This is my first time asking a question here on stackoverflow.
I'd like to know if anyone (more experienced in web design than me, but that's an easy one!) can help me out with a couple tips on how to make this website faster to load and navigate:
www.treasure-diggers.com
I know the HD video banner is the first thing that comes to mind, but that was an explicit request from the client (no Low-Definition render or Youtube player).
Aside from that, it's just a wordpress page with a dozen of medium-sized images, and yet it takes quite a while to load on low connection speeds.
Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance!
Look, I've checked your website in website speed test service (GTmetrix) and here you can check the result yourself.
There are some advices, for example, you can minify CSS and JS files and you can specify image dimensions for small images, like social icons, for example. try to resize big images yourself, not with the help of website. After that check the result in GTmetrix, your website speed will be improved =)

I was able to create a web site 10 years ago with Microsoft Frontpage without learning anything, today with a copy of Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, I can't even figure out a way to change the font size of a simple text. CSS is the thing, so I went through the CSS tutorials in w3 and I get it now. It's a good idea, but It is also a good idea to kill creativity, ie all sites like similar, see screenshot below. It sucks floppy disks.
My questions will be:
Does web 2.0 really kill creativity?
Is there a "modern" web design application that I don't need to go into these CSS thing?
Is there a way to create a circular navigation menu like this using css? I want to have this menu in the middle of the page, and with a button on the corner to activate it.
No it doesn't
You don't have to use CSS. You can use inline styles,
but it won't be right. Using the CSS is a good coding practice and
you just need to learn it better.
Yes. If you google it, you'll find several links. Here is just some examples:

Just Wondering if some could explain difference between following 4 ways of uses of image in a website.
/img/log.png (in http://example.com)
http://example.com/img/log.png
http://example2.com/img/log.png (Different website on same server)
http://example3.com/img/log.png (Different website on different server)
Performance wise which is the best?
This is a bit of a silly question, and that isn't 4 ways of using an image. So I'll give you a kind of answer.
When referencing an image from within your site just use
/img/log.png
When referencing images hosted elsewhere
//website.com/img/log.png
By using the // instead of http:// you will avoid SSL issues. That is about the only help I can offer. Other than that, check out some "Learn HTML" sites or books. Even a quick hour study session should help you move past questions like this.

I am working on a site and I am designing a landing page where you click on pictures and it will take you to a product page.
I have just hit a problem that I was asked to put a slider into the page above everything, I haven't yet started that and thought that i would upload the site for now to a test server to make sure everything is running OK.
Most of the page is but there are three images on one section (3/6) that just will not load. I've looked over the coding and cant seem to find any mistakes with the code.
You must provide some of your code referring to the images, then only someone can help you. Anyway there can be an issue that you were not providing the correct path for the image. Also, sometimes it happens issue with writing the format of the image in caps or small letter. It make work with image.gif but not with image.GIF for example. So, look into image property also and find the correct format.

How can I be sure that my web site can be viewed in smatphones (with different resolutions and screen's size) without any problem.
Is there a way to convert the couple html/css of a classic web site to be compatible everywhere.
Best regards.
I use http://mite.keynote.com/ to help test websites on mobiles that I don't have physically available. It's not perfect, but it's about the best testing suite I've seen and will definitely give you an idea of whether or not your design will work.
As for the actual design methodology, just make sure you don't specify anything in pixels or points, all dimensions should be specified with em's (or ex, etc) or percentages. From there, it's just a matter or trying things to see if they work.

I know the question was asked before but I'm still not sure.
I'm comfortable with php, mysql, jquery, html, css, etc.
Recently someone propose a collaboration where I help him to build a website where people search for jobs(in my country). He wants the website to offer possibility for uploading video. He doesn't really know but he want the site to be build on a platform, because he says its faster.
What do you think?
I can do it from scratch, but is he right? What do you suggest?
Also the part with the video I'm not really sure in what direction to go? What to use when you want to give a user possibility to upload a video(besides something like youtube)?
Thank you!
PHPmotion Media Sharing CMS aka PHPmotion is one of the most famous scripts to create a "youtube clone" site and it's free.
There are other options, check The Top 5 Free YouTube Clone Scripts article, it might help you choose the best one for you.
The fastest way is the way you feel most comfortable with.
Uploading video is not something as easy as it looks. There are a lot of things beyond the "upload". For example, video files are big. So you have to have a huge distributed storage system to store them. That alone would be quite a big task if you don't already have a "platform" that already does it for you.
So my suggestion is, talk him out of the video feature, then do the rest with your own way. : )
