Malaysia website design blog
Every day I’ll run through the employment opportunities section of the papers to see the demand of designers or programmers in the market. I’ve noticed very few advertise these jobs in the printed media anymore. Most of these jobs are likely to be found on Jobstreet or probably the newer Jobs and More website.
While I was walking today, it came to my attention that most employers are requesting for graphic designer with skills of being able to create website or ‘web page designs’.
A group of us had a small get together and started discussing about the future of online advertising. It’s great how Google has monopolized the online market and considerably push the opportunities you could get from online advertising.
While discussing about the types of advertisers that now exist from the Adsense type model to the ones like Chitika, we also started debating and questioning each other why we think not all corporate websites have hosted advertisements on their websites.
After all, it would make a lot of extra income for them, right?
My apologies for all these confusing titles. It’s the best description for something short and accurate and also non-cloned. Yeah, this another article that I’ve read somewhere and it’s to reach out to all Malaysian who’d like to be in the web development field.
I was just over at We Break Stuff (cool name) and finished reading one of the articles, Between information and design. It’s something for every arrogant. ignorant and annoying people who refuse to keep up with the web and listen to people who do.
Confusing ain’t it? Well, designers are known to come up with a conceptualize design solution for your design needs. Whether be it print, web, identity and etc. However, have you ever wondered if a designer who designs could actually be killing the design.
I found this opinion rather interesting after reading the article; Design Choices Can Cripple a Website at A List Apart.
They’ve removed the sign that says “Till We Meet Again” and the plushie bouncers beside the screens have been moved aside for a new breed of 9rules members. If your web tangled mind is still foggy and haven’t heard of 9rules, you probably need to read One Week to Become a 9ruler first.
The submission page is now open and it should close by midnight tonight, I think. So if you’re not part a blogging network just yet, probably here’s your chance.
This entry might already be late by 4 days but I suppose it’s something worth keeping over here in the case of anyone needing it. Scrivs who recently visited here and left a comment in my past entry, One Week to Become a 9ruler has put up a helpful article.
The article is some tips and perspectives the 9rulers look for in a submission later on.
Me and the members of Low Yat forums half the time finding members asking these very same questions,
“How much do you charge for a website?”
“What’s the current price to design (and develop) a website?”
Some of us have approached this question too many times. But is it really our fault that there is no standard website price? After all, what is a standard website and what does the standard package contain?
Fellow blogger and friend, Jonathan Ng of Beyond Simplicity (though might be switching to a simpler domain) has written a short review of Blogs Malaysia and started a rather interesting discussion in his entry, Web Designers and Blogs.
Firstly, thanks for promoting me and Stanch for the work done on the new metablog or blog network. I didn’t do much work since Stanch was in control of development. And it’s common that when you’re developing a website, you just can’t the sight of either border-ed DIVs or colored in a solid background. ;)
Anyway, the part that sparked interest in Jonathan’s topic was if ads and a web designer’s blog should gel together.
The news is out as of yesterday and is being circulated online by various key members of 9rulers. I got my update from 456 Berea St regarding 9rules round-3 submission. What’s this about?
Well, ever since they first started, 9rules has been about websites and the Internet. They’ve evolved and grown into a larger connection of blogs about websites to topics like psychology and other fun stuff. So what’s so exciting about becoming a 9ruler?
I’m back from Genting and I’m now down from the hill along with an accompanied cold. The sneezing and leaking faucet are the worst things of a flu. Just hope the next thing that develops isn’t a cough.
Anyway, how much do you pay your referrals?
I’ve been rather ignorant ever since I’ve been back from Melbourne, believing that one of the strict principles I should start are to not pay cash for referrals. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m not paying them for their gratitude but I tried to believe there’s more ways of showing appreciation.
