PC designer for an iWeb site

if I have a designer who does work from a PC, will I be able to access it in iWeb, make changes, update, etc., or do I lose all control?

Welcome to the Support Communities. No, you won't be able to access the site from iWeb as iWeb doesn't have an import capability. An alternative would be to use Weebly to build the site. Weebly is web-based so can be used from a PC or Mac and has a  "collaborative" mode:

  • This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a different Site

    Hello everyone.  I am getting this error when attempting to move minor workflow changes from mirror SharePoint development / production environments and hoping someone can help me.
    "This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted.  To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of a Visio workflow
    drawing."
    So basically I have taken an image of our single SharePoint server, Domain Controller, and a client and restored them to an OFFLINE development environment for the testing of workflow changes prior to production.  I've put quite a bit of time into one
    particularly and would like to export/import rather than re-created from scratch.
    I've successfully created the form template and imported.  This created the necessary list items nicely and the form appears to work as expected.  However, when attempting to import the .VWI file exported from dev SharePoint, I am getting the above
    error.  If I change the .VWI to .zip and remove the "workflow.xoml.wfconfig.xml" file, then re-zip and change the file extension back to .VWI I get a dialog that allows me to import, but I have to choose a new name and much of the related content
    is lost.  I need to be able to overwrite/merge the existing workflow with the import.  Any suggestions?
    One strange thing I ran into was during a test of an export/import from and to the exact same environment. If I simply export to .VWI, then import from .VWI with no changes, SAME everything I still get this error. Very weird. Hoping someone can shed some
    light on the subject. Thank you.

  • How do I change the default bookmark name for my iWeb site?

    I'm not sure where the label is coming from that automatically appears as the bookmarked name for my iWeb site and I want to change it.

    I found my answer in the archived discussion "Bookmarking my site". It worked - thanks!

  • Directory for my iWeb site

    How do I create a directory for my iWeb site?

    You will have to do it manually, a first page using whatever template seems to fit best and then create a link and description of each item you want in the directory. Something like this maybe? It could have links to the pages or not.

  • Can anybody recommend a UK based host for an iWeb site?

    I need to know where to host my iweb site with the least technical difficulty.I have seen on ichat HomeExcellence which sounds ok buy it is US based.

    24/7 tech support is a lot more important than location. I've been using Host Excellence for 7 years now and haven't found any reason to change.
    Their associated service - IXWebhosting - offers really good value for those who only have one site but need the option fo another dedicated IP address. Their tech support has been really helpful to those to whom I have recommended this service as you will see here...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    Most tech support people don't seem to understand how iWeb creates sites and can be rather unhelpful.
    One of the main advantages of the above mentioned services is the fact that they allow you to create a root folder with the same name as your site in iWeb. This goes a long way to helping you understand the concept of the root folder and the file/folder structure on the server.

  • Which web hosting company for my iWeb site?

    Hi everyone. 
    I was going to let my iWeb site just die with MobileMe, but decided to go ahead and get hosting for it to keep it online.  I'm trying find advice on which company to choose. After looking online I saw this one company called Little Oak is a mac web hosting company, and they are offering a 25% discount right now to host websites (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012
    Can anyone vouch for their reputation?  Or can you offer up any other companies that I should consider? 
    Thank you.
    Anne.

    I use Little Oak for my site, and I can genuinely recommended.  They are great.  And in regards to pricing, it is relative.  You can find really budget and cheap hosting, you can even find free hosting.  But you usually get what you pay for.  I would stay away from free hosting if you want decent service.  I really like and value the service I get from LO.  And that 25% coupon looks like a good reason to try them. I've called or IM with them at all hours of the day, and always get great service. 
    Its true that most web hosting companies offer similar prices and packages, what you really want to see if a companies reputation for service, because when things go wrong, you want to be sure you are going to be taken care of. 
    I'm sure whoever you go with, they will be able to help you move your site over.  Here is a help sheet from Apple to get you started: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4686). 

  • Buy & Sell Tools for new iWeb site

    Hello,
    I've had a Hompage website business for sometime, but with iWeb and the fact that somehow my business can now be Googled has made me take a hard look at what I created and how I am going to shape it into a sucessful small business.
    My biggest concern is that I do not have any real buy & sell tools to go with my business. I ran across a mention in this forum about RegNow, but I honestly cannot figure out what they actually do. I want some legitimate enterprise to provide the tools I need so my credit card customers can buy from me. I would also like for my customers to have the ability of tracking their order as well.
    Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Phillip

    You could just set-up a Paypal on your site and that would be easy and effective. Look here to find out how to get a Paypal button on your site:

    If you shipped through UPS or Fed-Ex you could e-mail your customers a tracking number so they can track their order.
    Check out http://iWebTricks.com for other iWeb tips and place your mark on my Guestmap (that I just figured out how to open in a new custom-sized window) while you're there.

  • Using iMovie to create movies for an iWeb site

    Hi, all:
    Relative Mac noob; please be kind. I think I'm going to answer my own question, anyway, but I thought I'd ask... and I'll cross-post in the iWeb section, too.
    I am planning to add some movies to my site. I've done the preliminary layout work, and just need to edit and upload the video.
    Up to now, I have always used, and am comfortable with, iMovie HD 6. I've never used iMovie '08, even though I installed the iLife '08 upgrade two months ago.
    Which version of iMovie - '08 or HD 6 - is better suited to the task of editing digital video that will be added to an iWeb site? One source file is a QuickTime movie I've already got; the rest of the video I'll be shooting in the coming week or so.
    I think that the older version of iMovie is going to suit me better, 1) b/c I already know it and 2) it has more powerful editing capabilities, no?
    Thanks,
    Bill from CT

    Which version of iMovie - '08 or HD 6 - is better suited to the task of editing digital video that will be added to an iWeb site?
    As always, use the editor that has the features needed for the project.

  • Browser address for my iWeb site...

    I would like my browser address to show my official company name i.e. www.mycompany.com instead of what I am seeing which is http://web.me.com/myname/mycompanyname/Home.html. This seems to be making it hard to find my iWeb site on a google search.

    Google doesn't care about your address. It happily indexes your pages as soon as it finds you.
    To use a domain name at MobileMe :
    You publish to MobileMe. With or without a domainname.
    To use your domainname, follow the instructions in your MobileMe account where you setup Personal Domain:
    https://secure.me.com/account/
    Where you'll find a link to [iWeb: Using your own domain name|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1107]
    Or read it in the [MobileMe help|http://help.apple.com/mac/1/help> : Account > Setting up a Personal Domain
    You can have only one domainame with Personal Domain at MobileMe. To use the other one you have to enable URL forwarding where you host your domainname.
    There's also a forum dedicated to this subject : [MobileMe iWeb and Personal Domain|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1163]

  • Creating Two Different Designs for the same site

    I already have a website (www.ernestbuckley) but would like to design an alternate site with the same name and from time to time, just switch between the two for variety. Can this be done? Will I lose any data when I switch back and forth?

    Apnewbie's suggestion is right on track! You already have your domain name ( http://www.ernestbuckley.com ) that you forward to:
    http://web.mac.com/ernestbuckley/iWeb/ernestbuckley/Welcome.html
    If you made another parallel site with the different design and called it "ernest2", all you would have to do is to switch your forwarding to:
    http://web.mac.com/ernestbuckley/iWeb/ernest2/
    You can continue to edit both sites and when you want to switch sites, just change your forwarding again to the other address.
    BTW, if you want to start another site, you might consider using a program called "iWebSites" to help you manage your sites in separate Domain files. That way you keep them completely separate from one another and maintain the ability to edit and publish them independently of one another. Here is the URL for more info...

  • Smart FTP App for posting iWeb sites?

    I currently us Godaddy as my WPP. But as my iWeb website grows bigger with blogs & pics, etc. the "publish to folder" option with iWeb becomes more and more cumbersome. Transmit.app has a nice "sync" function that checks the dates of files, and only updates what needs updating. But each time I make changes in iWeb, and then publish to a folder, all of the files' dates are updated for the whole website, so Transmit.app just sees that the whole website is newer & needs posted, and is unable to determine which files were changed based on date alone.
    I can do the updating manually--only uploading the pages I know that I changed, but again, it becomes very cumbersome, not only because of iWeb's naming schemes, but also because iWeb seems to put some image files in non-intuitive folders/places, and I am having trouble making sure all of the changes get uploaded that are needed.
    Does any one know of an FTP program that can track actual changed files apart from the dates, and update only what has changed?

    Why can't a polished program like Transit.app do this?
    In September 2007, the guys at Transmit said this:
    "Transmit is in the same boat as Fetch. There is currently no workaround for this, as +Transmit 3+ was only designed to consider dates when synchronizing, not size. +Transmit 4+ will be able to compare sizes."

    +"Easy iWeb Publisher"+ significantly cuts down the time it takes to upload changed or updated sites by comparing the files on your computer with those on the web server. Click on the image:
    RBrowser also has Folder Syncronization:
    "RBrowser's sync engine will automatically find your changes and publish your new and changed files only to the remote server."
    ...But perhaps you would have to buy the licensed version to get that feature:
    "Absolutely unrestricted operations in all protocols (Local, FTP/SSL/TLS, SFTP-SSH), including Folder Sync."
    ...you could try the free version first and see if it has that feature.

  • Comments - for an iWeb site not running on a mac

    So is there some place where I can see exactly what the code for the comments are trying to do? I really want to use this functionality on my personal site (which is running on a linux box).
    I've seen the haloscan stuff, but would rather be updating a database I already have running.

    Where can I see the code that iWeb uses for
    this?
    To see how iWeb does comments with .Mac you would need to publish a site to .Mac and do some exploring. I don't know whether what you would find would be relevant to trying to duplicate this functionality with your own linux server or not.

  • Database Design for Multiple function site

    Hi
    I am working on one project which involve multiple function
    site, such as
    Company Product Catelog, Customer Support Forum, Document
    Exchange Engine and
    etc...
    Normally we will combine ALL TABLEs into one DATABASE.
    My question are:
    1) Is my break them to individual DATABASE, will it perform
    better?
    Means Product Catelog and Forum will have different
    DATABASE, but they
    will using the same DOMAIN NAME.
    2) I am worried about the break down and corruption of
    DATABASE, so I have the
    idea to separate them out. Are my idea correct or wrong?
    3) I am seeking for better DATABASE DESIGN, because I know
    the database will
    become huge in future. I request for your idea and opinion.
    Thank you very much.

    Creating views: not an option I think. It would involve a lot of programming with 'instead of' triggers etc.
    Seperate databases: a good way if the locations are completely independant and do not share information. This involves more DBA work.
    Separate schema's in one database: this would make public synonyms impossible, and is probably not a good option.
    Adding a location id to tables: the best way I think, and flexible. You can easily add another location, and locations can easily share information.

  • Iweb site on search engines

    I have been trying my very best to make my website (http://web.mac.com/bjcarreon) available on search engines because I think it's a great site and people can learn from my experiences but I have been only 1/4 successful because when you try to search for me in google, you can only search what's on the welcome page and not the sub pages. how do i make all the pages in my site, searchable?
    is there an easy way to have my iweb made website searchable on line? please help.

    mate - your in the wrong forum. you have the latest iweb version, and this is the one previous to it. in any case, you might want to check out my tutorial for making iweb sites be on google:
    http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb/
    as a way to make your site be more keyword attractive - make sure that none of your text is as images. if you use simply textboxes, the content will be moved into the html code and can then be picked up by google. text in images cannot be picked up by google.
    for those having iweb 06, i have this article:
    http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb-1x
    i have some ads on my site, meaning it might generate revenue if you visit it. this is apple policy. i have to state it in order to be allowed to post this link here.

  • IWeb sites load extremely slow from various computers

    I am sure this must be the case for everyone, but if I click on an iWeb link vs. a homepage link the difference in loading times in amazing. My old homepages load in seconds, iWeb in minutes.
    This is the case if I go to the iWeb page on my mac, my pC at home, a PC at work, whatever.
    Have others noticed this?

    Hi NH Sullivan,
    I too have also noticed less than satisfactory loading times, even for simple iWeb sites. (Again, regardless of platform, browser etc.) It seems to take a particularly long time to load the navigation sections and photo galleries.
    I have not looked into a solution to this, but I have looked at the source code for iWeb generated sites and to me (Although I'm not an expert) there is a lot of unnecessary code.
