Very bad practice to just use image slices into your website.
Check out this tutorial to learn how to efficiently slice, dice and markup your design into an active HTML format - http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/slice-and-dice-that-psd/
Also, Spry - has been deprecated and is no longer officially supported by Adobe. http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l

How to make a website very fast to update Using Dreamweaver?

I am working with a client right now who does not have the knowlege or nessesary time to update her up and coming shows, concerts, etc. is there a tool that works with Dreamweaver that can allow this artist who know no web design to update that information from say a computer or a smart phone? also, I know it is not related to the question at hand but; can Dreamweaver work with WordPress? in other words; can i design a website in Dreamweaver and have it easily editable using WordPress?

is there a tool that works with Dreamweaver that can allow this artist who know no web design to update that information from say a computer or a smart phone?
The best way for your client to update her shows etc, is for there to be a backend where he/she can log into. The backend will contain a CRUD module that he/she can use to update a database table.
The frontend will then dybamically show that data.
can Dreamweaver work with WordPress? in other words; can i design a website in Dreamweaver and have it easily editable using WordPress?
This can be done.

After i designed a website for desk top how do i save the site for cell phone

after i designed a website for desk top how do i save the site for cell phone use

I don't think you can simply save a desktop design as a cell phone design. While in Muse and in the site plan view for you website you should see three tabs near the top of the page. If you click the "Phone" tab, you will get a pop-up dialog box asking which element you would like to copy over from your desktop site (if any). You must then design the site for cell phone use. You can use the same objects, pictures, etc. from your desktop site and Muse should automatically optimize those elements for phone use. However, Muse does not automatically take a desktop design and create a cell phone design from it.
As I understand it, Muse uses user-agent detection to decide which site it wants to display to the user. You however, need to create the different versions of your site so that Muse can apply a specific design for the intended use.

META TAGS? How do I change meta tags while designing my website in iweb?

META TAGS? How do I change meta tags while designing my website in iweb?

I've designed a new website using iWeb. (I'm a beginner and have never done this before.) I published it to MobileMe. The site is for a volunteer organization, which requires that all pictures and images have text tags. (For this purpose, I assume that's the same as Meta tags.) A rep at the local Apple store clued me into iWebSEO Tool ("SEO"). I used it successfully got all my pictures and images tagged, altho it was hard and took a few hours. This was two months ago. I checked my site earlier this week and all the tags have disappeared. I went back to SEO and all my original work was still there. So I hit re-apply and then saved and republished my site. Still no tags. I have several questions. Is this a regular problem with SEO? Do I have to do all the tags over again? Is there any easier solution? Is Apple going to improve iWeb so this is not a problem in the future? I'll appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

How does Dreamweaver CS4 work with CS3 Design Suite?

I am looking to purchase Dreamweaver on my computer however I currently have the CS3 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator installed on my computer. Will the DW CS4 version work if the rest of my Design Suite is CS3 or should I look to purchase CS3 if available? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Dreamweaver 3 will open a file in Photoshop, so DW CS4 should do the same. I think you might have problems with Adobe's Bridge. And it's possible that DW CS4 might decide that previous versions of Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop or Illustrator are not supported. So workflows may be a little more disjointed.
So the real question will be: Do the advantages of DW CS4 outweigh possible hurdles in workflow?
I will frequently open and replace graphic images using Photoshop without Dreamweaver open and, when I open the website, everything falls into place. I did that for a number of color changes and I worked exclusively in Photoshop for the first part of my day, replacing colors that were designed to be part of the website with the client's specific pick. I tend to save graphics as .PSD files and then use Photoshop's Export to Web and in CS3, Photoshop will remember two different paths for a Save (PSD) and a Save to Web.

Photoshop to design a website

I am new to using the adobe products. Up to this point I have been using wordpress to design and build websites for friends. I am starting to get more friends asking me to build sites for them.
Does Adobe have any free tutorials that I can review that can show me how to layout and design a website using photoshop?
The last website I did was www.thetop40.com and I want to create something like this again.

How to build a website with working pulldown menus on iPad and iPhone?

Hi everyone!
I have designed a website, http://fccr.ucsd.edu/ , base on "Template #1" by Chris Converse, available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dreamweaver_custom_templates.html
The pull-down menus have a curious glitch on the iPad/iPhone which I wanted to ask for help on from anyone who might be knowledgeable on this issue (I have also posted this question on the apple pages, but so far without much constructive help...)
Template #1 has various href="#" tags that presumably the user is to fill in. This works fine on all desktop browsers I checked (IE/Firefox/Opera/Chrome/Safari), but if the tag corresponds to a menu that has to pull down, then by replacing this default tag with a URL, an iPhone/iPad will insist on following the link rather than allowing the menu to pull down. This is a reasonable consequence of using a finger rather than a mouse (which can both hover and click) to operate the menu. Fair enough, it is straightforward to design the dropdown menu layout so that its entries are either links OR designed to open up a new pull-down menu. (future users of these templates should probably be warned about this...)
There is a little glitch, though. If you are exploring Template #1 (or my website) with an iPhone or an iPad, the first pull-down menu which you attempt to pull down after you load a new page will initially not function. However, all of the other pull-down menus will function after that, and after you pull down a different menu, the original pull-down menu that you originally attempted to pull down will also work.
This appears to be a curious feature (bug?) in the implementation of the <UL>, <LI>, and/or <A> tags in the iPhone and iPad browsers. The site http://www.bestbuy.com/ uses the same three tags with some slightly different code behind it, and it somehow avoids this issue (that is, it works correctly on both all five major Desktop browsers and the iPhone/iPad).
Thus, I would very much like Adobe's help to figure out what bestbuy is doing with their use of the <UL>, <LI>, and/or <A> tags in their pull down menus, so that these menus work without this little glitch on the iPhone/iPad, and then to see if we can modify Chris Converse's Template #1 (and my web page) to do the same...
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
- Tom

Hi Tom,
You might want to read this article:
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/ug-examples/accessible/index.htm
I don't know of any other menu tool that offers this type of solution - but I thought I'd chime in because the other answers seemd (through no one's fault) that this could not be done ;-)

From a Technical Architect point of view, how to design a web application?

Hi to all,
I am writing this issue here because I this question is not related on how to program, but on how to design a web application. That is, this question is not related to how to program with the technologies in J2EE, but how to use them correctly to achieve a desired outcome.
Basically I know how to develop a simple web application. I like to use SpringFramework with AcegiSecurity and Hibernate Framework to persist my data. I usually use JBoss to deploy my web applications, however I could easily use Tomcat or Jetty (Since I am not using EJB�s).
However I have no idea on how to develop (or a better word would be �design�) a website which is divided into different modules.
Usually when you develop a website, you have certain areas that are public, and other areas that are not. For example, a company would want anyone on the Internet to download information about the products they are selling, however they would only want their employees to download certain restricted information.
Personally I try to categorise this scenario in to common words; Extranet and Intranet.
But � (and here starts the confusion in my mind) should I treat these two as two projects, or as one project? The content to be displayed on the Extranet is much different then the content to be displayed on the Intranet and definitely clients should not be allowed to the Intranet.
First approach would be to treat them as the same project. This would be perfect, since if the company (one day) decides to change the layout of the website, then the design would change for both the Intranet and the Extranet version. Also the system has a common login screen, that is I would only need to have employees to have a certain Role so that they have access to the intranet, while clients would not have a certain Role and thus they would not be allowed in. But what about performance and scalability? What if the Intranet and Extranet have to be deployed on the different Hardware!?
The second approach is to threat them as two separate projects. To keep the same layout you just copy & paste the layout from one project to another. However we would not want to have two different databases to store our users, one for the employees and the other one for the clients. Therefore we would build a CAS server for authentication purposes. Both the Intranet and the Extranet would use the same CAS server to login however they could be deployed on different hardware. However what if we want to change the design. Do we really want to have to just copy and paste elements from one project to another? We all know how these things finish! �We do not have time for that � just change the Extranet and leave the Intranet as it is!�
The third approach (and this is the one I like most) is to have a single project built into different WAR files. The common elements would be placed in all WAR files. However in development you would only need to change once and the effects would show in the different war files. The problem with this approach is that the project will be very big. Also, you will still need to define configuration files for each one of them (2 Web.config, 2 Spring-Servlet.config, 2 acegi-security.config, etc).
Basically I would like something in the middle of approach 2 and approach 3! However I can identify what this approach is. Also I can not understand if there is even a better approach then these three! I always keep in mind that there can always be more then two modules (that is not only Intranet and Extranet).
Anyways, it is already too long this post. Any comments are more then welcome and appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi to all,
First of all thanks for the interest shown and for the replies. I do know what MVC or Multi-layered design is and I develop all my websites in that way.
Basically I have read a lot of books about Domain-Driven Design. I divide my web applications into 4 layers. The first layer is the presentation layer. Then I have the Facade layer and after that I have a Service layer (Sometimes I join these two together if the web application is small enough). Finally I have the Data Access layer where lately I use Hibernate to persist my object in the database.
I do not have problems to understand how layering a web application works and why it is required. My problem is how to design and develop web applications with different concerns that use same resources. Let me give an example:
Imagine a Supermarket. The owner of the Supermarket want to sell products from the website, however he wants to also be able to insert new products from the website itself. This means that we have two different websites that make use of the same resources.
The first website is for the Supermarket clients. The clients can create an account. Then they can view products and order them. From the above description we can see that in our domain model we will have definitely an object Account and an object Product (I am not mentioning all of them). In the Data Access layer we will have repository objects that will be used to persist the Account and Products.
The second website is for the Supermarket employees. The employees still need to have an account. Also there is still a product object. This means that Account and Product objects are common to the two websites.
Also important to mention is the style (CSS). The Supermarket owner would like to have the same style for both websites.
Now I would not like to just copy & paste the objects and elements that are common to both websites into the two different projects since this would mean that I have to always repeat the changes I make in one website, inside the other one.
Having a single WAR file with both websites is not an option either because I would not like to have to deploy both websites on the same server because of performance and scalability issues.
Basically so far I have tought of putting the common elements in a Jar File which would be found on the two different servers. However I am not sure if this is the best approach.
As you can see my problem is not about layering. I know what layering is and agree with both of you on its importance.
My question is: What is the best approach to have the same resources available for different websites? This includes Class Files, CSS Files, JavaScript Files, etc.
Thanks & Regards,

How To Create A Website Background Video In Adobe Edge ?

Hello,
I have video file in my computer SSD drive and i want it to play as background on my web page (page that i am creating).I did try to follow this video:

Steps i do in Adobe Edge Animate CC
1.) Create New
2.) i click + sign under section Library >> Scripts >> Add JS File from URL...
URL that i am adding is: http://www.edgehero.com/edgehero.js/1.2/edgehero_1.2_min.js (URL is taken from site: Edgehero.js )
I add this link: http://www.edgehero.com/edgehero.js/1.2/edgehero_1.2_min.js to box that occures after i click on Add JS File from URL
3.) I go to Edgehero.js and from there i scrol down to section named as Media - Html5 video / Html5 audio
and i select from there this:
there is a code:
// this will set the video as background of the div/rectangle
backgroundvideo_1 ='movie.mp4';
// put new edgehero.js variables here

Need advice on how to make my website look better!

ive made a website for a security company but im just not 100% happy with it, i dont know if it doesnt look professional enough or things need changing design wise. i am open to any ideas on how to make my website look better, i also dont mind if anyone wants to dramtically change it if their idea is better. I would just very much appreciate a review and constructive critisism and ideas for a newly designed version of the site please!

Thanks!

As a novice, some things I see: The footer has redundant, unecessary images (4 large images-for your services--REDUNDANT) odd? The text part of footer: text seems close, scrunched, have some space between heading and items, DO NOT CENTER TEXT!,
One of the service links bought to page with SAME LARGE image on homepage-change picture, don't use same large image for 2 different pages.
DO NOT use CONTACT US as 1 of 5 links on menubar. Do in another creative way, and/or use footer for contact. I think this looks amateurish (my opinion of course).
If I remember, the homepage and the rest of site, have exact same page structure.--See if you can atleast change the structure of inner pages versus the homepage.
Didn't look at enough, but..maybe...
each of your services should be a main menu link on your menubar. I would not put contact us on menubar, and you also had another menubar link with no dropdown( of course ok, but maybe could restructure)--Also your last service (on right of menubar)---why is that one different, and not included with the other services??
Seems like your menubar (items) structure could be reworked.--I would suggest, briefly looking at, to maybe have each service as a primary menu heading/title..YOU MAY NOT NEED A DROPDOWN MENU? Make sure if dropdown it is necessary.
Local security should be one of your services.
Have your footer logo, as is to left, but maybe put your footer links more to the right;;It will 'balance' the footer section
Your top logo seems too close to your main LARGE image (Which btw, seems oddly large compared to the rest of your site?)--That LARGE top image(the same palce on every same looking page), seems too big for your page--Why doen't it line up with the rest off your page content?

Not sure what changes you made so this is a wild guessing game.
This may be a browser cache issue - have you refreshed your browser or viewed the page in a different browser?

New to Flash designing a website

Hello All;
I am very familier with website design however, this is my
first attempt at designing a website completely in flash. I have
learned quite a bit over the last couple of weeks playing with this
project and really like the abilities and functionality of flash.
Here is my major problem which I have tried to resolve several
ways. The issue was how to have multiple pages. At first attempt, I
thought I can make html pages and put a seperate flash movie for
each page (i.e. home, contact us, ect. ect.) The only way that
works is with using frames and it is very unorganized. The second
method I tried was using scenes. Scenes are either too complex for
me or I missed something in the translation from the tutorials, so
I abandoned that method as well. Finally, what I am using now is
Frames. Frames seam to work well but here is my major problem. So I
make a frame called contact and it is the contact page ofcourse.
When I go to that frame it has everything from the Home/index
frame; I then delete the stuff and somehow I was able to do this
with some of the frames but others when I delete the things they
get deleted from all the frames. Anyone have any idea what I am
doing wrong here. I would really like to make this site completely
in flash and not resort to any html if I can help it. Anyways,
please let me know if what I am doing is possible or just a pipe
dream?
Thanks in advance

Using frames is a good method for building segments of your
site. When you place something on the stage, it will occupy one or
more frames in the timeline. The first frame will be a keyframe,
that's what that filled black dot in the frame means. If you want
something to occupy say 10 frames in your movie's timeline, then
you can go to the eleventh frame and add an empty keyframe. This
will end section of the timeline that contains that particular
