Creating a website in illustrator

I'm pretty new to the world of web design and I'm seeking your help.
I've created a pretty good looking site in Illustrator and I want to know how to convert that to an HTML file or if this is even possible. I've spent a considerable amount of time on this website and I want to be able to use it. I'm using Illustrator CS3.
Any help is appreciated.

Really, I assumed it was necessary as this forum support html code or did you mean using the amperstand code?

As for placing text over a graphic in Dreamweaver. You can use absolute positioning. However if your page is fluid your text will not move. You may be able to use relative positioning, if you use a negative margin. Something you will have to play with to see if it can work.
Another option is to overlay the graphic with text using Photoshop or Illustrator.

Quickest & Easiest Way To Create & Publish website using Illustrator Designs?

HI there
I am a newbie & more conversant in premier pro than webiste development, however I though I would give it a go. I have watched that many Lynda.com video's I think I have confused myself!
I have created all of the pages I need for my website in Adobe Illustrator & saved them as illustrator documents & HTML also.
I have tried just using a blank page HTML with no columns & liquid centre, however whenever I look at the view my design is only showing up to the left hand side of the screen, not centred at all. Am I meant to put it into a container, or a box around it so it will expand with different browser sizes
I am concerned that perhaps the design itself is too fixed, ie 856 x 554 & that is the problem?
I, ridiculously, have a friday deadline with this & I am feeling fairly pathetic given I am stuck on the 1st step!(Wel not quite, I managed the design & vid editing!)
Thanks
Mandi

Quickest and Easiest isn't always best.
Start here: Without some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, you will be lost.
HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
Then work through this tutorial -

Adobe Creative Suite Confusion. Want to Create a Website

I am so confused by all the information or should I say I am overwhelmed. I am wanting to create a website. I have an idea of the layout of the website. It is basically using a PNG image that I had created as the background. Some rounded rectangle shapes which I need to add (Dont know how to do). I will be using a top naviagtion all text with one button dropdown menu and a header footer and a sidebar. I am so confused with CSS,what it is and why I need it etc. I dont know which tools in the creative suite I need. How is fireworks used. I have seen tutorials where people make sites in photoshop and then take to dreamweaver but I have been told the coding isnt clean. I just need some advice as what to do and where to start. I think it is because there are too many tools. I would purchase additional software if it meant my job is easier but again the coding needs to be clean.

OK, so Creative Suite is real beauty and such fun. If you are going to master Dreamweaver you need to put most of your energy first off into learnign HTML and CSS. Without at least a working knowledge of HTML and CSS Dreamweaver will hurt you, nip and bite you again and again! The more you know about HTML/CSS the easier DW becomes. I use Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver most out of CS and find the first two easier to work out because of my understanding of digital imaging. However, Dreamweaver was difficult until I started becoming more familiar with HTML/CSS. On top of that, you might like to think about some other scripting languages like Javascript and PHP but I reckon you can get by with a little knowledge there because so much of that stuff is available off the web.
Personally, I don't do well with video tutorials. I get too easily distracted. I prefer books. David Powers has written some very well regarded books but there are many others.
Online resources are pletiful and w3schools is a good place to start. Adobe's own tutorial stuff is great too. With web design and development you will find that there are heaps of resources (and opinions) out there and maybe, the best thing to do is to build your own site.
With regards your statement, "I can't make shapes in dreamweaver" maybe you should find out a bit more about the DOM, document flow, and the box model. In my head, you don't make shapes with Dreamweaver. A web page is a series of elements (in general terms, boxes) that you code up with HTML and style or manipulate with CSS and maybe, javascript. A web page is nothing like a printed page.
Take this tiny snippet of code:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<h1>A Header or Title</h1>
<p>A paragraph of some meaningless text</p>
<h2>A Meaningless Subheading</h2>
<p>A second paragraph of some meaningless text that relates to the meaningless subheading</p>
</div>
</body>
That code would render in the browser fine enough. It's a <div> containing a title(<h1>) two small paragraphs (<p>) and a subtitle (<h2>).
Once you have your page structure, you apply CSS to each element as you need it. You can postition them in a rudimentary way with padding and margin and in more complex ways with float or more cautiously, with position. You can add background images, borders, color, and all kinds of fancy things and until you do, each element will just render one after the other, down and accross the page according to the content.

you should also check out youtube. there are a lot of tutorials on there on all the adobe products and probably css too. you can pause and copy the steps in the tutorials too! great place to start as well, for real for real.

Creating a website on Verizon Central

I am using Safari.
When attempting to build a web page using Sitebuilder on Verizon Central's web page, the Sitebuilder only displays the text coding of the site I am attempting to build and will not display the graphical user interface (GUI) or allow me to preview what the site will look like. When I attempt to do the
same thing on a Windows computer using Internet Explorer, Sitebuilder works fine.
Does anyone know how to get Safari to display the GUI so that I can build a website on Verizon Central using my Mac? I have popup blocker turned off.
Verizon Central is located at: http://netservices.verizon.net/portal/site/msa/
You create a website using the tab MY WEB SPACE.
Thanks for your help.
Rob

It would not be that unusual for such sitebuilder stuff to only work with Windows or at best with FireFox on the Mac. You might try the latter if you haven't already.

How can i create a website like this?

Hello Adobe Community
I've had this idea in my head for a while, but i cannot think of how to create it.
I think of creating a website with a very nice layout where you can purchase and submit your own ebooks to sell, and they need to be approved by an admin before it shows up on the website.
I have been thinking about this for some time but i don't have a clue on how to create a website like this and it must take a very long time.http://puu.sh/5Ki7Q.png
My idea: You can hover over the ebooks to get more information about them, you can see star rating and feedbacks / comments under the ebooks.
I need help with getting started on the right track, i don't know very much about Dreamweaver, but i am starting to get good at it. I know HTML and a little CSS.
I would really appreciate any help i can get.

Unless you have very strong coding skills with PHP & MySql, I think you could do most of this with WordPress and WordPress plugins for e-commerce, star ratings, lightbox viewer, reviews, etc...

How can I create a website on iweb if my operating system is leopard?

I'm trying to create a website using iweb. Everytime I try to open an account with mobileMe I can't because I guess mobileMe will no longer function after June 30 I think. Can I still open the account and publish a website since it's still May?

No. MobileMe stopped accepting new sign ups a long time ago in preparation for it no longer being here at the end of June. If you already have a MobileMe account, then you can continue to publish there until the end of June, but otherwise no.
You can still publish a website though, but just use a proper host such as GoDaddy or HostExcellence or a lot of the others that are out there.

How do i create a website that allows customer to upload images and text?

I need some help i have a friend who has asked me if i can create a website that allows them to upload their own images and text at their leisure.
His company is in the car sales trade so they need to regularly be updating their stock, and this needs to be done by somebody with limited computer knowledge so ease of use is fairly important.
I am using dreamweaver cs4 on a G5 Imac running Snow leopard 10.6.8, my skills are limited to creating uncomplicated websites but i am very keen to learn, i am aware of content management systems such as Druplal but have zero knowledge on how to use these.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Although putting together a form that would upload images and all the descriptions required seems like a fairly straghtforward project, depending on your current skill set.

If you are talking about changing the size of the bleed, just go to File > Document Setup.

How do I create a barcode in illustrator

Hi,
How would I go about creating a Barcode in Illustrator?
I used to work in Corel Draw where it had the option of creating a Barcode, now I am uncertain how to do it in Illustrator.
Thank you for your help!

Sandra,
I am afraid Illy is the wrong one to ask to create hyperlinks.
How about saving as a PDF and create the hyperlink there?

Hi DaFilm!
The choice of the editor depends upon your own abilties in Webdesign and your ambitions in the future.
NVU (or Dreamweaver): very powerful, you can expand your site in almost every way including exotic techniques like php or so. You need at least good basics about building a website.
price: NVU is free, Dreamweaver very expensive
iWeb: if you want to make a personal project on .mac without any greater ambitions, without scratching even the surface of webdesign it´s your choice (the exported html-code is far less than optimized, perhaps in version 2.0 you can really use it)
Sandvox, Goldfish and Rapidweaver are inbetween iWeb and NVU (or Dreamweaver). Easy to use templates and you can change the look (theme) of the entire site with one click. With iWeb you can´t. If you wan´t to develope your site by learning advanced techniques you can use pure html or php by inserting. Sandvox and Goldfish are brandnew with some good features. RapidWeaver is (almost) in Version 3.5 containing the expiriences of some years of development.
All of them are about 35 - 49 $
Regards,
A.W.

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>
