I'd suggest storing submissions in your database then pulling out the bits you need on the results page. Using that approach you could append a submission ID/slug to the URL as the trigger to display the data.

Use the scroll-padding-top CSS rule, e.g. scroll-padding-top: 100px; to offset the target container against your fixed navigation.

For a site and domain that just 20 days old (at the time of writing) it's highly unlikely.

Welcome to WDF!

You'll likely need separate contact info (email address) and bank account info for each Paypal account. Once an account has been set up there's a help guide for verifying at https://www.paypal.com/sm/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-verify-my-paypal-account-faq444/

Oooh yes that's tough when you have a client with no people skills (or a power merchant!). Contact forms asking for "too much" or irrelevant/sensitive information is a regular one for me as well. In the UK we have GDPR to take into account (mentioning legal issues for sensitive info usually makes clients think twice!). Over the pond you have the CCPA and others to take into account - maybe your client wasn't aware of that? Follow orders or do what is right? Tough one. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and do things the clients way, but if it's a difficult problem like you had I'd consider doing what they ask but provide a written disclaimer to say you're not responsible for any negative outcomes.

I think it depends on the subject. Certainly if the client was asking for something unethical or in an illegal grey area that'd be a red flag and a sign to walk away. Conversely if we're talking things like design or content presentation/structure then its your choice how to proceed. We all end up doing things the way the client wants sometimes, even though we recommend something different - in situations like this describe how your solution would work vs the clients solution and let them decide how to proceed - they are after all paying the bill. Like @davep said, you don't have to add the site to your portfolio.

Just curious but is this for selling books of raffle tickets to the public (so they can run their own raffles), or is the site a raffle where you buy a ticket for a chance of winning a prize?

That's looking OK, suggest you check your HTML for errors (there's a doctype tag out of place). Also make sure images have both width and height attribute values to prevent content moving about while the page renders, and add alt attributes for non decorative images.

14678 projects since 2012 - that's averaging between 4 and 5 projects completed every day since 2012. Hmmmm...

If there's no specific reason to run two sites combining them could make life easier in the longer term, most of it means less time managing both sites and increasing time spent on the one you keep. If you end up closing one site you'll need to provide redirects for all old site pages to their new equivalents on the other site. This will give a hint to search engines that pages have moved and to reindex accordingly. Eventually links to old pages will drop away from search results. No complications there at all, sites open/close all the time, pages come and go. Concentrate on what's best for the business!

Doesn't work well on small devices (not responsive) Mystery meat navigation Missing business address and contact details (required by law in some juristictions) Fix those things and we can have another look.

I'd suggest writing a plan. You seem keen on Wordpress (that's fine but there may be better platforms), do some homework and source any 3rd party addons that give you the functionality you want, anything that's missing you'll either need to write yourself or hire a programmer. Oh and don't forget a large part of your audience will access you site on their phones... think "mobile first"!

Yes it's a bit of an open ended question. Have you got a business plan? Who is your target audience? What do you do differently or better than the competition?

But that would reveal invasive URL tracking parameters and affiliate ID's

Hmmm, 8mb home page weight, and 1.2mb CSS file - that's not good. Home page is overloaded with stuff, trim it down, focus on customer tasks.

Its' quite badly made, those line charts are inaccessible to anyone that's colour blind. In reality it's basically made of HTML, CSS and Javascript, plus some scripting to fetch data. That's the tools you'd need.

That's entirely up to you. Try it and see what happens!

Have a look at https://snipcart.com/sell-digital-product

There used to be a few self hosted PHP scripts that did Paypal cart for selling files where the file location was encrypted with time limited links. Can't find one now but have a search around, see what you can find. Alternatively there are dozens of platforms you can sell through.

And your question/point is....?

You domain name will have little affect SEO, the information your provide will. I'd be looking for a domain name that's easy to spell out over the phone, something memorable and easy to remember.

Hmm as a fancy animated page it's great but where's the information for potential customers? Text is almost illegible and so small you have to squint to see it, and when you do spot it links are not obvious. There are no signposts to guide people as to what to do - navigation!. Your contact form seems to be missing correct label tags (that's a basic rookie mistake). So as a demonstration of your skills (assuming you wrote it from scratch and not used cut n paste code) fine, but if you want to attract customers you'll need to have a rethink.

Are you referring to CSS grid? If so grids can have whatever padding/margin/spacing/widths you define, and they can be fixed width or fluid.

The clue here is the content, there's no point in building mockups until you have a good idea what content your visitors need. What I do first is write down known publishing channels or types of information I need, e.g. News, Products, Staff list etc. Then I dissect each channel and figure out what parts (i.e. custom fields) I need in each, so for a news story I may need headline, alternative headline, SEO values, summary, excerpt, primary image, date, story, related links, categories and so on. Once I know what parts are needed I can the start to mockup using the available parts.
