Building websites for large state bureaucracies

I just got a message from the Department of mental health on the creation of a Web site. Of course, the site has a lot of content and I noticed it seems rather dated and is not a delicate design.

What are your feelings to get involved this kind of projects? I generally prefer small business websites because owners know exactly what they want and they do usually not long at all to build. I can imagine a horrible situation with endless meetings, several people chime on insignificant details, of the conflicting opinions and the process for months and months.

Anyone with this experience?

First, you will need to answer a number of questions about what it is asking you to do.

It would be very unusual for you to "just got a message" ask you to build a website, but you may have been invited to bid for the project. You have applied for a web designer/developer job?

Also remember, that the site you can see on the web, may or may not be the real Web site that they speak, as many Government or large companies have completely different for the employees of the company sites (or other users), that the public site may actually see.

If you are invited to bid, and then ask the design and development, in short, to give you more information on what is required, (a link should be provided in the message).

If it comes to an interview, then I would recommend that you know what position it is for and at least know as much as possible for this function (if you fail to show at least a reasonable knowledge of the requirements, then that's it for years).

And before ask you, I was up at 2 years, so I retreated, I would have been one of the types of people who would have decided if you where appropriate on such an interview.

    If I create a website for a client, it will be able to update certain content using another tool for Adobe (it won't use (and buy) DW just few updates)?

    Why not contribute? Always sold, my clients love it. Each of them made. They all hate wordpress and Joomla, and when they try to contribute, they all thank me. I don't even have to teach them how to use it.  But if they do not spend a penny on any software, then you're kind of stuck.

    There is a CMS for Dreamweaver by Studio extend I think. I bought it, and it is not very good in my opinion. It is not integrated in the system uses DW model, then you will need to open each page and select a div at a time to make editable manually. Could be so much more. I think it's a domain Adobe completely blew with DW.  Absolutely, there should be an integrated way in order to offer a type CMS without Contribute workflow. Having to use WordPress is not something that I like. Most of my clients is a small business and need one, maybe 2 people to make fundamental changes to their pages. Built in CMS would be perfect. I continue to use DW to build sites, and I could let minor things without a disbursement of $200 for the customer.

  • Creating illustrations for larger sizes, what software to use?

    Hello everyone,

    I'm an amateur, its my first discussion here.


    My work team will start a large project, we will build a space for visitors to an event. We will need several plots of illustrations for the walls, designs sizes like 6, 7 metres (width), with vectors and photos (jpeg, eps files). I have no experience with Illustrator, but theres no way to create more than 577.95 files. Before we begin, I want to hear your opinion on the best Adobe software to create these illustrations of great size.

    I second that.  Configure your Illustrator file to 25%.  Your Photoshop files will be 600ppi @ 25%; If their final ppi will be 150 to 100%; for large format digital printing.  Raster/document (illustrator) settings must be defined for high resolution or custom where pixelation effects will retain their appearance when scaled by 400%.  You might be able to prepare your files @ 50%; If so, simply adjust resolutions.

  • Suitable for large enterprise applications?

    Hello

    I am in favour of Apex in the Gayshop Oracle Forms, but he has received the following statement: "I'm afraid that because of its architecture of 2 level (treatment of all takes place in the comic book), it is not suitable for large enterprise applications.

    Please help me to answer that.
    Not to say yes, "it is" or "no, that is not, the person is just", but saying why it is or isn't.
    References would be nice too.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

  • For the State Machine logic makes me Mad, ideas?

    Hello

    I am a complete newbie to Labview and up to the help of kind people on the forum and tutorials tips, State where I implement a state machine.  However, I can't it behave using logic.

    What I try to do is to test the relay using an automated test procedure.

    The procedure takes the following measures:

    1. a card reader and transistor NI9472 DO turns the relay power via the power of the coil (needs of the variable time period). (It's OK)

    2. account of how can cycles the relay contacts worked, it will easily exceed 100,000 cycles. (It's OK)

    3. every 10 cycles (new variables), the contacts are held closed, load circuit "15A in the state machine" (the current relay is switching, which will be 15 a at 30V) is turned off.

    4. While the State of 15A is off, I need to switch to 'State of 1' and the 'State of the measure' , that it allows the measure to take.

    5. Finally, the "State measure and the"State of A 1"must be turned off and the"15A State switched back on .

    6. this process continues for another 10 cycles and repeats.

    I tried to do by using the States and the logical selection function for different States, where she part works, it does not seem to flow completely.  I'm I missing logic.

    Hoping someone may be able to help, thanks

    Andy

    I really didn't thing you want to be returning this Boolean value in all States.  You should probably also have a different evolution register for each line of output.  Then you simply adjust those that you need to.

  • Request: Make these more fast screws for large tables

    Hey everybody,

    Did anyone mind take a look at these two screws? They work very well for small data sets, but they are starting to take up to 200ms each for large arrays (~ 5000 rows x 2 columns). The first actually sends data to the 2nd, so the total delay when running these screws may be 400, 500 ms. Too much to use them in real time.

    Reminder of how they are used:

    The user can click or click-and - dragging on a graph of intensity to create a card to die to test. These VI are run to update a list of that die are selected and a list of how the machine will move. In mode click - drag, these VI create a very big delay in the response of the public Service.

    First VI:

    The entrance is a 2D table 1 or 0, indicating the test or not test. The output is a 2D line (Nx2) table, column numbers should be probed.

    Second VI:

    The entrance is a table 2D (Nx2) R, C numbers (from the 1st VI). This VI calculates a relative movement of the current matrix with the following matrix. The output is a table 2D (Nx2) of the relative motions (Y, X). Example: ((2,4), (5.1)) back in ((0,0), (3, -3)).

    I've already cut the running time up to half of what it was, but it is still not fast enough. And Yes, the limits of error are not connected, I know :-)

    Screws (also attached):

    So, what do you think? Is there some Subvi I don't know which completely replaces the 1st VI? Is one of the Subvi I use inherently slow?


  • Find the old XP for large fonts setting, Extra large fonts in Win7

    Under Win XP, if you right click the desktop, you can go into the settings display or appearance (I forget which) and choose to change the font size in the world, the Normal font, large fonts or Extra Large.  You can also change the ppp settings.

    In Win 7, it seems only global allows you to change the sizes of police or through DPI settings, and for me, is not enough.  I had found the right combination of a DPI higher associated with "large fonts", which worked very well in most programs.

    My question: nor not Win7 were the old normal, large and extra-large, choice of fonts hidden somewhere like the one shown below (and again, I speak NOT the DPI settings for large fonts)?

    http://www.ConsumerWorld.org/GIFs/LargeFonts.jpg

    (Also, I don't know about the font in IE settings, etc., but it's too not that I am referring is.)

    Thank you
    Edgar

    Hello dworskye,

    Unfortunately this option is no longer available.
    You can change the resolution, change the DPI, and depending on the used theme change the sizes of individual fonts. Need you to do this right click the desktop, click personalization, Color of Windows, click on Advanced appearance settings
    Hope this helps

    Hello, I recently created a website for a client. I also created a brochure with a QR code that automatically redirects visitors to a single page in the site. Well, I had to make changes to the site and I had to change the name of the page in which the QR code pointing to. Is it possible to keep the current name of the page but create a page of automatic redirect named like the QR code? Basically, the brochures have all been printed already, so I need the QR code when analyzed in order to continue working. Now, it is not the case.

    Nevermind, I figured it. I've reproduced the page, renamed the QR that indicates the code of the page, and then he hid in the menu of page properties.

  • IMPOSSIBLE TO SWIPE 1ST IMAGE SLIDESHOW ON MY WEBSITE FOR "TELEPHONE"?

    Hello

    I am trying to set up a simple layout for my website for 'PHONE' and I have 5 slideshows on one page of scrolling, but for some reason any 1 slideshow screen I can't drag or control with the buttons left and right yellow. The other 4 work well and I have checked to make sure that "Enable Swipe" is checked, which is. It would be something to do with the 'Menu' that slides in from the left and then covers the image, it seems to be the only thing I can think?

    Please see screen attached catcher also please take a look at the (PHONE) www.segmentdesign.co.uk.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you very much

    I am able to reproduce the problem where first start does not blow but the rest of the slides very well work.

    I suspect his contribution to overlap other content on the page, can you please check if there is no overlap and that change.

    Thank you
