Building a website

Hi, i am going to build a wesite for my parents company. I don't really know anything about building websites but i am open to learn. I am quite good with mac's and semi self taught myself how to use programs such as Final Cut Pro and Logic.
So would iWeb be appropriate, or should i be looking at using a more complex program.
The website will be fairly simple, just text, images and maybe video, possibly a forum.
Thanks very much

iWeb would be appropriate to use and will give you a very professional looking site indeed.
I came to using iWeb from FrontPage. I have built my website for the work that I do and am impressed with the overall professional look compared to the FrontPage version.
Go with iWeb.

  • Hi. I am building a website with the White template. Does anyone know which typeface was used by Apple on the heading index? (I would like to repeat the index at the bottom of my pages).

    Hi I am building a website using iWeb's white template. I can't write HTML, so can't change the index, but would like to repeat it at the bottom of my pages. Does anyone know which typeface Apple used? Presumably it would be 'web friendly' for use as described above?

    Arial
    PS. You can see it in the source of the published page where it says new NavBar etc...
    ".navbar {\n\tfont-family: Arial, sans-serif;\n\tfont-size: 1em;\n\tcolor: #666;\

  • Can You Build a Website with iWeb and then publish it to another server?

    I am very new at this but like how easy iWeb makes it to build a website. A few questions for the newbie:
    1. I want to build a site but have another server I use who would host it. After watching the iWeb tutorials it looks as if you have to publish it on mobileme.com. But I already have hosting with another company. How do you do that?
    2. I also have a domain name I want to show up in the hyperlink bar not mobileme.com/____, is that possible to do with this program?
    3. Are their other templates for iWeb? I see about 12 or so they offer, can you search and download for new ones or is what's there all you have to choose from?
    I appreciate any help on these matters.
    Thanks!

  • Best way to build a website with hundreds of pages

    What is the best way to build a website with hundreds of pages that include businesses in every city of the U.S. I will be building it in Dreamweaver CS4 and pulling the data from an MS Excel spreadsheet.
    I started building it by building the first page and then saving a new page with new data and so on.
    There must be a way to pull from the Excel doc without copying and pasting each page of data, and there must be a way to build this site smaller and easier to make changes when needed.
    Thanks

    You already have other people addressing the DB issues - so I will bring up the other... You are just saving a copy as a new page and then copy and pasting the changed content into  it?
    What you want to do is take the first page, once you have your design done - and save it as a template (file - save as - Dreamweaver Template).
    Then you want to select the areas (most likely the divs you have content in) that will have content changed, and select the div or p or whatever element... and go to Insert - Template Objects - Editible Region.
    Make sure you don't made editable the areas that are the primary design - such as a logo element, a header image, the navigation etc.  If you want to change those - you would do so by making the change on the template, and then it will automatically update all pages made based on that template.
    Once you are done setting up the templates - go to your new page and choose Modify - Templates - Apply Template To Page
    Select the template you just created (note it will be placed inside of a new folder titled "templates" automatically by Dreamweaver).
    Now, any of the areas you selected to add different content into will be selectable, and you can copy/paste or however you are doing so.
    Good luck

  • Is there a good book or tutorial about building a website in AS3?

    I haven't seen any.

    There's one book Flash Professional 8 Beyond the Basics that walks the reader through a step by step process of building a website using AS2.  I was just hoping someone had done the same thing for AS3.  It's not such a big deal really I have a couple of good AS3 books and I've seen some great tutorials at Lynda.com and other places.  I'm able to piece together simple sites as it is.  I wonder if someone has something like this in the works to come out soon, It seems like it's a niche waiting to be filled by a good writer.

  • I'm a newbie - Would you recommend using jdeveloper to build my website?

    I am after some advice.
    I want to build a website which will have a members area and several other bits of server-side functionality.
    I have built 1 or 2 sites using dreamweaver - with PHP and MySQL.
    I could simply build the site with the above but am keen to learn new skills. I have no experience of Java, but I've been advised that I could possibly build my site using JDeveloper. Taking advantage of ADF.
    I have installed the most recent version of JDeveloper and a MySQL database.
    I have managed to set this up and connect to MySQL using the third party jdbc driver.
    Anyway could anybody please answer the following:
    1. If I build my site using jdeveloper with a mysql backend - is there anything I need to know in terms of getting the site hosted. Most hosts I have seen offer a MySQL database with either PHP or MySQL. What do I need to look for?
    2. Can anyone suggest any decent tutorials? I'm not sure if the learning curve is too steep. As I said I have no Java knowledge.
    3. Can anyone suggest any decent samples I can install/run? I found one on otn about a toy store but this required an Oracle backend rather than MySQL.
    4. Anyone other advice or words of wisdom....?
    Thanks

    Yes you can build Web sites with Java - and using JDeveloper and ADF will probably make it simpler for you.
    One thing you'll need is a server that will host a Java application.
    For a sample and a tutorial see the ADF Developer Guide and the SRDemo applicaiton.

  • Can I use form 9i to build a website?

    Hi, everyone,
    I want to build a website based on oracle database. it's about a teaching evaluation system. that mean, teachers and mentors can exchange their idea through this system. I want to know if oracle forms can complete this funcation. if it can build a website? how can it complete the funcation of super link and navigation, etc. or does there some better ideas to build such a website? thank you very much for your great help.
    besides, in the form, can I complete video funcation? for example, uploading video from client and playing it on the client? does anyone use Oracle interMedia? it's about managing multimedia content. how can I integrate this funcation in my system?
    any help will be great appreciated!!

    Dear Grant Ronald
    thank you very much for your help.
    according to your experience, which one is better for a biginner: Jdeveloper, Portlet or Forms.
    just as you said, my application is not a heavy data application. for me, I just want to build it quickly and easily. frankly to say, I think Jdeveloper is too complex. there are so many new technologies to grasp in it. it will be hard to grasp in a short time.
    comparing Portlet with Forms, I never use Portlet, so I don't know which one is more easy and quickly to learn. as for the Form, I know there is no reference books about the newest version 9i. so I can only learn forms 6i plus new features in oracle website. another very important thing is if there are many examples and articles about Portlet on internet. so I can follow up and build my own application quickly.
    another very important factor is that I want to include video content in my application later. for example, uploading the vedio and playing back at the client side. so which tool is better to develop this application? do you use oracle intermedia before? what's the relationship between intermedia and Portlet and Form?
    besides, do you know if Portlet belongs to DS? I mean if I have bought DS, need I buy Portlet?
    thank you very much for your help!
    cheers...

  • Your advice for best resolution/page dimensions for building a website

    Hi.  I would like to know your opinions on what the best resolution to use is prior to building a website in GoLive.
    Is it best to design a site that would fit a monitor screen thats 1024 x 768, considering that 1024 x 768 is probably the most common resolution people use?
    Or should I go higher and design my site at a 1280 x 1024 resolution, which is what I've set my monitor to display that I'm currently using, although
    it's not as common a resolution that most people use...and people with monitors that do not support resolutions higher than 1024 x 768 will have to scroll
    to the right to see the full webpage?
    Or am I overanalyzing this too much, considering that flatscreen monitors are the current trend, and most of those are capable of displaying a 1280 x 1024 resolution, and I'd simply need to add a little message at the top of my site that reads "this site is best viewed at 1280 x 1024 resolution"?
    ...your feedback please.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Well, let me ask your advice on this then.  I've been designing my website in Golive basically by setting up a grid, and placing transparent gifs where I want them to go, with a frame on the left for the menu.
    My website is a unique custom tribal store in which I create and sell all sorts of cool things..
    I have been designing my website to view fully on a 1024 x 768 resolution.  Since I am not using a liquid css layout, if you view my website at 1280 x 1024 resolution, you will see a white column on the right where the website ends at 1024 x 768.  To illustrate what I am referring to, here are the examples;
    viewed at 1024 x 768, it's perfect.
    but viewed at 1280 x 1024, herein lies the problem.
    So, what is your advice on how I should go about laying out my website so that it will scale to view fully on a 1280 x 1024 resolution as well as a 1024 x 768?   The type of layout I need involves a static scrolling left menu column (scaling ok), a static header for my company logo (scaling ok) that does not move when you scroll down the page, and a liquid body that can scale and scroll down while the header stays in place.
    Should I use a liquid css layout, should I continue as I am doing with a basic grid and left frame for the menu, as well as a frame for the header so it remains static, and a frame for the body that scrolls so people can view products...
    I need advice on how to structure the site before I begin adding products and images and things.  What would be the best type of layout to use for what I am trying to accomplish so that it can be viewed fully at virtually any resolution when a person expands or contracts their browser window?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

  • What are the technologies used in building a website?

    Hi there,
    Could you tell me the technologies used to build a website?
    are these technologies enough? Javascript,HTML,Tomcat, DataBase Connectivity?

    It depends on what you want.
    If you want to have some static page and free web host, you only need HTML.
    If you need to have dynamic pages, have database, and many features and probabyl hosting on your local machine, you need lots of different technologies.

  • Best way to build own website?  mac specific...

    Hi,
    I want to build a website on my mac - I have seen a couple of websites where I can pay $7 per month and that includes web hosting software, the domain, email, etc. Or I have seen a couple of Mac softwares that seem advanced but they don't seem to come with the website.
    How do I do this?
    I signed up at work for a free site on Microsoft Office Live. It was very user friendly and I had a site up in minutes. Anything similiar for Mac that also has the advanced design and graphic capabilities?
    Also, can anyone recommend a good place to take a one time web design course in Long Beach, CA? Or on a web site?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Danielle,
    A great way to learn about Macs and creating web sites is to attend a Mac User Group meeting. I Googled for a group in your area:
    http://mac.meetup.com/cities/us/ca/long_beach/
    There are probably more groups in your area, just go to the Apple site and do a search. You can meet other Mac users, get discounts on software and learn a lot!
    An option for creating a site my advice would be a .mac account. Here is info on that: http://www.apple.com/dotmac/ Purchase iLife software, approximately $79.00 for either PPC or Intel based, here's info on that: http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/
    iWeb is very cool and easy to use. You can create sites, blogs, and you can do this in minutes!
    Make sure and read the system requirements for iLife 08:

    Hope this gets you going!

  • Can you build mobile websites in Adobe CS6 Muse similiar to fluid grid layout?

    Can you build mobile websites using Adobe CS6 Muse, similar to fluid grid layout?

    You can certainly use Muse for hosting on other hosts as well. You do lose some of the functionality of Business Catalyst such as In Browser Editing. I just saw that you did your current one in Wordpress ... so I assume there is a blog?
    If so, keep in mind that Muse alone does not have a blog feature. You can integrate a Business Catalyst Blog into it with a bit of knowledge on how BC works.

  • Tutorial Building 1st Website, pt 1

    In the Tutorial Building 1st Website, pt 1, in Fig. 12, there is a guide for the bottom of the browser. That's missing in my ver. of the exercise. How should I correct this?

    Trying to insert a screen shot. Selected Copy from the Muse edit menu, but when I select the camera icon, unable to Paste screen shot in the dialog box "Insert". I could send a .tiff or a .pdf...
    I think I should get Enabling the guides to set page regions --correctly. It seems important.
