Create website with IDCS3 and SiteGrinder?

Media Lab's SiteGrinder is an amazing product for easily converting Photoshop designs into working websites without any knowledge of coding. Unfortunately, I have much more experience with InDesign than with Photoshop, but as it's possible to import InDesign files into Photoshop, I'm wondering if I can go this route with my InDesign designs, rather than learn how to use Photoshop more extensively. Has anyone here created a website with InDesign and SiteGrinder, with minimal Photoshop "intervention"?

> Are you referring to everything crowding and overlapping when the text is enlarged? Isn't that a common problem with all sites?
It's common -- far too common -- but not inevitable. It's bound to happen with SG, though, because they carve up the layout into fixed size chunks and then use absolute positioning, so there's no way for the containers to accommodate changes in font size except by crashing into each other, or growing scroll bars, which is only sometimes going to work. For the same reason -- starting with a single Photoshop image -- they can't identify headings or lists, so the pages aren't properly accessible to some assistive technology. If you don't care about accessibility, you should realize that this also means that they become hard or impossible for search engines to analyze, so people aren't going to find your site so easily.
But I guess this discussion is a bit out of place on an InDesign forum. To get back to that, if you wanted to start in InDesign, the best thing to do is use XML export to get properly marked-up XHTML, and then lay it out with CSS. There's a good piece about doing this somewhere over on InDesign Secrets -- I don't have the exact URL to hand. But you would have to learn some CSS to do that. It seems that you are determined to go with SiteGrinder, though, so I can only recommend that you try things like changing the font size, and checking it with different browsers, so that you don't end up with something too awful. But if you do find the time to read, for example, Zeldman's book on Designing with Web Standards, you'll end up better at making sites than if you don't.

  • 2 websites with behance and creative cloud

    Hi, I have the creative cloud and I created un website with behance and the creative cloud, I would like to create a second website with behance/creative cloud, is it possible ?

    Hello,
    I wrote a mail to this adress you have me (us). Here is the answer:
    Hi there Staf,
    Thanks for reaching out. In essence, you'd be creating an entirely new and separate AdobeID and Behance account. You'll go ahead and upload work or co-own existing work and then create a new Prosite and complete a new payment as well.  
    If you want to link your projects, you can do so by co-owning the projects with your new account via the Project Edit Settings (step 3).  Let me know if you have any other specific questions!Al
    So, a second website is not included in the same subscription. New ID, new payment.

  • When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

    When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

    You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
    You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway.  Find this file and you can alter your website.
    Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File.  If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.

    and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

    Find a webhosting company :

    They will provide the instructions how to password protect a directory (=folder)?

    Welcome to the 'wonderful' world of HTML5 e-learning.
    In my view, from the issues I am seeing everywhere, HTML5 output from rapid e-learning tools such as Captivate is not ready for the kind of mobile device e-learning you want to develop.
    Sorry to be pessimistic, but you may need to consider going back to the drawing board and coding it from the ground up.

  • Create dll with arrays and call it

    I am trying to create dll with labview in order to pass a 2d array to the main program. The problem is that I don't really know how to create the function to call it (I don't know much about pointers)
    The function I have created to call the dll is void Untitled1(TD1Hdl *Array1) which is suposse to return the array created on it.
    For example, in the program attached, how should I do to pass the array to another program using dlls?
    Thanks a lot,
    Juanlu

    The code you've provided doesn't do anything (just a control wired to an indicator) so I'm not sure what you're asking here.
    If I understand correctly, you want to build a DLL from your LabVIEW VI.  From what language will you call that DLL?  There is no standard way to pass a 2-D array.  If you can convert to a 1-D array, you can use a simple pointer.  With a 2-D array, you're stuck with LabVIEW's array representation (the TD1Hdl type), which means that whatever code calls that function will need to understand the LabVIEW data type and how to manipulate it.

  • Creating websites in photoshop and export to dreamweaver

    Ok. I NEED HELP!!! I tend to create complex designs in
    photoshop, and I can never get my images to line up correctly in
    Dreamweaver. I had sliced each image in photoshop, and saved them
    as HTML and Images, I open it up in dreamweaver, and none of my
    buttons work. I have also tried creating tables in a layout, but it
    never lays out the way I want it to. If anyone knows how to do this
    and create complex designs as well, please give me a hint on how to
    do it. I been having a hard time for a while and I am about to go
    to this program that does all of that for me while in photoshop.
    Also, if anyone heard of Site Grinder 2 (a site builder that
    works with photoshop and helps you create webpages)? It seems
    interesting, but I want to make sure I do not spend unecessary
    money.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    I think it's worth your time. It's a nice product. If you
    have no
    intention or interest in learning HTML and CSS, it's about
    the only way to
    create stable webpages....

  • Creating model with Control and Design LV2009

    Hello,
    I'm trying to make a PI control model with Control and Design in labview 2009. I'm tyring to create the following transferfunction:
    D(z)=Kp+((Kp*Ki)/(1-z^-1))
    But labview adds by itself an extra z^-1 in the Numerator
    See the attachment what I have tried. I first want to create 1+(1/(1-z^-1)). What I'm I doing wrong ?
    Greetz,

    Jeroen,
    The two expressions "1+(1/(1-z^-1))" and "(2-z^-1)/(1-z^-1)" are equivalent to one another.  They just have the terms rearranged.  Since LabVIEW expresses a transfer function as a numerator and denominator, it is drawing the function as "(2-z^-1)/(1-z^-1)".  You aren't doing anything wrong.

  • Creating website with 3rd party server using blogspot or wordpress's domain name?

    Hi all!
    I just wonder...
    I am now offered a free hosting service and I want to create my personal site with iWeb.
    Questions come:
    I don't really wish to buy a domain since the free service only last for half a year and I just want to try out blogging...
    Is it possible for me to use create a iWeb made site using blogspot or wordpress domain and 3rd party hosting service?
    Thanks in advance. Coz i really have no experience on this

    The short answer is no.  WordPress and Blogspot are two totally different things and are blogging systems and you can use these for free, but what you do is create a username and your blog is then pubished to WordPress servers etc., so your blog url is then http://username.wordpress.com.
    If you want to create a site with iWeb and avail yourself of free hosting and upload there, then you'll need to register a domain name.
    Wordpress, iWeb and Blogspot are totally different and the only way in which you can use both is to create your site in iWeb and then upload to the free hosting and just create a link from your iWeb site to your blog created with either WordPress or Blogspot.
