Working
in website development not only means constantly learning new
languages and knowing when to use them, but, it also means learning
more about marketing, requirements gathering and human-computer
interaction. Website development has transitioned from simple
HTML-driven sites to fully interactive informational and ecommerce
portals. HTML5, jQuery and node.js didn’t even exist a few years
ago. Now they are a part of every project I do.
It
has always been my goal to share web programming tutorials and offer
suggestions on proper web design here on Web Development Blog. You’ll
find articles on eCommerce Solutions, Google Services, jQuery Code,
PHP Scripts and a variety of other topics.
What
you’ll find in this section are conversations and ideas on website
development that do not easily fit in one of the existing categories.
We’ll talk about website design as a whole, website development
tools, usability and running a website development company. As new
technologies and programming languages emerge, we’ll talk about
them here first.

Freeimages:
the
leading FREE stock photo site! They offer thousands of photo’s
from any subject, without watermarks and most of them are in high
resolution. Unlike on most other photo sites, it’s allowed to use
many of them for free even on commercial sites.

Brands
of the World: download
vector logos and logotypes. It happens that you work on a project
and you need a logo from some (bigger) brand for website or artwork.
The image file you got is from bad quality and there is no one you
can ask for a better version. Sounds familiar? Most of the times I
found a vector version on Brands
of
the
World
and I was able to finish my work. Note, BotW is not a free clipart
gallery, you need to ask the brand owner for permission before you
can use a logo in your design.
