Good Web Design Application

Hi, I'm designing a web page for my school, Waiakea High School <http://waiakeahigh.k12.hi.us/>, and I want to do something more, something like Hawai`i Preparatory Academy <http://www.hpa.edu/>, something nice (with flash, and you know?). Would iWeb be good for that? Or should I look for another application? Any suggestions would be nice, thanks.

Like I said....your school already has space on a computer server for the website so you don't have to find another web host. If your school will let you put the Leo Club Website on the same server, that would be cool for you. Your school website could still be accessed using the current URL. If you want, you could buy a domain name for the Leo Club site like http://www.leoclub.com and then just set it to forward to the site on your school's computer where you actual Leo Club website would be. Does that make sense? Try to make the best of what you already have at your disposal.

  • Good web design software to replace iWeb

    Hello There,
    I have been using iWeb for a while now, and despite its limitations, I like it.  Now that Apple has discontinued (or will discontinue) MobileMe and some of the features wont be available any more, I decided to move to another web-design program.
    I have downloaded the trial of rapidweaver (the one with the 3 page limit) so I could play with it and see what it was like.  It is HORRIBLE, it is not easy to use, importing pictures seems pretty impossible.  I cant insert pictures like I can in iWeb, I cant drag things around like I can in iWeb - the whole program seems to be template and text based.
    I don't really know how to do coding or anything, so I am not looking for a fancy web-design tool that costs a fortune.  But I want something that I can actually use.  I want to do the following;
    Create pages from scratch if I want to
    Insert images and reposition them
    Insert images into my text and aline them
    Have a blog
    Have a photo gallery
    insert movies (when I want to share them)
    have a chat room
    Have a nice looking site without having to do any serious heavy coding (because I don't really know how to)
    Can someone please suggest to me a good website design program that is comparable to iWeb and with which I can replace the afore mentioned iWeb.  Eervyone says RapidWeaver, but I really didnt like it. 

    Just to promote iWeb for a bit more read the following in case you hadn't considered it:
    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    Now that being said there's been a lot of discussion on replacements to iWeb.  Most of the applications are template driven and make it difficult to start with a clean page.  Roddy has more experience in evalutating those apps.  I decided on Flux.  It's a drag and drop, WYSIWYG application with easy code insertion.  If you've ever added a  3rd party slideshow to an iWeb page with an HTML snippet you can view this Flux tutorial page on how I did it with Flux: F03 - Adding a SimpleViewer Slideshow to a Web Page or this tutorial on adding a multi page PDF document to a web page: F02 - Adding a PDF Document to a Web Page.
    I have to admit it takes a little study but the video tutorials at the Flux site and those 3rd party videos on YouTube help quite a bit.
    If you search this community for "iWeb alternatives" you should get a list of topics discussing the other alternatives.

  • Need Good Web design books - already a print designer

    I'm already very familiar with photoshop, illustator, and indesign and have been using them for years.  I'm now looking to start learing web design and need suggestions on a good book or books that aren't just about dreamweaver or fireworks, but rather something covering the intergration of applications as well as the basics. Any suggestions?
    thanks

    daevaux,
    For a start, you may have a look at the one mentioned by Kath in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437013?tstart=0
    Her post itself is also worth reading, as always.

  • What's a good web design software to use with hype.

    I didn't have luck with sandvox, rapid weaver, or highway. It seems that iWeb is gone and im trying to transition into a diffrent html5 compatible web software. I would like to learn web coding but for now i need a quick and efficiant transsition. I've came across Hype and its great but iWeb can use it. I would love to hear some suggestions on what everyone else is using (not including previously mentioned apps).

    No, iWeb has not gone anywhere.  It is correct that Apple no longer sells it or supports it, but iWeb is an application like any other on your mac and if you have it you can most definitely still continue to use it.  It works with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion and by all accounts, it will work with the new Mavericks too.
    You can do a search of this site and there are literally hundreds of posts on the same topic of new web design software, but you can take a look at Flux 4, Freeway Pro/Express 6, WebAcappella 4 and Quck n Easy Website Builder.  Other than that, you are then looking at Content Management Systems such as Joomla and WordPress.
    You can also take a look at EasyWeb which is a new app being developed by Rage Software - it has not been released yet and is still in its beta testing stage, but this is closer to iWeb than most.

  • Good web design software for Tiger

    At the moment when I write a article for my web ministry http://www.cerm.info in Word I have to copy and paste into AppleWorks for X, save to HTML and then open the file with Home Page 3.x to get my headers at the top. I then use Fetch for OSX and sometimes (yes sometimes) Transmit 1.7.
    I am on a tight budget, but aside from this problem, what would you reccommend to make things simpler for me? No my website is not a multimedia or a design site, so no your suggestions will not help there. My website is a education ministry website, so I'm more concerned about substance, and you computer people cant help in that area. However you can make things easier for me doing this job.
    Ideally I'd like to get a web page designer and editor, and I work on is research, writing, debating, etc... I do not want to deal with the technical nonsense, but I guess this is what I get for running a ministry by myself.
    Thanks for the tips.

    Hello,
    Yes, Netscape is still around. But, they are a small player compared to the old days.
    I really never have liked their browser. But, they are still releasing new versions, and run a fairly decent business.
    They're now with AOL and I think Time Warner. So, it's a huge conglomerate now. And together they work out a pretty good package of services that compliment each other.
    But, the new versions of Netscape and Composer have improved greatly. So, definitely get the latest version. It's a good product for the needs you mentioned.
    I think it's an excellent product. I just don't like the style interface they choose to use for the browser. It's really good. Just not as attractive to me as Safari on the Mac or Internet Explorer on the PC.
    And, for me the user Interface is what decides which product I use.
    But, I think for your needs, Composer will serve you very well.
    I keep Netscape on my system just for the Composer feature. That's about the only time I use Netscape.
    Just be sure to get the latest version for the best features and easiest interface.
    I hope it serves you well.

  • Looking for a good Javascript to let me know if the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is disabled or enabled within Java Preferences?

    If this code could work on Snow Leopard as well, that would be awesome. I have a code to tell if Java is enable or disabled on any web browser, but it does not detect if the Java Preferences "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is enabled or disabled. Just looking for a specific code to tell if this option is disabled or enabled.
    Thank you

    Launch Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app by double-clicking.
    EDIT; But I think you are confusing this with JavaScript which has nothing to do with it.

  • Design Choices in a Web-only Application Using Java Persistence - Question!

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use both container and application managed entity manager factories in the same web-only application?
    It is not working for me....
    I have an application that is using container managed (injected) emf and also an application managed emf. The behavior I see is that updates from the application managed emf are not being persisted to the database but it can query properly. The container managed emf works normally.
    However, there is no error for the application managed emf. Maybe this is because I am using hypersonic in my test environment?

    Duh, forgot to joinTransaction in the app managed emf

  • Web dynpro application using workflow

    Hi all,
    I have developed a web dynpro application and attached that to the portal, so the user will login into the portal and will access the application. We have a new requirement now, when a user enters the data and hit save button on the web dynpro application, the workflow should trigger and should send the filled out (everything filled in) web dynpro application to his superior, the supervisor should be able to click on a link (which he should get through workflow) and should get the web dynpro application filled in. I am not sure how can I do this, so can you please guide me through.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    could I suggest perhaps that you have a good search of SCN - there have been multiple posts about this sort of thing in the past.
    for example : the wiki article
    [Integrating WebDynpro ABAP applications with UWL for workflow in Portal|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/IntegratingWebDynproABAPapplicationswithUWLforworkflowin+Portal]
    is it perhaps that you do not use the UWL at your site? Or do you want to to send an email to the manager with a link directly to the approval application? The last case is one that I've come across many times before - it just means that you'll need to generate an approval task that is ended by a wf event and send an email to the manager with a URL parameter in the launch of the WDA application so that the app can pick up the details required to display and raise the WF event to complete the approval wf task.
    There are all sorts of ways of persisting the information in the form so that the manager can see it in the approval. You can use the workflow container, you can use a db table, you could even use a shared memory area (not that I'd recommend this for this usage). But this is more a case of how to persist information in a workflow and probably a better question (search first, it's probably been answered already) for the WF forum and not the WDA forum.
    Good luck in designing and building your application. Perhaps when you are done you could write a blog about your experience and further share how to do this with others.
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • Best practice in dreamweaver based web design

    Hi DW Gurus
    I have been learning dreamweaver at work and at home for a while now and I am very interested in getting some details about best practices.
    I am aware that my designs are still quite simple and don't expand dreamweaver anyway near its abilities, however as a novice I am sticking with DW CS4 and trying to developing foundation skills before trying to move on to greater adventures in web design.  My dream is to eventually leave my employer and start my own freelance design business that I can manage while I am travelling in SE Asia (yeah I know - dream on .....). I am saving for my CS4 master suite license - my current one belongs to my employer.
    In particular I have just started to do some free design a community organisation - I am trying to develop a portfolio of sites that I can show new clients (with money) what they could expect for their investments.
    I am interested in getting some ideas about work flows - design standards - whether designers use the dreamweaver layouts - whether to code or to use the WYSIWYG.
    Anyone care to share how they plan and go about their design work.
    In my past life I was a SQL developer and a C#.net programmer - in those feilds there are standards for code and applications . Are there industry standards that would point to good or better designing?
    Thanks for your time and interest in my topic,
    Respect,
    Doug

    The first thing you need to learn is html and css, without knowing the programming language will only make DW a hard tool to use.  You need to learn coding to WC3 standards.
    FREE HTML & CSS Tutorials  - http://w3schools.com/
    http://reference.sitepoint.com/css
    http://reference.sitepoint.com/html
    Validation tools that you will need to bookmark.
    HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
    CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    Hopefully you use Firefox, and if you do, the web developer toolbar is essential:
    http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
    Yes, you can rely somewhat on DW's layout mode (or what features are left of it), but this will only lead to problems when it comes time to troubleshoot any problem pages that do not render correctly across the various browsers.
    A paying client will expect a well designed, fully functional website and you need to have the programming skills to accomplish this for them.
    Not sure how far advanced you are but the Adobe site has quite a few CSS based tutorials - and I would strongly urge you to go through the series listed below - to get up to speed on the correct way to lay out a page.

  • New to web design - learn Dreamweaver first?

    Greetings to the Dreamweaver community.
    After 30 years in print design, I've finally made a decision to learn a little something about web design. With that goal in mind, when I updgraded to CS6, I bought the "CS6 Design and Web Premium" package. The package includes Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash Pro. But I'm a little confused where to start.
    I always buy the Adobe "Classroom in a Book" series to learn the basics or new aspects of Adobe products. All three apps have CIB counterparts and I'm thinking that I will but the Dreamweaver CIB first, then Fireworks, and then Flash Pro?
    So what am asking is... is this the right direction? I notice on some discussion boards that some use Fireworks more than Dreamweaver: I just want to make sure I'm on the right path.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Clinton

    Welcome to the DW community, Clinton!
    30 years - that is some real experience you've got up your sleeve!
    Web Design, okay, it works this way. It has 2 parts - for starters:
    Design/ Mockup/ Layout/ Wireframe/ UI (different people refer to this differently) - but the end goal is the same - to create the 'design', per se, that your site is going to look like
    Development/ Slicing/ Compositing/ CSSing/ PSD - CSS (again, different references) - making the 'design' you've made in an application like Photoshop or Fireworks to be 'web-friendly' - in other words, making it .html and .css files that are the 'core' elements for a website
    Most web designers (including me) use Photoshop to create design cuts (PSD files) that we send back and forth a million times to the client to get them approved. Then, 'slice' some key elements such as backgrounds, boxes, etc... Then open Dreamweaver, write the 'markup' - which is 'what' you want to display on your website (content, tables, boxes, widgets, snippets, etc..). Then, 'style' the website using 'CSS' - to match it to the 'PSD' that the client had approved.
    This is it - I don't know if I could've put it any shorter!
    CSS - Cascading Style Sheet - it is a piece of code that instructs web browsers how your website has to be displayed. Height, spacing, margins, width, colors, display-type, etc... With the birth of CSS-3, things are even more easier. A few key things that CSS-3 can do are lets say, Gradients, rounded-edges, etc.. (for which you had to use an actual .png or .jpg image in CSS-2). Now, CSS-3 can give you the exact same effect with no use of an image.
    HTML - Now that HTML5 is quickly replacing older web standards, you've decided to start your 'web journey' at the right time, I'd say. HTML5 has endless possibilites for creating 'responsive' web design - responsive meaning one design, multi-devices - for desktops, tablets & mobile phones.
    With all that said, Dreamweaver CS6 has some great tools for HTML5 standards such as 'Fluid Grid Layout' - with which you create 1 design, code 3 different CSS documents and BAM - your website will be optimized for all 3 devices.
    Fireworks - Definitely usable for web design. Fireworks CS6 also has some great tools such as 'CSS Generator' that gives you the CSS code for a selected design element - in other words, design it in Fireworks, hover over it, Fireworks will generate the CSS code for you.
    jQuery - You should look this up - has some great 'plugins' that you can use in your website design/ development. Now that 'Flash' is kind of dead (modern handhelds don't support Flash), jQuery is your friend. Best part is it is fully open-source.
    The next step - Dynamic websites - As the name suggests, you can get into building more 'interactive' websites - like a shopping cart, etc... later on once you get a proper hang of some basic HTML & CSS. And if you decide to use jQuery, you'll also get a hang of JavaScripting - which is critical to build interactive websites as you progress.
    You can take a look at this video on Youtube. I know it doesn't have too many views. But, I personally feel it is a good place for you begin with Fireworks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJmyYfNu1M
    All this maybe going a little over your head right now - since you're just starting up. But, feel free to post questions as and when you have one and we'll be happy to help you! The world needs more web designers/ developers after all!
    All the best.

  • Web design software for Mac?

    What is the best/easiest web design software for OSX Panther -- freeware/shareware or retail? I have a simple site I update once in a while (currently using an ancient copy of AOLPress on my old G3), so I don't need anything elaborate.
    Thanks very much --
    Christine

    iWeb is probably the best easy-to-use, very simple, good looking and W3 validated code producing  application out there.
    It does allow you to export your data and upload via FTP, yet Apple is definitely trying to sell a few more .Mac memberships.
    NVU is quite good for more complex websites.
    If you're looking for a very efficient way of administrating your website, adding new content and all kinds of features, check out Joomla, a Content Management System . You do however need a server that supports php and MySQL.

Maybe you are looking for
