Trying to make a collaboration platform feel cinematic without turning it into a fantasy-game UI.

Does the atmosphere enhance the product, or am I pushing the visual treatment too far?

How do I find out what CMS/web editing software a site owner is using?

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.

Setting up a new Pack VPS server. Recommendations?

I'm in the process of commissioning a new VPS server which will host mainly html/CSS sites (and one simple WP site). The server will be running Plesk 18.0.

Could I ask for recommendations for add-ons I should consider or would benefit from? Let's Encrypt is already on my list, but it's been a while since I've done this and I'm very out of date.

Also, are there any server-wide settings I should apply from the outset?

Thanks

₹299/MONTH ($3.13 ) FOR “PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT”??? 💀

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”

My hero section looks bad on large screens.

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.

Are psuedo-elements good for obfuscating e.g. email addresses?

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.

&lt;style&gt;#email::before{content:"me@"}#email::after{content:"example.com"}&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Email: &lt;span id=email&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

[Showoff Saturday] Cyberspace.online

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 so tired of inconsistent projects and constantly wondering where the next client is coming from

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 :/

I'm writing something that's intentionally a bit weird, formatting-wise. Could I get help making it make sense for screen readers?

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.)

CSS Grid Lanes (aka Masonry) is here (almost)

CSS just killed another JavaScript library.

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.
