Been seeing a lot of ads of this sort on mobile: scrolling an article, at one or more places there’s a square “window” that reveals an ad underneath as the article text scrolls over.

I’m seeing that at theGuardian,com.

A more annoying variant includes crap moving in from the sides, top, and bottom, covering the article content. The bottom overlay can be partially collapsed by clicking a control and temporarily dismissed by clicking a close box.

I saw the latter at Mediaite.com several times yesterday.

On one site that was buggy and it would wind up with multiple copies of the ad in multiple layers.

These have been a real blight the past day or so.

What is this abortion called, what asshole is responsible for it, and how do I banish it to outer darkness?

Thank you.

Was using JetEngine but I’m having issues left and right lol. What are your thoughts on Amelia?

I’ve looked into Motopress , Bookster , and as few others but Amelia has me sold! I love the easy to use interface and setup for both me and my client. What do you guys think?

I figured I'd share my experience in the hopes that others are spared the trouble. A couple years back, I signed up for a domain and WordPress hosting through BlueHost. I got my site stood up, and then one day I see a default WordPress welcome page. Turns out, BlueHost had deleted my entire site for a reason unknown even to them. Luckily, it was restored to a backup.

Fast forward to September 2023. I signed up for a new account with a new domain, WordPress hosting and google workspace. I got my site migrated over and everything was working. One day, my site stops working. Turn out, for another unknown reason, WordPress modified my A records and took my site down. At this point I was fed up.

In March of 2024, I switched my WordPress hosting to Cloudways, which has been great, and pointed my A records over there, as well as a few txt record changes. I was no longer utilizing BlueHost hosting, however there was a 1 year subscription which expired September 1, 2024. Well come last night, my website and e-mail stops working. Low and behold, my A records, MX records, and txt records had all been deleted/returned to defaults by BlueHost. I called, furious, and was told that, even though I was still paying and had an active domain and Google workspace, because my hosting had expired (over a month ago), BlueHost returned all of my domain settings to default!

To top it all off, I asked them to return my records to the previous settings. Guess what? They don't keep any of that stuff backed up or recorded, so once it's wiped, it's gone. I was able to pull some historical records from a third party site and get everything restored.

TLDR: BlueHost has, on multiple occasions, deleted my website and my domain DNS records, bringing my site and my business down.

Stay far far away from BlueHost. Cloudflare and Cloudways has been a good combo!

I’m planning to create my own little shop to sell T shirt , but I have no clue about website building. I’m looking for website builders that offer free design templates and easy to work?so that I can easily choose a style I like without worrying about designing from scratch. Does anyone have good suggestions or can share your experiences? I really hope to find a platform that I can quickly learn how to use.

Basically the title. Challenging in terms of understanding any frontend realted concepts, patterns etc. Or anything?

Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share a passion project I’ve been working on!

As a web designer, I’ve always believed that mobile design deserves special attention. Mobile users interact with websites differently compared to desktop users—they’re faster and often need to access information more efficiently.

One thing I noticed is that most design inspiration websites tend to focus mainly on desktop designs, with limited examples of well-designed mobile sites. To fill that gap, I’ve created a website that showcases a curated collection of outstanding mobile websites, aimed at inspiring other designers to elevate their mobile webdesigns.

Here are some key aspects I’m focusing on:

• Interactions designed around thumb-friendly zones (like bottom navigation)
• Text and button sizes optimized for mobile
• Smooth animations that enhance the overall mobile experience

Ik hoor graag of jullie nog dingen missen of verbeteringen hebben voor de website.

I'd love to hear if you feel anything is missing or if you have any suggestions for improving the website.

I'm using the shoplazza template and I sell some cute anime items, what do you think of my website design? What do you think of my website design? : Koin & Kawaii ：https://kawaiikon.com/

Hey guys, I’m interested in finding out how much it would cost me to have someone help amp up my website for the printshop business my husband and I are opening.

I figured I’d ask here rather than do a quote somewhere online and risk having a bunch of different numbers calling me.

Any questions/advice is appreciated.

EDIT (more info)

-So at this point in time I’d be looking for something with a homepage (what we offer), about us & contact info. Later on we would consider adding more like testimonials etc.

-Currently not looking to have online orders as we do most of that via business phone/email and quotes through yelp.

-Right now our website is essentially the most basic template via godaddy.

• We’re located in California in the stockton/sacramento area (lodi)

I’d say my budget at the moment is probably around $1,500 which I know is low so I can understand if I’d need to prioritize our needs to the very basic options.

Again, thank you all so much for your input.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a tablet/ipad for designing websites, graphics, etc on the go

May I ask what you use? Do you have any recommendations?

My key criteria are responsiveness (not laggy) + solid compatibility with sites like Framer, Webflow, and Gumroad

Ideally, it won't have planned obsolescence built in (is that a thing with tablets still, as with phones?)

I'm happy to buy second-hand so I won't say my budget just now

Thank you in advance

So I’m building a website and wanted to try out crocoblock jet form builder and jet appointments. My form is showing but the calendar part isn’t showing. It shows for like a flash then goes away.

Could this be a database issue?

More info: I’m using the kava theme and as far as the form it came with jet engine form but I upgraded to jet form builder instead. I’m thinking maybe I have the appointment_booking meta from the old jet engine plugin giving me the issue due to duplicate meta.

Anyone has this same issue?? Or knows how databases work? SQL.

As if we didn't have nough WordPress drama, now WordPress basically did a hostile takeover of ACF, this post has a detailed analysis of the code of the SCF fork andwhat to expect next. While it doesn't seen to affect end users, I assume devs must be going crazy with the news

Curious about using JetEngine but struggling bad. Any tips for a website as such? My client needs appointment scheduling with deposit payments.

I've been using flexbox to centre everything and just generally make my website look good. It works fine for positioning as long as the resolution is 1920x1080, as soon as it gets smaller than that everything goes to shit. All the text starts to merge and eventually overlaps and becomes unreadable. What's the best way to fix this? Is there a property in flexbox that could fix this or should I move to using a grid system or even just doing everything manually. I've added some images so you might be able to understand better, Thank you!!
Pc resized to be smaller (this is a resolution that would never normally be used but you get the idea):

On mobile, still looks terrible, basically unreadable:

Hey all! I’m the cofounder of a customer support platform. Looking to partner with agencies who are helping companies doing digital transformations. So e-commerce are our main focus. Wanted to ask what the best approach would be to connect with agency owners. Any advice would be amazing. Thanks in advance ❤️

Greetings, Thank you for taking time to read my post. 12-15 years ago, there used to be Chrome & FireFox extensions that would make a website better. It would

1. remove ads

2. make the website more streamlined

3. have better or customized fonts

4. make the website more read-able.

today's websites use huge font and don't make it easy for the basic laptop user to traverse the website a lot. the information about the fold (top of screen) is always a huge graphic. requires a lot of scrolling and peck hunting.

has anyone seen any chrome extensions that make a website more read-able? Look forward to hearing what my fellow redditors have discovered. Happy Friday from Frisco, Texas.

I'm trying to get away from Wordpress and Elementor.

I tried using blocks, but, apparently - When I can't easily make a nav header, hero, body, and footer without going through a long-winded, convoluted, many-stepped process involving coding, settings on 4 different Dashboard areas... well, you get the idea.

Two sites:

1. I need to have a portfolio page where each image links to a page of the artwork with a description.
2. I need to be able to have visitors schedule appointments.

Would like to keep on my current host.

Any suggestions?

i’m in my first semester of web design. it’s so overwhelming. in one class i’m learning and trying to make sites with html and css, another class learning and writing pseudocode and another learning adobe design tools (which is surprisingly hard and frustrating for me btw) I just feel like it’s barely clicking. I feel like I need extra practice, but how can I practice when I have 4 assignments a week that take anywhere from 1-5 hours per assignment (maybe more depending on the assignment) and to top it off I have to work between all of this. only part time currently but still.

any advice? the last time I was in school was when I was in high school about 7 years ago. I’ve lost all time management and studying skills. any advice regarding time management/studying when it comes to practicing web design skills??

(although I seem like I’m hating it, I do enjoy web design! it’s definitely the career path I want to take so pls don’t discourage me from it lol)

Hey guys, I've looked around to find the best answer to this and can't seem to settle. There are builders for restaurants like popmenu but it's just too expensive. My approach to my service is to charge clients a monthly fee. So it's important the web hosting is actually cheap otherwise I can't charge a suitable amount for my fee.

With the knowledge and experiences in here, could you guys share what your best web builder/hosting platform would be for the two niches mentioned?

I have little to no coding experience as well however I can always outsource for multiple premium templates that I could work around for clients.

Go easy on me :) Let's work it out!

I do not know if this already exists, a site where you can create a ranking where people can up/down-vote items and the most upvoted rise and the most down voted go below. Of course I am not talking about a comments reddit section. I want a fixed website with a list of items and people vote on it. If that does not exist what would be the easiest way to implement such a list?

Edit: thanks for all your comments!

I read the https://www.nngroup.com/ blog quite often but I noticed only now. Not sure I like the colors, they are somehow harsh on eyes, but the keyboard focus is nice. Too many buttons that should have been links I think.

What are your thoughts?

They are currently running a promo for lifetime access.

I'm not a great designer. I take inspiration from lots of places when designing layouts especially. I normally don't "use" html templates but will use them as reference for design and colors, but it also includes design assets, presentation templates, plugins, and video/audio assets. I already have a subscription to Envato Elements which I use, so I'm not sure if paying this for lifetime access would be worth it or not.

Thoughts?
