Absolutely stunning as usual.

Reason # 331 why I love my desktop website builder as opposed to WordPress or anything web-based...

Short story - because the website is automatically backed up on my desktop.

Long story (and not the first time a client of mine has been through this)....

I normally set up hosting under my ...

Rob

personally I don't mess with scaling. I set font size in each breakpoint. 18 for largest, and 14 for mobile. But that's just me.

Thank you.

Rob

I just noticed that if you delete an installed extension from WYSIWYG, but not from the page in the working project file, it renders that page invisible next time you try to open the project file. Even if the page is an old sub-page - the parent page disappears as well.

Other than simply not ...

On page SEO - my best practices:

- Unique, Page specific, keyword rich (but not too long) page titles (<70), descriptions (<150), keyword tags (<15 phrases).
- Only 1 H1 tag per page, but add h2 and h3 tags also
- Canonical tags
- ensure pages are NOT set to noindex / nofollow (via page ...

Thoughts on letting him purchase and download a copy of WB and hand over a copy of the working file? Or could put that working file on a shared drive in the cloud?

You'll always be a safety net to send a backup if something breaks.

Just a thought.

Rob

Since 2013 here (WB9 I think). Not quite as old as some. Still my favorite and go to software.

Thank you Pablo for continuing to make this web-builder the best.

How do you deal with your website files on your desktop? Folder management?

For me, I have each client site in a folder, and within that folder, is a WB-Client folder as well as a backup folder where I put a copy of the WB_Client folder as a backup. My entire desktop is then backed up to an ...

Master Page or Master Frame? and why?

Edit:

I myself use a master frame because that is what was introduced to me by the pros when I first joined way back in WB8 / WB9.

Master frame with header / navigation, content place holder, and footer.

Thank you Pablo for setting me off on the right ...

Rob

Redirect index.html to the root domain so index.html does not show. Deals with duplicate content issues. Make sure the canonical tag matches the root url. Technically Google Webmaster Tools doesn't like this kind of redirect through.

I also redirect the 404 to the root url for UX purposes. I worry ...

Would any WYSIWYG web designers be interested in custom branded SEO reports for your clients?

What SEO software do you use?

Rob

I actually don't use the cache portion of this file. Instead I add the following to the meta tags on the masterframe page... (seems to do well enough)

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0 ...

This is what I put in mine, and it seems to work pretty well for the most part....

Just thinking out loud - on the anti-aging and products page, the main image on each page respectively, to have each image separate in a justified gallery as opposed to 1 large image? That way you can see each image a little better in smaller breakpoints.

Rob

The system folder should be located in your "documents" folder on the desktop.

To confirm, in WB, go to Tools - Options - Files and Folders. This will tell you where your WB Sys folder it.

Go to this folder.
Rename the blocks folder

Just to add to Rob's points - I have not had a good experience with people on this forum requiring a website - I built a full site for someone from here and not only he did not pay but simply said is this the best you could do?

So I have stopped offering - My experience is some think they can do ...

Pablo and BF - if I am out of line in or speaking out of turn in making the first post let me know.

For me, the purpose of this thread is to add your name as a professional, experienced, resource to other WYSIWYG users who need help or want to outsource their website design and development in ...

I am with Bluesman on this let's keep it simple. Keep it open for all registered users only. Just because you have a high star rating doesn't necessarily mean you are a great developer it simply means you are a frequent poster in the forum. A registered user could have two stars but could be a ...

It was my thought process to have something like the extensions list. I am not sure who has access to update it and how that is done, but that was what I had in mind. If anyone can just add a post, it can get out of hand quickly. Someone should be in charge of vetting the list and be the point of ...

We need to have a thread (pinned to top) dedicated to listing the pros on here available for work or help and what their area of expertise is.

Thoughts?

Various print on demand stores. Zazzle is one. Cool stuff.

Been working with WB since V 9 in 2013. Still love it.

I don't normally post my work on here (scared of negative feedback) but thought I'd share 3 redesigned websites I did for my wife and her ventures...

Happy new year to my friends, family, clients and potential clients.

Beautiful work. Not a typical brochure website. As such, just be mindful of your UX and where you want your visitors eyes to go with what action in mind. Again, well done. Very cool.

Rob

Awesome work... well done.

@Crispy

I also subtract 20px for a scroll bar. Great minds think alike. For the larger breakpoints, I've enlarged the font so it is not so small on a larger screen. That helps fill the space so it looks "good" on larger screens as well as the small ones.

Rob

Boy, I must really over do it then. I use 1900, 1500, 1260, for desktop / laptop,
1024 / 768, for tablet,
and 480 / 320 for mobile with layout grids / flexbox.

Next year with WB19, I plan to add 2600.

Overkill?

Side question - do you like to activate the breakpoint when it is larger or ...

besides, meta tags for page title, description, and keywords needs to be page specific. no duplicates. a rule of seo.

so many articles point the average users (nontechies?) to believe wp is incredibly simple

Technically there are "builders" for WP that make it "simple" but 1 - that doesn't take away from what WP is, and 2 - the builders often use bloated code - to a point made earlier.

Glad to lend an ...

Rob

So not to be a "late to the party" but "WordPress" always perks my ears and not in a good way. My issue with WP is that you MUST keep it up to date lest it be hacked (a nice money maker), HOWEVER, if you do - most likely it will break. The WP platform must agree with the server settings, which must ...

Beautiful work as always Z.

Although I have not yet seen Wb18, I am sure it is awsome as usual. I hope everyone had a restful illness free Christmas and further hope everyone has a successful new year for 2023.

One of my favorite things about the desktop website builder that I have is the automated "backup" offline (and not relying on the server to do so).

So, if the host screws up and deletes the hosting account that was attached to the reseller account that was just removed, a back up of the website ...

This is the code I use, and it seems to work well with GoDaddy (linux): it does the following:
redirects index.html to root url
redirects non-www to www
redirects http to https
redirects "page not found" to root url (this is not the best way, you should redirect to a 404.html page that has a "no ...

Thank you Pablo,
I found the reason: my router firewall. When I disable it, everything looks good. You can marked this topic as resolved.

yes - https://www version of the site is the canonical tag. htaccess to fwd from http to https and non-www to www.

Then, in Google Webmaster Tools, add all 4 versions of the website, but submit sitemap and request indexing of the https://www version of the website. This is the one that should be ...
