Website Design Tools for Linux
Posted by Jack Warnes in Linux, Ubuntu, Website Design on August 31, 2009
I’ve been running a copy of Ubuntu for a while now, from Feisty Fawn to Hardy to the newer 9.04 Jaunty.
I moved over from Windows at the beginning of my University life and I haven’t moved back. Ubuntu has everything that I need…
- Emails are read online at Gmail
- Music is Streamed from a radio station
- Open office is used to text documents
- Firefox for web browsing
- VLC for media
There’s nothing else that I really need to do…or is there?
Freelance Website Designers Advertising with Adwords – or not?
Posted by Jack Warnes in Website Design on August 31, 2009
I have used adwords for a while now, particularly for one of my websites that needed to advertise to local people in the area. I had a look at using adwords to advertise my ability to design websites. This is when I hit a problem….
The Cost Per Click of adverts on the first page is as follows:
“website design” costs £15 per click
“web site design” costs £10 per click
“web site designers” costs £10 per click
“web site developers” cost £11 per click
Dual/Tri Screens for Website Design – up 30%?
Posted by Jack Warnes in Website Design on August 30, 2009
Lately I have been doing a fair bit of website design while down at my girlfriends house. The problem with this being the size of my laptop. It’s only a 13.1″ screen and is quite difficult to do any sort of design on. I do manage, but I struggle.
At home I normally use a better setup, my home-built quad-core desktop with dual 24″ monitors. (Yes, I did get identical, I had to)
Where would I be without these 2 monitors?
My top 5 website Layouts
Posted by Jack Warnes in Website Design on August 29, 2009
When it comes to designing websites, one of the early stages is to decide on a layout. Picking the wrong layout can be disastrous for the website. The layout needs to have enough space to display the relevant information, while maintaining the usability of the website. This is why I decided to blog about what layouts I mainly use and therefore my top 5.
Things to avoid when designing websites.

After waking up from the cave this morning, I decided to have a browse around on the Internet for some relevant articles. I came across this one posted over at Blackwater Blog. It outlines a few aspects of website design that should be avoided. After spending quite some time browsing quite a few websites, I decided I would have a go and list my own! Anyway, here we go.

I am a massive fan of Arjen Robben, ever since he was at Chelsea a couple of years ago. I love how he plays, and for some reason, how he runs!

Bye Bye Lescott?
Posted by Jack Warnes in Football on August 24, 2009
My thoughts on Joleon Lescott leaving Everton for Manchester City. I am a Manchester United fan so the actions of the rivals are quite important because of the upcoming derbys.
“Could this be the end of Joleon Lescotts time at Everton?
After their defeat at Burnley over the weekend, I’m not surprised he wants to move to Man City. Everton are now set to lose what I would say is their best centre-back, what with Jagielka injured…”
