T hese guys deserve credit; this theme: Suffusion WordPress theme by Sayontan Sinha is the best, most user friendly, feature rich, customizable theme I have found: I have just changed mine to this one instead of the one I built from scratch, and I will be using this one for most WordPress setups.

In Two and a half hours I have done all three of these sites from scratch using this theme, which also allows for different numbers of columns, different widget areas, and any other modification you like, with check boxes that activate built-in style sheet and a blank CSS that automatically overrides the others:

You can change sizes, numbers, and colors of sidebars, widgets, components with the checking of a box, wonderful time saver.

We’re not interested in building the cheapest possible website; we want to build you the best site possible within your budget. Your website will be powerful, targeted and professional. More importantly, it will accurately represent you and your company, something that is painfully missing from most modern web design.

You already know the Internet is full of bland and un-exciting web pages where generic content can literally be cut and pasted onto any competitor’s site. To distinguish ourselves from the plethora of other web design sites, we have written articles, guides, and posted real information to provide you with some insight into our web design philosophy, knowledge, and experiences.

We focus on creating both beautiful and functional websites. The code for your website will be standards xhtml. The animation, if you choose to use it, will be in flash. The SEO will include article marketing, link building, blog creation, and more. Everything is done by one or two designers or writers, saving you the time, expense and hassle of going through a large web design firm.

For the last 10 years the question of whether to use fixed or liquid layouts when designing a website has raged on in the web design world, with major design players on both sides of the proverbial fence. Recently though, as screen resolutions have increased dramatically, fixed layouts have all but replaces liquid, but there are still come major advantages to a liquid layout if designed properly.

Preliminaries:

When I use the term “containing” elements, I’m referring to the columns or boxes that hold the text, images, and other content. Containing elements may have borders and background images, but are usually just the visual containers for the important content on the screen.

Fixed width layout:

In a fixed layout, the size of each “containing” element on the webpage is specified exactly. The page will not change when you resize your browser window. It will essentially look the same on any browser or computer.

Liquid layout:

In a liquid layout, the size of the containing elements changes depending on the browser size and user preferences. The container size increases when viewed at larger screen resolutions and decreases when the browser is resized.
