DW site to windows office 365 public facing?????

A tech consulting firm recently asked if I had the resources to convert existing websites, likely built with DW, to Office 365 public facing sites. Everything I have read about this software indicates that the process would be hellish, inasmuch as the MS program is designed for people with no web design skills whereas DW is designed for web design professionals.
I understand why a business owner would like to integrate everything into one package, but I don't think dumbing down the website is the answer. Has anyone else ever used this software?

I feel like I'm losing my mind! Here is a  Fortune 500 company web site using Sharepoint public facing: http://www.constellation.com/pages/default.aspx.
Just vaildated it; it contains 93 errors!! Another has a slow-moving Flash component that cannot be controlled by the user and looks like it was built in 1995 at best: http://www.viacom.com/Pages/default.aspx . It contains 59 errors.
What is going on here? The combination of "Cloud" computing and mobile devices is destroying web design! We are regressing!

  • Remove Render Blocking From Office 365 Public Facing Website

    Please does anyone know how to solve this?
    Im trying to optimise my office 365 public facing website with search engines such as Google. Google has found a number of errors on all my pages, one being this Remove Render Blocking from Javascript & Optimise CSS Delivery. What does this mean and
    how do i fix this? Must be someone out there that knows surely.
    The notes Google left where: None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following
    resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
    Thanks

  • How do I add a dismissable notice to my (office 365) public website?

    Hi
    I have a public website and I want to add a small pop-up message that says something like "We have placed cookies on your computer to help make this website better. We use a Google Analytics script which sets cookies. More details can be found in our
    privacy policy. Click here to dismiss this message".
    Ideally this would appear at the top of the page and disappear when clicked.
    Does anyone know how I can do this? There are open source JavaScript's available but all seem to need html changes to the site and I don't think this can be done with the office 365 public website. I can't find anything relevant on the forums but I need
    to do this under EU law as it appears SharePoint uses a cookie and I also want to use google analytics.
    Any help appreciated.
    (this was originally posted on the office 365 forum and MS directed me here)

    hi,
    you can edit the master page for sharepoint online using the sharepoint designer 2013.
    you can add the google analytics and dismissal notice using javascript in master page.

  • Can I run Windows Office 365 through VM Fusion on my Macbook Pro?

    I need to utilize an Outlook 2013 for Windows feature not available on the Mac 2011 version. Specifically, I need to download messages from Dropbox and open and save them with attachment in native .msg format.
    Has anyone had any experience running Windows Office 365 (on Windows 7 or 8) through VM Fusion?  Potential client is very specific about this feature and it's a non-negotiable.
    Thanks, Suzanne

    I use Office 2012 running Windows 7 Pro under Parallels, so I'n GUESSING that it would work just fine under VM Fusion.
    I've encountered no problems whilst running Windows or any Windows-only apps under Parallels. The same should apply under VM Ware as well.
    Good luck,

  • Disable site sharing in Office 365 using CSOM

    I have a requirement to disable sharing of sites and documents in Office 365 site collection using CSOM.
    Manually from UI, I can disable sharing by unchecking Access Request Settings under Site Settings.
    But could not find a way to do it using CSOM.

    Hi,
    If it is an on premises environment, there is a property “RequestAccessEnabled” in SPWeb class in SharePoint Object Model can be used to change the
    setting:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.requestaccessenabled.aspx
    However, in an online environment, the SharePoint Object Model is not an option, what’s more, in Client Object Model which is designed for client side use, there is
    no such a property in Web class available:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.client.web_members.aspx
    It means that it is not able to change the “Access Request Settings” with the client side technology such as JavaScript.
    Thus, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of Office 365:
    http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
    It
    is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
    Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

  • Office 365 Public website error

    I have a three page website. Two of the pages open through browser but the Powerpoint embedded slide show will not. Get the message "Sorry, Something went wrong", "Sorry, you don't have access to this page".
    I embedded the page site by gong to One Drive, Opening the Powerpoint file, going to files, to Share, embed,copy the Iframe.  Then going to the website page,edit,insert,Embed, and paste in the copy.
    I can't figure out how to correct this.

    Hi Bob,
    From the error message, it indicates that you do not have permission to view the page.
    I recommend to check the permission of your account on the page.
    Go to the library where the page exists > select the page and click manage in the quick menu under the library title > select Shard With > click Advanced > click Check Permissions in the ribbon to check the permission of your account.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • What is the best way to implement Carousel i.e. web part in a site page on office 365 site?

    We can implement the Carousel web part in many ways like content By Query Web Part , jquery (nivo) plugin or content search web part etc. But among these which one is the best way to implement to get best performance of the page?
    Thanks

    content search web part always provides best performance because it uses the search. only consideration you need to take is, it does not display the changes immediately and you need to wait for the incremental crawl to happen.

  • Can't open SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer 2013 32Bit but can open Office 365.

    Hello.  I am running Windows 8.1 SharePoint Designer 2013 32Bit (15.0.4615.1000).
    I am unable to open any sites from our SharePoint 2013 OnPremise farm. I can however open sites from our Office 365 environment.
    I get the following error.
    "An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files.  Authors - if authoring against a Web server, please contact the Webmaster for this servers's Web site.  WebMasters - please see the server's application event log
    for more details."
    I have looked in the event log but can't see anything relative.
    I have cleared all caches, uninstalled and reinstalled and followed recommendations in this post.
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/149314.aspx?PageIndex=2
    My colleague with the same setup also has this issue but another doesn't and is able to access the site. I have a Windows 7 Hyper-V VM on my machine and this can open the OnPremise sites.
    I really don't know what else to try short of rebuilding my machine which I would rather not do at the moment.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Try changing security token service application pool password if its expired.
