Paul Irish and Johnathan Neal have produced a terrific page for generating rules for border radius, shadow, font-face and more. Nice easy to use interface and a div that changes to display the results.

I love when someone comes up with such a usable piece of code. Thanks guys

Here is a really bad one that I received today. Apparently, translating to english is rather difficult.

Dear Colleague,

Thanks on a very happy note and it is incredible your efforts , time and energy towards the project. Your tonic was why the large cash left finally after so many trails. I write to inform you that at last, the fund transfer had been a SUCCESS.

The Fund was later paid out and I have collected my own share.Presently, I am in South Korea where, in partnership with a core investor in the Mining Sector of their economy, we are investing in the industry. But, I am not oblivious of the fact that you did your best in that context, although, it seem that element of doubt crept in.

I pressurized the influential woman to concede some amount as COMPENSATION to you, for the resources that you implunged even the time and inconveniences.

The sum of US$1.800,000.00 was what she agreed to as your compensation value, and the sum was made in draft but,because of my appointment in South Korea and too, I could not get through to you since your number at any time indicated “not in use”, I then handed it over to my secretary.His name is attorney chris coolman and his email: (chriscoolmanuk@gmail.com)

The Secretary is very much informed by me about you and I instructed him to hand over the Draft to you as soon as you contact him.
I gave him the CODE 555, which you have to mention for identification.

Yours Sincerely and associate,

Mr.John Mba chiarman

My name is Raymond Bahyi, 23 years from Sierra Leone. My father and I escaped from our country at the heat of the civil war after loosing my mother and two of my senior sisters in the war. As a result of the political instability in my country even after the war, my father established his cocoa and coffee export business in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He was in Buake, a northern city to negotiate for the purchase of a cocoa plantation when he was shot and killed by the rebel troupes fighting to take over the government of the country on the 22nd September, 2002. The death of my father has now made me an orphan and thereby exposing me to danger.
Before the unfortunate death, my late father had in his personal account with a bank in europe the sum of 9.5m Euros. As a result of the present insecurity of lives and property in this country, I wish and request you to assist me use your account in your country to transfer the balance of my father’s account. Again to assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me get a visa to your country for residence in order for me to continue my education and to invest the fund in a viable business venture. I am willing to give you 12% while 5% has been earmarked for expenses. If this is acceptable to you, send me  mail  so that we can discuss further on this matter and do include your telephone numbers with your address when responding back.

Thank you so much.
Raymond Bahyi.

Where to start? Simply of course. Web site design should encompass an organization’s essence, professionalism and unique outlook. As a designer/developer I have to marry that expectation with the real-world considerations inherent in publishing information on the web. Since compromise is essential, I need to be very clear about it with the client at the outset. We both need to be flexible and open to different approaches. That isn’t to say that there isn’t structure to the process.

Research

The process of designing a website starts with the information gathering. The designer needs to meet with the clients, either physically or virtually, preferably in person. You should have a checklist that you refer to when interviewing the client. Touch on the following points:
  · Purpose: What is the purpose of the web site? Is it sales, informational, service, entertainment or a combination of all the above?

  · Audience: Who do you want to communicate with? Prospective clients, established clients, associates, employees, general public, or a combination? Concentrate on the major audience.

 · Organizational requirements: Does the client already have an image that needs to be matched? Many companies already have logos, colour schemes and guidelines that need to be adhered to. This can make graphic design decisions complex.

 · Copy: Who will do the writing? If they are providing the copy, is it appropriate for the web, or will it need to be re-written? Will the designer be responsible for the copy writing? If you are writing the copy, the interview process will take on additional depth. Take as many notes as you can, you can’t get enough information at this stage. Another consideration is how often the content is likely to change, will it be often enough that the site will need a complex content management system, or will it be a static site.

 · Graphics: Does the client have graphics already? Keeping the site audience, purpose, and organizational requirements in mind find images and design graphics that fit best, while keeping the site performance up. The more images that are incorporated in the final design, the slower the site will load for many visitors.

 · Budget: It’s critical at this point to discuss the costs associated with the building of a site. Mention the time involved in constructing graphics, writing copy, and coding the back end. Most clients don’t know how long it takes to produce a good site, and may be shocked at some of the estimates that you give them. The client needs a real indication of the time and cost in order to make an informed decision on your design. Also, knowing the clients budget will guide you in your design decisions.

Info Architecture

Once you’ve gathered enough information to get started, the next step in the process is to produce an information map for the site. This is a living document that will change many times as you refine the site until you have a final design. The info map gives you a good overview of the site structure and will point out navigation schema and links. Time should be taken to flatten the site structure so that the content, that your target audience needs, is easy to access. The info map will also include references to any databases, server-side programs, client-side applets and scripts, forms and any other interactive items attached to the site.

Make a few mock-ups of the home page. These mock-ups should be in black and white, so that colour choices won’t interfere with the analysis of the site design. Submit these documents and the info map to the client for review. Sit down with them and go over advantages and disadvantages of certain layouts. Once you’ve agreed upon a layout, start throwing some colour schemes into the mix. It may take a few tries to get a look and feel that the client is happy with, but doing this now will save you from having to redo more pages later on.

All that’s left now is to put it all together. Happily, we have our trusty little info map to guide us and we’ve done our homework, so this stage should be pretty straight forward. Marry logical process with creative flair and you will flourish as a web designer.

From Mrs Annelies Wouters

I am Mrs Annelies Wouters from Switzerland , I am 68 years old, I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that i can’t work or do any stressful thing, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child, My Husband (Mr. Robert Wouters) died in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true Christians.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of US8.6million with a Security Company in Madrid Spain.

Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long with attract a demurrage fees as the security fees paid by me has expired or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confisticated.So instead of getting it confiscated i rather have someone whom i can trust to receive the funds and utilize it according to my wishes. And the best part of it is, the security company told me in the letter that they can have the consignment funds delivered to my approved next of kin in his house if within Spain or transferred to his bank account and if outside Spain then transferred to his or her bank account.

Presently, I’m with my laptop in a hospital in Denmark where I have been undergoing treatment for my sickness. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only 2 months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested/donated to any organisation/buisness of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization,E.g the poor homes, the motherless babies home where i came from, the deaf homes, and churches etc .All i seek for is a God fearing person like you, who will carry out my last wishes and before i emailed you today i prayed and the holy spirit gave me the confidence to send you this email. I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company in Spain. All i need from you is a confidential assurance that the funds when received by you will be used for the said purpose, Nowadays there are so much scams going on in the internet and it is difficult to trust but i don’t know why the Holy spirit still approved me to email you about this out of few email addresses i have from the internet, yours was the only one that was approved for me to contact.

Waiting for your reply.

Yours In Christ,
Mrs Annelies Wouters
