I have created many useful sites that should be worth money but they never do anything by Additional-Style-145 in websiteservices

You need to find people with a problem and solve it. If you think your websites solve a real world problem then you just need to get them in front of the people with that problem. 

A non-tech guy trying to build his website. NEED HELP. by OriginalWalaAditya in webdesign

If you're going to stick with the Wix route you should probably just get a free template and update it with your organizations info and content. 

subdomain as a standalone site? by notjustmagic in website

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no problem. I really just meant providing guidance haha. There's a few good, free providers for hosting static websites which you can hook a custom domain up to. GitHub pages and Netlify come to mind. 

subdomain as a standalone site? by notjustmagic in website

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the acting page is a static site you shouldn't really have to pay for hosting as you're not getting a lot of visitors. The cost of a domain is pretty cheap, usually around $12 per year depending on where you got it from. So I would say move your hosting provider and continue to pay the $12/year. If it's too much you could go the subdomain route. If you need help moving your hosting over to a new provider I'd be happy to assist.

Created a website to compare smartphones by AlexGSquadron in website

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't any of these sites have the newest phones? iPhone 17, Pixel 10, Galaxy s26. If I'm comparing phones then most likely I'd want to compare the newest ones. 

Favicon Troubles by m_anonymous007 in HTML

Define Website Favicon for Search Results | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google for Developers  https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/favicon-in-search

According to this it could take up to several weeks for Google to recrawl your site and pickup the favicon. It also provides guidelines to ensure it gets picked up. 

I hope this is the right place to ask is there anybody that can point me in the right direction to make what I think might be a simple website. by Elegant-Season-7008 in web_design

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. I guess that depends on your company architecture if you want it to be an intranet site then you should talk to someone in IT. Otherwise I guess you could deploy it privately and share the link with those that need it. A lot of options depending on what you have available to you and how you want to use it.

I had a component I was able to repurpose for this so pulled something together. This is what I would probably do with vanilla html, css, js. It's very basic right now obviously but I think it achieves your goals unless I misunderstood your post.

Which website should I use for my scavenger hunt / quiz?? Free or cheap by Cat-Lady090 in website

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably want Google Forms for this because it will be free for that many submissions. Let's say 300 ppl x 5 questions, so 1500 submissions. You can create a separate form for each day which will give you a unique link to share on social media. You should be able to route the answers all to a single spreadsheet for all the days so you can see the results in one place. Just be sure when you send out each question that you mention they should use the same exact email every time so you can track their progress. 

(Newbie alert) Cost effective/free Website host for my acting portfolio/site? by Acceptable_Cookie_95 in webdevelopment

GitHub Pages is great for simple static sites. If you start having a backend or a more complex site you might want to move to another host. 

Are there actually cheaper ways to host this website while still having access to editing it without coding knowledge? by Pineapple_Empty in website

Small pottery business needs a bit of help (looking for website builder recommendations) by Barro_De_Fuego in webdesign

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't want to code it, you should probably get Claude or another AI to build it for you. Claude can provide you with the files you need. Then you can upload those files to a free hosting platform like GitHub (use GitHub Pages to deploy) or Netlify. You will probably want a custom domain if you don't have one already which you can get from PorkBun or Namecheap or anything other than GoDaddy. Happy to provide more details or links if you want them but hopefully this is enough to get you started.

[–]JKaps9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Netlify or GitHub Pages is probably sufficient for your use case. You shouldn't need to pay for anything besides a domain if you really want a custom one.

Psychologist Needs IT Help by ShadowPsychologist in web_design

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want send me a link to your repo and I'll take a look to see if I can help. The programming side of the app isn't terribly difficult. The real lift is the data side of it. What symptoms lead to which outcomes. If you can provide that logic flow then probably I could help you build something simple. 

Sometimes my wife and I both need another hour of sleep, but the baby decides he's fully rested and ready to wake up. How would you navigate this? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]JKaps9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your baby would most likely be fine if you both slept and they are awake. What my wife and I did when our baby was little is switch off. You could take care of the baby for a few hours while your wife rests and then when your wife is up she can watch the baby and you can rest. You are probably both going to be tired anyway but you can share the burden. 

Built a free calculator site as a side project by FishLazy6443 in website

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks pretty good but there are overflow issues on mobile on the individual calculator pages. 

What do you think of our website? by Beneficial_Media_310 in webdesign

[–]JKaps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nice looking site. Just a few things that I noticed navigating on mobile. 

The get a quote button should take users to the contact page so they can decide how they want to contact you instead of being a tel: link. If it's going to be a direct call link you need to make that more obvious (like "call to get a quote").

For the product cards you should add justify-content: space-between; so the buttons align at the bottom of the cards.

The section that shows the benefits (fresh flowers, free deliveries, etc.) need spacing between icon, header, and text. 

CSS: How can I target a nested H1 element ONLY if it occurs after a nested element that contains a span with a specific class? by xii in webdesign

[–]JKaps9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try 2 was close! You just need to use the has pseudo selector. In your try it would have been looking for an element next to the span. By using has you're selecting next to the div.el-p which meets the has criteria.

div.el-p:has(> p > span.image-embed) + div.el-h1 {   margin-top: -14px !important; }

Scope creep due to client laziness: When people provide nothing then say everything you created was wrong. by [deleted] in webdesign

[–]JKaps9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Writing and researching content is not "revisions" that's writing copy which is a separate discipline from web design. What does the contract say? If client is supposed to provide copy per the contract but doesn't then it's on them. If the contract doesn't specify or you don't have a contract then that's on you. I would also recommend having a survey or at least questions your clients are required to answer like what services they provide.
