Can someone explain the process of making website for a small business?

I am planning to make websites for my family’s dental business and my dad’s personal teaching business. I self taught myself web development and have 0 work experience. So I am trying to practice with my family’s business! When I make their websites, do I have to come up with my own web design for them such as UI and UX? Or do I request how they want them to be for the layouts?

From Stimulus to web components

https://olets.dev/posts/from-stimulus-to-web-components/

I've done a lot with Stimulus, and until recently had not done a lot with web components. Like custom elements, Stimulus controllers are JS classes with a few special properties, and writing them exercises vanilla JS chops. To explore how well Stimulus experience translates to web components, I recreated some of Stimulus's core features as a web component.

Does anyone develop with Go (Golang) and simple HTML/JS (like jQuery or simpler)?

Hi everyone,

I haven't done any web development in about 8 years, but I’m interested in building simple websites that load quickly on mobile browsers. I want to avoid modern frameworks since I don’t need all the added complexity, tricks, and features they bring.

All I’m looking for is a Go (Golang) backend and a simple, SEO-friendly mobile/web GUI.

Here are my main questions:

  1. Does anyone here work with Go, and would you recommend or discourage using it for this purpose? (I’m already familiar with Go from working on enterprise servers.)
  2. If you use Go, what frontend framework do you pair it with?

Thanks for your help!

Looking for info on building custom visualisations...how'd you do it?

Ever created custom visualisations for a client?

If so, would love to know some details like: 

  • What kind of tech stack you use?

  • Did you use any libraries or other SaaS services to make it easier or cheaper?

  • Were you managing your own database or did the data come from a third party service like Salesforc? 

Any info would be awesome. Thanks muchly 🙏🏻🤓

How do I make a comment section that doesn't require user registration?

Hey, so I haven't made a website in yearssss and I need one now that allows visitors to submit a short anecdote and have them be displayed on the website. However, I don't want the visitors to have to make an account or register any type of information, I want it to stay anonymous and easy to do, otherwise people won't submit anything.

I was advised to use http requests, but that it would require me to get a host or use my own laptop (not very secure). And website builders are unlikely to let me have people submit "comments" without an account.

I haven't programmed in ages and I'm not sure which route I should take from here.

Any help is appreciated!

Extra info: This is for an art exhibition in a small gallery for 10 days. There will be a QR code next to my piece for the visitors to access the website. I probably won't leave the website up after the exhibition is finished.

Import Demo Content not working in Wordpress.

Recently I have uploaded this ceprox theme from envato to wordpress,
https://elements.envato.com/ceprox-creative-portfolio-wordpress-theme-Z8XKEFE

I have followed every steps of installation, but in the import demo data it's saying "There are no predefined import files available for this theme. Please upload the import files manually below." then there is this option

Import Content

Select an XML file to import.

but in the zip file of theme there is no xml file, all files are in php format, In the ceprox dashboard there's another option "import demos" from there I imported the existing theme but still it's not working, I have only uploaded parent theme not the child theme, don't know what to do with that.

Please help me to set it up.
Here's the website link: https://theaurorahost.com/
Ceprox theme installation doc: https://doc.bravisthemes.com/ceprox/index.html

Embedding Spotify playlist into a Google Site

So I keep trying to embed a Spotify playlist into my Google Site, and when I view the preview Spotify shows me on their website, the widget looks exactly how I want it to, no problem. But everytime I copy the code Spotify provides and paste it as an embed into my Google Site's footer, the preview shows how my playlist looked by default before I added a new cover and title (aka, it shows all some album covers for the playlist songs and "untitled")

How do I get my widget to update and show the new playlist title and cover image I picked? Alternatively, is there a better way to autoplay a Spotify playlist on my website as background music?

Is the cost of server side rendering negligible?

I'm creating a suite of services for a local business, booking online/over the phone with an employee, then the system for the business to look at their schedule, manage it, edit services they provide, etc. Again, this is a local company. I'm not well versed in the cost of SSR vs CSR's performance but I naively assume that the cost doesn't matter either way I go. I'm debating between templating and something like vue, but I honestly think that I should go with whatever is better for the situation, and not really consider SSR vs CSR. It's not like devices are slow, they're incredibly capable, including on a server which wouldn't get much traffic. Any thoughts or feedback for me?

How do I offer free trials to only business email accounts?

I'm trying to figure out a way to offer a free trial on my SaaS product without making it easy for the user to just re-signup with a new email once it expires.

On some websites, they offer free trials to only people with @ custom domain names. So avoiding all the free email services.

#1. What is the process to accomplish this? do I just tell my dev to disallow all of the free email providers? or is there a better way to do this?

#2. Can you think of a better way to offer free trials? I don't want to restrict certain features of the product in the trial. I want the user to have full access.

  1. Discord Bots: I have a few Discord bots I’d like to run 24/7.
  2. Websites: I also want to host a couple of websites and I’d like to make them accessible on the web with a domain name.
  3. General Setup: I’m looking for advice on the best way to set up my laptop for this. What software do I need?

Here’s what I’m working with:

  • Laptop Specs: 64bit, 4gigs ram, 512gigs hdd

Need Advice for Creating a Paid Calculator Website with User Accounts

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to build a website where users can access complex calculators (like engineering or financial tools). Users need to create an account and pay a one-time fee to use these calculators. Once paid, they should have lifetime access to the calculators via their account.

I’m familiar with WordPress but couldn’t find a theme or plugin that handles this specific situation. I need advice on how to approach this. Do I need custom development, or are there plugins/extensions I can customize to achieve this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, especially since I’m from a mechanical engineering background and not very experienced with web development.

Thanks in advance!

Optimized integration of a JSON/GIF animation in Website (Webflow)

Hi everyone,

I'd like to integrate a transparent video of around 20 seconds on my Webflow site, while optimizing the page's performance for a better score on speed tests (especially for SEO). Here's what I've tested so far:

  • GIF: Size too large (17 MB), severely impacts performance.
  • APNG: Similar size to GIF, so problematic for performance.
  • WebM: Small size and good quality, but doesn't handle transparency properly on Safari.
  • JSON (Lottie): I have a JSON animation that I currently host via LottieFiles, which points to the 448 images hosted on GitHub. This seems to be the best solution in terms of size and transparency, but I'm having integration difficulties.

Main problem with JSON:

  • Webflow supports JSON files in its assets. However, when I try to embed it as a Lottie Animation element or via a <embed> tag, the animation doesn't display properly on my site.
  • I'm looking for a solution to integrate my JSON file directly without depending on LottieFiles, in order to reduce external dependencies and improve loading performance.

Do you have any recommendations or ideas for solving this problem? :))

Thanks

Oliver

Which payment processor is best?

I'm looking for a payment processor for my website. I'm just going to use the payment links for now as I only have 2 products and I do not understand the backend. Which payment processor would be most recommended? I've been having a look around and seen so many horrible reviews for stripe and paypal saying their accounts were randomly banned and money (in the thousands) stolen. That and their trustpilot star ratings being below 2, I'm quite put off. However I do want one that looks secure and is decently well known but that won't rip me off, it is a small business. Any suggestions?

Also out of curiosity, in the future I would like a proper checkout, as in customers add things to the basket, go to the basket then checkout. How hard would it be to learn how to do that ? Are there any resources I could learn from? And how much would it cost to pay someone to do it for me?

Is it ever ok to not support IOS?

Hi everyone,
So I've been working on a web-application for the past few months. I started developing it on my PC and then made it responsive on laptops, tablets, android phones, and now IOS phones.

In general, I seem to be running into far more issues on IOS devices than I was with android. For one, IOS devices prevent the automatic playing of videos when the device is in battery saving mode. But there are a number of other issues that are making the user experience for IOS users very poor and borderline unusable. Additionally, I don't own an IOS device so I'm relying on tools like LambdaTest which is making it more difficult.

I'm wondering if it's ever ok to not support IOS devices. And how would you prevent IOS users from attempting to use the web application? I know it would significantly cut the userbase but I'd rather that than users having a frustrating time.

It does have quite complex functionality so maybe it makes sense to only support on PCs and laptops?

Has anyone else ever had to do something similar?

Access secure navigator from https iframe in http page

Hey guys - I had a question. I would like to access navigator.userAgentData in an https iframe that I have within an http page for a test that I am setting up - how do I allow for this property to be defined within the https iframe? I need this data to be sent, and I was wondering if there was a way to ignore the secure context wrapper that is probably preventing me from doing this check - any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
