Subject: Re: [WSG] Client - Site Edits
I find it very disappointing that very few clients really
appreciate the
amount of hard work that goes into designing and building a site
(in my
experience). This particular client wants to save a few bucks by
maintaining the site herself. She doesn't seem to realize that her
time is
valuable as well and better used when devoted to her strengths. I
think
most of us know that we need to call a plumber or electrician as
they are
"experts" in their fields, and rightly so. Nuff said...
Now that I have a realization that I need to incorporate some sort
of a CMS
solution, can anyone lead me to resources that may help to teach me
the
ropes? I am leaning towards PHP, as I am somewhat familiar with the
language. Thanks.
Regards,
Kevin.

Hi all,
I am trying to find a solution to a nagging problem. Most of my
client's sites are not very dynamic and I update them as the client
requires. Because the updates are very infrequent, I have not been
charging very much for this ongoing support. However, I have a new
client who wants to maintain her own site (one I designed for her).
She is pretty good on the computer, but doesn't really know her way
around HTML or CSS. I am agonizing over how to "pass the torch"
over
to her. The site is not extremely complex, but is more than a
little
task for someone who does not design web sites.
I am wondering for advice on this situation and I am also wondering
how others handle ongoing updates after the initial design has been
implemented.
I am also wondering if a CMS system would, in any way, be a solution
to a situation like this.
Thanks.
Be careful if you don't use a CMS system. I donated a web site for a
local organization and it was a beauty...since I no longer had the
time
to devote to updating I turned it over to a so called 'web
designer' in
the community (at the recommendation of the executive director).
Sadly,
he has basically ruined my site because he has no idea what he is
doing
and has no concept of web standards--or style for that matter.
It is a real shame that so many people charge for and design web
sites
that don't follow any sort of standards.
Matthew

Subject: Re: WSG Digest
If I understand correctly, you're referring to what's called image
replaced text.
Personally, I use the "Phark Revisited" method (down a bit in the
page): http://www.mezzoblue.com/tests/revised-image-replacement/
Images should never be used for text in the HTML, that is correct.
I worked up a small example a couple of weeks ago demonstrating some
methods I use: http://www.jsiegfried.com/projects/irrollovers/ir-
rollovers.html
Hope I've correctly understood your question. And if I have, hope
I've helped.
Cheers!

Subject: Images as content vs. images as backgrounds
Hello list,
I've been talking to someone who thinks that a perfectly semantic
website has absolutely no <img> tags used for text in images. Could
anyone help me find some articles about using img tags vs. using
background images for navigation links or textual content where
images
are being used?
