Designing To The Web Standards

Web standard is a general term used in developing or designing a website that affect its technical specifications, philosophy and trends. This practice is developed by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) with other groups and standard organizations to deliver numbers of benefits for web users.

The History

In the beginning, the internet was meant to be a place to share information for academics, researchers and the military. When internet was ‘open’ to public and became popular in the second half of the nineties, it has became a place to showcase graphic design. It was considered as an ‘online print media’. There was no CSS (Cascading style sheet) at that moment, and however it led to the abuse of HTML to show the visual presentation on the web. That was the time that table was widely used, especially when designers found that using “border=0″ could let them control the layout of a page. (more…)

New Beegamax.com is Up!

Finally, after 3 years of the old Beegamax website, we’ve finished the revamp and put it online. The new site is keeping its dark/black colours to retain its style. Besides, the dark colour looks classy to me :P.

I really like to adopt nature elements to this new website. That’s why you’ll notice a slight dark green colour and leaves sketches in the background.

It is not a fully flash site as a couple of versions I did before. Flash is used in the slideshows on frontpage only. I’m trying to follow the Web 2.0 design trends here.

The website is build up using css and div tags. It’s a tableless design in back-coding. In fact, I’ve built this website without designing the layout in Photoshop first. I did it directly in Dreamweaver. Photoshop is used in creating graphic elements only. Just trying out my skills anyway :P. (more…)

Beegamax.com - Domain Transfer Completed

We’ve just finished transferring the domain and hosting from a Singapore provider to a domain provider in Indonesia. The domain was hosted in Yahoo Small Business before. The process is pretty confusing at the start, but after reading from the Help section, contacting Yahoo Support and seeking around Google, I found it is not that difficult to do.

I’d like to share some points to take note if you need to do domain transfer in future:

• Make sure you have access to the domain control panel from your old registrar or domain provider
• Make sure your domain status in “unlock”
• You need to find the “Authorization code” or “domain secret” in control panel. Usually it’s a random characters and numbers
• You need to have access to the “admin email” of your domain, to confirm on domain transfer

If you don’t have one of those points above, it will be pretty hard to transfer across. Thanks to my old provider on sharing this information. (more…)
