Web Design Help

Just found a really good site that could help me in the upcoming web projects we have. It's called Go Mockingbird and is basically a website that allows you mock up how you want your website to look and you can change bits of it when you want to. Better than using pen and paper as if you want to change stuff it's just a simple click not rubbing everything out or starting again. Click here to check it out.

Haven't posted on here in a while.... Oops, been quite busy trying to design my website which I'm finally happy with, plan to have all the HTML and CSS done by the end of half term, then I can go onto the PHP, MYSQL and jQuery of it all. Should be all ready by the middle of November hopefully so I can test it ready for it's hopeful launch (30th November.) Might even do a Christmas background to give the site a more Christmas feel.

Thinking of different functionalities that I will one day have to add to the site and there's a fair bit. I'm going to need a PHP or jQuery which detects the date, if the date is December 1st - Jan 5th then I want to give it a Christmassy type background, if the date is Feb 1st - Feb 15th it'll have a valentines day theme to the site.

Another functionality I will eventually want to add to the site will be a checkout as guest feature. At the moment I'm unsure how I'd do that so I'll stick to having to register for now. The users won't get spammed with emails but some users don't like the fact that they have to give out information to a site which they may only use one time.

A way I thought up of having people maybe wanting to join up is their final input to site functionality. Should we be wanting to release a new feature to the site but are unsure on what we may put a survey asking what people would like most of all. This should give the users a better feeling of interactivity to the people who run the site.

The company is also going to have several social media platforms that people may contact us on should they wish to, we're planning on using Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Blogger.
