiddle: Skateside's awesome fiddle.

Here's the challenge: can anyone think of a way to make the slant stretch to the full height when that heading double-lines?

The only rule is that you're not allowed to add any more elements (except a rogue <br> for testing). It should degrade in older browsers (I won't insist that it has to work perfectly in IE7, although you'll be hailed as a CSS god if you can pull it off). The background of the <body> tag can change or even be patterned, the background of the <article> will always be a solid colour (although if you can successfully render this on any background, more CSS god-like recognition will be heading your way)

Nothing to win here except bragging rights. Wanna play?
