			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Search engine optimization is a relatively recent form of marketing on today’s Internet, but it is taking off very rapidly. All sorts of companies are using SEO as a way for them to improve their ability to attract prospective business from search engines, where millions of online users go to find whatever it is they need. Private label SEO is a specialized form of SEO that is useful for a business that wants to resell SEO but is not experienced enough to create its own marketing services.</p>
<p>With <a href="http://hubshout.com">private label SEO resellers</a>, your business provides search marketing services for<br />
its own clients without having to create these services yourself. In a more traditional form of marketing, companies that are looking for marketing services have to turn to a firm that creates and then distributes their own unique marketing packages. On the other hand, when your company uses a private label SEO reseller strategy, you will get these marketing services from an outside business that specializes in search engine optimization services.</p>
<p>Private label SEO does not require you to be educated or knowledgeable about search engine marketing. In fact, many businesses that utilize private label SEO packages have never before experienced what it is like to resell these services. When you utilize private label SEO, your clients will never know that they are getting marketing services from an outside company. They will be under the impression that you are creating these services for them, meaning there will be less confusion about the services and where they come from. </p>
<p>It is very rare that a company gets an opportunity to bolster their own income while at the same time helping their customers succeed as well. Private label SEO reseller approaches afford online organizations this very opportunity. When you get involved with this form of marketing, you can watch your income go up without spending valuable time helping members of your company learn about search engine marketing. Start initiating communication with some <a href="http://hubshout.com/?p=Resources_Forums">SEO reseller firms</a> on the web that can provide you with private label marketing and help you get started providing these packages for your customers. Once you get past the initial set-up and get established with the rhythm of SEO reselling, you will begin enjoying greater profits and business income as well as a much higher level of customer satisfaction thanks to the great help you provide your clients with their own marketing pursuits on the world wide web.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The growing number of the developers living in USA is the best sign of how web services are popular nowadays. A lot of companies try to get their business outside the plain shops and get the direct access to wide opportunities and the great number of the new potential customers. That is why all of them need perfect sites that will meet the needs of the modern society and match the expectations of the future clients. The wisely created site can draw a lot of new people to your shop in the matter of days, and that is just what the sellers are thinking about when spending the significant amount of money on the development process of their site. That is the most valuable reason of a high range of <a href="http://www.iflexion.com/">USA web development</a>. Their first task is to get the site to work, in other words they help you to make the journey from the main idea to the specific site ready to be launched and start working. Yet before it all the internal links shall be checked and go under throughout testing so that the site will not have to be deactivated and renewed the very first days due to some unnoticed bug. After the site is in place and ready to greet the first customers it appears to be in the great need of the daily support.<br />
There are a lot of things that can go wrong in the net, starting from the unexpected hacker attack and ending with the drastic drop of server which results the complete stop of all the site functions. In this case all we can do is to rely on the web developers why will fix the correct work of your page.<br />
The site hosts try to keep the close contact with the web developers. That is why a lot of specialists in this field are working in crowded states like New York (where they mostly offer their services to the local business companies), Los Angeles and Las Vegas, where the night clubs are mostly in need of the good web advertisement, Washington and Philadelphia with its historical sights offered through the sites of the touristic bureaus and of course such a natural paradise like Florida, where a lot of people spend their holidays. These states are however not the only ones to inhabit the web developers. Due to the wide spread of the freelance activity in USA, a lot of people tend to like in the central states like Missouri or Indianapolis and fulfil the tasks for their bosses in NY, taking the advantage of the Internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The identification mark or the emblem created to recognize a particular enterprise or an organization is called logo. It may be in form of signature, symbol, sign board, of flag. In all cases it requires an intensive and hardworking mechanism to create. After this the question arises that for what reason logos are used? Thus the best way to answer this question is to mark the words, to recognize, to inspire and to gain superiority. Logos are effective from a very long time, but are often referred by different names. If we look back in past history it can be seen that the rulers used to possess emblems to indicate their power and strength. The same think with a better version came into effect after the industrial revolution. Therefore it can be stated that logos have played a significant role in the display and promotion of various organizations. It should be mentioned that a logo should be more meaningful in its representation than compared to its look.<br />
<strong>Creation of logo</strong><br />
Creation of logo had often been a tough task as it requires a hard working personality with an effective and creative mind. The perfect logo can be created keeping in mind the graphic, color, and off course the meaning it wants to convey. Beside all these in modern days the symbols and the ideograms are also included which has made development in logo creation. Logo is something which is usually involved in copyright and thus the owner of the enterprise deserve the patent his logo. To be very clear that once a logo is formed no duplicate of it should be created. From the corporate point of view a logo should be created very simple, as it will help the customers to recognize the particular brand. Some examples of logos can be shown in the images below,<br />
<a href="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic1.jpg"><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic1.jpg" alt="" title="pic1" width="736" height="315" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4077" /></a><br />
The above are some of the best examples of logo designing of some of the well identified companies. From those it can be evaluated that the logo should be simple and meaningful in nature.<br />
<strong>Nature of logo</strong><br />
Basically there are five principles to be followed while constructing a perfect logo those are as –<br />
 <a href="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic2.jpg"><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic2.jpg" alt="" title="pic2" width="643" height="301" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4078" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>The logo should be as simple as to be understood and identified. A simple and understandable logo can increase the demand of a particular product.</li>
<li>It should be of such a type that people can memorize it within a short period of time. It should stay simple by nature with an effective principle included in it.</li>
<li>An effective logo should not be created for a specific time being but it should be created for an endless period of time.</li>
<li>Various other principles are to be followed. It should be versatile in its size, color and graphical representation.</li>
<li>Along with all these a logo should be created keeping in mind the organization and its product. It should be appropriate and meaningful.</li>
</ul>
<p>A logo designer should be very technical and loyal in his profession. They should have the entire knowledge of the creation and also about the enterprise they designing for. Thus all among these some important questions are to be asked before taking a new logo designing project. These questions are mentioned below.<br />
<strong>i.</strong>	Getting all the relevant details about the company<br />
As it is one of the tough tasks to decide the name of an enterprise, similarly designing it logo is also a tough task. You need to evaluate all the details regarding the company such as, the product they are dealing with, name of the company, the motive behind the formation etc. And also a brief description about the competitor of the said company is essential.<br />
 <a href="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic3.jpg"><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic3.jpg" alt="" title="pic3" width="604" height="377" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4079" /></a><br />
<strong>ii.</strong>	Competitors  and age of the business<br />
The rivals and the competitors are the close enemies of a particular company, thus you need to ask your client about the competitors and depending upon that you need to create an exceptional design.  Beside this the other thing that should strike in your mind is about the time period or the age of the said organization, as it will help you to know about the popularity of the organization and thus keeping in mind you could create a meaningful logo.</p>
<p><strong>iii.</strong>	The message that the logo needs to say or the best symbol you prefer<br />
Before starting to project a logo you should ask your client about the message he/she wants to deliver by means of logo or what promotion they wants to make. As it has been a nature of logo that it should be meaningful. Along with this you should also get a suggestion about the symbol or graphical representation from your client. This will make your work easier and very high in quality.</p>
<p><strong>iv.</strong>	Deadline or the time period of delivery<br />
Time is considered to be the most valuable thing. So the next you should ask your client about the deadline or the time period for the delivery of logo. Thus if he/she provides you a deadline, you need to complete your work within that. It will help you to work faster and efficiently. Always try to listen about the deadline from your client as if it is short period you need to rush and complete your project. Thus deadline is one of the important questions to be asked.</p>
<p><strong>v.</strong>	Budget<br />
Money is one of the important factors for both the client and the logo designer. A company always has a budget related to its any of the work. Thus you need to ask your client about the budget.<br />
<a href="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic4.jpg"><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2012/02/pic4.jpg" alt="" title="pic4" width="517" height="229" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4080" /></a><br />
You should better know that how much of fund your client wants to invest in the creation of logo. Depending upon this you should perform your work.</p>
<p><strong>vi.</strong>	Exact design of the logo and presentation<br />
The next and foremost question that should appear in your mind is about the entire design and its presentation. Often some of the enterprise doesn’t even know how to display their name in the logo. So you need to discuss these in details with your client about the exact design and how will the logo look like.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>	Your company invests in marketing, business development, and sales—but what about internet <a href="http://www.thereputationmanagementco.com/">reputation management</a>? As a professional, it’s your job to ensure that your company’s brand image is working toward your company’s goals. Leaving your organization’s reputation up to whatever Google’s algorithm chooses to publicize is simply unacceptable. Reputation management services are indispensable for any company that wants to thrive.</p>
<p>	And what about your individual goals? You work hard to create a good name for yourself by doing the right thing and exercising personal integrity. You dress nicely and take care of yourself so you can create a positive impression on the people you encounter in your daily life. But all that counts for nothing on the internet; your entire life is distilled to whatever happens to be on Google’s front page. And, unfortunately, Google’s front page is not always flattering, honest, or fair.</p>
<p>	Internet image is simply a new sphere you must be cognizant of and attend to. Luckily, by enlisting the <a href="http://www.thereputationmanagementco.com/">reputation management services</a> of the right companies or consultants, you can stay on the right track and achieve the optimal reputation that will help you move forward in life.</p>
<p>	How do reputation management companies use their expertise to help you improve your business or your life? The first step is an analysis phase. Will your reputation management campaign address specific issues, such as a particular website or a discrete article? Or is it simply a preventative effort meant to build up your defenses against future attacks and strengthen the image you have in mind? Exactly what goals are you trying to accomplish through your reputation management efforts? The answers to these questions determine the direction that your reputation campaign will take. Different goals take different approaches to accomplish.</p>
<p>	After the analysis phase comes a planning phase, in which the reputation management consultants chart out the methodology they will use to address your reputation issues. Search engines can take dozens of different aspects of a website into account when determining its placement on their results page. The planning phase involves coming to an understanding of how exactly to leverage these different factors in order to craft an effective campaign.</p>
<p>	After planning comes implementation. At this point, the expert’s reputation management services involve creating optimized content and promoting positive existing content, thus effectively removing the damaging websites from sight. Reputation management bases itself on the proven assumption that people are more likely to see information located on the front page of a search engine than, say, information buried on the fifth page.</p>
<p>	What steps have you taken to ensure that your reputation (or the reputation of your business) remains untarnished in the long run? You are on the right track by reading articles like this one—becoming educated is always the first step to achieving a positive change of this type. And as <a href="http://www.thereputationmanagementco.com/about/online-reputation-management/">internet reputation</a> becomes a more and more important consideration, those who are on the cutting edge will be rewarded.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is second part of designing a one page portfolio tutorial series. In the first tutorial, we had created a simple and elegant Portfolio PSD mockup. Now, we&#8217;ll convert the PSD to a HTML5 and CSS3 with some jQuery goodness. Make sure you have read the first tutorial and make the design in Photoshop, or you can just grab the final PSD mockup from there.</p>
<p>Take a look at our PSD mockup first. Our portfolio design has a simple one column page with a large white-space, big and bold header, a slider to put some portfolio items, and a contact form on the footer. We&#8217;ll play around with some fancy CSS3 effects like text-shadow on the header, semi-transparent background on the navigation menu and border-radius on the portfolio slider and contact form. We&#8217;ll also use a jQuery slider plugin named <em>slides.js</em> to create the slider. Let&#8217;s get started!</p>
<h3>Final Result</h3>
<p>Click on the image below to see the final design in HTML.</p>
<p><a href="html/index.html"><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/portfolio-preview.jpg" width="600" height="554" alt="One Page Portfolio Site Preview" /></a></p>
<h3>Step 1:  File Structure</h3>
<p>Create a new directory in your computer and give it a name whatever you like. Inside this newly created directory, create another directory called <em>img</em> to put all the images that we extracted from PSD file.</p>
<p>		Grab <a href="http://slidesjs.com/">Slides.js</a> and place it inside the directory.
</p>
<h3>Step 2: Exporting the image files from PSD</h3>
<p>Before we started coding, we need to export all  the necessary images from the mockup such as background, portfolio items, and social media icon.</p>
<h4><strong>1. Background</strong></h4>
<p>Activate Zoom tool and click several times on the canvas to maximum magnification. Create a selection using crop tool. Click menu File &gt; Save for Web and Device (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S) and save it as <em>bg.jpg</em> in the <em>img</em> directory.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4><strong>2. Slider Background</strong></h4>
<p>Head over tothe slider area and make a selection on the portfolio background using crop tool. Save it as <em>detail_bg.png</em>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4><strong>3. Portfolio Items</strong></h4>
<p>Create selection around the portfolio image and save it as <em>items1.jpg</em>. Grab the other image by switching the layer visibility on the item and save each item as <em>items2.jpg</em> and <em>items3.jpg</em>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4><strong>4. Slider Navigation</strong></h4>
<p>First, convert the circle shape to smart object by right clicking on the layer and select Convert to Smart Object. This way, we can select the layer and its layer styles. Create guide around our newly created smart object. Make selection with crop tool along the guide. Hide background layer to get a transparent background and save it as PNG-transparent file named <em>nav.png</em>. Repeat this step on the active state circle shape, save it as <em>nav_a.png</em>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/5a.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4><strong>5. Separator</strong></h4>
<p>Merge all layers inside layer group &#8220;separator&#8221; by right clicking it and select Merge Layers. Then create guide around the merged layer. Create selection with crop tool and then hide the background layer. Save it as <em>separator.png</em>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/5b.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4><strong>6. Social Icon</strong></h4>
<p>We will export all social icons as a single image instead of separate images, we&#8217;ll then use CSS sprite to separate the icons in the webpage. Shift the position of each icon until there are no gap between each icon, then create selection with crop tool after hiding the background layer. Save it as <em>social.png</em>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4><strong>7. Submit Button</strong></h4>
<p>Merge submit button shape and text into a single layer and then create guide around the new layer. Create selection with crop tool after hiding the background layer and save as <em>submit.png</em>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h3>Step 3: Basic Structure</h3>
<p>We&#8217;re done with the images, now grab a coffee and let&#8217;s start on the coding. Open up your favorite code editor and write our first HTML markup.</p>
<pre>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;
&lt;html lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
	&lt;meta charset=&quot;UTF-8&quot;&gt;
	&lt;title&gt;My Awesome Portfolio&lt;/title&gt;
	&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;style.css&quot; /&gt;
	&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
	&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;slides.min.jquery.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
	&lt;!--[if lt IE 9]&gt;
	&lt;script src=&quot;http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
	&lt;![endif]--&gt;
	&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
		WebFontConfig = {
			google: { families: [ 'Lobster::latin' ] }
		};
		(function() {
			var wf = document.createElement('script');
			wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') + '://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js';
			wf.type = 'text/javascript';
			wf.async = 'true';
			var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
			s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s);
		})();
	&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</pre>
<p>Our HTML begins with typical document structure consisting of doctype, link to stylesheet file, link to jQuery slider and jQuery library from Google API, and an HTML5 hacks script for IE. We&#8217;re also embedding a google webfont, Lobster, with WebFont loader (personally I like this method because I can adjust how things look during and after font loading by defining CSS rules).</p>
<p>The CSS style begins with a simple reset to get rid the browser default style, and then some basic setting such as typography, color and background image.</p>
<pre>
/* ----- Resetting CSS ------ */

* {
	vertical-align: baseline;
	font-weight: inherit;
	font-family: inherit;
	font-style: inherit;
	font-size: 100%;
	border: 0 none;
	outline: 0;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
}
article,aside,details,figcaption,figure,
footer,header,hgroup,menu,nav,section {
    display:block;
}

/* ----- Layout ------ */

body {
	background:#c6c6c6 url(img/bg.png);
	color:#444;
	font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;
}
</pre>
<h3>Step 4: The Navigation</h3>
<p>Our first element in the markup is the top navigation. We&#8217;ll use <code>&lt;nav&gt;</code> element as our navigation wrapper and then place the menu as an unordered list. Since our page is just a single page, the menu works as a shortcut to jump to element that matched with the ID&#8217;s that we specify in the menu.</p>
<pre>
&lt;nav id=&quot;top&quot;&gt;
	&lt;ul&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#head&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#portfolio&quot;&gt;Portfolio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#about&quot;&gt;About&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#contact&quot;&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/nav&gt;
</pre>
<p><strong>Step 5: CSS</strong></p>
<p>As in the mockup, our navigation menu has 37 px height and 5 px border in the bottom with a semi-transparent background. We&#8217;ll also make the navigation position static, to keep the navigation at the top of page when we scroll down the page.</p>
<pre>
nav#top {
	background:rgba(68,68,68,.5);
	filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=1, StartColorStr='#55444444', EndColorStr='#55444444'); /* IE specific hacks to make transparent background */
	background-clip:content-box;
	border-bottom:5px solid rgba(255,255,255,.5);
	box-shadow:0 0 5px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
	font-size:16px;
	height: 37px;
	line-height:37px;
	position:fixed;
	top:0;
	width:100%;
	z-index:100;
}
	nav#top ul {
		list-style:none;
		margin:0 auto;
		text-align:center;
		width:780px;
	}
		nav#top li {
			display:inline;
			padding:0 20px;
		}
		nav#top a {
			color:#fff;
			text-decoration:none;
		}
</pre>
<h3>Step 6: The Header</h3>
<p>The next element is the header and a short introductory sentence. The syntax is pretty simple, we&#8217;ll use a <code>&lt;header&gt;</code> element to wrap the title and tagline, and then use <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> on the introductory sentence.</p>
<pre>
&lt;header id=&quot;head&quot;&gt;
	&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;John Doe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
	&lt;h2 class=&quot;desc&quot;&gt;designer by day, superhero by night&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/header&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;hello&quot;&gt;I am a web and graphic designer. I design interface for web and mobile apps.&lt;/p&gt;
</pre>
<p>Our site title design have a nice 1 px border and text-shadow to make the title stand out. Fortunately, we can make this effect with just using CSS3 text-shadow. We&#8217;ll also use text-shadow to make letterpress effect on the rest of the design.</p>
<pre>
header {
	padding:102px 0 130px;
	text-align:center;
}
header h1 {
	font-family:'Lobster', Georgia, Serif;
	font-size:64px;
}
header h1 a {
	color:#fff;
	text-decoration:none;
	text-shadow:
		3px 3px 0 #444,
		1px 1px 0 #444,
		-1px 1px 0 #444,
		1px -1px 0 #444,
		-1px -1px 0 #444
	;
}
header h1:hover {
	opacity:.8;
	filter:alpha(opacity=80);
}
header h2 {
	font-size:14px;
	line-height:2;
	text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #fff;
}

p.hello {
	font-size:30px;
	font-weight:bold;
	line-height:1.2;
	margin:0 auto 100px;
	text-align:center;
	text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #fff;
	width:620px;
}
</pre>
<h3>Step 7: The Slider</h3>
<p>Now, we move to Slider section. We&#8217;ll use a <code>&lt;section&gt;</code> as a container of the slider. Inside this container we&#8217;ll place an <code>&lt;h3&gt;</code> title and a series of our slider items. Don&#8217;t forget to add separator before and after the slider.</p>
<pre>
&lt;span class=&quot;separator&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;section id=&quot;portfolio&quot;&gt;
	&lt;h3&gt;Featured Project&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;div class=&quot;slider&quot;&gt;
		&lt;div class=&quot;items&quot;&gt;
			&lt;figure&gt;
				&lt;img src=&quot;img/items1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Portfolio Items&quot; /&gt;
			&lt;/figure&gt;
			&lt;div class=&quot;details&quot;&gt;
				&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;name&quot;&gt;News Icon&lt;/a&gt;
				&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;category&quot;&gt;Icon Design&lt;/a&gt;
			&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class=&quot;items&quot;&gt;
			&lt;figure&gt;
				&lt;img src=&quot;img/items2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Portfolio Items&quot; /&gt;
			&lt;/figure&gt;
			&lt;div class=&quot;details&quot;&gt;
				&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;name&quot;&gt;Go Design&lt;/a&gt;
				&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;category&quot;&gt;Logo Design&lt;/a&gt;
			&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class=&quot;items&quot;&gt;
			&lt;figure&gt;
				&lt;img src=&quot;img/items3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Portfolio Items&quot; /&gt;
			&lt;/figure&gt;
			&lt;div class=&quot;details&quot;&gt;
				&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;name&quot;&gt;Desain Digital&lt;/a&gt;
				&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;category&quot;&gt;Web Design&lt;/a&gt;
			&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;separator&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
</pre>
<p>To make the slider works, we&#8217;ll need to initialize Slidejs by adding a script inside the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> element. Place this following script below the Google Webfont script.</p>
<pre>
$(function(){
	$(&quot;#portfolio&quot;).slides({
		container: 'slider',
		slideSpeed: 500,
		play: 4000
	});
  });
</pre>
<p>Let&#8217;s add style to the slider. Our slider container will have an 8 px rounded corner and a little shadow. We&#8217;ll also add a 70 px top and bottom padding to create large white-space. Slidejs automatically generate pagination to the slider, so we also need to style them using graphic circle from our PSD.</p>
<pre>
.separator {
	background:transparent url(img/separator.png);
	display:block;
	margin:0 auto;
	height:28px;
	width:780px;
}
section#portfolio {
	margin:0 auto;
	padding:70px 0;
	width:778px;
}
h3 {
	font-family:'Lobster', Georgia, Serif;
	font-size:36px;
	margin-bottom:25px;
	text-align:center;
	text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #fff;
}
section#portfolio .slider {
	border-radius:8px;
	box-shadow:0 0 5px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
	display:block;
	height:414px;
	width:778px;
	margin-bottom:30px;
}
section#portfolio .items {
	background:#444;
	border-radius:8px;
	border:5px solid #fff;
	margin-bottom:30px;
	height:404px;
	width:768px;
}
section#portfolio .items figure img {
	display:block;
}
section#portfolio .items .details {
	background:#7e7e7e url(img/detail_bg.png);
	height:49px;
	line-height:55px;
}
section#portfolio .items .details a {
	color:#fff;
	font-size:16px;
	font-weight:bold;
	text-decoration:none;
	text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
}
section#portfolio .items .details a.name {
	float:left;
	margin-left:10px;
}
section#portfolio .items .details a.category {
	float:right;
	margin-right:10px;
}
ul.pagination {
	list-style:none;
	text-align:center;
}
ul.pagination li {
	display:inline-block;
}
ul.pagination li a {
	background:transparent url(img/nav.png);
	display:block;
	height:18px;
	margin:0 5px;
	width:15px;
	text-indent:-9999px;
}
ul.pagination li.current a {
	background:transparent url(img/nav_a.png);
}
</pre>
<p>Here&#8217;s a preview of our current work.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/12/9.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h3>Step 8: About Section</h3>
<p>We&#8217;re done with the slider, so let&#8217;s jump to About Section. We&#8217;ll use <code>&lt;section&gt;</code> again as the wrapper of the content and place some text and social media link inside the wrapper. Don&#8217;t forget to place separator after the section.
</p>
<pre>
&lt;section id=&quot;about&quot;&gt;
	&lt;h3&gt;Meet The Hero&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I'm John Doe, a web &amp;amp; graphic designer. As a web designer, I am best known for making some kickass website. As a graphic designer, especially icon design, my work was used by one of the largest social network on earth, Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;If you want to know more about me, you can reach me via contact form below or one of these social network.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;div class=&quot;social&quot;&gt;
		&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;fb&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;
		&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;linkedin&quot;&gt;LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt;
		&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;twitter&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;
		&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;lastfm&quot;&gt;Last FM&lt;/a&gt;
		&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;wp&quot;&gt;Blog&lt;/a&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;separator&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
</pre>
<p>We&#8217;ll transform the social media link into a nice icon that we have created before. Since the icons is wrapped in a single file, we need to configure each icon position to match the correct link by modify the background position. This method is called CSS Sprite.</p>
<pre>
section#about {
	margin:auto;
	padding:70px 0;
	text-align:center;
	width:460px;
}
section#about p {
	font-size:14px;
	line-height:18px;
	margin-bottom:18px;
	text-align:center;
	text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #fff;
}
.social {
	display:block
}
.social a {
	background:transparent url(img/social.png);
	display:inline-block;
	height:30px;
	width:33px;
	text-indent:-9999px;
}
.social a:hover {
	opacity:.7;
}

/* CSS Sprite */
.social a.fb {
	background-position:0 0;
}
.social a.linkedin {
	background-position:133px 0;
}
.social a.twitter {
	background-position:100px 0;
}
.social a.lastfm {
	background-position:67px 0;
}
.social a.wp {
	background-position:33px 0;
}
</pre>
<h3>Step 9: Contact Form</h3>
<p>Our last element is the contact form. As usual, contact form is just a series of some input text, a text area and a submit button wrapped in a <code>&lt;section&gt;</code> container.</p>
<pre>
&lt;section id=&quot;contact&quot;&gt;
	&lt;h3&gt;Drop Me a Line&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;form action=&quot;#&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;&gt;
		&lt;div&gt;
			&lt;label for=&quot;name&quot;&gt;Your Name&lt;/label&gt;
			&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;name&quot; /&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div&gt;
			&lt;label for=&quot;email&quot;&gt;Your Email Adress&lt;/label&gt;
			&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;email&quot; /&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div&gt;
			&lt;label for=&quot;subject&quot;&gt;Message Subject&lt;/label&gt;
			&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;subject&quot; /&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div&gt;
			&lt;label for=&quot;message&quot;&gt;Message Text&lt;/label&gt;
			&lt;textarea name=&quot;message&quot; id=&quot;message&quot; cols=&quot;30&quot; rows=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;input name=&quot;submit&quot; id=&quot;submit&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; /&gt;
	&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;

</pre>
<h3>Step 10: Final Touch</h3>
<p>Actually, our portfolio is already done and works well. But we still need to add one final touch to make our site more fancy. We&#8217;ll add a jQuery scrolling effect to make a smooth scrolling on our navigation menu. Place this script inside <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> element.</p>
<pre>
$(document).ready(function(){
	$('a[href*=#]').click(function() {
		if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,&quot;) == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,&quot;)
		&amp;&amp; location.hostname == this.hostname) {
			var $target = $(this.hash);
			$target = $target.length &amp;&amp; $target
			|| $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');
			if ($target.length) {
				var targetOffset = $target.offset().top;
				$('html,body')
				.animate({scrollTop: targetOffset}, 1000);
				return false;
			}
		}
	});
});
</pre>

<h3>Step 3: Make Pattern</h3>
<p>Make new file with size 6 x 6 px..</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-03.jpg" width="524" height="384" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
<h3>Step 4</h3>
<p>Set foreground color to default, black, by pressing D. Activate Brush tool with brush size 1 px. Make new layer and then draw two diagonal lines as seen below.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-04.jpg" width="545" height="341" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
<h3>Step 5</h3>

<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-05.jpg" width="591" height="489" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
<h3>Step 6</h3>
<p>Let&#8217;s return to our site design. Activate background layer we have just made in Step 2. Double click layer and add Pattern Overlay. Select pattern that we have just created.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-06.jpg" width="600" height="464" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the result of our background in 100% magnification.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-07.jpg" width="424" height="285" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
<h3>Step 7: Guides</h3>
<p>Reveal ruler by pressing Ctrl + R. Click and drag from vertical ruler onto the canvas to make new guide. Place the guides on 280 px and 1060 px.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-08.jpg" width="600" height="246" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
<h3>Step 8: Main Menu</h3>
<p>Draw a rectangle shape with color: #434343 on top of the site. Make sure to make it big enough until its top, left, and right sides are outside the canvas. Set its layer Opacity to 50%.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-09.jpg" width="600" height="133" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
<h3>Step 9</h3>
<p>Double click rectangle shape layer to open Layer Style dialog box. Add Drop Shadow and Stroke with following settings.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-10.jpg" width="600" height="464" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>

<h3>Step 11: Main Content</h3>
<p>Start writing main content of this site, the owner&#8217;s name. We are using free <a href="http://www.impallari.com/lobster/">Lobster font</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pvmgarage.com/pvmenglishcontent4984/uploads/2011/11/one-page-portfolio-site-14.jpg" width="665" height="280" alt="Design a One Page Portfolio Site in Photoshop" /></p>
