It is Sunday morning here. There is no movement. I can’t go to Church because of the COVID-19. I just grabbed my PC to share some thoughts on the beautiful Hive. This COVID-19 restriction made me remember some years ago when I advised on teaching some of my associates to start Trading Forex and other things that could bring in money online. Most of them believe so much on physical businesses and they rejected the advice. Only two of them learned and we have been doing things together since then. Just some days ago, one of them messaged me, asking if there is a way I can teach him some things he can do online. I laughed because he would have been doing better now if he had started since when I advised him. Anyway, that isn’t my point today. Today, I just like to share a little thought on a basic error new web designer makes.
One of the minor issues that some new website designers often have is styling. I have been designing websites for 1 years +, and I have had this repeated issues whenever I am trying to move element and style some certain behaviors. Web developers that work mostly on the server side find doing styling on the front-end pretty hard. I have worked with many projects and have designed many UIs and Front-end application for my clients. Some times in developing a basic UI a back-end dev would see the basic moving of an object to be a mystery thing.
I wanna throw this question to the people: Have you ever try to move something and you feel like using your hands to push them to a certain place on your screen? If you have done that or feel that then you'd understand the part I am talking about.
People that are new to web designing still have these common issues. One example is the float: center; Many new starters still get this wrong and they ask questions on forums and channels about this basic styling. I also had an issue when I started. Sometimes, I spend hours on trying to move a basic element to a page center. While this is basic stuff many people still find it hard to solve. This a basic situation where text-align: center; or display: block; margin 0 auto; could do.
I am still very new here, but I think I would like to have a channel where developers and designers could be using to communicate. Building a front-end won’t be hard, but I might need support. I will think this through and see what I can do. We can make Hive stack overflow, perhaps: hive-overflow.
That would be it for now. I will come up with something nice soonest. I will make some contact and see what I can do.
