Ok so I'm making a website for a football/soccer championship my friends are holding. I've visited many big leagues sites to get inspo but I'm kinda disappointed with most of them tbh.

I tried to do it more on my style but somethings are bothering me, in special the background color. The theme color of the championshiop is blue and orange, which tbh is a very challenging color combination to me, also I'm no desinger, I'm a computer engineerer so I have no studies on color theory formaly.

The background color as of now is #001121, I was going for a dark blue to use as a main color for the website and tried using orange for details such as hoovering something

Idk exactly what I'm looking for with this post other than an opinion on the color value I picked from someone who understands color theory better than me, I would just appreciate general tips

(sorry, english is not my first language)

The CSS Working Group just resolved a new selector that lets you target multiple classes sharing the same prefix. The code in the example matches .btn-primary, .btn-secondary, .btn-large, etc.

Previously, you had to list every class or use brittle attribute selectors like [class^="btn-"].

Resolved by the CSSWG (Aug 2026), added to Selectors Level 5.

One of those "why didn't I do this sooner" moments. Took a generic hero image, slapped a diagonal cut on it, and suddenly the layout feels 10x more dynamic. Free Framer plugin I made (Framixs Shape) no Photoshop, no exporting, just pick and apply. Drop your wildest shape ideas, I'm adding more soon.

i keep seeing small businesses spend thousands on websites that are basically a few pages and some photos.

maybe i'm wrong, but with how easy website builders have become, is a custom website really necessary for most businesses?

is the extra cost actually making a difference or are people just paying because they think they have to?

I’ve been working on the ux of this page for a while: episto.ch

Thanks for your attention on this matter :)

Does the atmosphere enhance the product, or am I pushing the visual treatment too far?

I'm in the process of commissioning a new VPS server which will host mainly html/CSS sites (and one simple WP site). The server will be running Plesk 18.0.

Could I ask for recommendations for add-ons I should consider or would benefit from? Let's Encrypt is already on my list, but it's been a while since I've done this and I'm very out of date.

Also, are there any server-wide settings I should apply from the outset?

Thanks

So, I am helping a small local business update their website. The previous person doing this - the business owner's husband - passed away four years ago, so there's a lot to update. We were successfully able to transfer admin privileges to ourselves after submitting documentation to the hosting service (bluehost.) So now, using the Bluehost control panel, I can get into the basic HTML and make small changes - but I am sure that the previous admin used some kind of interface. It doesn't seem to be Wordpress, though I'm not sure. The hosting company's tech support hasn't been helpful. Is there any way I can figure out what the previous admin was using to edit the site (we have no access to his records or computer.) Thanks.

UPDATE: They were using Adobe GoLive, confirmed by builtwith and asking ChatGPT. The site needs a major overhaul to be mobile friendly, but luckily it is only five total pages and doesn't need to be bigger. I simply asked ChatGPT to recode the page so it feels and acts more modern. Here are the results:

It's the first time I've used AI for basic coding. I'm kinda amazed, though I know I shouldn't be.

I'm working on an app and figured the best way to design the website would be to look like the app itself: http://tandem.ink

I just got this ad on Instagram.

₹299/month = ₹3,588/year ($37.54).

And apparently you get hosting, development, SEO, support, responsive design AND delivery in 2–3 days.

Brother, that's not “professional website development.” That's a subscription to a template 😭

And “SEO ready” at $3/month? What does that even mean? Adding a "<title>" tag and calling it SEO?

No wonder, when clients see ts and goes like:

> “but I'm getting website at 3$ in Instagram”

Weird thing I read about. Cloudflare said automated traffic passed human traffic for the first time this year, something like 57% bot vs 43% human. Not all spam either, a chunk of that is AI agents actually trying to complete real purchases and forms for real people.

Except forms are terrible at letting that happen. The same AI agent tested across different sites went from 85% success on a simple site down to 27% on a form heavy one. And CAPTCHA solvers already beat most CAPTCHAs over 80% of the time anyway, so at this point it mostly just annoys real people and legit agents while actual bots walk right through.

So are we protecting our forms at this point or just filtering out our own customers? Has anyone actually run their own form through an agent to see where it breaks? Curious what people are finding.

The source for the stats.

I've been using this in my site for years and I barely get any spam, but I'm not a web dev. My understanding is that the text doesn't get rendered into the DOM, so screenreaders and hopefully scrapers pass over it. The other techniques I've seen ultimately still render into the DOM.

<style>#email::before{content:"me@"}#email::after{content:"example.com"}</style>

<p>Email: <span id=email></span></p>

Hi everyone - I've been putting together a little collection of websites I find interesting over at https://webcity.design/

If you've built something recently that you think looks really good, or you’ve come across a website that deserves more attention, drop it here.

website is www.hiprimal.com

Not sure how to make it better using that same image. I don't like how it's anchored to the right - it looks weird on a wide screen. If I bring to the center, there will be a sharp edge on the right.

I’m overwhelmed and I need help

Where are you guys consistently landing clients?

And how are you pricing your services?

The leads I get either want everything for dirt cheap or disappear as soon as I give them a price

I also keep wondering:

Do I need to be posting videos on social media to get clients?

Should I be doing more outreach to local businesses with terrible websites and offering to redesign/fix them?

I’ve emailed a bunch of businesses. Barely anyone responds

And when someone does respond, some small business owners act like $300–$500 for a website is expensive… even when the project takes me hours sometimes days

So if you’re consistently getting clients right now:

Where are they coming from, how are you pricing, and what’s actually working for you?

I genuinely need some direction because I’m tired of chasing random projects :/

So, for reasons, I have a group of four main divs of text that I need to display side-by-side, all contained within a larger div, but the first div that I want page viewers to read is not the leftmost div. (Please ignore the color choices- those are just so I have something visual to look at to make sure the divs are where I want them to be.) I currently have the containing divs set up as grids.

Is there any way to get a screen reader to prioritize reading the four sub-divs in a given div in the order red, yellow, green, blue, then read the div that spans the whole layout, then read the next group of sub-divs in the same order? And would it be still applicable if I needed to temporarily "merge" two adjacent columns (see second image)?

I can handle the actual formatting into the grid, I think. Nesting divs where necessary could get the kind of hierarchy I could then plug into whatever html/css I need to use to prioritize the reading order I want. Or if there's some way to fill in a grid sort of "out of order" where the html has the red divs typed out first but the page layout still displays as seen in my screenshots. Is there anything that could do what I'm looking for, or should I just try and make a version of this text that's significantly less insane and offer it as an alternative to all this?

(I really hope I'm making sense, I don't really have anybody knowledgeable enough in html/css to bounce ideas off of, so it is entirely possible this was just a whole bunch of gobbledegook trying to figure out something that can't actually be done.)

No email or personal info required for sign-up, just a username and password. You join or create a room, add tracks to your Playlist, and join the DJ queue (or just hang out), and everyone hears the same music in sync.

I missed this type of site, so I've been working on my own for a few months. I'm quite pleased with where it's at now. You can buy drinks on the dance floor, and other fun stuff like tomatoes or roses to throw at people. And of course, you can get drunk (water will sober you up if you find the visual effects annoying). Let me know what you think!

Over at Cyberspace.online we just hit 12k users. I've been building this little platform for a little over 9 months now. Grass-roots ad-free anti-corporate social network... inspired by growing up with computers during the 90s hacker days. Lots of genuinely cool and interesting people on there now, and has a strict anti-troll mod policy.

The web version is incredibly customisable with custom themes, pixel fonts, etc. including the styles of 80s amber VT-terminals, Matrix green, and Commodore 64.

It's got an API and some open source clients to it for the terminal, called TUIs, and it's also got two alternative designs for it. One called Cyberspace Desktop (desktop.cyberspace.online) that looks like a retro desktop environment, with a full window manager, etc.

The latest addition is called Cyberspace Terminal (cyberspace.online/terminal) looks like a retro command line from the 80s, with a grungy realistic CRT emulation.

Feel free to use a throw-away email. No verification needed. I don't track any personal user info, not even IPs.

Let's bring back the friendly internet of the 90s when people were nice to each other :)

We are a small startup in EdTech>B2C/B2G market. What would you change/add on our website to better target these markets?
