i’m a high school senior and i need help on what i want to be?

Well, when I was younger I wanted to be famous, an actress/singer. Now, I don’t think that’s for me. For the last year, I’ve been so interested in web page design. Now, I think I don’t want to be sitting down in front of a computer. My favorite subject is English. I really dislike math. I want to travel and work with successful people. Right now, I’m stuck. Should I go to CDIA at BU and get wed design certificate, and do that for a while, and then go to a 4 yr. college to do something else… I mean I am really into design. I am really creative. Maybe I can major in advertising and business management? Ugh! I don’t know!!! I think maybe becoming a copywriter would be good, it seems cool… and it also involves ceativity. If not, how about starting off as a freelance web designer and then start my own small business… AAAGHH HELP PLEASE!

I always knew exactly what I wanted to be, until I was in college. Then I changed my mind. Then I started one career and left after 4 years and went back to school to start over.

My point is that you are still so young that you have time to explore different options. Dont commit yourself to one track. Chances are you will switch careers at least once during your adult life.

Go to school. Take a bunch of general courses for a few years. Dont worry about a major. AFter you take some courses and meet new people and get a little older you’ll have a better idea of where you want to go with yor life.

And remember, nothing is ever permanent.

I wish you the best!!!

India a Good Choice for Custom Ecommerce Web Site Design

There was a time when staid, information oriented websites were enough to generate business. Having an online identity in the form of a website was all it took to gather fans, followers and customers. But simplicity on the net has long ceased to be a virtue. The rapid advancement of technology, integration and digitalization has resulted in the number of websites on the net in increasing by the day. Now that a ten year old can design a website, one can no long expect to attract business just by having a website. What one needs now is a website that’s exceptional in every sense of the word.

Factors for effective web design

Design and layout of a website is hugely responsible for its success. Custom web site design in India looks into each an every angle of a website, including the navigational system, color scheme, text size, text type, font color and font size.

Loading time of a website is beyond doubt crucial at holding the attention of audience. While flash banners look attractive they tend to load slowly. If you wish to incorporate flash based ecommerce web site design from India, better picture this before you decide for it. If your targets are living in the suburbs where a lot of people are still using old fashioned modem-based slow internet connections, you will end up losing a lot of customers.

However, a site that targets a specific niche, like gamers, gadget or car enthusiasts can’t do without a good amount of zing, which can be effectively provided only through flash.

A professional custom web site design company in India always looks at these points before working on an ecommerce website design. Before working on an ecommerce website design, web designers shortlist a number of design methodologies like extreme programming, agile development, model view controller and rational unified process before coming to a final executable plan.

So for those who are looking to enter the online business with a bang (a new website) or re-fuse an old bomb (re-designing an old website), look at custom ecommerce web site design India!

Choosing Web Design Software

When it comes to choosing web design software, there are many different options.  To choose which web design software package is best for you, you should consider the different features that the software comes with.  Following is a list of different features that you may want to look for when you choose a software package to design your website.

WYSIWYG

“What You See is What You Get” web design software allows you to visually design your website and have the program generate the HTML code for you.  This feature is especially important for designers who are not familiar with HTML and CSS.  If you decide to use this type of web design software, it is important that it allows you to view and directly edit the HTML.  Even if you’re not HTML literate now, you may be in the future, and being able to directly edit the code gives you added versatility.

Templates

Many web design software packages include templates that you can build your website around.  Some of these web design software programs such as XSitePro offer hundreds of different professional-level templates.  By using templates that have already been created and tested, you can be sure that your website will be readable and attractive to your visitors.  It’s also important that you’re able to create your own templates so that you can customize your pages and reuse the design.

Affiliate and PPC Management

Affiliate marketing and pay-per-click advertising are two of the most popular ways to make money with a website.  Because of this, having the tools to take advantage of these two methods built in to your web design software can be very helpful.  By keeping your affiliate codes organized and easily accessible, certain types of software can reduce site creation time.  Direct interface with a PPC provider, such as Google AdSense, can also save time and make your advertising more effective by only displaying ads that are directly related to the content of your site.

SEO Tools

Search engine optimization (“SEO”) has become an increasingly important part of making sure that your website gets seen; because of this, web design software that automates optimization can be very useful.  By making suggestions based on analysis, some software packages can greatly reduce the time spent on SEO through automation.

Script Insertion

Scripts allow a website designer to customize their page with both useful and interesting actions and events.  Because of this, script insertion can be a very useful tool within web design software; instead of re-writing the script each time it is to be used—which can be extremely time-consuming—the web design software is able to automatically insert it upon command.  This is an important time-saving feature available in many software packages.

The needs of every web designer are unique and require different features from their web design software.  Some tools, like those listed above, are useful in almost every situation.  Before choosing a software package to invest in, it is important that the designer determine the functions that the software needs to perform.  This can save a great deal of time when it comes to choosing the correct program. A web design software package like XSitePro has all these tools and many more.

Can anyone help on some advanced website design?

I’m looking to design a website where users need to register to post comments and to reply to them. Also want to integrate a fee system in this. The system should have capacity for several thousands of users. Have some experience of website design, but this ones way beyond my capabilities. Does anyone have any advice/comments about designing a website like this??? Where do I start? Thx.
Just to clarfiy, users of the website will be able to register an account and so I guess I’ll need some sort of database and method of data storage and control

This is a common set-up that works by using forms, controls, and cgi codes. Basically your combining codes that are used to create forums and shopping carts. One webpage holds the forms and controls where users fill in the info to register.. When completed they hit the submit button and the information is sent to another page containing a cgi script; the script sets up the account and stores the information to verify the member.

When the user returns, the info submitted is compared to that submitted during sign-up, if it matches then the script allows the member to access the page where they can post and reply to comments. The fee page is placed before.. within.. or after this “path of communication” that best fits the website’s purpose.
It is the simple-basic-itsy-bitsy-step-by-step communication between browser and programmer/coder, that makes this appear to be beyond ones capabilities. I’d say it requires more patience than anything else…. “Lots of it” =:^)

In the meantime there are plenty of services on the web that can provide you with everything you need to get started (database, server, configuration, etc..etc); when you’re ready to go solo you can transfer your files/website to your own equipment.

Are there any reputable online web design courses?

I want to learn some of the basics of web design and don’t know where to start.
