Designing webpages on a mac

Hey guys,
I run a radio show out of St. John's, NL, and we're trying to get our digital presense stronger. Does anyone know any good, usable software that will make creating a webpage simple for a mac?
The site is www.afterthemovies.com ... We're really interested in making it a strong site, but it's a long, painful designing process.
Thanks,
-- Kenny

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to this one sooner. RapidWeaver is theme based. No HTML coding is needed unless you wish to do so. The themes can be modified easily, CSS and javascript can be used to modify the themes or content even further. There are many themes to choose from beyond the included themes, some free. Beyond themes there is a wide assortment of page types to be used within a theme and a web site can use one or more themes, external sites can be called. Going a step further, there's additional plugins that will allow you to create complex sites. A blank template is available with instructons to create your own themes. There are also 3rd party apps that support RapidWeaver. It can become quite a system unto itself.
I've used a few programs but this one allows me to toss together a complex, large site fast, the code is clean and managing the sites is effortless. Try a demo, you might be surprised.
Personally, I'd like to see how iWeb developes. There's some fine things in that program.

Is iWeb designed webpage/site uploadable only to .mac?

If I create an iWeb designed webpage/site will it be uploadable to any other web host or is it designed to work exclusively with .mac? I already have registration with and plan to use Godaddy.com. If iWeb is incompatible, then what is a good, basic, software program for designing a basic business webpage or site consisting of no more than 3-4 pages? Thanks.

Hi,
Don't get the idea that iWeb works only for small sites. I have two sites, each encompassing over 100 pages of text plus graphics. it works fine for them, so long as no webpage is too long -- in which case, only part of the page shows when it is published to .Mac. I solved that problem by ending each page before the point where it quits publishing, and then add a "NEXT >>>" link, which carries the reader to the next webpage where the information continues.

No. Standalone licenses use a platform-specific serial number. Only Creative Cloud is avialable on both platforms with the same license.

Graphic Design w/ 13.3" Mac Pro??????

I am about to start Graphic Design school and the Mac Pro that they issue seems a little 'small' for a graphic design program. Can I get some opinions. Especially from GD users. I will be using the following software:
Software:
·         Adobe Master Collection
·         Microsoft Office Suites
·         Final Cut Pro
·         Keynote
·         PopChar
The Mac Book Pro OS/X details:
Processor
2.8 GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7
Cache
3MB shared L3 cache
Memory
4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM; supports up to 8GB
Graphics
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory1
Hard disk drive2
750GB Serial ATA, 5400 rpm
Optical drive
8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD+/-R DL/DVD+/-RW/CD-RW)

It should be able to run what you're planning on using it for....
I do however, suggest you do the following if you want speed.
Upgrading the RAM to 16GB will work for Adobe.....
When you upgrade your RAM - your video RAM also get's upgraded to 512MB which will help a little with FCP.
Swapping the drive to a 240GB or 256GB SSD will give you a nice performance boost with FCP.
Expect to spend around $300 to $350 depending on the brand of RAM and SSD you install.
Basically somewhat of a similar Macbook but I have the i5 processor instead of the i7 - the i7 being faster.
I spent $125 for the 16GB (8GBX2) Patriot Mac Series DDR3-1333MHz and spent another $225 for a Kingston HyperX 3K SSD.
That gives me a very fast Macbook Pro. See image below - RAM and Speed of the SSD. Stock hard drive was at 75MB/s read and write speed - see the difference with the SSD.

Creative Suite Design Standard 6 for Mac

I bought CS Design Standard 6 for Win two years ago. Now I would like to buy a Mac. How can I get the same Creative Suite for Mac or do I get a new serial number for Mac when I pay extra money ?

Hi There,
We would like to inform you that if you in order to use Design Standard 6 on MAC, you would need to purchase a MAC serial number.
Buy CS6 : Creative Suite 6
Alternative is to purchase Creative Cloud which you can use on both mac and win without paying additional cost after enrolling in a subscription.

Can I upload CS6 design standard onto two macs?

Can I upload CS6 design standard onto two macs?
Was about to buy CS6 design standard student teacher edition, and have two macs, so was wondering if I can install on two devices? Or do I need to buy an additional license - if so how can I buy another license?
Please help! I don't want creative cloud!!

Hi Seetybaby,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Yes, you can use it on 2 machines. You have to download the file on the new system or use the disc if you have.
Then use the same serial number. If you require the setup file please use the below link.

Industrial Design & CAD -- Switching to Mac (Within A Company)

Hi all.
With the stalled global economy, our IT budget is frozen here at my company, probably for at least a year. So, what better time to ressurect my case for Macs at work to replace our Dells? If you can help, please read on...
I'm an industrial designer in a small group (8 persons full-time in North America, with an additional 5-or-so contractors) within a large manufacturing company (3000+ employees globally). We use mainly Photoshop, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and Illustrator as our 2D apps, which are all available for OSX. We also use Microsoft Office, and there is an OSX flavor of that, too. Unfortunately, we also use Autodesk AutoStudio, which is currently available only for Irix, Linux & Windows. I'm not even sure if it supports Vista or 64-bit. That's our main 3D app, though. A couple of virtual showroom apps, but we're more flexible on that (while we network our AutoStudio licenses, something like Autodesk's Showcase would, I believe, run just fine with a locall license under bootcamp).
My Dell Precision 690 is a good machine, actually. What I don't care for is the "long arm of the law" our IT group has put in place in terms of how it piecemeals out applications.
For example, I cannot open Illustrator documents out of Bridge, as one would expect. I must view the file in Bridge to know what I want, go back to Illustrator and manually search by filename. This is due to the odd installation process they've put in place here. Illustrator should be installed along with the rest of CS(2, in our case) in order to function properly, something we're unable to do with our setup. Also, I have been having major file-renaming issues with Illustrator that our IT department is both unable and unwilling to solve, as well as what appears to be an expired support contract with Adobe.
It seems that we overpay IT for every last piece of hardware & software, with very little benefit in terms of warranty or service. One example is when we paid $1000 for a (then, now cheaper) $500 Wacom tablet. I figured that "double-the-price" setup ensured us some sort of replacement warranty, but when I did have technical problems, we paid for both the service call AND the replacement hardware. Gadzooks! Despite the perception of Macs as being more expensive than Window-boxes, not only was this Dell box I'm using pretty pricey, but all the IT charges, I'd like to think we could offer a cost improvement by "breaking out" of the system.
So, my motivation is political. But it is also that I have a preference for OSX when it comes to networking, using Adobe applications & overall appearance (both the interface and also of my physical workspace!)...
Anyone here ever had to make an IT case to "break away" a creative department from the parent? Any hints in terms of business case of maintenance costs of Macs vs PCs? Service contracts with Mac people? Any helpful links or books you could recommend? I've been Googling some terms with no luck.
I think my ultimate proposal would be to keep on "company" Dells over in the (shaded, depressing) corner of the room for email & CAD work, but to use Mac Pro (or MacBook Pros) for our 2D work. Until Autodesk lists Macs as "approved hardware" on their site, we'll never convince to company to go the bootcamp route (even though I know a colleague who's been using AutoStudio on Windows on a Mac Pro 17". Says it works flawlessly).
Anyway, any help or words of wisdom would be appreciated. Also, please feel free to share your own experiences with proposing a "switch." Things to watch out for, etc. Also, if there is another place (either here at Apple or elsewhere) you'd suggest I post, please let me know that, too. It's a bold new world, baby.
Thanks & apologies for the length.

ps/ Below it says I use a PowerBook G4. This is my personal computer. At work, I'm using a 2-year old...
Dell Precision 690
Intel Xeon CPU
5160 @3.00 Ghz
3 GB RAM
Windows XP Professional, 2002 , SP2
We have networked (floating) profiles using a locked-down flavor of XP (nothing but bright blue task bars, all day long. When it comes to Windows, I'm a "classic" man. No such luck here...).

Hey Chris,
I'm also an industrial designer but switched over to exhibit design from product design years ago. I was lucky to develop the dept. when the need for computers was new. (12 years ago) I went Mac all the way and we still maintain a strong Mac presence in the design dept. We have detailers still on ACAD on there PC's. Our outside IT guys are difficult to work with and high priced. The Macs never need the amount of attention the PC's get from the IT guys. We use FormZ as our 3d modeler and it exports and imports dwgs nicely. I've heard of Solidworks and Vellum for the Mac for more detailed work. Lightwave, Modo, Formz, Cinema 4D and Maxwell for renderings. (the pretty pictures that sell)
Are you guys able to switch apps? After a few new hires to our dept, they came in w/ 3DS experience and pushed that. It was easy to say it would be a lateral move and all the money to invest in that direction would only give us the same results at the end of the day. BUT, our IT bills would have been more if we did move to the PC side. Maybe if windows7 is ok, i may load it, but have no reason too.
I found it interesting that if you get a virus on the windows side, while using a mac, you can use TimeMachine to go back before the virus; what I was told from someone at an Apple store. I thought that was big and shocked APPLE doesn't sell that more.
Anyway, keep us posted on your progress.
Good luck.

Have a fill-in form designed in acrobat 8 (MAC), trying to send from PC adobe 9

I have a form which was designed on a mac acrobat 8. The form works when sending via email, data collection when coming back, etc., however we have taken that same form and pulled it over to a PC acrobat pro 9 and we can send through the distribute forms function via email the person fills-in the form, however when we open the returned form the dialog box that normally appears to ask how you want to collect the data or what you want to do for data collection does not appear. You can open like any pdf and view the data.
What is more weird is the same form we can iniate the send from the mac, and then open on a PC and the dialog box appears. It just doesn't work and you don't get the data collection dialog box or tracking page when you iniate a send from a pc and then open on a PC.
Do I need to rebuild the form on the PC in 9, or am I missing some step on the PC side when I send?

Please post this in the Acrobat support area, you'll get a better answer!

Possible or not upgrade PC version CS4 Design Premium to Apple Mac version

I have a big problem. Last year I bought a CS4 Design Premium package for the PC. However, I am switching systems to Apple (iMac) in a month and my CS4 for the PC won't work on an Apple Mac system. Buying new photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign is more expensive than I can afford. Is there a way to change or upgrade from PC to Mac? I hope anyone can help me.
Kind regards
Marjolein

Yes its called a Cross-Grade. You need to call Sales dept at Adobe There may or may not be some fee involved. Most software companies allow it. You may be asked to Destroy your PC Disk. Or
You and buy Parallels for your new Mac then install windows on the Parallels Partition (if you already have a Separate Windows install DVD). To get up and running if you don't have a packaged version (not OEM) of windows would be buy buy the cross Grade. If you have a Packaged version of Office laying around then buying Parallels for the Mac would be cheaper.

How do I FTP my webpages to my .mac account?

I am creating my site in iweb '08 and publishing to a folder. I would prefer to FTP my site into my dotmac account and into my idisk. I have tried ftp.apple.com/dotmac and idisk.mac.com/username-Public. Im just not sure what the address is at this point. I am using captain FTP for my client. Also should I use passive mode and/or SSL? Thanks for any input !!

I would prefer to FTP my site into my dotmac account
.Mac doesn't use FTP, so you can't do that. You need to use webdav or just drag and drop into your mounted iDisk.
A site you publish to a folder may be lacking some features included in a site you publish directly, since it is designed to be used on a different server.

Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard compatible with MAC OS 10.10.2?

I have the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard, but when I need to print from Adobe illustrator CS3 it will popup the following error
Anyone can help?

You are welcome, Priscilla.
If you have upgraded to Yosemite without reinstalling CS3, you may uninstall in the same way as you normally uninstall, then install again in the same way as when you first installed it. You may rn the Cleanar Tool in between, to be on the safe side with regard to strange things lingering, but it should be unnecessary if everything has worked before the Yosemite upgrade.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
As mentioned, you should update your CS3:

Concerning drivers I have no clue, I am afraid, being too silly to use a Mac.
