    Which Android versions are worth supporting?

    That does not answer my question. Many Android devices are locked into specific versions unless you unlock them, and even then, the hardware might not be supported by newer versions of Android (think about trying to run Windows 10 on a Pentium 2). I happen to own a DroidX and using the...

    Do your websites validate?

    Does it matter to you if your web pages pass HTML or CSS validation? What sort of validation errors do you let slide? Sometimes CMS or other 3rd party plugins will generate invalid HTML that can't be helped, but what about stuff you've written?

    What have you built?

    I've built more web applications than I can remember and a few small libraries for my own personal use. Working with the web is just the right pace for me since I don't have to wait for programs to compile in order to test them.

    Using numbers on domain name

    As a touch typist, I find numbers to be a lot more effort to accurately type out than letters. I would rather type out "hundred" than "100", despite the later being shorter. Words are by far more memorable than numbers, have you ever tried memorizing a phone number from a radio or TV...

    How To Protect My Web Images?

    At the end of the day, there's nothing you can do to protect your images from being swiped (especially since the act of viewing the image in your browser requires being able to download it). I'm not suggesting that you not care about the thievery, but unless you're making money off of the...

    Which Android versions are worth supporting?

    A few years ago, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) was one of the most popular versions despite its age. Is that still the case? Is writing native apps that work on older versions a lot of extra work?

    Do you use GIMP?

    As someone who has been using Photoshop for over 15 years, I find Gimp to be virtually impossible to use. Some of the tools behave completely differently from what I expected. If I were to give Gimp an honest try, I'm sure I could make it work. However, the one thing I absolutely noticed is...

    Charge for Design Work!

    The only reasonable way to charge is to figure out how much you're worth per hour and multiply that by how many hours you think it will take to complete the project. If you're inexperienced at giving time estimates when writing up your quote, follow Scotty's advice and pad the hours. If it...

    Programming Tips for Beginners

    I wish I had known that PHP is a poor language that encourages terrible programming practices. The only thing good that can be said about: There is a pretty safe bet that virtually every webhost will have it available There's lots of of the shelf software written in it The documentation is...

    Please Review My Website

    For me, the biggest thing that I see here is that there is a lot of variation in your font-weight/font-size, but the differences are so subtle, that it looks like it is a mistake rather than on purpose. As a result, it is difficult to see the hierarchy of the content. Headlines need to...

    Has anyone ever had success with a design contest?

    Most professional designers do not participate in design contests (ie. "spec work" or "speculative work") for 2 main reasons: Only one person who participates will get paid, meaning everyone else is producing work for free The contest organizer is less likely to get what they're looking for...

    Which program do you use for web design?

    Creating mockups for web designs in Photoshop is going away in favor of doing HTML wireframes. However, Photoshop is still good for creating and preparing raster artwork (gif, png, jpg) for your design. With SVG rising in popularity, I use Inkscape for creating all of my vector assets since I...

    Will Java die in 5 years?

    Java is one of the most popular languages in the industry right now. There is no way it is going to die within the next 5 years. Moving to another language is just not practical for shops that already have a very large code base. While languages like Cobol are not widely used anymore...

    Hello!

    In case it isn't obvious from my post count, I'm new here. I've been doing web design as a hobby for a long time. While I don't know everything, I do know a lot of stuff!
