    Some personal insights about goal achievement

    MINDSET 
    A couple of days ago I decided to challenge myself to memorise (yep, that's how we spell it here in New Zealand) pi to 500 decimal places. If you don't know what pi is, go ask Google. Anyway, frivalous as this is, I thought I'd share a few insights about goal achievement that have occurred to...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    At the risk of flogging a dead horse I thought I'd pass on something I recently observed that might make learning to program seem not such a bad idea... The highest selling Wordpress theme on a well known theme marketplace website has sold over 146,000 copies at a (current) price of $58 per...

    What would you improve? Free website building service

    PEOPLE 
    I had a very quick look at your site & noticed the following: The site doesn't reflect what you intend to do for your clients (it uses the default WP theme & IMO is very plain & unpolished to look at). Neither your site or those in your testominials validate. Mousing-over your red button...

    Freelance Web Developer causing massive HEADACHE!!

    PEOPLE 
    Maybe you could politely tell them that they aren't performing as required by the terms of the contract and that you are considering pulling the plug in which case you will require a full refund (by legal means if necessary). Give them (eg) two weeks to fulfill their obligations or suffer the...

    Freelance Web Developer causing massive HEADACHE!!

    PEOPLE 
    As a website developer myself, I would be reluctant to attempt to work with another unknown developer's 1/2 completed work for several reasons. Just saying this as in your shoes I wouldn't be too hung up on recovering the code if you decide to fire the developer. Having said that, if you have...

    Perceived vs actual product quality?

    As some of you may know, I am a web app developer and am about 80% of the way through creating a website/blog/cms/e-commerce platform that will out-perform, out-feature and is much more flexible & easier to use than anything else I have seen (just some background so you know where I'm coming...

    How to design UI admin dashboard?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I find the way that is easiest for my users is to make the admin UI as close as possible to the front-end appearance and wherever possible allow content to be edited directly in the front end (ie when logged in as admin they can do edits on the page/post/etc they are viewing that are then saved...

    Do you feel uncomfortable charging more?

    MINDSET 
    Had an interesting chat relating to this the other day - I was talking to a prospective customer about creating a simple web app for a contracting business, we hadn't discussed cost but based on their needs I anticipated the job would take 2-3 hours to do & had a figure of a few hundred in mind...

    "Thinking about starting a business? Here is why you shouldn’t!"

    IMHO if your resolve is that fragile that an article like that makes you question your direction then you should probably take it to heart & give up now. Otherwise, take from it what you can & make use of it in a positive way.

    It's Been A Long Time Comming

    Hi Ryan A couple of things I noticed after a quick look at the home page of your site - the about us & contact us links point to the same page, the phone number in the footer is missing, there's nothing listed in the latest news column. The site also has a heap of validation errors but I guess...

    How does this work?

    Hi I can't speak for other systems but the way I store passwords is to encrypt the password chosen by the user when they create the account, encrypt a randomly generated string of numbers/letters (this is called salting), join the encrypted sequences together and encrypt that. The salt & the...

    Anyone use a service like this?

    MARKETING 
    Up to date content is key - I made a wordpress site for a rugby Union about 5 years ago & it is still consistently #1 on Google when searching for north otago (the province of the union) - don't even need the rugby keyword! There is no SEO on this site so you would have to question how important...

    Don't know about any others but I don't see these guys in the first page when Googling 'seo submission' or similar derivatives. For what it's worth, their (Wordpress) website uses a commercial SEO plugin available here for $69.

    Learn to market and write copy: Have an idea for an app. Tell the world about it by advertising for a developer. Watch helplessly as somebody steals your idea, creates a fantastic app & makes a mint from it. or spend months discussing your app with a developer who's native language isn't the...
