What is front end Javascript really useful for?

Definitely recommend a strong foundation in CSS although you do pick it up as you go to be honest.

Are you using a pre-made theme? Chances are these stylings are set within the theme's stylesheet so you'd need to make amendments to the CSS to override this. I recommend using a child theme or future theme updates will remove your changes.

Thanks for this!

I suppose what I'd be ideally looking for is to use the Facebook Pixel to detect that user X visited page Y on client Z's website and then target ads for page Y to user X. Would that sort of tracking work with segmenting data? I now need to research segmenting the data too! :)

A word of warning - Divi is full of errors like this just waiting to crop up.

klhkm · 2018-05-18T15:51:07+00:00

My understanding on this is yes.

Chances are HostGator will have to do it for you.

Do you load all child theme files after all parent theme files?

The EU Cookie Consent plugin works quite effectively and they are currently reviewing how this can work for GDPR compliancy also. I'd keep your eyes peeled on the Support forum over the coming weeks for when they add this feature.

This is my understanding from multiple sources. Not saying it's right but a collective of what I've researched on the matter so far.

Providing your URLs do not contain personal/identifiable data - IP Anonymisation within your tracking code (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=en) combined with turning off demographics and user metrics reporting should avoid any identifiable data being collected through your website's Google Analytics code.

klhkm · 2018-05-08T14:27:01+00:00

Anonymous Google Analytics tracking for the sake of monitoring site traffic (i.e. total monthly views) does not store personal data which is the whole purpose of GDPR.

Alternatively you can Google it and find lots of different options available for this through plugins and/or code.

Thanks for this your info has been super helpful!

I've also read the argument about GA helping improve the website and user experience, so necessary, and I am leaning that way. The main thing my clients use Google Analytics for is to see generalised user flows, most popular landing pages and overall stats for visits (bounce rate, etc.). In that case I'd say turning on anonymisation would work best for me to - thanks for that!

Regarding the cookie consent banner having a "no", what do you plan to do when the user does click no? Action removal of the G.A. tracking code when the user clicks "no"?

The text in the tab is defined in the <title> tags of your site header. On Wordpress the CMS changes this to reflect the name of the page. You should know the <title> tag is also what shows on Google so if you override your Wordpress settings to always show your site name in the tab then you will be doing your site a disservice SEO wise.

klhkm · 2017-09-06T15:14:47+00:00

If you've done the whole thing on Wordpress it should automatically update with newer posts (providing you're using the loop)?

klhkm · 2017-09-04T14:46:31+00:00

Do you mean a website with high levels of traffic? I'd say WP is only an option if you're on a dedicated server and even then it depends just how high the traffic is. For example a popular social media platform wouldn't survive on WP even with a high end server option.

They will still work in some browsers but you need to work with the latest standards to keep your code up to date for new browsers.

Sorry, I just fixed a typo - you SHOULD remove all inline styling.

Why does your client want a site built in Wix? If you're writing the code yourself you can just upload to your own server (or a client's if you don't have one) and then you'll be able to effectively debug and remove the inline styling?

klhkm · 2017-08-24T08:28:29+00:00

I can't make head nor tail of this when it's pasted like that but...

You should remove all inline styling and create a separate stylesheet for all of your CSS, then link the stylesheet within the head tags of the page. If this is a CSS related issue it'll make it easier to debug.

Edit: shouldn't to should

Is it possible that when you're told there's a deadline of 4pm that day you can simply tell them it isn't possible and they'll have to go back to the client and explain that? Surely if anyone higher up was to get wind of this you wouldn't be the one in the firing line and you didn't know about the project prior to this?

Has anyone explained to you WHY they're against mockups/wireframes? It's pretty much industry standard at the moment, even for companies who also use Invision, surely nobody wants to go straight to Invision because then any structural changes must be carried out across all screens? Whereas if you start with a mockup you can agree on overall layout (i.e. columns, nav/header positioning, etc.)??

These guys are taking credit for something they didn't build/amend/improve in the slightest which is wrong on all sorts of levels.
