I had a discussion with someone about absolute positioning. He claims that the best practice to secure that everything looks all the same across most browsers and that it's the easiest way to maintain the looks and feel that you intended for a website.
The internet isn't print, I don't think it's ideal to absolutely position everything. I'd argue you can make sure things look better by using your method, perhaps augmented by using EMs for some widths to allow the page to be a bit more fluid on different screen sizes (and DPIs). This allows your content to scale better, and with mobile browsing becoming more popular that's important.
Edit: Thinking about it more, using all absolutes might really come back to bite you with mobile browsers if you're not careful. What happens when your site uses absolute positioning on something like the iPhone (assuming you're aligning some elements to corners)? The positioning would be aligned to the iPhone's corners, which are an odd ratio (compared to computers) and much smaller resolution; throwing everything out of wack. If you used a combination of floats/widths/etc you'd make sure the site kept its original size and you'd just have to scroll.
Absolute positioning is generally pretty bad. Rarely do you want your website to look the same windowed on someone's 1024x768 laptop and fullscreen on their 1920x1200 desktop. Also, good luck reconciling your absolute positioning with different user font sizes.
The other main advantage by not positioning absolutely, is that you can have more generalised CSS, shared across an entire site, without having to litter positioning statements all over code -- it'd be horrible if the client suddenly makes their logo have a different aspect ratio and need to move everything around...
This is right. I just earned 500 bucks fixing a site for some guy, and teaching him that his absolute-positioned website broke the moment he added so much as a comma, because the text would re-flow and the whole thing fall apart.
If you zoom out my website, the structure of the header looks bad. I don't know what to do about this. This is the link of my website. This is the CSS and HTML structure. Hope you can help me, I really need help :(
In the first two cases the page was directly coupled to my live homepage, so after making a change I would look at the website to see how it looks on the live version. This is how I would find out everything is gone, because it would be blank except for a footer. In the editor it was still there, until I refresh. I could still make changes and publish them but the live website would not show anything anymore.
Before I saw your message I increased the allocated ram to 128M.
I created a new page, started editing with Elementor, added an image and some text, after a couple of minutes everything was deleted again. So I moved on to deleting Elementor and Envato. Cleared my browser cache, reinstalled Elementor and regenerated CSS. At this point the only plugin installed and active is Elementor.
I tried everything to break it again, but after an hour it still works. So I decided to install Envato and essential addons for Elementor again and start working on the template that I wanted to use. After about 10 minutes everything was deleted again.
I looked into the envato settings and saw that my upload size limit was set at 2mb, I increased it to 100mb. Downloaded the template again and started over. Yet everything still got removed after a few minutes.
After creating the new empty page, with no template, I started adding a section, with text and an image, went over to another section with a title and carousel. Everything OK so far, added another section with a title and text but after updating everything was removed again. So I suppose it might not be because of Envato, maybe it is Essential Addons for Elementor (even though I have not used any of their functions yet).
So now I will deactivate Essential Addons and activate Envato again. Create a new page, add a Envato template and start editing. After editing for a couple of minutes everything was once again removed. I guess both Envato and Essential Addons are causing the problem?
So I created another page, added a Envato template and started editing. Eventually everything got removed again, I started over in the same page which worked for some reason (usually updating the page after everything getting removed does not work) but that also got removed again.

This is your easy-to-understand guide on everything you need to know about the front end vs back end of your website. In this article, you find out what the difference is between the front and back end of your website. And, more importantly, the aspects that are important for a website admin.
The dashboard looks different on each CMS, but they all allow administrative functionality without requiring the admin to know coding language. The coding of your website is the responsibility of your website development company.
In fact, most marketing agencies build websites using one of these CMS platforms as a foundation. Developers either code on the front end, backend, or both. A web developer that can code on the front and backend of a CMS is called a Full-stack developer.
There are many web development languages that are used for both the front-end and the back-end. The three primary front end languages in use are HTML, CSS, and Javascript. HTML provides the structure of the website, while CSS provides the visual look, and Javascript provides the interactivity.
The most popular languages for the back-end are PHP, Ruby, Python, SQL, and Java. The purpose of these languages is to interact with the websites database. These languages are intended to store, retrieve, and change specific information stored in the data files.
The kind of information held in the database can be anything from your username/password to account information about your website. In our restaurant metaphor, the back-end of your website is the kitchen. The kitchen staff receives the order from your waiter and delivers your request. This all happens out of sight of the client.
The trick to being able to manage your website effectively is to have it built by a full-stack developer. Full-stack developers are not only versed in CMSs but also can code in both front-end and back-end languages. So, you get a fully customizable website in the framework of your choice that can be as unique as your brand.
Often, this is the difference between a low-cost website and a professionally built website. The former is developed atop a pre-made template. They break easily, cannot be fixed easily, and all look similar. The latter is durable, fixable, and expandable.
