Hey guys,
We’re looking for a web developer to do some work for us for a few months. We’re being pretty transparent - we’re not super-rich, so we’re looking for someone who is relatively affordable and who will enjoy working with DJTT as we ramp up for the holiday season. Wordpress, CSS, PHP, HTML experience required. Ideally experience with Magento as well.
Are you a developer looking for some work?
Do you know someone who would be great?
I have experience with HTML and CSS but not the other two. I would be glad to help out if I could. I am not professional or anythIng but I could help out if u need it. I would be willing for the experience to do a live website.
Hm, (nerd on) I just read through the source Html/css (nerd) and it’s pretty straightforward with javascript and such. I’m actually helping build a site similar to this one with the inclusion of the Vbulletin forums and such. However, they want a ground up site with a CMS so its a slow start. But I’m liking the design of this site a lot. It’s a wonder what possibilities Wordpress has. (nerd off)
If you need any help with the site I can be of assistance as much as I can. I’m not too familiar with the PHP and Magento stuff though.
lol yeah I know what you’re saying.
I am a web developer by trade and IE has always been a pain in the ass, but IE9 is as good as any other browsers out there atm.
And it’s the job of the developer to make sure this doesn’t happen:
When you hover over blog it highlights/links to forum etc…
Had a very quick look at the source and it’s a right mess to be honest, but the problem is here I reckon:
If IE9 were just as good as the other browsers then there wouldn’t be an issue… but there is an issue, so its safe to say that its not as good and it sucks like it always has.
You know, they have a particular animal in Germany to describe what you guys are looking for. It is called the “Eierliegende Wohlmilchsau”. Translated it basically means,
sorry I love this site but the problem is not ie its djtt.
It is not valid html, ie isnt the best at guessing what it should look like, however browsers shouldnt need to guess maybe sort out the 102 errors
Validation isn’t as important as people liked to make it out to be back in the day. It’s helpful for figuring out why things are messing up. It’s perfectly ok to design a site that doesn’t validate, as long as you know why and have a reason for it.
It’s not solely a DJTT problem but rather the vBulletin and it’s plugins they’re using. Just by glancing you can see that around 30 of those are just due to the Facebook Like plugin they’re using and it’s custom class “fb:like” or whatever.
Having said that, there are quite a number of things in the theme code as well that don’t follow best web coding practices either.
My best suggestion would be to use Modernizr to fix all the browser specific things. Or send me some gear/coupons to help fix them
