Which one should I learn if my main priority is faster performance and smooth animations on websites.
Hello I am niching down to mental health practices and want to make sure I’m HIPPA compliant.
I currently use Kinsta to host, Wordpress.org and elementor for design. I do ssl certificates as well, if I am making a brochure type website for a mental health professional without PHI data stored. The only thing I would be doing is integrating a hippa compliant software like Simple practice for clients to submit information to book sessions which would reroute them to scheduling on simple practice.
What steps do I need to take to be as safe as possible for HIPPA?
We had a web designer come up with the basic reactive layout for indie-wall.com and the rest was done by a programmer.
Personally I like it, but I am not a specialist. What do you think? If you don't like it, what would you change to improve it?
Thank you for all your responses! We will be making a decision.
Hey everyone,
So, I'm pretty solid at web development, but when it comes to designing graphics and all the cool stuff that makes a website pop, I kinda struggle.
Does anyone have any good resources to help me level up my design skills? I’ve looked around on YouTube, but most of it seems to be more about coding with pre-made design elements. Any tips would be awesome.
Hi, I currently have a website on Wix, but I'm quickly learning of it's limitations. I'm trying to make a website within the same vein on Yelp, AirBnB, Vrbo, etc. with host and reviewer accounts, CMS to hold property information to populate pages, and the ability to trigger notifications for hosts when reviewers favorite the property or leave a review. Which software has these capabilities?
Web designers that have had a lot of success getting regular business online: Does anyone have sites, apps or services that they swear by for finding leads and work to bid on / quote? Would also be interested in hearing about services or vendors you’ve used to advertise and/or had a lot of success hiring.
I'm in love with how this came out
Decided to do a full redesign on it to add to my portfolio + currently in talks with the owner...
He's happy but still unsure???
- Before edit site: User requirements
- After edit site: New user requirements
Out of 10, how would you rate it?
Help! I’m creating a website for my personal chef business. I registered my LLC with Legal Zoom and they referred me to WIX for website creation. But I’ve been doing some research and I’m seeing comments that say WIX is not ideal and that Wordpress is better. I haven’t bought a domain name or anything so I still have options. I’ve heard WIX is not good for Google searches. Is Wordpress any better? A personal chef business is a small business so I don’t need anything super complicated but I do want it to be a good website. Does anyone have any advice?
Hey! I'm currently developing a web-hosted service that would be a dashboard of sorts for freelance workers (ex: photographers and AV technicians). Is there a way for me to implement existing services such as mail chimp and calendly into my site easily? If not, would I need to create my own alternatives?? I see alot of potential in my product but am a bit unsure of the practicality when it comes to programming it due to my inexperience with web design. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks for reading.
As the title states - I'm hitting a brick wall on the creative side - I've been tinkering with an Ecommerce site since August and have gone through a few re-designs, owing to my own skills and knowledge greatly improving vs the limitations of Pagefly via Shopify.
Less is more - but im struggling to find and design a cohesive and optimised site that works for both Mobile first and shows up well on Desktop.
Where can I find some inspiration that's not going to force me to pay a membership fee?
Trying to build a distinct luxury gifting brand and im struggling on Font compatibility and where to prioritise sections on homepage / collection layouts...
Can someone help me get out of this funk!?

hi everyone
I'm currently learning about DOM's at my course
It's interesting but I'm kinda clueless about a lot of things
like this for instance
const
itemList = document.querySelectorAll("li");
itemList.forEach((
elem
)
=>
{
elem
.classList.toggle("highlight")
})
can someone explain me what elem refers to?
thanks
First of all, I realize that the answer to this is almost certainly practice - design is a trade, and that ultimately means honing one's craft. But I just cannot get the hang of it. Let me explain.
I am someone who is traditionally a programmer by trade, though very early in my journey. Most of the actual code of things isn't too much of a challenge for me to understand with enough time. However, web design has been a real difficult thing for me to wrap my head around.
I understand some of the basics, like different elements, padding, margins, and how they're used. I've taken some time to analyze various websites and how they use them. But I cannot for the life of me understand how to put these things together when trying to make my own website.
Recently, I've realized part of the problem with my mentality is not taking the design half as seriously as I should, and that I should probably start actually trying to do things like doing mockups of the UI of my website designs before trying to do them.
But that hasn't helped me so much with trying to figure out how to develop the ability to make aesthetically pleasing things.
Where can I go to begin? Is there any resources which walk you through the steps of making an aesthetically pleasing but simple website so I can take the patterns from there that I observe and replicate them? I feel like there's a lot of information and it's quite challenging to separate the useful from the fluff.
Lastly, thanks in advance to anyone who responds to my post. I realize tons of people have probably asked this before, and apologies in advance if this was answered well elsewhere.
I am looking to hire a web designer to help with building a modern/professional website (about us/services/why us/contact). Could be 1-4 pages. My budget is $200-$1000.
Hoping you can ELI5 what am I missing here. I feel like my options are either super basic or super complicated and I am missing the middle, hence my request.
I’m trying to make, at the moment, basically a 5-page site for a local business focused on outdoor sports. Eventually I will want to have multiple languages supported. I have my domain name already and hosting through a friend.
Simple option: Squarespace.
Pros: Anyone, their grandmother and their goldfish can make a pretty site and it’s got all the business stuff integrated.
Cons: expensive. support seems to be abysmal and the consistent advice is to register your domain elsewhere, don’t trust google workspaces through squarespace. I also cannot use most of the e-commerce functionalities, potentially, as I have not clarified if any of the payment processing options are available in my country. It’s a physical business so a lot of the inbuilt functionality of squarespace seems wasted. Multi language support is an additional subscription for basically a google translate page when I want to make the multi language content myself.
Complicated option: Wordpress
All of the website builders I’m seeing recommended - elementor, blocks, whatever - seem intrinsically connected to a hosting arrangement for a subscription fee. And while some of the fees are very reasonable, I don’t know if this is what I want until I play around with it and see, and I already have hosting. I was expecting either some sort of browser-based CMS or a standalone editor where I could later push a finished site to the host. But I am not finding this?
And also, how do themes - especially paid themes - relate to this? Are they in lieu of an editor?
What am I missing??
Thanks for any pointers.
Hello,
I've just started using Framer and am a complete beginner. I have very little experience with web design.
What resources or videos would you recommend for someone just starting out?
Also, how long is the typical learning curve? From what I’ve seen, it seems like it takes at least six months to get decent at it.
Lastly, can someone with strong Framer skills make good money freelancing (Webdeisgn & Landningpages) ?
Thanks!
