As the developer, you want to know how much the client has to spend as early as possible so you know whether or not working with them is feasible and profitable in the first place, and also the scope of what you will be able to achieve with their (necessarily) limited budget. The client, however may be unwilling or unable to divulge this information for a couple of reasons. As ethical developers it’s important that we respect those reasons and help to educate the client about what options they have.

Our MediaTemple (gs) was performing fine at first, but the amount of traffic we have been receiving has been taxing our server resources, especially the MySQL databases. In light of this we've purchased a MediaTemple (dv), or dedicated virtual server, and are in the process of migrating all of our sites over during the month of December.

The move won't affect our current clientele at all, and we're still looking forward to serving businesses in the greater North Florida area, including Gainesville, Ocala, Dunnellon and Crystal River. However, the move will allow us the chance to be closer to larger markets in Jacksonville and St. Augustine.

However, creating a gallery style list poses a quite a challenge that if not tackled properly can result in a broken page that does more harm than good to the design. In this article, we'll be creating a bulletproof gallery framework using just a little CSS, some server-side logic and a dash of jQuery for standards-challenged browsers.

It's extremely feature rich and can handle lot of advanced graphic filters and effects. At it's core, however, Photoshop is a bitmap editor aimed at print work and photo editing (duh!), and it's honestly not the most efficient graphics program for Web design work. We switched over to Fireworks about a year and a half ago, and can say with confidence that we're never going back! Here's why. Design Tips {gmt_entry_date format=&qout;%D, %d %M %Y %H:%i %T"}
