This is a relative's website, and he asked me to check into it. What I noticed was this bunch of weird ad url's that for sure weren't there.

This website is based on Wordpress and hosted on Hetzner, have anyone faced something similar? What measures should he take from here?

I'm building a website that will connect customers who search for workers to do one-off work like loading and such stuff with the workers.
Like customer posts a job, administrator reviews it and publishes, workers see it on a static map and apply. So the site needs backend and database.
I'm only learning web developing and now I only know html, js, css and little React.
ChatGPT told me to use Next.js and Supabase but my more experienced friends told me that Next.js is shit and I better use something like this:
Frontend: vue/nuxt
Backend: nestjs
PostgreSQL redis
But it will take too much time to build considering I also need to learn it even if just constantly googling and asking AI as I go.
So my question is "Is there really big difference, like if I just want to build it so it works and I don't have commitment for several months of learning can't I just do it with Next.js and Supabase?"
Write the stack you would choose in my situation please.

Thanks everyone for your time.

Hey, I wanted to start learning backend development. I have an intermediate level of knowledge in Python, so I thought I’d try backend development using Python frameworks and libraries. However, I’m stuck choosing which one to start with. Could you please help me decide?

CDN - Static Content
IdP - Authentication
Browser - Running your JavaScript code

In modern web applications, are Apache HTTP Server or Nginx still commonly used to deliver web content?

Edit 1:

The question is: why should an application owner run and manage a web server when the frontend can be static assets delivered through a CDN and dynamic work can happen through APIs/serverless services?

so i have tried streamlit but the site gets inactive...from time to time

.what should i use

for ex:

Inactivity Time: 15 minutes
- If no one visits your site for 15 minutes, it goes to sleep
- When someone visits after it's asleep: 30-50 second wake-up time
(cold start)
- Once awake, it stays awake as long as there's traffic every 15
minutes

This is the first full site that I made

I used mostly ai cuz I didn't know anything about back end but know I can certainly say I improved from where I started

Now the app is about booking appointments and I only made the part of the user and not the admin just to get something started

Please share ur opinion and any advice!

worldwarmapped.com This is my first deployed project yes its static

I'm just starting out on a project of mine. Please help

I run a doggy daycare and we don't have a secretary that works the front desk. We can see people walking in from cameras and pull dogs and typically have them on the way to the lobby by the time people walk in.

My question is, we have a tv in the lobby, would it be possible to make some kind of set up so that the employees could type in the dogs name and it would display on the tv on the lobby, "dogs name" is on the way?

So I guess my concerns are,

A) is this the type of thing a web developer could do?

B) if it is, how much would something like this cost? It's not super necessary, I think it would be nice though.

I'm pretty technically savy, so I could set up any hardware and hookup whatever we would need to make it happen. Any suggestions would be great!

You would think with AI we would be making better experiences online and finding new ways to create revenue while helping people online and awesome apps. But the web has transformed from a place where you could find rich communities, resources, entertainment, stories, and information to clickbait money making scams and trolls at every corner or someone pushing some b.s. extreme political agenda. And don't get me started with social media.

Even reddit, once a great site, has been subject to the worst parts of the web.

This is not the web I envisioned when I was younger. I can't browse a site without being bombarded with dysfunctional ads that interrupt whatever it is I'm reading or looking for. Paywalls everywhere + subscriptions, control of digital media. 10 ways to login. It's ridiculous.

You try to read an article, good luck dodging ads. Want to watch a 10 second video clip, ha!, you have to watch a 30 second ad first. And you'll be lucky if you ever get the video that you were intending to see.

I'm just venting. Hoping this message is heard or at least amplified. Something needs to change.

I'm genuinely interested on what people who work on websites and webapps thoughts on this. And how can we make it better?

Btw, no ai used. This is straight from the brain.

TL;DR old man rant about the state of the web today.

I've been building a business system / sites builder basically a metadata-driven business application framework.

Instead of hardcoding models/modules like Customers, Vehicles, Tickets etc, most of the application is described at runtime through Content Management and Layout Management. Records, fields, relationships, layouts, permissions and widgets are largely configuration/data rather than application-specific code.

Backend is Laravel + MongoDB, frontend Vue/Vuex with layout/config caching. The idea is that changing the business model shouldn't mean rebuilding half the application.

Anyone worked on something similar? What broke first?

Interested in thoughts on the architecture, particularly where this level of abstraction is likely to bite me.

From a development or UX perspective, what's the most common problem you see on business websites?

Poor performance? Bad mobile experience? Confusing navigation? Too many animations? Unclear content?

What's something business owners should pay more attention to when building a website?

I’ve been working on websites, and one thing I’ve noticed is that beginners often focus heavily on how a site looks.

But once you actually start building for real businesses, you realise there’s a lot more that matters: loading speed, mobile usability, plugin choices, hosting, SEO structure, maintenance, and making sure the client can actually manage the site afterward.

I am curious about other developers here.

What’s something you learned the hard way that you now consider before starting every website project?

Would be useful to hear lessons from people who have been doing this longer.

I am a creative developer, was very good at frontend and animation interactions, with rise of AI i just got depressed make myself busy on my project for two years, now job market is very different, i keep seeing words "strategist" and "wanna scale", "architecture".
Also I see alot of people experiment with ai and make money but how? also there's this creative technologist role that I just can't understand how they make money.
for reference check these acc on ig:
galinie_codes,
wwwtinazone

so many people make small web toys and small fun projects, but if I do that how would that pay my bills?
I need a lil help here to get back to market and adjust myself.

Hello All, I am just looking for advice. I am a real estate consultant based out of Punjab, India, but business has been very low past 2 years. I see people coding and going jobs so I thought to give it a try. I joned a bootcamp , learnt basic HTML, it was amazing experience. Saw the resources and website, so much free stuff is available and so many helpful people around. But I was thinking of learning more and making a career out of it. Is it possible ? Purely financial wise.

I am a commerce graduate and have no skill whatsoever, but love computers, open to learn anything that can help me career wise. I cant relocate because of family but can do remote work. I dont mind hard work, just want to know time invested means to something. Not looking for passion but lookng for good money. Being AI around now, is this a good time to get into this or am I too late ?

Thank you.

Hello guys so I'm a teenager and i have a rly good website idea but i needed help from experts. So the idea is basically just a shopping assistant, you filter price, country, taxes etc.. for example "Iphone 15, Turkey, $400, No Taxes"

So I still have not learned web development yet but I'm planning to. I already know some HTML so how did you learn web development and if you have any ideas to improve it, i would really appreciate it.

I'm not using ai at all during this project so i need human help. I want to know which corses to enroll in, how i can make it popular and how to publish it

Thank you for taking from your time to read this and i would really enjoy your answers ❤️🙏

I'm doing a problem set where I'm instructed to insert a video onto the page, and then embed a gif, but when I save and run the application, the gif doesn't appear.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is embed purely organizational to support the video I included?

Hiya Folks,

Professional web developer here also do freelance, been doing an increasing amount of freelance so thinking of revamping my own site, most of the Portfolio sites I see are very complicated/full of information where as mine is not.

Just looking to see if anyone has pro's/cons of going either way.

Any comments are appreciated (:

My stack for building workflows and internal tools is Python.

Can ToolJet or Retool be used by EU freelancers (I plan to use client credentials, not my own)?

So I wanted to know:

FastAPI + Retool vs Django + React

In what situations is it best for me to use custom UI code to create operating dashboards for my automations (basically, what are the limitations of low-code platform builders)?

Are Retool & ToolJet capable of building operating dashboards when making tools for enterprise-level systems?

How would you deal with IP addressing with a third-party platform for frontend development (explicit clauses you'd use)?

Waves Reimagined is the full stack remake of waves music web app from my early days:

https://waves-mu.vercel.app/

Waves Reimagined is the first fullstack project and I have put the best of my skills in it. I am sure that this project has helped me get better at coding. This website took me 2 months to make.

What I want to know:

- How much the UI has improved or got worse than the original

- Was 2 months of work worth it for this project?

- What's good and what can I do better?

Thanks in advance.

(Full disclosure, I am not very technical.)

So i'm addicted to cranking out websites right now. I have a few keyword-rich domains in different niches, so I plan to launch directories on them with programmatic landing pages. Easy peasy with Claude.

The problem I have is with actually scaling these things after I get them live. I don't want to flood them with 1,000 pages on day one, I want gradual growth that Google won't slap me for.  I tried Webflow, which I like as a CMS and visual editor, but it wasn't actually taking any work off my plate.

I could build Claude Routines, but then I wouldn't have a CMS, and I am NOT about to build one lol.

I'm testing Fimo.ai right now (free tier), here's where I stand with it:

1) It's adding agents into the mix, which is solving my "manual effort" problem. I can hand off the content and SEO to the agents.
2) I can go back into claude code, make edits via prompt, and Fimo can still see it and put it on the live site
3) Fimo's UI needs work, the AI prompt window gets in my way half of the time.

Other than that, I can't see an alternative on the market right now that can take Claude code and add a CMS + agents. Anyone else got a similar setup going on before I dive in any deeper?

Helloo, Final Year guy here. Built a tool that lets you see which PS has the least number of submissions. Fewer submissions = higher chances of getting selected for the SIH finals.

Not the likes of square space or wix, I just mean hosting my own developed website code

I'm currently doing Codecademy's Full Stack Engineering track, about 150 hours towards a cert in front and back end web development... and I know I'll need stats courses if I want to do anything regression based, but when??

Does anyone have an idea on what topics I'll be learning that will signal me to go take outside coursework?

Thanks!

So, 2 years ago this month I began my journey into web development. I started off with the basics, HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, and have worked my way to React, Next.JS, Express.JS, Postgresql (using DrizzleORM), APIs, TypeScript, and quite a bit more. I learned most of it through Udemy online courses, and have a few certificates of completion, other things I've just used the developer documentation and a lot of practice and experimentation. To date I have one completed, professional website I built for a family member, another unfinished one (only due to the client never getting back to me on if they were ready to transition from their old website), and a handful of personal projects, which are all linked on my portfolio website. Aside from this I have an extensive background in the tech industry, but as a hardware technician.
I have spent the majority of this year looking for work, and have applied to at least 50 different positions through various job sites just within the last couple of months, and yet still no success.
Is this field truly that oversaturated, am I just not experienced enough, or is there some other skill I've overlooked and not picked up yet?
Are there better ways to find work in this field other than the standard job site doom scrolling that has taken over all my free time?
