Anybody know good forums on website design and management?

The only real one I can find over here seems to have the moderator and a handful of their favorite people posting (you know the sort). It is hard to get real replies to basic questions on important issues, like to do with commercialisation across different areas (which any commercial foot traffic site should know). So it is hard to learn off of them.

Surely there must be a professional group representing website owners with a forum?


Been meaning to set up some basic website stuff and blog for years. Now I'm under treatment for a sub condition of ASD I can start to do some things despite age, like learn JavaScript. :smiley:


Thanks again.
 
If you want to create a website, even one with a lot of rich media (video backgrounds, slideshows etc.) and e-commerce capabilities, just go with Squarespace dude. Has a great WYSIWYG editor (that simulates tablet and mobile surfing in browser) but lets you customise, inject code, muck about with CSS etc.

This way you can get something rock solid and pretty up and running in a flash, then get fancy with it as your js skills improve. As for learning js there's an ocean of cheap/free/paid resources to pick from. Udemy, udacity, code acaddemy etc.

If you want the community aspect and ask around/pick brains like we do on reduser go check out the relevant subreddits.
 
Thanks Eren, I was only asking about the pro community aspect. Takes a lot more than coding (got the free resources, and a target environment, but thanks for that suggestion) to make a website pay for itself, and generate some income. How are you going to find the absolute best advertising return if it is profitable (I can virtually guarantee 99.9% of the people wouldn't even understand what that meant if e correct answer unless somebody showed them, like 99.9% of the deals would be lame), or how to geographically tie in services and advertising to customers and prescribers by small local. Those are the sort of issues I need to talk with professionals on, to find who might have it right and mix and natch. Internet law is another issue that can bite any possible success. I'm looking at a range of levels over time.

Other issues are streaming services, and self hosting. Setting up a portable site you can swap between hosting companies and development packages without being tied down (there are various schemes they use to tie customers in, including copyright of graphics and code you might have gotten from a development package, and cheap hosting/store stuff). There a few others, which I forgot due to disruption. There are far too many winging it answers to these things that leave people more broke.
 
Thanks for ten redits suggestion, but I loath them. :smiley: But if that's were the big people hang.
 
Thanks for the Dreamweaver suggestion, but still after general professional ownership development forums.
 
You get a load of mixed recommendations from google, or you can ask people to share where they have found the good ones (something google doesn't seem good at). :(

I like Marc now, the rest of you guys can b off. Only joking, an old Australian type joke.

You finale answered something right after all this time according to the topic Marc. I'm shocked, that rarely happens around here.

So yes, I really should have asked for webmaster website owner forums? But this is a good start, and even if these people can't really help they should know where to go to find people that can.

One of those articles was funny, about professional forums. Then I thought what it was like around here.

Web design-related forums are a place where you interact with other designers, exchange ideas or discuss your first drafts. When you have a problem, you can post the issue, and then receive feedback on possible design or coding solutions from community members. This interaction is a great way to establish contacts and build relationships. Forums are used for networking and marketing purposes. They are practical places to solve problems and can serve as a form of social diversion. (Content Care Oct/13/2016)
