Editing already built website -can it be done?

Hi everyone, I have been using standard Adobe products for a long time, but only recently purchased dreamweaver in the hope i will be able to do some editing of my website www.radarsdirect.com.au
I have acess to the back end, ftp and php files, is there a certain folder you need to copy into the program to get started editing the css, i have watched some videos on youtube but still unsure exactly what to do.
Any help would be deeply appreciated

It can be done, but are you sure you want to do it? How much experience, if any, do you have using Dreamweaver?
How deep into the editing do you need to go? If it's just basic editing like updating text and images, you could probably come up to speed quick enough, or use a different method for content management such as Contribute or ire someone to build you a Content Management System.
So depending on these things, and things like how much CSS is used in the site, is there any database driven functionality or content - that will determine how steep the learning curve is going to be.
In any case, to get started, look up how to set up a Dreamweaver site definition. That will establish the folder where the files will exist on our computer, and will connect to your site via FTP. Once that's set up, download the entire site and all its files to your computer. Then, just open some files and see what you see, it will give you a little insight into what you may be facing. If you want to experiment a little, either site files and experiment with the copies, or be sure to make back up copies of the files you plan to try editing. And don't press that upload button unless you're absolutely sure!

  • Lightroom 2.7, Edit in Photoshop CS5 can it be done?

    I am currenently  running Lightroom 2.7 64-bit. I have upgraded to Photoshop CS5 64-bit. When I gointo "edit in" the only options I get are "edit in photoshop CS3" or "open as a smart object".  When I edit as a smart object photoshop my image is opened in CS5. How do I get Lightroom to recognize CS5 so I can edit in ity instead of CS3?

    Try uninstalling CS3 and then reinstalling CS5.

  • Using Muse, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a website that is already built into a mobile website.

    Using Muse, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a website that is already built into a mobile website. I have no idea how the website was originally built. My client is asking me to build a mobile site for his current site without touching his desktop site. His site was originally built in Dreamweaver I think but he have no way of finding the files and lost contact with his original designer. We don't want to start a new site from scratch with a new domain because he is afraid of losing his seo work.
    In other words. My client site was build in Dreamweaver or something else. I am not a programer and was going to use muse to make his mobile site. So the question is how do I link a muse made mobile site to his desktop site?
    Thank you.

        as62467 We appreciate your G3 question! Let's see how we can help. What you are able to adjust is the USB connection mode by going to the home screen and selecting'recent apps' (in the touch keys bar), settings,storage, the menu (the 3 tiny dots) and tap usb pc connection. If you do not want the software to try and install choose either the internet connection or camera option. Let us know if this helps.

  • I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
    Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
    The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
    Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
    iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
    If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
    Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
    Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
    Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
    Disconnect the device from your computer.
    iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
    Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
    Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
    Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
    Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.
