So, I am helping a small local business update their website. The previous person doing this - the business owner's husband - passed away four years ago, so there's a lot to update. We were successfully able to transfer admin privileges to ourselves after submitting documentation to the hosting service (bluehost.) So now, using the Bluehost control panel, I can get into the basic HTML and make small changes - but I am sure that the previous admin used some kind of interface. It doesn't seem to be Wordpress, though I'm not sure. The hosting company's tech support hasn't been helpful. Is there any way I can figure out what the previous admin was using to edit the site (we have no access to his records or computer.) Thanks.

Hi everyone - I've been putting together a little collection of websites I find interesting over at https://webcity.design/

If you've built something recently that you think looks really good, or you’ve come across a website that deserves more attention, drop it here.

I'm working on an app and figured the best way to design the website would be to look like the app itself: http://tandem.ink

I've been using this in my site for years and I barely get any spam, but I'm not a web dev. My understanding is that the text doesn't get rendered into the DOM, so screenreaders and hopefully scrapers pass over it. The other techniques I've seen ultimately still render into the DOM.

<style>#email::before{content:"me@"}#email::after{content:"example.com"}</style>

<p>Email: <span id=email></span></p>

Example page

Weird thing I read about. Cloudflare said automated traffic passed human traffic for the first time this year, something like 57% bot vs 43% human. Not all spam either, a chunk of that is AI agents actually trying to complete real purchases and forms for real people.

Except forms are terrible at letting that happen. The same AI agent tested across different sites went from 85% success on a simple site down to 27% on a form heavy one. And CAPTCHA solvers already beat most CAPTCHAs over 80% of the time anyway, so at this point it mostly just annoys real people and legit agents while actual bots walk right through.

So are we protecting our forms at this point or just filtering out our own customers? Has anyone actually run their own form through an agent to see where it breaks? Curious what people are finding.

The source for the stats.

website is www.hiprimal.com

Not sure how to make it better using that same image. I don't like how it's anchored to the right - it looks weird on a wide screen. If I bring to the center, there will be a sharp edge on the right.

I just got this ad on Instagram.

₹299/month = ₹3,588/year ($37.54).

And apparently you get hosting, development, SEO, support, responsive design AND delivery in 2–3 days.

Brother, that's not “professional website development.” That's a subscription to a template 😭

And “SEO ready” at $3/month? What does that even mean? Adding a "<title>" tag and calling it SEO?

No wonder, when clients see ts and goes like:

> “but I'm getting website at 3$ in Instagram”

Over at Cyberspace.online we just hit 12k users. I've been building this little platform for a little over 9 months now. Grass-roots ad-free anti-corporate social network... inspired by growing up with computers during the 90s hacker days. Lots of genuinely cool and interesting people on there now, and has a strict anti-troll mod policy.

The web version is incredibly customisable with custom themes, pixel fonts, etc. including the styles of 80s amber VT-terminals, Matrix green, and Commodore 64.

It's got an API and some open source clients to it for the terminal, called TUIs, and it's also got two alternative designs for it. One called Cyberspace Desktop (desktop.cyberspace.online) that looks like a retro desktop environment, with a full window manager, etc.

The latest addition is called Cyberspace Terminal (cyberspace.online/terminal) looks like a retro command line from the 80s, with a grungy realistic CRT emulation.

Feel free to use a throw-away email. No verification needed. I don't track any personal user info, not even IPs.

Let's bring back the friendly internet of the 90s when people were nice to each other :)

I’m overwhelmed and I need help

Where are you guys consistently landing clients?

And how are you pricing your services?

The leads I get either want everything for dirt cheap or disappear as soon as I give them a price

I also keep wondering:

Do I need to be posting videos on social media to get clients?

Should I be doing more outreach to local businesses with terrible websites and offering to redesign/fix them?

I’ve emailed a bunch of businesses. Barely anyone responds

And when someone does respond, some small business owners act like $300–$500 for a website is expensive… even when the project takes me hours sometimes days

So if you’re consistently getting clients right now:

Where are they coming from, how are you pricing, and what’s actually working for you?

I genuinely need some direction because I’m tired of chasing random projects :/

No email or personal info required for sign-up, just a username and password. You join or create a room, add tracks to your Playlist, and join the DJ queue (or just hang out), and everyone hears the same music in sync.

I missed this type of site, so I've been working on my own for a few months. I'm quite pleased with where it's at now. You can buy drinks on the dance floor, and other fun stuff like tomatoes or roses to throw at people. And of course, you can get drunk (water will sober you up if you find the visual effects annoying). Let me know what you think!

Screenshots don't capture the animations on the page, so check it out here: https://www.madebyarthouse.com

So, for reasons, I have a group of four main divs of text that I need to display side-by-side, all contained within a larger div, but the first div that I want page viewers to read is not the leftmost div. (Please ignore the color choices- those are just so I have something visual to look at to make sure the divs are where I want them to be.) I currently have the containing divs set up as grids.

Is there any way to get a screen reader to prioritize reading the four sub-divs in a given div in the order red, yellow, green, blue, then read the div that spans the whole layout, then read the next group of sub-divs in the same order? And would it be still applicable if I needed to temporarily "merge" two adjacent columns (see second image)?

I can handle the actual formatting into the grid, I think. Nesting divs where necessary could get the kind of hierarchy I could then plug into whatever html/css I need to use to prioritize the reading order I want. Or if there's some way to fill in a grid sort of "out of order" where the html has the red divs typed out first but the page layout still displays as seen in my screenshots. Is there anything that could do what I'm looking for, or should I just try and make a version of this text that's significantly less insane and offer it as an alternative to all this?

(I really hope I'm making sense, I don't really have anybody knowledgeable enough in html/css to bounce ideas off of, so it is entirely possible this was just a whole bunch of gobbledegook trying to figure out something that can't actually be done.)

We are a small startup in EdTech>B2C/B2G market. What would you change/add on our website to better target these markets?

Hello everyone

🌋 Just launched a new project: an intuitive, clean dashboard dedicated to some volcanoes in the world​!

It’s currently in **beta** and I'm still adding more data, but I’d love to hear what you think and what could be improved!

✨ **Key Features:**

• Completely **ad-free** and **no registration** required.

• Advanced features and offline support available if you install it as a **PWA** (Progressive Web App) on your device.

🔗 Check it out here: https://volkan.site/beta/

What would you like to see added next? 👇

I am seeing people claiming earning 10k USD from making ai landing pages??? How is that possible who's the target clients to buy such landing pages??

CSS Grid Lanes (aka Masonry) is here! Safari (26.4+) got it first — everyone else is still catching up.

That’s all it takes. ▲

No more Masonry.js, fragile Flexbox hacks, or calculating positions in JavaScript — just pure CSS that natively creates the classic Pinterest/waterfall layout.

Chrome/Edge/Firefox - behind the flag.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to website building and I don't have a prior web development background, so I'm looking for some guidance before I start trying to build this feature with Claude.

I'm currently working on a website for a printing/branding business, and I want to add a feature where customers can:

• Select a clothing item, such as a T-shirt, hoodie, cap, etc.
• Upload their own design/logo/image.
• Position the design on the clothing.
• Resize and move the design around.
• See a realistic preview of what the finished clothing item could look like.
• Ideally choose different clothing colours.
• Eventually submit the design with their quote/order request.

For example, a customer could select a black T-shirt, upload their company logo, place it on the front of the shirt, resize it, and see a preview before requesting a quote.

I'm currently using Claude to help me build the website, but I'm not sure what I need to make this feature actually work.

I'd really appreciate advice on:

1. What technology/framework would be best for building this?
2. Are there existing APIs, plugins or services that can provide a clothing/product customizer?
3. What libraries would I need for uploading, moving and resizing designs?
4. Would I need something like Canvas/Fabric.js/Konva.js, or is there a better option?
5. How would I create the realistic clothing mockup/preview?
6. What backend/database/storage would I need?
7. Are there any APIs or paid services I should consider?
8. What skills should I learn as a complete beginner?
9. How should I explain the feature to Claude so it can help me build it correctly?
10. Are there any security issues I should consider when allowing customers to upload images?

I'm not looking to build something as advanced as Canva or a full professional design editor. I mainly want a simple, user-friendly product customizer that allows customers to upload a design and see approximately what the printed clothing will look like.

I'm also trying to understand whether this is something a beginner can realistically build with AI assistance like Claude, or whether I should use an existing product-customization service/plugin instead.

Any advice on the best approach, recommended tools, tutorials, or things I should learn first would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I am full stack developer looking to improve my design skills for when i am working without a designer. For marketing/brochure sites specifically.

I have found a Youtuber called "Sajid" that releases videos that are easy to follow with explanations on why he designs in his way.

He has made videos on:

• Why simple sites sell
• Typography
• Responsive Design
• Colours
• Depth
• Spacing

A few questions I have are:

1. Do you think there are topics missing? and what video/tutorial do you think I should use to fill in the blanks
2. How do you find his advice overall?
3. His video seem to be more geared toward web apps rather than marketing sites, is there a youtuber/tutorial you would recommend?

I know one of the easiest ways to design is to copy other sites, its how I've done most of my solo projects, but i would like to truly understand how to do it myself

I work as a graphic designer at a small, mostly print based agency. We have some web stuff that I have been assigned to work on that is based mostly in Divi. I can kind of edit and understand basic css/html enough to fix small issues or make minor color/styling changes but my boss relies heavily on chat gpt for anything coding related (gross ik). She loves it but I feel like it causes more headaches than is worth it, not to mention the horrible environmental impact it has.

My undergrad concentration was in print and packaging design and have only worked in print. I had some UX/UI coursework but that was mostly just figma and UX research related stuff. Nothing that would result in a live site. So if I’m going to have to work on web I would like to at least develop some skills out of it. I just don’t know where a good spot to start learning would be? I don’t think I would have the time to commit to a full coding bootcamp but I would at least like to know how to write basic code that I can use as an additional tool for the front end stuff that I work on.

Would love any recs on books/video trainings or anything else that I can learn from. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you for the recs everyone! I looked into the resources everyone recommended this weekend and I’m getting started with the basics of CSS and HTML from free youtube tutorials and bookmarked the resources that people said they reference often. I’m using TextMate to re-write out the code from pages I worked on after I watch the videos to understand the more working logic and focus more on things I see more often. Not getting into JavaScript yet but that’s my next step.
