Out of all the Joomla extensions which would help me best to solve these problems? 1) A Conference centre wants to have an 'Event registration form'. Once a client has booked an event the delegates are given a code/password and can 'sign in' online and the Conference Centre will have their details captured. 2) A 'comments form' so that the delegates can leave feedback but the Conference Centre can moderate. Any advice to point me through the humungous number of possibly suitable Joomla extensions would be grand!

Thanks - I have got a fair number of pages in the old site - should I 301 all of them to the new site. Should we add locations in titles and description to help in local searches - or should we have a special page on the new site for the old location that the 301 directs searches locally to?

I've built a website for the company I used to work for and spent some time getting the SEO as good as I could and moved from page 50 in Google to page 1 for lots of search terms. The company has been bought by another based about 120 miles away and they want to point the old www to the new www. Trouble is I think that this means that in the old area (where there is still a sales office) anyone searching for what the company does is not going to find the local office. Am I right? From what I can see the SEO on the new website doesn't mention our local area at all in the keywords or description....unless Google have changed all their parameters. Is the old company going to lose out over this? Am I right to be concerned?

Employed at the moment or I'd be the oldest junior ever!! Thanks all for the suggestions - I'll try them all!

I have self-learnt (X)HTML & CSS and have some websites under my belt and wonder what I should learn next in website design/development? PHP? Mysql? I don't use Dreamweaver but hand code. Your opinions would be gratefully received.

I have Macs that are years old and still work. In fact my G5 is at least 5 years old and is my main machine. Been running PCs and Macs since 1988 (I think) and have chucked out lots of PCs cos they have failed but have never had a Mac fail. Having said that PCs are getting much better - but Macs still have the edge - screens are fabuluous. . . if you can buy one!

Hi Deb Another Essex person here! Welcome!

Makes my life easier! Thanks for the advice.

Thanks but have I explained myself. . . ? Columns left and right will just have pictures in them. The centre column will have all the text - therefore for SEO and search purposes I want the text (the middle column) to be first in the html.. <div id="center"> Blah blah </div> <div id="left"> pictures </div> <div id="right"> pictures </div> Will what you have given me work? cheers Kate

Can anyone help with an html+css to give the columns in the right order for SEO. I want the middle column (which appears 3rd in my html) to be first. I have fixed width columns and fluid middle. . . Point me in the right direction??? Thanks Kate

I have one at home - bought about 3 years ago. Compared to my old G5 at work it's slow but the new ones would be fine I imagine. Or go for an iMac even less desk space. . . much nicer than a PC!!

All sorted now thanks - must remember not to use capital letters!!

I just worked off the desktop and transferred the whole folder so the links should be the same. . . but I will check. Thnx

I've built a site in html & css and used Easyslider to create a rotating picture box. Works great on my Mac but when I upload the website to the web it doesn't show anything. Blank space. Don't really want to put link here and get it googled! but how to get help? I know nothing about javascripts. Can anybody help?

Thanks notbanksy - I have fiddled about with margins and padding and hopefully got it right. I didn't realise I could put a class on images - well I thought it would be possible but didn't realise it went after img! So double thanks needed here.

I may be thick but I though CRM was 'Customer Relationship Management' ie a programme that organises your client database for sales and marketing purposes. ACT! is the best one I know for this. . . (google Act! consultants) CMS (content management system) is where your client can change the pages on his website himself without going through the website designer/developer and then you should look at Joomla, MODx, etc Kate

Hi Help needed. . . Client wants to use words as an image and there's too much space/leading beneath it. How do I close up? <img src="express.gif alt="Express Reinforcement"/> <p>Cut and bent to your schedule. Reinforcing Mesh, Reinforcing Rod - Hi-tensile and Mild Steel plus all accessories.</p>

Thank you so much - works perfectly!! Not Grumpykate now!!

Hi I have five nav rounded buttons that I cant get to centre on the site. . .Can anyone help? Thanks Kate html is: <div id="navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="index.html" title="Structural steel for builders">Home</a></li> <li><a href="products.html" title="A comprehensive service for steel">Products></a></li> <li><a href="delivery.html" title="A map of where we deliver to roughly">Delivery Area</a></li> <li><a href="location.html" title="How to find us">Our Location</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html" title="How to get in contact with us">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> css is: #navigation ul{ list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; } #navigation li{ background: url(images/buttons.jpg) left no-repeat; overflow: hidden; height: 22px; width: 178px; padding-left: 10px; margin-right: 5px; float: left; text-align: center; } #navigation li a{ background: url(images/buttons.jpg) right no-repeat; display: block; padding: 2px 10px 1px 0px; height: 19px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } #navigation a:link { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } #navigation a:visited { color: #cc3333; text-decoration: none; } #navigation a:hover { color: #FFCC33; text-decoration: none; }

Thanks for that - there's alot to look through here. . . I reckon I'll be back!

Duh! I knew that too. . . cold had frozen the brain. Thanks for that

Hi one of my clients has a website. . . but doesn't know who hosts it anymore. He doesn't pay for it. . .it was hosted by Sage but he doesn't think they host websites now. Can we find out who is hosting his website and it needs to be updated? Suggestions gratefully received!

I have a couple of customers who are asking for CMS websites. One in particular wants to be able to update content and also run an ecommerce site and capture emails (though if customers are buying from him he will get emails anyway presumably). I am newish to website development/design (am learning XHTML & CSS) what's going to be best for me and my clients? I'm not keen on giving ftp info away (as with Cushy). . . Help!

Don't think I used the correct words here - it still doesn't work. OK in Safari and Firefox on 2 Macs but not in IE7 and 6. Anyone any ideas? Thanks Kate http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_im...icons/icon9.gif

Yes - that's it!
