Personal website?
*Adobe photoshop CS2
*DreamWeaver 8
*Flash 8
*Microsoft Frontpage 2003
So i have pretty much everything! :shocking:
The type of website im making is sort of just a general Teen site with chat box games, pictures, problem form, ect
I already do have hosting from a friend and you can vist the current site i have at Here
Ive done all of this in frontpage, so im not the coding type :angel:
+ Im only 14
No offence, but you may well find it more useful to concentrate on learning HTML than attempting to use fancy programs. If it were me I'd get the basics set out in Dreamweaver, and finish it off by tweaking by hand in notepad.
Also, always make sure that your site works correctly in all popular browsers. At the very least, aim for IE, Firefox and Opera.
Flash and Frontpage stink.
So I miss out on all the good animations. Hmm... nose, face, off and cut methinks.
I had a uni module that was to create a website including the navigation :banghead: in Flash- like wwwwwwhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy?????????????????? GRRRRRRRR
Felix - Well its hard to describe but a area at the top for a banner Under it moving Marquee thing then menu, And a box under for the news ect.
If you go to Here
Something like this but with out the Good Morning/ Evening.
Cheers.
P.s If you have your screen set on 1024 by 768 pixels. it looks fine. Thats why im going for something smaller like the link i posted above.
Dude a word of advice from an ex professional web designer.
Flash is, granted, an incredibly powerful tool that has the potential for so much functionality in your website.
However, the temptation is to use it just for the sake of using it. This is why I never use flash in my sites. Simply because unless you have a proper application to put it in, there's no point in using it.
The menu on your site for example - there really is no need to use Flash. All it does is slows down the site and makes it look tacky as it has the Flashbuttons.com thing on the bottom of it. Take a look at the menu for the British/Ecuadorian Chamber of Commerce here and you'll see that a DHTML menu looks and works a hell of a lot better plus it loads in a fraction of a second - good for those with slow connections and Flash and slow connections do not go well.
Thus my advice is the following. For the intro and the games, fine, Flash is ok there. But don't overdo it because the result will just be tacky. Don't use it just for the sake of putting it in going "look at me, I can do Flash". The real skill with Flash is knowing when and where to put it in.
Thanks for your help Wonders if Ex pro website designer would help me...
Yes, I did Design for Multimedia at Wolverhampton Uni 4 years ago. Unfortunately most of the lectrurers came from a traditional graphic design background and loved Flashturbation and had no idea about useability.
Wonders how much money CoolMe has...
I may be a struggling student but even a whore charges.
Fair enough point, i shall leave it.
Thanks anyway
out of curiosity, got a portfolio ?
But now work want me to build them a site for our office and we all think that the main company site is a load of bollocks (and it is) so they've sent me on a college course after work to learn it quicker
