5 Worst Offenders That Drive Visitors Away From Your Website

You jumped on the digital bandwagon and created a website for your business and created a profile on every social platform known to man, yet your business is not attracting more customers. Does this scenario sound familiar? There’s a big chance that it’s not your brand that’s the problem, but the way you present it online. Your website could need a facelift.

“Visitors judge a website within a few seconds, and react based on elements such as the time it takes to load, the visual aspect and the ease of navigation,” says Nay Ayache, my company’s in-house WordPress expert. “An InspireMag article last year set that time limit to ten seconds, so everything has to be perfect.”

Take another look at your website and check if it has these five elements that drive audiences away.

1. Chaotic homepages

The homepage is the most important and most valuable piece of real estate on your website. A cluttered page will drive an audience away or confuse them. A website should be organized, with a clear focal point that allows the visitor to feel visually comfortable to explore all the pages. The navigation bar should be easy to find.

When it comes to pages, speed matters. Having a fast, responsive website that resizes to accommodate mobile devices helps visitors view not only the homepage, but the rest of the pages as well.

Worst offenders: Website sliders that rotate at lightning speed, do not have a header and animated GIFs that kill the visitor’s concentration.

2. Cryptic navigation

Ideally, the website navigation bar should be placed at the top of the page and always contain a link back to the homepage. The contents should be clearly represented in the menu, and pages should be titled in a way that speaks to visitors’ logic, not their imagination.

Worst offenders: Navigation bars with incoherent item hierarchy that leave primary pages hidden in sub-menus, broken links and a hard-to-find contact page.

3. Elusive social media buttons

Burying your social media buttons on the site makes them hard to find. A brand that prides itself on being social should make it obvious to its audience. Engage your audience by making sure that every page on the website contains a link to social platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, etc). Remember, these social media links are visually different from post-sharing buttons.

Worst offenders: Websites where social media buttons are buried in the footer or the contact page, broken buttons that do not link to the proper page, and links to one social platform when the brand is active on several others.

4. No calls-to-action

Visitors are flocking to your website, and yet, your bounce rate — the percentage of people who leave the site after visiting only one page — is high. Why aren’t visitors going beyond glancing at your homepage? Are you sure your visitors know what to do? Guide your audience with calls to action and simple instructions such as “call us,” “click here” or “subscribe to our newsletter.” As a brand, you want people to know how to make the best out of your website and, ultimately, your services.

Worst offenders: Content made of aimless descriptions instead of reflecting a clear marketing strategy, wording that makes assumptions as to visitors’ concentration levels, and links that generously lead them to other websites.

5. Unoriginal photos

A website solely filled with stock photography does not reflect the individuality of the brand. Authenticity goes a long a way with potential customers, so invest in professional photos or shoot your own personal photos to tell your brand’s story. In a digital world where users are given endless options, the key to engagement and return on investment is to offer a unique value proposition in form as well as content.

Worst offenders: Websites that use rehashed icons from the ’90s, ubiquitous handshake pictures and the 20-year-old CEO in a conference room.

If you have one or more of these offenders on your website, you could be inadvertently driving your audience away. Let us know about your pet peeves with the websites you visit in the comments section below.

 

5 Things You Can Learn From a Poorly Designed Website

My son has just started middle school, and along with becoming oriented to an unfamiliar school environment, he now has “homework like never before,” and it is not just the amount of homework.

His teachers no longer send home printed homework sheets. Students are expected to visit the teachers’ individual websites to download assignments, study guides, and watch lectures. And while going online is not normally a problem for technophile middle schoolers, it becomes a problem when the websites are poorly designed.

Visitors come to a website to satisfy goals, to perform tasks, and to get answers to questions. If users cannot find what they’re looking for on a website, they will go elsewhere. But my son can’t go elsewhere. He has no choice but to muddle through the unclear navigation and bad design to find what he needs. It is maddening.

Still, you can learn a lot from being forced to use a poorly designed website, including ways to improve your own or a client’s.

  1. Do everything you can to reduce the number of clicks.

From the “Sixth grade homework” page, where he was told all assignments would be linked, he has to click through three pages to reach the math assignments. Those math assignments should be directly linked from the main page. When navigating, site users don’t want to stop and read along the way. They want to keep moving until they find the right link.

  1. Make the links meaningful.

Links should be descriptive. Don’t tell readers to “Read more,” “click here,” or “more.” Tell them what they will read if they click. “Math homework October 6-10” is an example of a descriptive link.

  1. Make copy easy to scan with subheads and bullets.

Lists make information easy to grab and help people skim through the information. If possible, keep lists short. But if your list must be long, use white space to break it up.

  1. Heading content should be concise and descriptive.

It should stand out from the rest of the text. Well-written headings facilitate scanning so users can find exactly what they need. They can also make the information less dense and more readable, allowing users to get a quick overview of the page.

  1. Keep in mind that less is often more on the Web.

Eliminate distracting site features such as flash animation or scrolling text. Use animation where it helps, not just for show.

 

 

Two domain name conferences in China this summer

Events in Hangzhou and Wuzhen in June and July.

There will be at least two domain name conferences in China this summer.

First up is the 2016 Global Domains Industry Summit, co-organized by Verisign, Bizcn.com and 22.cn, and managed by Jinyuming. This conference will be held in Hangzhou, China, June 3-6.

The next month, Yumi.com will host the World Domain Conference from July 6-9 in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province. This conference used to be called Traffic China, but it has no relationship to Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu’s old show.

Somewhat humorously, both conferences list a bunch of well-known people with their pictures, but label them as merely invited, not confirmed.

For example, Traffic.cn shows Bob Parsons, erroneously listed as CEO of GoDaddy. It also shows Frank Schilling, hailing from…England?

These conferences seem like good opportunities to meet face-to-face with Chinese domain name investors and better understand the Chinese domain name market.

CHANGING WEB HOSTING SERVICE PROVIDERS

There are many reasons why individuals or companies want to change to a new web hosting company. It could be as simple as not enough storage space or bandwidth, or it could be due to its customer service, or lack thereof.

Easier said than done? Changing to a new web hosting company may sound like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be that complex – there are just a few things to keep in mind.

  1. Keep your web hosting account with your existing host open

It is recommend that you keep your existing web hosting account active until you have completed the transition steps (ie. new account setup, file transfer, email creation and setup, DNS modification and propagation).This will ensure that your website and domain email accounts will be running during the transition.

  1. Choose a suitable new web hosting provider

Considerations include:

  1. a) Type of OS (Windows vs. Linux) – it depends on the technologies your website requires. For example, if your website requires ASP, MSSQL, MSACCESS or other Microsoft-specific technologies, then you will need to find a Windows-platform web hosting plan.
  2. b) Bandwidth and disk space requirements.
  3. Make a backup copy of your existing website: download old account files

Ideally, files should be downloaded in the same tree structure in which you want to upload it later. Also look for any file or chmod permissions that you might to set on any folder or file. This is a fairly easy task and can easily be accomplished by FTP.

However, some free web hosting providers do not offer FTP access. This is especially true if you’re currently using a free Flash/drag-and-drop website creation service (ie. Weebly.com, WIX.com).

If this is the case, you will not be able to download your existing web files and will have to re-create your new web files. You should check to see if your new web hosting provider offers a free website creator.

To avoid running into the same problem in the future, make sure your new web hosting provider offers FTP access.

  1. Setup new (same) email addresses

To ensure that emails are properly received, it is important to keep the same email addresses, including email aliases and forwarders.

  1. DNS changes and propagation

Once you have uploaded your web files to the new web hosting server and re-created your email accounts, you can go ahead and make the necessary domain name server (DNS) changes.

DNS is usually obtained once you have signed up with the new web hosting provider. You will need to replace your existing DNS settings with the new one – this is usually done via your domain management panel (your domain registrar).

The new DNS will take anywhere between 24-48 hours to propagate, therefore the old web host is responsible for website and email in the meantime. This is why cancelling the old service should be the very last thing to do.

  1. Cancel your old account.

Once your new account has been activated and your website and email services at your new web hosting provider are up and running, you can proceed to have your old account cancelled.

WHAT TYPE OF HOSTING DO YOU NEED?

There are many web hosting options available nowadays: free web hosting, shared hosting, dedicated server, and the list goes on. All these options serve the same purpose, which is hosting your content so that it can be accessed and viewed by people on the Internet. The major difference is how each is structured as well as the benefits they offer.

Let’s have a closer look at each of them.

FREE WEB HOSTING

What can be better than a free web hosting plan? This is a great option for someone who wants to create a homepage or small website to share with friends and family. While free web hosting has received criticism for its lack of features, security and customer support, there are a few reliable free web hosting providers that you can trust. However, keep in mind that free web hosting is more geared for giving you a taste of having and maintaining a small, personal website. If you want to establish a powerful web presence with an online business, you will need to consider a paid hosting service that offers more control, security and reliability.

SHARED HOSTING

As the name implies, shared hosting is an environment where you are sharing space on a web server with other users. As clients are sharing the cost of the server, this is the most affordable and popular solution for personal users and small businesses as companies to set up blog, e-commerce and other advanced applications. However, when hosting on a shared server, you are exposed to all the activities of your neighbors. If someone makes a huge scripting error, the entire server can suffer. If someone experiences a sudden burst in traffic, your site might run slower. If the server goes down, so does your website and ultimately, your business.

DEDICATED HOSTING

When your business takes off and requires more than the typical sharing server resources, it’s time to move up to the dedicated server. Now you’re in the big leagues with an entire server dedicated to your hosting needs. However, without any experience, succeeding with this hosting option is nearly impossible – those who require a dedicated server but don’t know a thing about server administration can get by with managed hosting. In this scenario, the hosting service provider handles all the management tasks which frees you up to focus on other areas of the business. Keep in mind that a managed service requires is generally more costly.

WHAT IS THE BEST HOSTING FOR YOU?

The best advice we can give about hosting is to know what you’re getting into. Free services are geared for personal sites, shared hosting is suited for small businesses and a dedicated server is designed for larger hosting needs, yet is far more expensive. By knowing what your site requires, it will be much easier to determine which is the best solution.

BASIC FEATURES OF FREE WEB HOSTING

Looking for a free web hosting solution is an imperative decision. Try to identify a reliable web host can be a daunting task especially with so many service providers and options available nowadays. Throw in the feature sheets and promises, the task can be that much more intimidating.

But it doesn’t have to be. Let’s take a look at some of the most common features a good free web hosting provider should offer:

DISK SPACE AND BANDWIDTH

Disk space refers to the amount of storage space assigned to you by the free web hosting provider. This space will be used to store your web site files, including text, images, audio, etc. files you use for your website.

Bandwidth refers to the amount of traffic that is allowed to access and leave your website. Access means every time a visitor types in your website name in their browser. Leave means every time a visitor receives something from your website, whether it be viewing a photo, listening to an audio clip or downloading a file.

For example, if your website has a lot of graphics (ie. photographs) then you will require higher storage and greater bandwidth.

WEBSITE CREATOR AND FTP

If this is your first website and you have limited or no scripting experience, then look for a free web hosting provider that offers a free website creating application where you can create your website simply by choosing a template and adding in your own text and images.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is the protocol for transferring your website files from your computer to your free web hosting server, or vice versa. This allows you to upload your finished website files (including images and other multimedia files) from your computer to your service provider’s server. It also allows you to download your files from your web hosting server back to your computer. A good free web hosting provider should offer 24/7 unrestricted FTP access.

EMAIL

Yes, your free web hosting provider should provide you with email services – so that you can setup @yourdomain.com email accounts. In addition to a webmail interface (so you can login and manage your emails using your web browser), the email service should also include POP3 and SMTP access so you can setup and access your @yourdomain.com emails using your mobile devices.

SUPPORT AND UPTIME

You should always choose a free web hosting service with free, reliable telephone and email support.

While no host can offer a 100% guaranteed uptime (think problems out of their control, ie. city power outage), they should provide “just-in-case” measures to limit website and email downtime to a minimal. These measures may include 24/7 server and network monitoring, redundant hardware and network configurations, and onsite backup power supply. While you might not completely understand the technicalities of these, look to see if your free web hosting provider has these listed somewhere on their website. If not, ask them about it.

PRICING

If you’re looking for a free web hosting provider, then you should expect to pay absolutely nothing for all the basic features listed above. You shoudn’t have to compromise pricing with banner ads. Any free web hosting providers that forces ads on your website is a no-no.

7. Resource Usage

User May Not:

  • Use 25% or more the of system resources for longer than 1 minute & 30 seconds. There are various activities that could cause problems; these include: PHP, HTTP, CGI scripts, FTP etc.
  • Run unattended server-side movements at any point in time on the server. This consists any and all daemons, such as IRCD. Run any type of indexer (including Google Cash / Ad Spy) or web spider or on shared servers.
  • Run any application that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
  • Run any bit torrent software, tracker, or client. However you may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not store or host them on our shared servers.
  • Participate in any peer-to-peer/file-sharing activities
  • Run any gaming servers like half-life, counter-strike etc.
  • Run cron entries with pauses of less than 15 minutes.
  • Run any queries of MySQL longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be arranged relevantly.
  • When using PHP include processes for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. use this (“include.php”) Instead of using this include(“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”)
  • To reduce the usage, don’t force html to handle server-side code (like shtml and php).
  • Only use https protocol when required; decrypting and encrypting communications is notable more CPU-intensive than unencrypted information systems.

INODES
Using more than 250,000 inodes on any shared account may positively result in a warning first, and if no action is taken, there will be a future suspension. Accounts found overtaking the 100,000 inode limit will automatically be terminated from our backup system to avoid over-usage; however there will still be a back up. Files like a webpage, image file, email, etc on your account uses up 1 inode.

Sites that somewhat exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be terminated; however, accounts that regularly create and delete huge numbers of files on a constant basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be marked for review and/or suspension. The main cause of extra inodes seems to be because of users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their main account mailbox. Over the time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, finally pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to your cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, and “Set Default Address”, and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

Backup Limit
Any shared account using more than disk space of 5 GBs will be removed from our off site weekly backup with the exclusion of Databases continuing to be backed up. We will continue mirroring all data to a secondary drive which helps protect against information loss in the event of a drive failure.

8. Bandwidth Usage

You are provided a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance depends on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we have the right to termination the account until the beginning of next allocation, terminate the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an extra fee, terminate the account until you upgrade to a higher area of package, cancel the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month will not be carried over to the next month.

9.  Money back Guarantee

We do have the right to refund a prorated amount or no refund at all. Webdesignervip.com will not create new orders or activate new packages for customers who have a previous balance with webdesigner.com. For a new package to be activated or order to be setup, you must have a balance of $0.00, unless otherwise stated by webdesignervip.com in written.

10. Uptime Guarantee

If your reseller/shared server have a physical kind of downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you can have 30 days of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of webdesignervip.com dependent upon justification given. The third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to many of factors including the monitor’s network transit/capacity availability. The uptime of the server is decided as the reported uptime from the OS and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other lone services. For a credit request, you can contact support team to create a support ticket to our Billing department with approval. These uptime guarantees only apply to reseller/shared solutions. Dedicated servers are safe by a network guarantee in which the credit is distributed for the amount of time the server is not working which is not related to our uptime guarantee.

11. Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semidedicated Servers

Non-reseller/shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people; you must use a reseller account, if you wish to resell hosting. Semi-dedicated servers are not actually backed up. You have to maintain your own backups.

12. VPS / Dedicated Servers

Webdesignervip.com reserves the right to change the password on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current so that we may perform security audits as necessary by our datacenter. It is the sole duty of client to ensure that there is a correct email address and current root password on file for their dedicated server on file to avoid downtime from forced password resets. Webdesignervip.com also reserves the right to audit servers as required and to perform managerial actions at the request of our datacenter. We do NOT back up dedicated servers and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or to provide a solution for this. Maintaining backups is your responsibility.

How To Streamline Creative Dialogue

In the beginning of my professional career, I often struggled with status meetings. They regularly turned into back-and-forth conversation with a client who was making weird design suggestions. I often left these meetings feeling very confused, uncertain and demotivated after weeks of passionate effort.

Designing For The Elderly: Ways Older People Use Digital Technology Differently

If you work in the tech industry, it’s easy to forget that older people exist. Most tech workers are really young, so it’s easy to see why most technology is designed for young people. But consider this: By 2030, around 19% of people in the US will be over 65. Doesn’t sound like a lot? Well it happens to be about the same number of people in the US who own an iPhone today. Which of these two groups do you think Silicon Valley spends more time thinking about?

This seems unfortunate when you consider all of the things technology has to offer older people. A great example is Speaking Exchange, an initiative that connects retirees in the US with kids who are learning English in Brazil.

Big companies are always trying to simplify the support and development of their large product portfolios. Mail.Ru Group (one of the two largest Internet companies in Russia, with more than 100 million monthly users), has about 40 products — even more if you add mobile and tablet websites and apps, promo websites, etc. My team deals with almost half of them — that’s about 100 ongoing projects at different stages. Our goal is to update these products and unify them around several guidelines.

Redefining Lazy Loading With Lazy Load XT

By Denis Ryabov & Ugur Kaner

12 Comments

Lazy loading is a common software design pattern that defers the initialization of objects until they are needed. Lazy loading images started to become popular on the web back in 2007, when Mika Tuupola drew inspiration from the YUI ImageLoader utility and released a jQuery plugin. Since then, it’s become a popular technique to optimize page loading and the user experience. In this article I will discuss why we should and shouldn’t use Lazy Load, and how to implement it.
Redefining Lazy Loading With Lazy Load XT

Images make up over 60% of an average page’s size, according to HTTP Archive. Images on a web page would be rendered once they are available. Without lazy loading, this could lead to a lot of data traffic that is not immediately necessary (such as images outside of the viewport) and longer waiting times. The problem? Visitors are not patient at all. By lazy loading, images outside of the viewport are loaded only when they would be visible to the user, thus saving valuable data and time.

So you find yourself somewhere in a little tourist station in Northern Sweden — with a few adventurous tourists, 86 surprisingly happy inhabitants, and a remarkably good Internet connection. There is nothing but breathtaking nature around you, with blueish mountains and bright red skyline blurring endless horizon — and Northern Lights dancing in the sky right above you. What do you do? Obviously, you come up with an idea for those sneaky ‘lil Smashing Mystery riddles.

How to make your code easily maintainable with living style guides

featured11@wdd2x

Style guides of yesteryear are typically thought of as design-oriented documents focusing on branding and color usage. But with the advent of insanely large codebases for websites like Facebook or Google’s vast array of products, style guides have since evolved.

These days, living style guides contain always up to date documentation of the current code base and its use cases. With these documents we can write much more maintainable and reusable code while seeing instantly how optimized our code base is.

What’s in a living style guide?

Living style guides are similar to the older counterparts; they contain logo and branding information, color usage, as well as a general outline of code usage. The code outline section is where you can easily find duplicate or closely similar code and combine it to optimize your codebase, or view components already in use. Most guides either showcase a “log” style approach where every code instance is documented, or only the intentionally modular code is documented.

Not only do these guides focus on HTML and CSS, but also other languages that can be modularized for performance like JavaScript and PHP. A few solid examples of living style guides can be found at Github, Mozilla, and MailChimp. As you can see from those examples, it’s common to have either a page or sub-site to display use-cases side by side with the code for each component. This makes it easy to go and grab them when you need them, and for unfamiliar designers or developers to see how components work in an interactive fashion.

Starting your own living style guide

Beginning your own living style guide documentation from scratch may seem daunting, especially for larger projects. But typically there is a return on the investment of time required to get it done. Larger projects benefit immensely from a living documentation of site styles and code structure. Smaller projects have a less noticeable, but sometimes still worthwhile, return on your time investment. In either case, if you’re working on a project that may someday be handed off to another designer or developer it’ll make their day to see such documentation.

Start with the foundation

Components you use frequently are the best use-case for a living style guide, buttons come to mind immediately. A short list of things you may want to consider documenting are layout options (possibly outlining a grid system), typography, color usage, buttons and link styles, form styling, notifications or alerts, and list styling. Just about anything that may benefit from being reusable could be added essentially. When outlining, remember to keep things flexible. Never style an alert or button specific to one page or use-case, unless absolutely necessary. Instead, add modifier classes to build on the basic foundation for things like color, typography, or aesthetic changes. This way, you can always count on the .button class to designate a consistent width, height, and text size while allowing the modifier classes to change things particular to each use-case.

The goals of maintainable code

The purpose of maintainable code is to make things reusable and future-proof. Components such as notification bars, buttons, headers, and footers, are great examples of reusable code – Things you may use multiple times across the site, or on the same page. If you’re breaking old or already written code down to make it more maintainable after the fact, it’s actually pretty simple. Start by stripping away the CSS down to the basics. You should be left with a component class defining structural things like height, width, and position. While additional modifier classes can be used to change aesthetic things like color or typography. Additionally, if your project is using a body ID or class for each page, you can style unique use-cases on a per-page basis this way. Be sure not to resort to this practice too much though, as it can easily add weight to your style guide.

The KISS Principle is a design principle well suited for the modular development process as well. Writing simple, maintainable code is usually easiest by keeping your components simple. When it comes to simplicity, If it’s possible to make things more efficient and/or use less code while achieving the same result, our components should be written to do so. The end goals of a maintainable code structure is to have something reusable, small, and vastly more efficient than a non-maintainable counterpart.

Naming conventions in CSS

When it comes to working with a maintainable code structure, naming conventions become very important. Writing descriptive CSS classes will go a long way to ensure maintaining your code base will be an easy task. There is no limit on CSS class lengths, so use this to your advantage. Make sure to stick to a clear naming convention though, as mixing dashes vs underscores or camel case vs all lowercase names can easily get confusing. It’s usually a great idea to make your component classes very descriptive, while making the modifier classes less so. Below is an example of a button, a unique use-case rule, and modifier classes.

<a href=“www.webdesignerdepot.com” class=“button red roundedWebdesigner Depot</a

/* This is a component class, it should only contain basic structural rules */
.button {
display: block;
width: 250px;
height: 48px;
line-height: 48px;}

/* This unique use-case outlines a button used on the homepage */
.homepage-cta-button {
display: block
margin: 0 auto 50px;
width: 180px;
height: 60px;
line-height: 60px;}

/* Below are modifier classes, these are added in addition to the component class to add color or other aesthetic changes */
.red {background: #C54F48}
.rounded {border-radius: 5px;}

Automated solutions

Automated style guide generators have started popping up left and right to help the push for style guides. Style Prototype is a SASS generator built by Ram Richard and Mason Wendell of Team SASS. It’s one of the better options out there at the moment, with similar generators like Hologram, Kalei, StyleDocco, and KSS also proving useful.

Automated vs hand-crafted

As always, there are pros and cons to using either method here. Automated solutions are quick and can be used after the fact, but they’re also sometimes strict. Hand-crafted style guides leave you knowing the ins and outs of everything, but take more time. Personally, the hand-crafted approach is best for me in most cases as it’s the most flexible in terms of working with other developers. But it’s certainly worth the time to try out some of the automated solutions, just to get an idea of how they work and what they say about your code.

Reviewing your code

Websites are never finished. We modify things, transition to new styles and trends, and in the end we can end up with a lot of code from past revisions. It’s important to take a moment and look back at the “end” of each revision to make sure things are as clean as they can be. At this point, I also like to throw each component (and modifier classes) in a Codepen to test browser support and make notes accordingly. This could save tons of time later if you’re designing a page with support constraints. While reviewing, also be sure to keep an eye out for components that may conflict with each other in odd ways or cause box-model problems.

Conclusion

In conclusion, style guides should result in code that is very manipulative and flexible, yet still easy to maintain and read. Considering how much time we must invest to reach such a result, living style guides have a much more quantifiable affect on larger projects than smaller ones. Complex or large projects benefit so much from all the optimization and performance increases that it’s well worth the time spent to reach said results. Creating a living style guide for a small website or project may not prove worthy of the time investment though.

In conclusion, we should all strive to write clean, maintainable code that focuses on future-proofing. Living style guides tend to encourage such a workflow and aide in making developers and viewers alike much happier.

Everything you need to know about WordPress

Website Design

WordPress 4.0 is now available, and millions of sites worldwide are in the process of upgrading. Despite the fact that WordPress themselves have talked down the significance of the .0 version number, WordPress 4.0 may be the most significant update in years.

There have been changes to the UI, enhancements to the writing experience, and some intriguing additions that hint at what’s to come in the future.

Announced in April, the 4.0 beta version was released on July 10th. Three further beta versions followed over the next month, fixing some of the bugs that inevitably creep in when you’re making this many revisions. Finally, the first release candidate crept out at the end of August, exactly on schedule, and the final release was packaged and pushed out at the end of last week.

WordPress maintains a fairly punishing release schedule, pushing out a new version every few months. Which means they’ve plenty of experience of estimating timescales and hitting deadlines. However, you have to think that the precision of scheduling in this case is a strong indicator of a smooth development cycle with few surprises along the way.

Writing experience

The first thing you’ll notice when you fire up WordPress 4.0 is the vastly improved writing experience.

Actually writing in WordPress isn’t that common, most people write in their chosen format and then export to WordPress, but the improvements that have been made might tempt a few users back. The dashboard now has a sticky header and footer, so you don’t need to scroll up or down to reach formatting options or check your word count. It’s a small thing, but it really helps the overall experience. Whether or not it’s enough to tempt me away from markdown, I’m not sure, but it’s certainly a welcome addition and anyone who uses WordPress like it’s a word processor will enjoy the performance boost.

Media management

Users who share a lot of media will be happy too, with the brand new media embedding feature.

Up until now YouTube videos, Tweets, and so forth, would be embedded as code and then the post would have to be previewed in order to check the results. Now, simply embed in theEdit Post panel and the media you’re embedding will appear right there.

media

Media management is also substantially improved in WordPress 4.0. Browse the Media Library and you’ll see an improved grid of endlessly scrolling thumbnails. You can also click a thumbnail to view a detailed shot and move through the uploaded media one item at a time. If you’ve uploaded a video, you can also watch it here, right in the dashboard.

Global installation

In my opinion, the most significant addition, is the option to select a language for installation. Up until now, the installation steps have only been available in US-English.

This isn’t something that everyone will notice — especially not those who are updating an existing site — however the addition of numerous other languages lowers the barrier of entry for non-English speakers. That means WordPress’ userbase will increase globally, and that’s hugely significant for anyone who makes a living out of WordPress.

Plugin discovery

One of the most appealing revisions in WordPress 4.0 is the brand new way of browsing plugins, it’s the first major update in this area in five years.

The old way of browsing plugins in the dashboard meant that unless you knew the name of the plugin you were looking for, you were very unlikely to find anything worth installing. The latest version maintains the old search option, but there are a number of additions designed to help you find lesser known solutions.

Plugins can now be filtered by Featured, Popular, Newest, and Favourites. In addition, reviews can now be read right in the dashboard.

The consequence of all this is likely to be an increased diversity in the plugins being used across the community. The emphasis is no longer on the established plugin developers. If you’re new to developing plugins, or even if you’ve unsuccessful building a following up until now, you have a much better chance of picking up new users.

plugins

Customizer

The final area that’s worth mentioning is the Theme Customizer, or — because WordPress are keen on making this change — simply Customizer. (The name change has taken place because it isn’t necessarily used to customize themes.)

Whilst little has happened to this area in this release there has been major work in prepping it for improvements in future releases, and the name change is just one aspect that hints at the direction WordPress is heading. WordPress’ development team have stated that we can expect changes and enhancements to how we access Customizer in the next, and upcoming releases. For now, the work that has been carried out on Customizer is designed to prep the feature for those changes.

One thing that has been made public in the 4.0 version of Customizer is the newly introduced grouping for Customizer elements, that allows theme and plugin developers to improve the UI of their products by grouping related elements together. It’s all done with thePanels API, and widget areas have already been grouped together into a Widget panel in this way. Panels are used to group sections together in the same way that sections group controls together.

The idea is greater control, and simpler, easier to understand UIs for any themes or plugins that use the Customizer. Fortunately, the Panels API works almost identically to the pre-existing Section API, which means those of us that are already making use of the Customizer have a relatively low learning curve to update our themes. In addition there are now far more input types supported in Customizer, and all Customizer controls can be contextual, based on the current preview.

Customizer’s API will make building truly customizable WP themes possible for the first time.

Conclusion

WordPress 4.0 is a rare beast in that it offers something for everyone: content authors get a better writing experience; and developers get a more advanced UI, and a greater chance for their products to be discovered and utilized by the substantial WordPress community.

What’s most exciting in WP 4.0 is that WordPress is being prepped for major upgrades in future. The team is focussed on expanding the userbase, improving the experience, and further embracing the community. 4.0 is a release that anyone that works with WordPress can get excited about.

Bootstrap Tutorials For Web Designers

The 10 Most Useful Bootstrap Tutorials For Web Designers (2014)

When i first got into web development, the one thing that always used to stump me was just how much information was out there in the way of tutorials. There seemed to be an endless choice of places to learn. But with all these options, there was a tradeoff. The paradox of choice. Because i had so many places that i ‘could’ learn, and because my time was limited, i had a lot of trouble deciding where i ‘should’ learn.

This post is the one i wish i had when i first started to learn about the uber useful html/css framework twitter bootstrap. Had i had a list like this, i reckon i could’ve cut down my learning time dramatically and got to where i wanted to go much faster.

So here it is, the 10 most useful Bootstrap Tutorials For Web Designers (2014) – enjoy!

11 Reasons to Use Twitter Bootstrap – SitePoint

Why it’s useful:

Before you really dig in to any new technology, it’s always helpful to gain an insight into WHY you should learn it in the first place and what the possible benefits could be, some that you may not even have realised. This article does a very good job of breaking down the key benefits that bootstrap has to offer. It also taught me a few things that i wasn’t aware of! And i’ve been using Bootstrap for a while now!

Screen Shot 2014-07-03 at 21.38.22


Getting started with Bootstrap 3 – Extreme CSS

Why it’s useful:

Once you’ve made the commitment to learning Bootstrap, this tutorial serves as the perfect starting point. I like it personally because it is low on assumption and very beginner friendly. Unlike a lot of programmer oriented tutorials out there, this is great for a ‘not so code savvy web designer’ to get their feet wet with.


Build A Responsive Bootstrap 3 Site (Tutorial Series) – Youtube

Why it’s useful:

I find that the best way to take in new tech, is to read, see it demonstrated and then read again. For me this has been the most effective way to make the new information sink in. Watching a video tutorial really increases the reference points that you have for a topic very quickly, and for that purpose this particular tutorial is the best one i’ve found (for free) online.


Why it’s useful:

Bootstrap 3, unlike previous versions has embraced a mobile first approach to its functionality – which means that responsiveness is no longer a ‘should’ but a must. This is the perfect tutorial to help you get your head around the responsive, mobile first approach to web design that Bootstrap 3 takes. It is also pretty well written and very easy to follow. Helped me brush on my responsive/mobile first understanding.


A Comprehensive Introduction to LESS – SitePoint

Why it’s useful:

Less extends CSS and adds a lot of programmatic power to it by allowing you to create more modular styles. Using it (once you get a hang of it) can speed up your development workflow quite dramatically in a short period of time. This tut really does what it says on the tin in that regard. It breaks down the key concepts in a simple format, that makes sure you don’t get lost trying to reimagine how css should be written, like i did initially :).


Twitter Bootstrap 3 – JavaScript Components – SitePoint

Why it’s useful:

Twitter Bootstrap is essentially a combination of 3 things – HTML, CSS and JS. What rarely gets talked about in beginner tutorials for bootstrap online is the JS side of the equation. Despite the fact that this is probably the most powerful part of the entire framework! :) – this tutorial provided by Sitepoint breaks it all down and outlines the key javascript components that are essential to almost any bootstrap project.


Bootstrap 3 Less Workflow Tutorial – Hello Erik

Why it’s useful:

Once you’ve gotten a handle on LESS – as mentioned above, its primary benefit is that it offers a fairly dramatic productivity boost. But before you can really get into that groove, you’ll need to get a hang of a good workflow for it. This tutorial provides that in a very very comprehensive but simple way.


Up and Running with Bootstrap 3 – Lynda

Why it’s useful:

It’s not free, which is why i recommeded it towards the end but this is how i personally first got my feet wet with twitter bootstrap. So had to add it into the mix! It is honestly the best paid or free bootstrap primer/tutorial online, hands down. Very clear, succint and just plain perfect for a noob. Like i was before i watched it. ;)


Bootstrap 3 Grid Introduction – helloerik

Why it’s useful:

As a web designer, you’re probably fairly familiar with the Grid system. What makes Bootstrap as useful as it is is that it has implemented this concept in a programmatic way that almost anyone can understand. It does take a while to learn the syntax but coming from a design background, once you do that, you’ll fall in love with the Bootstrap way of displaying page layout. And this tutorial is the shortest way to get to that level of understanding.


What’s New in Bootstrap 3 – SitePoint

Why it’s useful:

I thought it’d be best to save this one for last. As it only really becomes helpful once you start to really dig in to Bootstrap. Seeing where it’s been and what its doing now will give you a broader view of where it might be going in the future and how and what you should stay on top of, should you want to keep up with it. This article gives a full breakdown of the new features in Bootstrap 3!

Content Management

The Content Management System (CMS) is a ServiceNow application that primarily enables users to create a custom interface for the ServiceNow platform and ServiceNow applications. The CMS application is powerful and flexible, so customers have used it for a wide variety of projects from creating entire websites to integrating with other products. The Content Management application is active by default.

A CMS typically requires a systems administrator or a web developer to set up and add features, but non-technical users can use the application as a website maintenance tool to make changes to a website. For more information, see CMS Planning.

Timing is important when considering the addition of content management. Successful deployments of the content management system usually take place after phase one processes (for example, Incident, Problem, Change, Catalog, and Knowledge) are in place. This is especially true if the team has limited website design experience. Waiting until phase two of deployment gives administrators time to work in ServiceNow and to understand how the organization uses the system and what business needs it meets.

Also consider the maturity level of data in the ServiceNow system. Depending on the ITIL processes used, content management will only be useful and effective once the data within ServiceNow is established. Ensure that hierarchies, tasks, and workflows are well defined. For example, before creating a catalog front end, confirm that the service catalog has been in place for some time, has been used, and contains data. The same is true for a knowledge management front end, particularly when high ratings or view counts define article placement on the page.

Following are several CMS project ideas:

  • Design a company-wide service catalog that offers a collection of services.
  • Present a customized UI for a knowledge base.
  • Create customized login pages or search pages, as well as personalized views of lists, tables, charts, or graphs.
  • Design a complete website.
  • Integrate ServiceNow with other company applications.
  • Build a tailored self-service portal for end users that is in compliance with a corporate style guide.

An estimated February survey of social media websites shows that 35% of facebook users are aged in between 18 and 25 years. An estimated 53.5 billion minutes are spent on facebook per month, which is the highest ever recorded in the history. Yahoo comes next with 17.2 billion minutes per month. With the immense power of social media networking websites, it is no wonder to quickly grab the slice of market share by creating high quality landing pages and business profiles on facebook, LinkedIn, and Yahoo, etc.

If Facebook were to be a country, it would be the 2nd largest in the world, having immense power on social media marketing strategies.
