[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;42700015]That site design doesn't match the existing brand very well at all. You went for the clean trendy "Designer" look but their logo is organic and handwritten. I don't think the font you chose for the headlines really fits with the logo OR the rest of the design either.

Spacing and alignment on things is good though.[/QUOTE]

Their logo used comic sans, i just changed the font quickly to something similiar because I couldn't look at it. We are discussing an update on the logo. Thanks for the feedback tho :)

[QUOTE=xianlee;42700035]What have you used for the image going across 100% of the page? like what plugin [if any]?[/QUOTE]

No just fixed an image to fit in photoshop :)

could have done with a subpixel image translation (however you did it) for that extra smooth experience
[url]http://codepen.io/paulirish/pen/nkwKs[/url] non subpixel
[url]http://codepen.io/paulirish/pen/LsxyF[/url] subpixel

but i think it looks really well done nice job

Is that with translate()? I could do that but it might take a bit of work as the images are just css backgrounds right now.

[CBastard]

Another thing you can do for smoother animation (not just for translations) in webkit is to trigger 3D hardware acceleration on the element using:

-webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);

In some cases you can get [URL="http://jsfiddle.net/yDXEg/6/"]unexpected results[/URL] though. In this example you can fix it by using:

-webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0.001);

This would look 10x better if you ditched that lighter grey border on everything and gave your content boxes 15px or so of padding.

Turns out I was bitching about IE10, when infact IE was running in IE7 document mode, sorry Microsoft!

Oh sorry to say but if I hover the lower right of the Tumblr it does the same freaky stuff again, however it looks like it's the page extending and then going back constantly, so shouldn't be too hard to fix. :)

Should I try and add support for as many database types as possible in my library/framework? At the moment it supports MySQL and Memcache. I've been thinking about trying to add PostgreSQL/Redis support though.

[MetricMoose]

I had a shitty spreadsheet to track my car's gas milage, though it was annoying to use on my phone and looked ulgy as hell. I also wanted to play around with using a database in Python, so I decided to remake the spreadsheet using web.py and sqlite.

I'm terrible at making things look good in HTML/CSS, so rather than have ugly plain HTML tables and stuff, I spent like 5 minutes on importing Twitter Bootstrap and adding the classes to my table and form:

I also quickly threw together a page to remove an entry if I butchered it. I didn't bother making it look fancy because it's rarely going to be used:

Implement PDO, it will allow you to use a number of different database types.

Got my first real freelance gig. :dance:
I'm not sure what I should charge to be honest though.

[Naptime]

Apache stops working at random, is there a way to trouble shoot this?

Wow sorry, this is not the thread I thought it was.

Bill hourly and bill a bit higher than a junior developer would be paid hourly. Be really transparent with your client and try to do the smallest possible first iteration of the project and work with them to gradually improve it. Getting your clients to see the benefits of working in a short iterative fashion is amazing and generally makes them more enjoyable to work with I've found.

What exactly is wrong with PHP, I'm just starting to learn it, can someone direct me towards something else or possibly give me reasons why it sucks?

I'm working on a site btw, which uses PHP.

I can recommend Sinatra (Ruby), Ruby on Rails is also an options but it's a lot bigger and if you are starting out with the language it can be somewhat overwhelming (at least it was to me)

[Erasus]

How is it different to PHP? Like why does everyone hate it? Would it benefit me to use a language like ruby?

[CBastard]

[QUOTE=Erasus;42742546]How is it different to PHP? Like why does everyone hate it? Would it benefit me to use a language like ruby?[/QUOTE]

The best analogy is that PHP is like English and Ruby on Rails is like Esperanto. English is broken, inconsistent, there are exceptions to every rule and has changed over the years. English is very widely spoken despite this.

Esperanto is a young designed language, from the outset what it had to do was defined, it is clean and far more consistent. It's not widely spoken.

Opinions?

I see. Rails it is then, might give Sinatra a shot too. Might be a stupid question but should I go to Sinatra and then to Rails, will all of the terminology be the same?

Looks really good man, like awesome. If I could suggest anything though I'd make something to go around the post on the left hand side.. or maybe just a footer. Could also try a darker background as well to counter it. Looks great, though.
