thegman89 reacted to mrchristoph in What is SEO and how to laern it.SEO stands for 'Single Effect Octahedron'. It works on the basis that a shape with eight sides has more surface area than any other shape, and so what ever is exposed to the eight sides is focused into a 'single effect' to maximise its potetntial.
Applying this to web design, you have to make sure that as many elements of your design as possible have eight sides, and that any code you have is developed in chunks of eight.
Hopefully you found this useful, but if not you may want to browse this site's SEO forum, or maybe doing a simple search on Google.

<?php mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die (mysql_error()); mysql_select_db(yourtable); $page = (!$_GET['page'] || $_GET['page'] < 0) ? "1" : $_GET['page']; $page = ceil($page); $limit = 5; $start = $limit; $end = $page*$limit-($limit); $amount = "SELECT * FROM `yourtable`"; $amount2 = mysql_query($amount) or die(mysql_error()); $amount3 = mysql_num_rows($amount2); $pages = ceil($amount3/$limit); $previous = ($page-1 <= 0) ? "« Prev" : "<a href=\"./yourpage.php?page=".($page-1)."\">« Prev</a>"; $nextpage = ($page+1 > $pages) ? "Next »" : "<a href=\"./yourpage.php?page=".($page+1)."\">Next »</a>"; echo $previous; for($i=1;$i<=$pages;$i++){ $href = ($page == $i) ? " ".$i." " : " <a href=\"./yourpage.php?page=".$i."\">".$i."</a> "; echo $href; } echo $nextpage; ?>

thegman89 reacted to craigburdett in How long till IE dies?We recently began charging clients extra if they want their site optimized for a nearly 10-year-old browser. I explain the problems (show them a couple examples) and encourage them to accept that 6-10% of visitors will not see their site as we design it. So far only one (out of 60 or so) have asked that we do IE6 hacks and if she hadn't been a long-term existing client I would have declined the job. About 20% asked that we add a blurb to the site saying it was not optimized for IE6 and provide a link to upgrade.
The problem is that if we (designers) continue to fix the-crap-that-is-IE6 the folks using the-crap-that-is-IE6 won't know their browser died 5 years ago and no one mourned. And if the sites they visit look good why should they upgrade?
Talk to your clients, explain the issues, tell them you have to charge more for IE6 hacks and let them decide. A 15% up-charge usually helps change their minds. And don't worry about losing a client: it's probably a client you don't really want anyway (the stupid kind).

thegman89 reacted to Billyboard Marketing in How much would u charge for this?Don't be such a **** yeah? You come here asking for OUR opinions and we give them, and get slated for doing it?
Maybe you should **** off to that other forum, you arrogant little rat...

thegman89 reacted to skidz in How much would u charge for this?I work as a professional PHP web developer. WYSIWYG editor. OK.
Your just an ignorant **** I didn't as much as criticise your design and you say "im talking crap". I come to this forum to help people with the knowledge I have not to put up with school kids like you. If you don't like the answers your given don't ask the question.
I won't post in this thread again!

thegman89 reacted to alzer81 in How much would u charge for this?i just think ur talkin crap sayin that u could design and code that in 10 hours. thats all. i have asked on a another design forum (which has a much higher standard of design as this place) and they have replied with sayin u should be asking for as much as €3000 for such a site. "A €450 designer probably doesn't know what he/she is doing, probably using a WYSIWYG editor, no thought about things like usability, accessability or findability. i suppose you usually get what you pay for (or in a lot of cases, less)"

thegman89 reacted to alzer81 in How much would u charge for this?ah god. im not gonna get into this. ur design skills dont look up to much so if u think u could design my site in 10 hours all i can say is fair enough. maybe u could code a couple of pages in 10 hours but u wouldnt be able to design it
