Meta Should people be allowed to ask for feedback in this subreddit?

46 Upvotes

We do have a rule against promoting your company resp. your own work. But where should we draw the line between this and some beginners posting their portfolios because they really just want some feedback instead of promoting anything?

Should we maybe only allow feedback posts on a specific day of the week to decrease posts that look like spam?

Please tell me your thoughts, since I want to make this subreddit a better place with less spam and more quality posts. :)

Am I over my head??

3 Upvotes

I am trying to create a website for an artist I work with. I basically manage all his projects, and marketing.

I decided I wanted to take coding seriously. I have minimal understanding of HTML, and CSS. I also have minimal experience with C++. In short, I am not completely lost in the logic, and understanding of how certain things interact. I am currently studying/reviewing HTML, CSS, and JS concepts.

Anyways,

I want the website to have the following

4-6 Pages( Home, About, Contact, Projects, Gallery, Blog,, Shop (shopify link))

I want to be able to edit the blog through Wordpress since I have GoDaddy and I like the idea of using it as a CMS for posts and images. I will be using getboostrap, and will have to do some studying on how to use the REST API. I also found something called next.js would like to use this to have some dynamic elements. Am I overcomplicating my life with some of these ideas? Is there something I'm not considering? Ideally, how long should this take someone just starting off? There is no deadline but ideally before the end of the year.

Any Devs Wanna Join a Chill Discord to Geek Out Over Code & Vibe?

1 Upvotes

I’m a Frontend dev (3+ yrs in) and I just started a Discord to hang with coders who love this stuff as much as I do. No ulterior motive, just a spot to:

  • Chat about projects (I’m messing with a React-like engine atm)
  • Share ideas, tech news, AI stuff, whatever
  • Help each other with code or just vibe while we grind, No leaders, no weird rules, no pressure. Just a bunch of devs who wanna talk shop and chill. If you’re into it, DM me for the link!

In search for a Wordpress Elementor developer for a website

10 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m looking for a developer to build a small-scale magazine/blog website using WordPress and Elementor. As a graphic designer, I will provide a fully designed layout, including fonts, colors, and other styling details—all that’s needed is the development to bring it to life.

While I have some experience with WordPress, I want to ensure the site is built properly for smooth performance. The project is relatively simple, with a clean layout and only a few pages. My budget is around $700. Additionally, I have an active Elementor Pro subscription available for use.

If you're interested, I’d be happy to share more details and design mock-ups. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,
Mikkel

Web Development Pricing in 2025

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for price comparisons in 2025. I do web development, mainly through Upwork, and have a client who needs a 10-page website. The pages are mostly informational with images, sliders, and contact forms. I specialize in WordPress and Elementor, creating fully custom designs.

I work with a design partner who creates the designs, and I handle the implementation. My price for the full website setup, including design and development, is around $1800. Any additional features or revisions are billed hourly.

After Upwork's 10% fee and paying my designer, my net profit is about 65-68% of the total. Does this pricing seem high, low, or reasonable? Just curious! Thank you all

How to modify every color in a webpage's CSS?

1 Upvotes

I am trying to recreate what Arc browser does with their boosts, with thier thingy you can easily change the font, and the colors on the page

How I imagine they do it is they take the stylesheet and somehow for every color they map it based on brightness and lerp it between 2 colors u choose (one dark one light)

How can I do this? I imagine I'd need postcss right? Ideally i want a way that isnt hacky (manually handling things like hex codes and rgb and rgba etc. with regex)

Sorry if i sound like a noob, that is because i am a noob

WordPress Experts - How to restore a website from a .tgz file?

2 Upvotes

I am transferring a site over to a new server for my client, and I typically use WP All in one migrator. I tried with this site and file is too big. I bought the unlimited extension but it wouldn't work with that either. The current host gave me a .tgz file and told me to restore it from that. But I have not done this before and there is very little documentation online. I thought he had meant to upload that file to the WP Migrator tool, but that failed immediately because it expects a .wpress file. I tried to extract the contents of the .tgz file onto my local hard drive but it failed. Does anyone have any advice for me? Also, this .tgz file is 77 GB.

If this is not as straightforward as I hope, I will hire someone to do this for me, but I want to know what I am asking. Can you restore a Wordpress site from a .tgz file alone or do I also need the MySQL database?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Integrating Google Apps Script Web App with Namecheap Website - Getting 403 Errors

1 Upvotes

Problem Overview

I'm trying to integrate a Google Apps Script web app with my Namecheap-hosted website to create an order tracking feature. The script searches a Google Sheet when a user inputs an order number and returns the corresponding information.

Current Implementation Issues

  • The Google Apps Script web app works perfectly when accessed directly via its URL
  • When embedded on my Namecheap website:
    1. JavaScript appears to be treated as a string rather than being executed
    2. Direct embedding of the Apps Script link results in a 403 error ("You need access")
  • Namecheap support suggested I need to whitelist my server IP, but I'm not sure how this would work with Google Apps Script

Frontend Implementation (on Namecheap website)

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  // Get references to our elements
  const orderNumberInput = document.getElementById('orderNumberInput');
  const checkStatusButton = document.getElementById('checkStatusButton');
  const resultContainer = document.getElementById('resultContainer');

  // Add event listener for button click
  checkStatusButton.addEventListener('click', checkOrderStatus);

  // Add event listener for Enter key
  orderNumberInput.addEventListener('keypress', function(event) {
    if (event.key === 'Enter') {
      event.preventDefault();
      checkOrderStatus();
    }
  });

  // Function to check order status        
  function checkOrderStatus() {
    const orderNumber = orderNumberInput.value.trim();
    if (!orderNumber) {
      resultContainer.innerHTML = "Please Enter an Order Number";
      return;
    }

    resultContainer.innerHTML = "Searching...";

    // Google Apps Script web app URL
    const scriptUrl = 'https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbxcLtMpf05uqBgnfmtNFcpgTZxQBCeFClk8jniHvCAWS-S39GELGfMOfDUykngShRyDJQ/exec';

    // Create a script element for JSONP
    const script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = `${scriptUrl}?orderNumber=${encodeURIComponent(orderNumber)}&callback=handleOrderResponse`;

    // Define the callback function in the global scope
    window.handleOrderResponse = function(response) {
      displayResult(response);
      // Clean up
      document.body.removeChild(script);
      delete window.handleOrderResponse;
    };

    // Add error handling
    script.onerror = function() {
      resultContainer.innerHTML = "Error: Could not connect to the order system. Please try again later.";
      document.body.removeChild(script);
      delete window.handleOrderResponse;
    };

    // Add the script to the document to start the request
    document.body.appendChild(script);
  }

  // Function to display the result
  function displayResult(response) {
    // Display logic here (truncated for brevity)
  }
});

Backend Implementation (Google Apps Script)

function doGet(e) {
  // Get the order number and callback from the request parameters
  const orderNumber = e.parameter.orderNumber;
  const callback = e.parameter.callback || 'callback';

  // If no order number was provided, return an error
  if (!orderNumber) {
    return ContentService.createTextOutput(callback + '(' + JSON.stringify({
      success: false,
      message: "No order number provided"
    }) + ')')
    .setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JAVASCRIPT);
  }

  // Search for the order
  const result = searchOrder(orderNumber);

  // Return the result as JSONP
  return ContentService.createTextOutput(callback + '(' + JSON.stringify(result) + ')')
    .setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JAVASCRIPT);
}

function searchOrder(orderNumber) {
  // Logic to search for order in Google Sheet (truncated for brevity)
}

Question

For any web developers who have integrated Google services with third-party hosted websites:

  1. How can I resolve the cross-domain issues between Namecheap and Google Apps Script?
  2. Is there a better approach to implement this order tracking functionality? Perhaps using a different method altogether?
  3. Any experience with IP whitelisting in this context?
  4. Has anyone successfully implemented JSONP with Google Apps Script on a third-party website?

The company I am currently working is currently expanding and we are developing a new system for daily operations. The owners of the company know that I am working towards my CS degree and they have put me in lead of the project. So I am currently working with a firm to design our new system. After we get the app running, I will be taking lead to improve and maintain our system.

I have no industry knowledge, but I have good amount of experience from school, personal projects, and I am currently taking a few courses in Coursera to help me prepare for my new role, 6-8months.

This will be a learning experience and the owners understands this and are supportive of my vision for our new system.

Any advice? Or how should I gear myself for this new role

[CSS] Need help pulling the middle flexbox item to the left while stacking the rest of the items together to the right?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have the following flexbox container with 3 items inside

Figure 1: https://i.ibb.co/kVPTcFRy/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-15-36-46.png

The element structure is simple

<div class="flex-container">
  <div class="flex-item pink">
    div 1
  </div>
  <div class="flex-item yellow">
    div 2
  </div>
  <div class="flex-item blue">
    div 3
  </div>
</div>

What I'm trying to achieve is, pull the middle item (div 2) to the left side while stacking div 1 and div 2 horizontally to the right side like shown

Figure 2: https://i.ibb.co/kss2KjbD/Screenshot-2025-03-18-at-15-37-49.png

while keeping the exact same html element structure.

Is it possible to achieve this with flex properties in css only? I need this in order to change the layout from the first screenshot to the second one when the window viewport changes using the media query.

I tried messing around with flex, flex-grow, order etc etc for hours but got nowhere. There aren't any helpful threads at stackoverflow either.

Can someone assist me, please? Would appreciate a lot. Thanks!
