oapeleo: Great work you are doing, sorry I have to take you back a bit but I will not advise anyone to go for a theme from a nulled website. most are infected with virus and malwares which can be used to hack the site. Imagine someone giving you something worth $50 without you providing something in return If you are still gonna go for a nulled theme, scan the file online (i cant remember the actual site but google search can give a clue) and make sure it is malware and virus free. Also whatever theme you are gonna be using should still be supported by those who built it. A good number of themes have 'expired', although they work. Am still learning and following. 1 Like |

arisetayo: you have a good website. but? 1. that logo is too big. a logo is supoz to be a small .png image. and do not add any info to your header. 2. work on your graphics, use high resolution images and dont merge two photos togeda 3. remove the add on your header. the whole header of your website is occupying my whole screen. try to reduce it. 4. you have so many adds. its discouraging to readers. it will make your website load slowly. 5. since its a blog, use this format. Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria Upward Review of Annual Practising License Fees I wish to formally inform you of the resolution adopted at the 5th plenary meeting of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria held on thursday 19th march, 2015 on the upward review of the annual practising license fees....readmore Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria Upward Review of Annual Practising License Fees I wish to formally inform you of the resolution adopted at the 5th plenary meeting of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria held on thursday 19th march, 2015 on the upward review of the annual practising license fees. ..readmore do not set it to display the whole content of the page. it makes a blog boring to read. 6. your side bar, should not only contain adds. 7. you forgot to add achieve list, widget to the side bar. create post categories too 8.

oapeleo:You're on point bro, but for the proposal aspect I think 2 pages is enough. Most companies will rather have you to brief about your proposal when it comes to web/software development. 1 Like |

Many of the so-called web designers in Nigeria today are there cos of the money not the passion. I'm sure most Nigerians web designers can't code from scratch, hence the need for WYSIWYG editor. If you wanna learn web design, please start from a basic understanding of HTML, CSS and go further with JavaScript and PHP. With these knowledge, you will be equip to build a WordPress of your own if you desire. Using CMS make you a lazy designer/developer except you have so many projects at hand. 1 Like |

oapeleo: Please review my blog, visitors can post comment from the mobile view. whats the problem? |
Re: How To Be A Successful Web-developer by oapeleo1: 9:29pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
Charpell: reviewing charpell.com its an awesome theme for what you are offering. You need a logo. too much text on header. your comment if not showing on mobile view, maybe because its too complex. you can use facebook comment converts the post comments to facebook comment instead. This wil encourage comments to your post. people dont want to go through the stress of filling in lots of info before commenting. each comments shows on the person who is comment facebook wall. thats a weird way of inviting his friends to your site DOWNLOAD: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/facebook-comments-plugin.2.3.1.zip |

For newbies, how to setup a domain name and web host PAID How to get a webhost on whogohost 1. visit https://www.whogohost.com/hosting/shared-hosting.php 2. For start up, select a cheap plan. i suggest you go for Aspire. its just 3000k yearly. ASPIRE FEATURES 1GB Webspace, means that your website has only a 1gig size. See your website like a phone for instance. With just 1g memory card to store images, videos, etc. Every thing you upload to your website will not exceed !gig. 4GB Bandwidth, The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of within a month. Therefore the amount of bandwidth you have (the bandwidth ‘strength’) determines the efficiency and speed of your internet activity – that is, when you open web pages, download files and so on. it reduces as people visit your site. so if your website is going to be a busy one, you might go for higher plans Free Domain, Registering a domain name, 4 Subdomains, a subdivision of a domain. if your website domain name is http://www.1123.com you can make other devisions like http://www.boy.1123.com http://www.girl.1123.com http://www.xyz.1123.com http://www.forum.1123.com and each could be different sites with different looks Unlimited Emails you can have unlimited customized emails like admin@1123.com, info@1123.com To order now click here on a separate tab https://www.whogohost.com/host/cart.php?a=add&pid=2&sld=&tld=.com.ng 3. register a new domain type the domain name into the box and select your extension and check availability. your extension could be any on the drop down, i suggest you take .com. Its unique. Note: you cant use a domain name that has been used before. you cant have facebook.com again. so dont try. go for something unique 7 Rules for Choosing the Right Domain Name Make the Domain Unique Only Choose Dot-Com Available Domains Make it Easy to Type Make it Easy to Remember Keep the Name as Short as Possible Avoid Copyright Infringement Reject Hyphens and Numbers 4, checking availability if it is available. you will have anoption to select the amount you want to pay and duration. It now shows 2k yearly dont select anyother extension and click continue 5, Choosee your billing plan. make sure N3,000.00 Annually (Free Domain) is selected 6, Available Addons they are there for a reason. selecting any will increase the amount 7, checkout right handside 8, update cart 9, put in your details under new customer. correct details please. And you should know your zip code. if not, google it. i found mine that way. “zip code for benin city”. if you are not on cloudflare, leave that column empty. 10, if you dont have a promotion code. leave empty. Select the payment method 11, tick I have read and agree to the Terms of Service 12, complete order 13, Print the invoice that delays next if you selected direct bank payment. Account Name: WhoGoHost Limited Account No: 0114023729 Bank: Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) OR Account No: 1013173318 Bank: Zenith Bank Once your payment is made, they will process your order within 24 hours and send you a confirmation email.
