    What do you expect from a family business?

    Do you get a positive or negative change of attitude towards a business when you find out it is family-owner and/or family-run? For example your stationery supplier, the printing company or anyone else. Would you rather do business with a family business or you trust the bigger guys more? I...

    Just Went Full Frontal

    1. The menu looks fine to me, but you can play it safe and make a small change. This code in style.css: .jqueryslidemenu ul li a { padding: 0 15px; } Just change the 15px to 14px and you will save ~18 pixels, that should fix the issue with certain browsers on certain devices. 2. I'm really...

    Banned by Tesla!

    Personally I think that the author has exaggerated a bit. When you come to an event with 3.000 other people, why would you be surprised by things running one hour late? I know it is not a rock concert where you should expect a 4-hour delay, but come on... Where there are crowds there are always...

    I pray to the gods, the old ones and the new, that you are not actually using the .bmp image format.

    Just Went Full Frontal

    2em basically means something like (x2). So if your font-size is 15px, a 2em line-height would be line-height: 30px. So no matter what font-size you set, the 2em will always match the font-size. If you set it to 10px, it will be 20. Alternatively you can try something like 1.85em, etc. The...

    7. Green links on a green background - a colorblind person's nightmare. Try making your links red (#da5246) and give them a text-decoration: underline, make them easier to spot, it looks so much better. 8. Instead of Tahoma 12px try Open Sans 16px with a line-height of 2em, it looks so much...

    Just Went Full Frontal

    Well, OK, if you don't mind I would like to suggest a few improvements. 1. Now that you don't have sidebars (to hell with them), your content has a width of 960 pixels. Generally it is a bad idea to have text longer than 600 pixels, as the wider it is - the more difficult it is to scan and...

    Online Chat

    My one suggestion would be to be clear and attentive to what you are saying and agreeing to in the chat. For example if you give away a special rate or the guest makes a special request. If it is for a later date - you might forget it. When you have an email - you can always jump back to it...

    Who visits your website and when?

    I know that, I was mostly interested in the screen-sizes, and not just the "Desktop / Mobile" % stat. Because even on Desktop you can have 50% of 1280x1024, so that would be weird too.

    Who visits your website and when?

    Hi guys, When was the last time you checked the "Screen Resolution" stat from Google Analytics for your website? Go into G Analytics > Reporting > Audience > Technology > Browser & OS and select the "Screen Resolution" primary dimension. I was thinking now about redesigning one of my older...

    Wordpress.org vs Wordpress.com

    Talk about bloated themes :)

    Wordpress.org vs Wordpress.com

    As someone mentioned in one of the comments - there is a big learning curve with WordPress. Of course it is still easier than some other CMS's like Joomla or Drupal, but it does become more and more complicated with each version. And to think that it became popular for its simplicity, and now it...

    Real Paintings as Gifts - Good/Bad Idea?

    Yes, the idea would be for HIM (the painter) to do a painting of a photo provided by the HOTEL/B&B, and then the PAINTER would send it to them by mail. But now that I think more about it, it would be difficult to explain, organize and handle this thing... Maybe some other time in the future...

    Real Paintings as Gifts - Good/Bad Idea?

    Hello people, I just came up with an idea and wanted to run it by you amazing people :) So I have an artist friend from Austin, Texas who is over 40 right now. For many many years he wanted to dedicate himself to painting but never got the chance to. So he started just recently doing this...

    Air upgrade turns to additional purchase

    I think that some people here have mentioned (in the past) that this is a dangerous game to play. If people write in their reviews that they get free upgrades, then others may start to expect that by default and will book only the cheaper rooms, especially in low season. So tread carefully :)

    Which website building company is the best and easiest?

    WordPress is often the way to go, try it out. As the most popular CMS in the world, there is no lack of themes (free and premium), video tutorials (practically in any language), a ton of platforms where you can find freelancers and developers, etc.

    Moral of the Story is...

    It is funny that I built my business pretty much anti-Buuteeq, as in a complete opposite of what they were offering. People were emailing me like: "Why? Their service is great and modern, hassle-free websites, etc." BOOM! And by the way, on the old Buuteeq's website, right on the frontpage...

    Hotel and B&B Website Engine

    I found this somewhat too funny to ignore. 1. When using WordPress and WordPress products, you gain access to millions of users and developers across the globe. If your web dev guy is abducted by aliens, in 2 minutes you have another 100 lined up and ready to take over. With your product - it...

    Postcards and note cards

    And people don't use magnets, this doesn't mean they don't sell them in every single tourist destination on the planet.
