ABCO Technology - A small project for a Community Information Center Site

This project will be a great practice for all users in HTML / Adobe Dreamweaver.  For mor information on the project, or to just let me grade it, you can email me at ABCO Technology asayed@abcotechnology.com

Before you Begin
If you are doing the site using Dreamweaver or any other Web / HTML editor, define the site and the site root folder.

Work Order
It is important for every web designer to design the layout and the content using CSS for more efficiency.  You need to ensure that the content on your site is properly formatted.  Design an Information Center Page.  You should start with a banner of the site, providing information about the city of Los Angeles, its temperature during various seasons.  In addition to this, include copyright information, along with a Privacy Policy link on the site.  Please ensure that the files contain proper HTML markup tags.  Include other information content on the site for new visitors.

In addition to the home and information page, include upcoming events on the events page.  Ensure that proper navigation is setup to ensure that information is easily accessible for the site visitors.

For more information or assistance in this regard, please contact ABCO Technology at 310-216-3067.

How to get started with your own graphic and Web Design business from ABCO Technology

Often students at ABCO Technology enrolled in the CIW Program wonder how to start  your own business, and abvoe all how to get started.  I thought occassionally, it would be a great idea to give some tips and pointers about getting started with your own web design / graphic design business.  Now before we get into some good tips, I'd like to inform everone that the training that you receive in classroom is the key to your success. As students know that all programs at ABCO Technology CIW Training are designed to give students the hands-on approach.  Now, it also then becomes the responsibility of the student to spend some time at home, and complete the classwork and homework asssigned to the student.  This would be the first step in preparing yourself to become a professional. 

Initially, after you have developed the skills, there are a few preparation steps that you will have to do in order to further your business.
  1. Create a Nifty Name for your business
  2. Register your business as sole propeitership / corporation
  3. Design and Create your business cards
  4. Design and Develop your own website
  5. Create a portfolio to showcase to your clients
  6. Create email newsletters to be sent to your clients
  7. Blog and social network your site
The afore-mentioned are pre-tasks before you start your own business.  In the weeks to come, I'm going to write some short descriptions about each of these tasks in more detail.  If you have any questions leave me a comment or visit the abco technology website

How to display date and year on a web page using JavaScript - Project level Basic"

Last week, I had requested a project for students to display the date using the date object in JavaScript, on an order details page. Here is the solution to the project:

In the .js file or the head script stream, enter the following code-

1> orddate = new Date();
2> dispdate = orddate.getMonth() + 1 + "-" + orddate.getDate() + "-" + orddate.getYear();

Further in the body stream of the html file the date can be displayed using the DOM innerHTML =+ dispdate or using the document.write method.

Addition: With the document.write method a table is being created displaying the order date. This can be in the init function of the js file. The code is as follows

  1. document.write('<html><body><table align="top" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="7">');
  2. document.write('<tr><td><font color="#ffffff" size="4" face="verdana">' + "The Order Date is: " + dispdate + '</font></td></tr>');
  3. document.write('<tr><td><font color="#ffffff" size="4" face="verdana">' + "The Delivery Date is 3 days from the order date" + '</font></td></tr>');
  4. document.write('</table></body></html>');
