Nikoport

This month is a very busy one. I have got quite a number of projects to work under, that i do not have much more free time as i thought before. I am going to publish a complete new web site, as well as some updates to the sites i am supporting at the moment, besides that the work for Scatti Design and Web Caravela Design are in progress, as well as Pintaroxo might come online in early March. Some updates i am going to do may include some serious changes in the business logic, which will occupy some serious time, and i am already starting thinking about managing it all in a reasonable timeframe, as i am interested in opening an interesting online project, completely in portuguese, during one of the summer months.

A new page is being created by collaboration with Scatti Design and its called in portuguese “Chama Talento” - in english it translates something like “Pick a Talent”. It is going to be a small store in the center of the Lisbon, selling ropes and shoes for the artists and dancers. I think that we made pretty nice site, and though there are several important things are missing and the shop is still not ready, i belive than in the next 10 days, everything is going to be fine and working.

I am considering of moving the 1.0 Transitional type to the 1.0 Strict, after reading several pages on the net about their reasons to move away from the transitional Dtds. I totally agree with such arguments and as i was caught by this idea in the middle of the work for this site, i still decided to finish it this way (i aint got much time for sudden changes), but as i will get some time, i wish to make the move.

In the mean time if you are dancing flamenco or thinking about starting to dance and need some shoes or ropes - check them out.

After almost a year of staying with a design of nothing special but just some changes and adjustments from some free open source design, i have decided to make some major changes and make a complete web design of my own.

Most probably i am going to ask a friend of mine to help, and its surely going to take some time - i believe that i am going to have a new design online in the first days of november, we’ll see. I am excited to make some changes to this site, to remake it completely as by now i dont really like the current design as i did in the past february.

Also i felt like there are way too much centered designs, so i am thinking about something left-based fluid design, which would have nothing to do with the current state of the Nikoport.

TARH lda is the name of the firm, for which i am currently making a web site. TARH stands for “Terra, Ambiente e Recursos Hídricicos”, which is something like “The Earth, the Environment and the hidric resources” in english. Currently the still is under construction, we are still missing the fotos and some dynamic content, probably a small blog and so on. If anyone by any chance would visit and give me some critics i would be more than happy to hear it. I feel a big need to improve and i believe that critics is the best way to do it (as well as the hard work in the right direction) =O)

I am starting investing my time into SEO and it seems to be an interesting area, but which deserves a lot of time and experience to master.
