How can I transfer a site that was made in iWeb to a new web design service? Please tell me I don't have to build again from scratch!!

I have a site that I update for a large group of educators. It has years of info and pages and it was all created in iWeb. It's a great site and people rely on it! I found out that iWeb is going away and I need to find a way to keep updating this site asap. Help!!
PS: IMO Apple should be making a web design app that supports the continuation of sites built in iWeb AND has the ability to update them with all the design features that they claim iWeb isn't equipped to handle instead of throwing us all out on the street. If this does exist, and I don't know it, please, someone tell me!

You don't need to upgrade to Mt Lion to use iWeb 3. It works fine in Lion and Mt Lion. Read the following for use if iWeb in Lion and Mt Lion.
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

New web designer - too much space over CSS-styled text in Firefox

Hi all:
This is my first post to the forum. I've been a Dreamweaver 8
user for a few weeks and think it's cool, though I have run into
some problems. Here's my latest: I've defined a style for my
headers in my main external CSS with the follow code:
.body_header_1 {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 30px;
font-weight: bolder;
color: #31009C;
font-style: italic;
padding-top: 7px;
padding-right: 7px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-left: 7px;
height: 40px;
I'm using this to insert text at the top of a cell in a
nested table as a header. When displayed in Iexplore, this page is
fine. However, if loaded into Firefox I get an undesirable extra
whitespace over the text. I've tried everything I can think of to
get rid of it but no dice. Is there some parameter I'm setting
wrong? Maybe something to do with the nested table? Thanks in
advance. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

> font-weight: bolder;
Although this seems like it should work, it rarely does.
Normal and bold
are the only ones that are reliable.
Can you show me the HTML where this is used?

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.

Well, that's an interesting question that doesn't have a
simple answer. I
have an article on the same site I just referred you on the
subject of "What
Should I Charge? Finding Your Own Right Answer" -
http://webdevbiz.com/article.cfm?VarArtID=6
- which might help.
The subject doesn't get discussed much here, because some
people feel that
talking about pay is not OK.

I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

I'm not understanding your question. I think you would use any of the current web design formats. Are you talking about what styles to use? If so see the css standards css1, css2, css3 to see what they can provide and which browsers are most compatible. If you are talking about languages use a current standard like html5, php, C#, visual basic , javascript, etc.
Be more specific about what you are asking.

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility. You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply. You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler. If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish. However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
Ask again. I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice. As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities. At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

Hello I am A web design student and I am new to this but I am stuck on my first site so here it is

Create an HTML document named ContactUs.html using the following elements:

So every time I follow these instructions my page is looking nothing like my instructors. What would be the right way to write this?

This just underscores how woefully outdated the syllabus is. My advice is to do some online courses. At least you'll be learning how to build sites to modern standards.

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.

New to dreamweaver, complex web design.

hello, I'm a sports science student with a passion for helping people. I always get asked questions from novice gym users who don't know where or how to start. I'd like to create a website that allows them to find all they need to know In one place with all scientifically studied results and articles about supplements training etc. But also that based on a number of variables will give them a program to follow, free of charge. I downloaded dreamweaver and am at a loss about how to use it, I am very tech savi but not with web design.
I Have thought through a design.
The home/welcome page will be plain and simple with a introductory paragraph with a button saying 'get started' or a button saying 'I've already started' one will take them to a page that has variables such as height, weight, age, body fat, goals and experience, and through this information spit out a program, I know how to use all variables to create a routine (with my formula ofcourse) and obviously the other button will lead to there already created program. The program itself will allow for a befire photo and constant recent photoa to be uploaded, also a table for day to day weigh ins and progress check on weight lifted in the gym. On the far right of the page I want to have a seperate scroll down bar with titles of various articles about different areas of fitness.
I Know this seems like a lot but i have the contacts to get users on to the site but I need good design to keep them there. Is all of this possible on dreamweaver?
THank ink you for any help

When you use a complex web site there are several parts to it
- the HTML which controls the layout and the text
- the pictures (which can only be changed by the web designer, nobody else)
- the JavaScript, which can do certain things but cannot make permanent changes
- the web server, which will run scripts (programs) to do things
It is the web server which will run software to create programs, allow upload of pictures, remember status etc.
This is written by an experienced web programmer, who must be experienced in all the latest security issues. IT MUST NOT BE DONE BY A BEGINNER OR AMATEUR. I say this with pain because it used to be a great way to learn. But no longer, because the bad guys know all the tricks, and if a beginner does it, in no time at all, you will have porn hosted in your web site, it will be secretly sending spam, and all the personal information will be stolen. If you are in the EU, this last is particularly serious as you have an absolute responsibility to protect personal information, and there are unlimited fines.

New To Web Design, How To Get Started?

Just looking for some advice on what I need, I have used Dreamweaver before and have a little bit of web design experience (by little I mean not much at all!)
I was just wondering what other Adobe software I would need along side Dreamweaver to build and maintain a decent site, I basically want to know what other apps work alongside Dreamweaver to make the whole process run smoother and easier
Cheers for any help!

Hello,
Dreamwever is a good start for any web design project, also if you are doing the design side of things, Photoshop and Illustrator would be good additons to the toolbox for you web design projects.
Hope that helps,
Matt

I hear i-web will end next year. Does this mean I shouldn't design new web site using i-web

I have just learnt how to use i-web and I am designing web sites for 4 business. Should I think twice about this? I am concern that I will have to do it all again next year.
Mashable reported today that when i-cloud comes into play next year, i-web will no longer be supported.
Can any one enlighten me further

Unfortunately, Apple isn't a trustworthy Software Developer anymore. There is no continuity in their applications development. Innovation is one great thing - Reliability is also vital for a relationship (Apple <-> Customer) I'm sad to see that they are not as innovative and not as reliable as they used to be.
I guess these great applications like iWeb have been programmed by just one or two developers and since the went on never ending holidays with the profit of their shares - no one is able to continue the work due to chaotic organisation (like in the early days).
I'm really sad to say that, but you rather choose a web design tool from a professional software company like Adobe or one of the other nice applications like RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro....
Sad story, really!

New To Web Design Looking For Tutorials

Hi, I am looking for some help and I am hoping that one of you can help me. I am a total beginner, as in complete beginner. I am looking to do a certified web design course, but can anyone point me in the direction of some DWCS5 tutorials. Beginner ones though, would like to gain some experience at least before I start my course.
Thanks.

The very best advice I can offer a beginner is to put Dreamweaver away. First focus on learning HTML and CSS code. Without a working knowledge of code basics, DW has a steep learning curve. If you understand code fundamentals, DW is easy to figure out.
