Software Development

Developing software is an important aspect of the work we do. Many software packages contain what is sometimes known as ‘bloatware’. Bloatware simply means to take a software package and fill it to overflowing with every possible option available. The problem is the package then becomes unusable or to use it takes a very steep learning curve. So to get around this we develop software.

WP crm is a plugin to the Wordpress CMS. CRM stands for Customer Resource Manager and in its simplest form is an application that allows you to manage your customers through letters, emails and dating times of contact. It will have a very handy contact form, which when completed by a customer will store the details directly in your database for immediate management use.

Slow Down

And if you get the chance, slow down and watch some paint dry, some snails race and just chill. If you’ve got a wife, daughter or son, go and tell them you love them.

The two keys to search engine optimisation are:
1. Content - that is actual text on the site. Not pictures or flash or anything like this but text
2. Links to the site

Links to the site can be established in several ways:
a. Free directories
b. Paid directories
c. Paid link advertising (Google Ads)
d. Reciprocal linking
e. Editorial link.
Of them all the last is the best. It is quite simply someone linking to your site because they like the content or site or whatever.

You can of course you some sort of brute force linking by visiting sites and leaving comments with a link back to your site. It doesn’t work very well. Or you could simply build a second site that links to your first. This second site will still need content. So why not just put the content on the first site?

We are at Cregy understand there are many factors to account for when considering seo. We talk with professionals as well as offering our own services. Talk to us about your needs and we will see how we can help.

3 column layout with fixed-width center and fluid-width side columns

This is not an “equal-height columns” layout. It is easily turned into one though.

No provision for IE6′ lack of support for ‘min-width’. See: min/max in IE for solution to that.

Creation: basic float layout based on negative margins.

Could you take a quick gander at this site please and help me understand why the white block has moved up into the header div please.

Only in IE/win :-)
Actually: the white block doesn’t really move up, but the header collapses because there’s only floats in it, so the white background on wrapper doesn’t get properly covered by the background on header.

Give IE/win a well-placed ‘hasLayout’ trigger…
#header {
height: 1%;
}

…and it will behave and paint backgrounds as intended.

Is there anyway I can show a gray semi-transparency over any elements with a certain class (”disabled”)?

.disabled {
background-color: #666;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-moz-opacity: 0.7;
opacity: 0.7;
filter: alpha(opacity=70);
}

The first rule provides opacity levels in Gecko based browsers (Camino, Firefox, SeaMonkey), the second to Safari (and Opera I think), and the third is an IE specific one, which I suspect is not valid code, but which works.

Currently designing and building a website for a local architect. Here are the proofs:

Francky - Search Form experiments with css

Results

Tested in FF2, IE6, Opera9 under WinXP:
valid html | valid css | IE-proof 1 hacky | font-scaling / zooming allowed | disabling (background) images allowed | disabling css allowed…

… but some work for accessibility still remaining;
see for instance TheManInBlue

I know there is a far better list at the css-d site (rounded corners) but I wanted to list some of the techniques I had found. So here goes:
Look at the source code
Nifty Corners: rounded corners without images (Uses CSS and JS).
In this article, we’ll show how customised borders and corners can be applied to fully fluid and flexible layouts with dynamic content, using sound and semantically logical mark-up.
“Bullet-Proof” Rounded Corners
Liquid rounded corners
Liquid corners playgarden

In order to make the actual corners you can try this:
To create rounded graphics in Photoshop first make a square or rectangle with the rectangular marquee tool. Before you fill it with a colour go to select>modify>smooth. Type in a number - usually between 4 and 12 is good. This essentially rounds the corners for you. Next, (or first) click on the colour palette square in the tools. Make a color you like. Fill your rounded marquee element with that colour.
CSS Rounded Box Generator (Beta)

And there we go. Onto less boxy and more rounded designs. So why is my site so boxy at the moment?
