HI Penny very impressive I notice the links on the contact page were not working. But the contact you link open up my default email application i didn't check what appeared in the fields as I dont have my VPN switched on so it will take ages.

Loads of intresting content, I have been though Santa Rosa as we zoom many times I think we will have to stop off more.

Hopefully Hotels and Resturants along with shops will want mini adverts/promos it will be handy for the Wife and I when passing though to Manila:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thanks Boss! Remember you are my idol buiding my site. :icon_lol:
I followed what is written in my book how to make a contact form and it looks good but not working yet. I will try that link:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thanks somebody! I did that 2 days ago because I can't find my site in Yahoo and google search engine. I have already made it and put the html code below the head. Sent also to yahoo. But they said they cannot tell the time when will it work. It depends upon their robot crawler. But still need some info about it.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yes I forgot the Travel agency. My friend who owned Travel agency discussed me about that. Thank I publish my site in here and got some more info and compliments, good comments.:omg:

To be honest, i don't want to put officials in my navigator as I am not into politics. But then it needs to be there. I have already contacted my close friend who is one of the officials and promised me that she will give me all the names of our officials. I have no idea who are they. :D

There are loads of small business there and they don't have website. I am willing to make them for an affordable price but I should do more practices. :Brick:


wow Ate Pen!!! this is great!! ang galing galing mo ha!!! I tried doing that in my computer class when I was still in Uni.. but, just not patient with it.. hayyy.... galing!!!!

I am willing to help you Florge.:D First, Dreamweaver is very handy but very expensive program. You can make a design of your own.

If you want easiest, you can make thru templates. It is the cheapest but your brain will not work too much when it comes to making design.

Professional webdesigner can make a website in pencil, paper, notepad, frontpage, and many more.:D So I need to eat more rice to get there.:icon_lol:


well done penny:xxgrinning--00xx3:,i was hoping it was a porn site :icon_lol:

there was no need to be shy and im not laughing :68711_thanx:

That's what my husband idea. I am sure I can see my site in his favourites.:cwm23:


I like the bit about Enchanted Kingdom, would love to go there sometime...infact that would be my dream to open a small Amusement Park, in the Philippines. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Every child wish to go there. July is cheaper as it is their anniversary month. It cost 500 pesos each during peak season but they reduce the price oftentimes. If you know someone working there you can have big discount.


I think Penny was waiting for you to model:omg:




Yeah its worth going down to with tagatay and Pagsanjan falls other places worth going to if near Manila:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Tagaytay is just 20 minutes drive from Sta Rosa. Upper Santa rosa is just 5 minutes drive to central Tagaytay.


well done penny :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thanks Sophie:)


Hi Ate Pen well done:xxgrinning--00xx3: indeed very Makabayan:Hellooo::Hellooo:
We'll visit Enchanted Kingdom soon:xxgrinning--00xx3:

My first website is dedicated to my town and donated to them. My homesickness is lessen now as I feel my town is just behind me. :BouncyHappy::cwm12: Thanks Leah


It's a nice website, a good way to know more about your hometown. It reminded me of my college days and enjoying Enchanted Kingdom:BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy:

Yes Liane, I must know every place in my town now. :omg:
It looks very different now since Ayala and Laguna Technopark established there. Developers and investors made it an industrial city. So people migrate to our city that's why it became a city in 2004. One of requirements to become a city is population.:D

Onced I land a job, i am planning to build a small office and start a small web design business. I am planning to hire 2 students who can help me feed and update my site. I believe there are poor but deserving IT students that is better than me. All they need are tools to develop their skills. I have already 3 computers at home. But I cannot do that yet as I am unemployed claiming benefits. :doh:bigcry:

[somebody]

Hi Penny maam yep you need to get the travel agency on there.

Your Website could be like a home page with all the companies having microsites leading off from it and if they choose and pay for it, of course you can even help them obtain for a fee a unique url as well so they can put on there advertising, business cards there own website etc.

But you maintain and also help lead traffic to them and of course there advertising can help if you have links back to your site more traffic to your main site and then on to others.

This also means each of the companies pages needs less as much of the background infomation on the area etc as it is already there.

Think how many people say look tagatay, manila, mall of asia, Pagsanjan falls many people both ofws, second gen, those westeners in LDR, non local Business people who want to know about the area when they visit and tourists all want a one stop shop for hotels, travel agency, places to eat and shop, things to do, car hire, places to rent or purchase..
I know I looked for it when I first was visiting phill and I also do when I have to visit other places on business wheter short day trip or longer stay. Gives me a overview of the area (good for small talk before,during and after meetings) handy for finding what to do there in my spare time and of course for places to stay and eat..


Do you really need to write contact me for free advertisment here? Of course your happy to list companies, but would you want to turn down someone happy to pay?

You dont see to have a map yet as a person who does not know the area a map or two would help greatly understand where santa rosa is in phill and the areas in Santa rosa.

Also some of the text confused me slighty due to the font size or type and some wording I expected to be a link but i know its early days maam:)

Ps dont you need to update your homepage link in your profile?

Thanks Somebody! Everyday I check it and trying to edit to look good and better. :D

I have made my 2 pages edited.

http://www.cityofsantarosainformation.com/amenities.html

http://www.cityofsantarosainformation.com/industrial_commercial_agencies.html

Of course I will accept if they are happy to pay :omg::cwm12::BouncyHappy:and donate if they can't afford:D. My site is not that popular yet and my first aim is to help them advertise their busines.

Thank you for your comments and will update you the pages edited.

Good work Penny!

Thank Rob! Trying to be a good learner here.:Rasp:

Thanks Liane! I used to do that when I had my little internet shop. I usually go to public schools and ask the dean if they can find me honest, hardworking and keen to learn. I have noticed that students are better than graduates in some good reasons.

If you pay them a hundred pesos for 4 hrs part time work, free snacks and transportation, you will see how happy they are. They can do their homeworks for free inside the shop, they can learn more and surf the web for free and develop their skills.

If you hire professional/graduates, you have to pay them basic pay as that states in the law. Most graduates target companies are those big companies. :)

Looking good Maam the Pictures bring Santa Rosa to life for someone who has not been there:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I remeber reading websites a few years ago for info on Boracay and Tagatay and due to the lack of pictures or not very representative ones I didn't recgonise many of the places when I got to visit both of the locations.

A good guide like the one your developing should make you feel at ease and feel you have inside knowledge on the place. So as a new visitor you dont waste so much time finding your way round.

The amount of detail you have already for various locations is very impressive.

One page/subject which would be useful would be for weather/ and condtions for the vistor from abroad. Ie whats the weather like typically at a certain time, is there a time you should be more aware of mossies etc.

Also for any vistor knowledge of Drug stores, medical faclities is very important, best to be prepared:xxgrinning--00xx3:

The home page looks far more welcoming now:xxgrinning--00xx3:

One point I would make as google launch their new phone today and the islate and next iphone is rumoured to be announced later. Plus all the other Phones with web browsing capablity are you testing on popular mobile phone formats.

As im guessing as a guide around a local area, people visiting may use while on the move.

It maybe worth asking people you know with different phones to help you browse to check it looks ok on all major formats. Also that it loads ok I noticed one Photo was 150k with two other smaller photos which may take some time for those on a slower connection ie gprs to download.

You can purchase access to websites and software which can help you here but for basic test http://browsershots.org/ will help you see what your site will look on different browsers but not for Mobile phone browsers although Iphones use safari.

Of course some of the browsers are a bit obscure so not worth worrying about to much.

Heres some more useful Links you may already use

Thanks Somebody, I'm trying my best to edit and make it better. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
I have also making friends in my groups and in one week, we are now 34 members.:omg:
A policewoman joined in our community group and she helped me feed some information about our city officials.
Yes I know, that my site have different looks in different browsers. I have 3 browsers here and they are different. And thank you very much for the link. I am surprised that there are loads of browsers.:omg: and my site looks awful in some browsers.
I wish in six months, my site will be half completed.
The gallery and forum provided by my host is already in one of my folders but need to extract and install.
Thank you very much for your support, also thanks again to admin.:):admin::REDancedancer08:

Thanks Sim! I have edited my HOME page as it looks awful with background colour. I added a photo.:D and delete the BG colour.

Soon to add House for rent, house for sale and temperature as per somebody's advise.

That is cool for me!

Thank you very much!

Best colours are white background, black text, that is what everyone is used to in a book and newspaper.

[somebody]

Best colours are white background, black text, that is what everyone is used to in a book and newspaper.
Very true regarding white background and black but nice to have some colour in websites when suitable:)

It is worth reading up about what colours people see better many people are colour blind or have other sight issues which makes distingushing colours harder. Some may not know they have colour blindess.

In fact like we do with our technical staff (for safety reasons) we have tested our web admin/design team and a few discovered they did not have perfect vision. Strangely many had worked in the field for years and few had got tested:omg:

For example although I can see red I dont see differences in red as much as other colours. Its very slight but for some it can be much more

So making sure the colours used ensure as many as possible see your website is important. Otherwise it will mean part of your readership cant see it as you intended or gain enjoyment from the pages as much as they could.

Also worth reading up about website colour psychology and of course doing your own surveys with your readership:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Heres another handy website maam but make sure you switch off the test once you have checked the speed.

http://webwait.com/

Handy to ask people to use the site to see how it opens for them on their set up.

Have you set up at page hit counter thats not displayed or have a survey on what pages people rated the most?

Many creating a product to be used by a worldwide audience are surprised which pages or content is most requested, by whom and also why. Of course understanding you readership is crucial.

Just done Somebody! thank you very much i have now my hit counter and it's cute!

Yes white and black is such a good combi but I'll try this colour first. :D
Our town colour symbol is pink and it looks awful if i use pink.:D And our mayor website is pink already so I better choose light blue with dark blue font colour.

[pennybarry]

I am pleased and happy with my site!
