    Chris Day got a reaction from fisicx in The Tradesman Theme   
    Using the gardening example:
    On a larger screen (1920x1080) the grid of services seems to be rather large. Maybe have a sidebar or have a fixed width? When clicking on an image of a service it would be good to go to the post rather then having to click the title. IMO there is too much transparency in places, sometimes a solid background color can be easier to read. The title is hard to read (green text on a green background) When viewing a service i would remove the "< {Prev Post Name}" "{Next Post} >" links and maybe replace them with a "Other Services" section.

    Chris Day got a reaction from BrowserBugs in New project?   
    That is a very similar idea to what I have had in the past, I play a lot of overwatch so was thinking you put your current team characters in, it then pulls your OW stats and chooses the best-fit hero for your team, could go one step further and enter what team the enemy has and then decide the best hero to play.
    But in the end, I have decided to re-brand myself and have more of a push on freelance work this year, I've always wanted to be my own boss and want to venture outside energy management applications

    That does seam low, i would expect around that if you were employed in a web development role (junior-mid level). I don't freelance and when i do its always for friends/family so i just charge expenses.

    Forbes.com is hands down the worst. It's not enough to make you read a 'quote of the day' before entering the site, but if you have Adblock there's no way to proceed, it just takes you back to the quote.
     
    It's up there with Adobe Reader updates.

    I'm no SEO expert but I think you get penalized for having a hyphen in the domain, even if you don't it isn't very user-friendly as it makes it a lot harder to remember.

    Chris Day got a reaction from logaritym in Is my content bad or just the design sucks?   
    I too like the idea, i was reading some of the brain teasers but the UI is not that nice, if you was to use something like this forums spoiler tag it would be much better rather then being redirected to another page.
     
    Also i would put a random brain teaser on the first page, its a good way to get the user engaged and thinking, then they will be more likely to look around.
     
    Example of the spoiler

    Unless you need all future dates in the database for some reason you can do something like this.
     

    CREATE EVENT `addDateDaily` ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY STARTS '2015-12-30 00:00:00' ON COMPLETION PRESERVE ENABLE DO INSERT INTO `XYZ` (`date`) VALUES (NOW()); // If you always need the future year in the database CREATE EVENT `addDateDaily` ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY STARTS '2015-12-30 00:00:00' ON COMPLETION PRESERVE ENABLE DO INSERT INTO `XYZ` (`date`) VALUES (DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 YEAR)); This would then create a record in the database every day so you wont have to do this ever again, you can also do this with a cron or windows scheduled task (depending on OS)

    What kind of password protection do you want, only public_html will be accessible externally via HTTP port 80 all others you would have to log in via SSH (port 22) or FTP (port 21) to access.

    This is why I recommend seeking out employment and gaining experience rather than freelancing. I could freelance now for considerably more than I make right now, but experience gained working with more advanced developers now will benefit me greatly in the future if and when I decide to do it alone.
    Especially at beginner / intermediate level I really think working with other developers will allow you to gain crucial experience.
    You learn and get paid on the job instead of devoting time to seeking out clients (who at this stage mostly have crappy project ideas) and dealing with things that will take up a lot of time... leaving little time for actually getting better at programming.
    Unfortunately this might come across as a harsh reality, but the devs I know who have succeeded - and i mean REALLY succeded all worked for somebody else for a number of years, moved onto a large company before branching out on their own.
