Internal news, a new contract to continue working on a new standards based website.
Well, it's been a good week here at fiftyfoureleven. We're updating some past work for a website about the Costa Blanca area of Spain, and we've signed a significant maintenance contract with an existing client.
This group, which specializes in selling property in Spain, originally brought us on board to make their site more search engine friendly.
We worked with their staff to do a quick redesign (with the help of Basecamp), focussing on cleaning up the structure without changing the look or content too much from the old site (follow the above link and hit the Russian site, it's still in the old form).
While there are aspects of this new page that can be improved upon, it now validates and has 'more semantic' markup, and it is styled, of course, with CSS!
For the next phase, a new image and redesign are in the works (less arrows, more sexy ;-), as well as some user testing, reworking of the content to target user proflies (under way) and improving some other aspects that right now leave a bit to be desired (untranslated error messages, for example).
Needless to say, we're excited about having a client on board who is looking to do things right.
Sitepoint's web devlopment books have helped me out on many occasions both for finding a quick solution to a problem but also to level out my knowlegde in weaker areas (JavaScript, I'm looking at you!). I am recommending the following titles from my bookshelf:
I started freelancing by diving in head first and getting on with it. Many years and a lot of experience later I was still able to take away some gems from this book, and there are plenty I wish I had thought of beforehand. If you are new to freelancing and have a lot of questions (or maybe don't know what questions to ask!) do yourself a favor and at least check out the sample chapters.
The author line-up for this book says it all. 7 excellent developers show you how to get your JavaScript coding up to speed with 7 chapters of great theory, code and examples. Metaprogramming with JavaScript (chapter 5 from Dan Webb) really helped me iron out some things I was missing about JavaScript. That said each chapter really helped me to develop my JavaScript skills beyond simple Ajax calls and html insertion with libs like JQuery.
Like the other books listed here, this provides a great reference for the PHP developer looking to have the right answers from the right people at their fingertips. I tend to pull this off the shelf when I need to delve into new territory and usually find a workable solution to keep development moving. This only needs to happen once and you recoup the price of the book in time saved from having to develop the solution or find the right pattern for getting the job done..

Looks good!
