Although you can find lots of web designers on internet but I don’t call all the newbie’s as a web designers as they have very little experience in the industry and no one give them big projects , to be a part of this industry a freelancer web designer must have the knowledge of following three important skills ,

  • Networking : A web designer must have a network of friends who also belong to the same industry , a good businessman always get popularity through his friends as man to man marketing is always good and if relevant people will talk about you and your business then just imagine how awesome it would be ! – Through a network you can always reach your message to the whole community as everyone bump good things so if your work will be good then everything will get popular automatically through the network of friends .
  • Search Engine Optimisation : Its one of the important things which make your every design SEO friendly , a search engine friendly sites are always liked by the users and everyone prefer to use search engine friendly sites .

This include search engine friendly URL’s for better readability of search engine . There are lots of other things which you need to emphasize on but for now its enough about search engine optimisation .
  • Good Marketing Skills : A web designer will good marketing skills always hit his targets as he is good in transferring his message to all of his relevant users . That’s called marketing , a web designer will A+ designing skills and with poor marketing tactics always leaf though the game as he don’t know how to reach to the buyer , in this way some other designer with good marketing tactics reach the buyer and fix a deal . This is how some normal designers got success in this business even though there are lots of designers available with excellent designing skills . So,the most important thing is to take everything in parallel and try to learn basic marketing tactics along with improving designing skills .

404, 301 redirect: headers and common HTTP response codes

June 4th, 2010 Posted in Other, Web Design

When connecting to a Web page, the client (browser) sends a request to which the server processes the response, following the HTTP protocol handling code returns a 3 digit number.
This code is located on the first line of response, and is of the form:

HTTP /1.1 200 OK

. In php, the php function header () function from your script to adapt the code that the server returns to “force” the behavior of the client browser.
Quick overview of the most common codes.

200 OK

The code 200 is Nirvana. Everything went well, nothing to report. This is the default code.

301 Moved Permanently (aka Permanent Redirect)

The 301 or “permanent redirect” is widely used in SEO. He pointed to the client (browser or search engine crawler) that the requested resource (document, image, etc.) has been permanently moved.
Suppose I rename a file. As it is, search engines send users to pages that no longer exist (they will be an error 404 – document not found), and any inbound links enjoyed my pages are lost they also point vacuum.
With a permanent redirect, the motors being warned that the document has been moved, will update their indexes to send visitors directly to the correct URL. At the same time, the popularity brought by inbound links will be transferred to the new pages.

302 Moved Temporarily

Near the 301 redirect, the code 302 indicates that a document has been moved temporarily. Engines so as browsers will download the document at its new address, but the references will henceforth be the usual URL.

304 Not Modified

When they have a document in the cache, the browser sends a header If-Modified-Since that includes the date on which they have downloaded the document for the last time. If the document has not been changed, the server sends a response code 304, “unmodified”, that prevents the browser to re-download content that is current in its cache.

404 Not Found

The document to which the user tries to access has been moved, deleted, or the provided URL is simply incorrect. The server has nothing to return. You can configure Apache, at the Virtual Host (or. Htaccess) so that it refers, in this case, a particular document through the ErrorDocument 404 / file.html. If 404 is file.html will be served. This can (and should always) be used to send a custom 404 page, which includes at least a mini-site map, so that the user can continue his visit on the site.

500 Internal Server Error

The code 500 is the end of the world. The server failed to respond to the request, often due to a configuration error. So, first check your. Htaccess, just a trailing semicolon for the server so it does more.

Function header

The header () function in PHP to send a response code other than the usual 200. Because it modifies the headers, it must be used BEFORE a printable character is sent to the client. Otherwise, a warning “headers already sent” will be generated. Here, for example, the complete syntax for using the header () function to send a proper 301 redirect:

header(”HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);
header(”Location: http://www.nouvelle-url.com/”);
exit;

Procedures and functions in MySQL: Basics

June 3rd, 2010 Posted in Web Design

Oracle has a language called PL / SQL to compile procedures and functions on the server. These procedures and functions can be called directly in SQL. When they are written correctly, they usually allow a significant performance gain, in addition to being useful and enjoyable to use. Basically, the procedures and functions are an excellent way to provide additional layer of intelligence to your database server, allowing it to perform complex tasks without recourse to external scripts. It therefore saves the communication protocol between database and application. Well … It is also possible in MySQL!

Mini Reminder: Procedure or function?

If you’re torn between creating a stored procedure or function, remember that the only difference between the two is a function fetches a result (even going through tons of intermediate steps), while a procedure is to action. Basically, if you want to have a return value, you need a function. Otherwise, choose a procedure.

In which case use, and how?

You can turn to ProcStock (for “stored procedures”, the term is also often used for functions) wherever you run heavy computations treatments and / or large volumes of data. The huge advantage is that you will not have to repatriate large resultsets to treat them as PHP (for example), then put them in base: everything is done directly in one simple application, which will call the function / procedure.
The MySQL functions that you define are used exactly like built-in functions (although they are usually written in C and compiled with the server … it’s also feasible to gain maximum performance in MySQL, but this is a another story), such as AVG (which calculates an average over the values of a field). Without AVG (syntax: SELECT AVG (field) FROM table), it should retrieve relevant results, add them and divide them by their number: (1 +5 +6) / 3 = 4. AVG did it alone and refers directly 4. Obviously, it is not very serious to have to get 3 lines. But with 20,000 records, it’s different, and performance will be affected, particularly due to the use of RAM required to run the script.
It can also be very interesting to use procedures and functions on the server database when multiple applications frontend in different languages may have to perform the same: rather than writing (and maintaining …) common shares several languages, deport them all running on the SQL server and ask customers to only interact with stored functions.

Conclusion

Lean on your PHP applications, there are certainly lots of things you can veer to stored procedures. The performance gains should be quickly felt, for a minimal learning effort.
In a future post, we will go further with stored procedures, including using parameters, cursors, handlers and whatnot. The challenge is to find an interesting example

Google SSL – The end of the keyword referrer?

May 30th, 2010 Posted in Other, Web Design

Google has recently announced that the Google search via SSL-encrypted connections can be carried out immediately. This requires the searcher on Google https: / / www.google.com call. So far this is only possible with the. Com version of Google, a call to https: / / www.google.de currently heads on to Google.com without SSL.

Now the step that the searcher through the use of an encrypted connection is to give more security, generally welcomed. Web searches are my opinion, the most intimate, what you reveal about yourself on the Web – that often plays in a different league than the data that are on Facebook, for example, more or less voluntarily released. As an unencrypted HTTP connection, particularly in open wireless network can be mitgeschnüffelt too easy, the use of HTTPS for the search absolutely makes sense.

For webmasters who evaluate their Besucherlogs, Google has a switch on SSL, however, a more serious impact: the browser that is sent when changing from a transmitted using SSL site on another host no HTTP referrer more – this usually contains the keywords under which the visitor’s own site was found on Google. Should the use of Google by using encrypted connections implement more long-term or even the standard Google this charge, the traffic analysis in the future will be considerably heavier. What has actually sought a visitor leaves, then no more of readily available.

I want to insinuate anything Google here, but if you in this way the value of third party web analytics tools drastically restricts the own Analytics service does this, of course, more excellent press in the market. For this it should be possible to identify a visitor at the target site and attributed to that search, which he got there. eTracker, Statcounter and all the other other hand, look in the tube.
