From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design
If you're planning on setting up an ecommerce site, even if it's only to collect money for site membership, you should have an SSL certificate to protect your site and your customers. Most people won't input any credit card information into a site that isn't secure, but you can find SSL certificates for very reasonable prices.

The 10 Cheapest SSL Certificates
I don't recommend using self-signed certificates for https secure pages, but that doesn't mean that you need to go out and break the bank trying to find a good CA (certificate authority). There are some free ones and a few very reasonably priced ones, including two providers that offer extended validation (the green URL bar information). Find out which are the cheapest SSL certificates and which ones are worth the money.

How to Use Dreamweaver Image Placeholders
Dreamweaver image placeholders make it easy to create a new design without needing the images for that design until you're ready to build them.

Flash Websites - Pros and Cons
Writing a website in Flash only can have definite benefits - but it can also have large drawbacks. Use this article to determine if the benefits to your site outweigh the drawbacks. Use Flash when it adds value for your readers, not just when you want to show off your skills as a Flash developer.

Do you use time-clock software in your Web design work?
I've evaluated a few iPhone Time Tracker Apps, but there are a lot of other options out there for tracking the time you spend on your work. This is especially important if you bill by the hour. If you use a time tracker software, what do you use? Why do you use it? Vote Now View Results
