Web Design Services

After searching it out a bit I am finding that many designers
and firms charge more than I would expect for website design. (I am
using USD figures here.)
I see a lot where $1,000 is the typical starting price for a
nice brochure site. Some range near $3,000 to start.
I have only done one site and it was for a friend. Due to
lack of contract $500 was it for a 7 page site with about 8 to 10
flash videos, form mail, and paypal integration. I admit that I
know much more now than I did then, (I now can use CSS for layout
much more comfortably across 4 major browsers and am grasping PHP
much better thanks to PHP Solutions) so I felt $500 at that time
was a little under value for just the design parts, not the
constant indecisiveness of the client/friend.
Anyway, I will soon be much closer to aggressively marketing
what used to just be a hobby and was wondering what others feel
about pricing for web design services. Charge hourly? $45, $50,
$75, $100 per hour? Typical starting prices of $500, $1000, $1500
...? Thanks in advance for your input.

Charge what you feel you are worth, and what your market can
bear, and what
you think is fair in your market environment, and what you
NEED to get to
stay in business. Nobody can be more specific than that.

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.

Vocabulary for web design and beyond

Anyone tackling web design will encounter dozens of unfamiliar terms. I have compiled together this glossary to help them. I may update and expand in the future. Until then, feel free to use or pass along.
Some of these terms don’t relate strictly to web design, but also to computer graphics and computer programming generally, as I’ve found that such terms are also important to reading and understanding any tutorials or other materials on web design.
Asynchronous (1) General use. Not synchronous; not occurring or existing at the same time or having the same period or phase. (2) Digital communication. Pertaining to a transmission technique that does not require a common clock between the communicating devices; timing signals are instead derived from special characters in the data stream.
Bitmap image Image that uses geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes, which are all based on mathematical equations. In a bitmap image, each pixel on a display screen is assigned at least one bit to indicate whether the pixel should reflect the background color, the foreground color, or some other color. each pixel in the bitmap might have 16, 24, or 48 bits of information associated with it. The more bits, the greater the resolution of the bitmap – and the larger the file. Compare Vector image.
C (programming language) General-purpose computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system. It was designed for implementing system software and is also widely used for developing portable application software. C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C++, which began as an extension to C.
C++ Statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose programming language. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C language and originally named C with Classes. It was renamed C++ in 1983.
Cache Component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere. If requested data is contained in the cache (cache hit), this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparatively faster. Otherwise (cache miss), the data has to be recomputed or fetched from its original storage location, which is comparatively slower.
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) Style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL.
ColdFusion Programming language based on standard HTML that is used to write dynamic webpages. It allows for the creation of pages that differ depending on user input, database lookups, time of day, or other criteria. ColdFusion pages consist of standard HTML tags together with CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) tags such as <CFQUERY>, <CFIF> and <CFLOOP>. ColdFusion was introduced by Allaire in 1996, acquired by Macromedia in a merger in April 2001, and acquired by Adobe in December 2005.
Compound selector Can be used to combine two or more style rules to create a style definition that displays only when one style is contained within another. Compound styles are useful when you want to do something like use the Heading 1 tag multiple times to format headlines in different ways on the same web page. For example, you could create one style for headlines that appear in the main story area of a page and then create another style for headlines that appear in the sidebar on the page and still use the Heading 1 tag to format both. Compound styles are created by combining ID, class, or tag styles and look like this: #sidebar h1.
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
CRE Loaded Open source online store management and shopping cart system for e-commerce from Chain Reaction eCommerce. It is based on osCommerce, runs on any LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) web server, and is supported by an active international community of users and developers. For a monthly subscription ($10/mo. as of 2011), CRE Loaded allows small and medium-sized merchants to accept credit card payments in a web site that mirrors their own online stores.
CSS See Cascading Style Sheet.
Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Umbrella term for a collection of technologies used together to create interactive and animated web sites by using a combination of a static markup language (such as HTML), a client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript), a presentation definition language (such as CSS), and the Document Object Model. DHTML allows scripting languages to change variables in a web page's definition language, which in turn affects the look and function of otherwise “static” HTML page content, after the page has been fully loaded and during the viewing process.
ECMA International International membership-based non-profit standards organization for information and communication systems.
ECMAScript Scripting language standardized by Ecma International in the ECMA-262 specification and ISO/IEC 16262. The language is widely used for client-side scripting on the web, in the form of several well-known dialects such as JavaScript, JScript, and ActionScript.
Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) Family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used HTML, the language in which web pages are written. While HTML (prior to HTML5) was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language framework, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because XHTML documents need to be well-formed, they can be parsed using standard XML parsers—unlike HTML, which requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.
Extensible Markup Language Set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards. Its design goals emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for the languages of the world. Known by its acronym XML.
HTML See HyperText Markup Language.
Hypermedia Graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks that intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may be used to describe non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non-interactive cinema presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks.
Hypertext Text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references (hyperlinks) to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or keypress sequence.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Predominant markup language and basic building-block of webpages. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags, enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tags normally come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). Known by its acronym HTML.
Hypertext preprocessor (PHP) Widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. It brings life to websites by communicating with external data sources, such as databases, news feeds, and XML documents. PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. PHP 3 was launched in 1998; PHP 4 was released in 2000; and PHP 5 was released in 2005.
Java Programming language released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application software to web applications.[
JavaScript Implementation of the ECMAScript language standard and is typically used to enable programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment. It can be characterized as a prototype-based object-oriented scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions.
JPEG Commonly used method of Lossy compression for digital photography that was named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the standard. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality.
Linux Family of Unix-like computer operating systems using the Linux kernel (central OS component). Linux can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging from mobile phones, tablet computers and video game consoles, to mainframes and supercomputers. The development of Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed, both commercially and non-commercially, by anyone under licenses such as the GNU General Public License.
Lossy compression Data encoding method which discards (loses) some of the data, in order to achieve its goal, with the result that decompressing the data yields content that is different from the original, though similar enough to be useful in some way. Lossy compression is most commonly used to compress multimedia data (audio, video, still images), especially in applications such as streaming media and internet telephony. By contrast, lossless compression is required for text and data files, such as bank records, text articles, etc.
MySQL Relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. Acronym for “My Structured Query Language.”
Open source Describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials. Before the term open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code.
osCommerce Open source Commerce. It allows store owners to setup, run, and maintain their online stores with minimum effort and with no costs involved. Combines open source solutions to provide a free and open development platform, which includes the PHP web scripting language, the Apache web server, and the MySQL database server. With no restrictions or special requirements, osCommerce can be installed on any PHP3 or PHP4 enabled web server, on any environment that PHP and MySQL supports, which includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and Microsoft Windows environments.
PHP See Hypertext preprocessor.
Rasterization The process of converting a Vector image into a Bitmap image.

Shopping cart software Software used in e-commerce to assist people making purchases online. The software allows online shopping customers to accumulate a list of items for purchase. Upon checkout, the software typically calculates a total for the order, including shipping and handling (i.e. postage and packing) charges and the associated taxes.
Style sheet selector One of the two parts of a CSS rule (the other being the properties, or declaration block) that declares which of the markup elements a style applies to. Selectors may apply to all elements of a specific type, or only those elements that match a certain attribute (e.g., how they are placed relative to each other in the markup code, or on how they are nested within the document object model). There are many types of style sheet selectors: element selectors, which select by element name; class selectors, which select by class name; contextual selectors, which select by context based on parent elements (what the element is nested within or what precedes it in the document), etc..
Supercomputer Computer that is at the frontline of current processing capacity, particularly speed of calculation. Supercomputers are typically one-of-a-kind custom designs produced by companies such as Cray, IBM and Hewlett-Packard, who had purchased many of the 1980s companies to gain their experience. Since October 2010, the Tianhe-1A supercomputer, located in China, has been the fastest in the world.
Tag Non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system. HTML tags include paragraph, heading 1, heading 2, etc.
Unix Computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs. The Unix operating system was first developed in assembly, which is machine-dependent and a low-level programming language. Ken Thompson created the B language in 1969 and Unix was written in the B language, a high-level programming language. The first Unix system written in C was released in November 1973.
Vector image Image made up of numerous individual, scalable objects. These objects are defined by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the highest quality. Objects may consist of lines, curves, and shapes with editable attributes such as color, fill, and outline. Changing the attributes of a vector object does not effect the object itself. Compare Bitmap image.
Vector processor Central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set containing instructions that operate on one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors. This is in contrast to a scalar processor, whose instructions operate on single data items. Also known as array processor.
Web analytics Measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data, including the number of visitors and page views, for understanding and optimizing web usage. It can be used as a tool for measuring website traffic and for business and market research. Web analytics applications can also help companies measure the results of traditional print advertising campaigns. It helps one to estimate how the traffic to the website changed after the launch of a new advertising campaign.
Web design Design of the way that content is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, using a web browser or other web-enabled software.
Web development Refers to the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include Web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. However, among web professionals, "web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.
World Wide Web Consortium Main international standards organization for the World Wide Web. It is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. Known by its acronym W3C.
XHTML See Extensible HyperText Markup Language.
XML See Extensible Markup Language.
Zend Engine Open source scripting engine (a Virtual Machine) commonly known for the important role it plays in the web automation language PHP.

Thanks for posting this!
I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

Problem Installing Adobe CS 5.5 Web Design Premium, Error Code 6

I just purchased Adobe CS 5.5 Web Design Premium. I've attempted installing it about a half dozen times now, maybe more. I am getting variations of "Error Code 6".
I have been through steps 1-3 of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.html but it hasn't helped (the error log is slightly different, but that's about it).
I have attempted to look at the descriptions, but many of the errors in my log summary were not on the list of errors here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/installation-launch-log-errors-creative.html - however of the ones that were, I found this entry:
DF012 Installation source path does not exist: <path>
The installation files are corrupted.
Reextract or copy the contents of the installer.
Which is discouraging and confusing to me, as I have tried installation both from my new, just opened CDs and by downloading the installation files from here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html.
I'm not sure what my next step should be to try.
Here's the log information (I deleted a lot of the space between lines (paragraph marks), if that is somehow important, I can paste it here without conserving space):

Thanks for your help!

_Forge_ there a couple different technical documents relevant to the errors you are currently experiencing.

Where is the CS5.5 to CS6 Web Design Premium upgrade download link?!

I purchased the CS5.5 Web Design Premium equivalent to avail of the free upgrade to CS6 when it came out.
After too much fluffing around with Adobe's customer services (weeks upon weeks), I eventually received the upgrade disk through the post (I'm based in the UK).
The problem I now have is that this disk has become scratched and I can't wait to receive another disk.
After speaking with someone through the online chat, I was told that only those who purchased an online copy could download it. As I purchased directly through Adobe over the phone, I was not entitled to an auto-generated download link.
The upgrade also doesn't appear in my Product pages.
So, can someone please help to find out where I can download a copy of the upgrade, rather than wait for it to come through in the post?

As long as you have the serial numbers for the upgrade version and the base version(CS6 and CS5.5 respectively in your case) the programs will install fine. Download the trial version from www.adobe.com/downloads/ and install the software. During installation you may be asked for the CS5.5 serial number(after you enter your CS6 serial number). The installer file or setup.exe file is the same on the disks and on Adobe.com.
Thanks

Third party web fonts service "integration"

Please make it possible for people who use other web fonts services than TypeKit in a more non annoying, hair puling approach.
I use Fontdeck, Fonts.com and Linotype, not TypeKit. And I have no issue with doing it manually by pasting <link> tag into the <head> of your web pages. Upload to FTP then download the site_global.css and paste font-family CSS rules into my site_global.css stylesheet.
All fine, if it meant only doing it one time, or when change font or style or weight etc. Then natually I accept going through the above steps again.
But every time I make a change to my site the .css its obviously overwritten and its back to Arial. So I end up doing this 8-10 minimum a day.
Please look to the way you have handled it in Dreamweaver. Or make checkbox in site properties telling i use “third party font service” leave the font-family tag ALONE! Or when upload to FTP promt me, asking if I want to change the font-family HTML tag in site_global.css… I know its a nasty solution. But i’m a software engineer. But even this would be better.
Please fix it. TypeKit is okay, but their (your) font catalogue is not that great to be honest.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. We agree that a designer should be able to use any web font from any foundry/vendor/service in their Muse site. With Adobe Muse CC 2014.1 (released earlier today) we are a step closer to achieving that goal.
If any of the services you mention above support a "self-hosting" option, please give Adobe Muse CC 2014.1 a try. This update includes support for self-hosted web fonts; to use a specific font in your Muse site, you will need to install the system font (properly licensed for desktop use) and provide the corresponding web font files (properly licensed for use on a website).
Hope this helps.

Books? AS3 & Web Design...

Im new to everything programming wise, the epitome of a newbie. But I really want to learn. I can work the timeline, make animations etc, but I cant
get tutorials to teach me actionscript because they either expect you to have background knowledge or are using AS2.
I have the latest copy of Flash, and am obviously using AS3.
So from what I understand the way to go is to buy a book (feel free to correct me if im wrong) so can anyone point me in the direction of a book that
accepts the fact that I know nothing about AS to start with.
Also the reason I want to learn flash I to design websites. Is this the best way to learn to create websites? And Is there any subsequent web design packages that go with it that I need to learn?

Well it would make things a little easier if you already had a background in working with Actionscript, but I think reading through a book is a good way to go about it. I typically will spend some time at Barnes & Noble reading through Flash books and taking notes.Here is a book that I think is really good at getting you started in AS3: 'Learning Actionscript 3.0,' http://www.learningactionscript3.com.
Another thing I think that helps a lot is watching video tutorials, so you can the actual steps that are being made. I think Lynda.com is a great place to get good video tutorials, but it's a paid service; I'm not sure if they have a trial but it would be worth a look.
Well good luck with your adventure.

Can the MIni handle graphic/web design?

I was wondering if the Mac mini was enough to use as a computer for web design. I mainly plan to use Adobe software (Dreamweaver, photoshop, etc.). What configurations should I get if it is giid enough to use? I was thinking about just getting the base model then adding 2g ram and a large external hard drive. Would that work?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I run Photoshop and Dreamweaver on systems far older and slower than a Mac mini (also on a G4 mini) and they run perfectly well, so there is no reason to believe an Intel mini would not run such software admirably well.
It is worth adding however that for versions of software written for PPC systems (G3, G4 and G5 based Macs) it would be wise to ensure that you have more, rather than less, memory in the system since while the software will run, it requires an on-the-fly translator to do so. This translator, Rosetta, is built-in to MacOS so there is nothing to add to enable it's use, but it is a bit of a memory hog in itself and in a Mac mini, maxing out the RAM to 2Gb allows it to run reasonably well. Added to Photoshop's need for lots of memory and hard drive space to run efficiently, and a base model mini with 2Gb RAM and a fast external drive should be able to handle the task well.
It's easy to mistake the mini's size as an indication of it's power, performance and capabilities, but it is a remarkably powerful system. In terms of processing alone, the base model is not far off the performance levels of the fully professional Macs of very recent years - many of which are still in active service doing extensive work in publishing, design, image and video editing and production, web authoring and much more.

Single Page Web Design

Hi,
Would like to create a "Single Page Web Design" website.
My problem ist, how to create the diffrent parts of this website. What means the menus are "scrolling" from top to bottom of this single page (e.g. 1. Home page - then 2. Services, etc.) instead each time a new page is opening.
Thanks,
Donald

Hello,
You can use the "Anchors" option in Muse to create such website. Please refer to the video : http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/muse-create-anchor-links/
You would need to create a single page website and use a Manual menu option as shown in the screenshot :
Regards,
Sachin

Seems odd. I use iWeb08 and Host Gator unix hosting. So far it has been totally transparent to me and I've had to do no editing of the html source. And I do use html snippets, though perhaps not in the way you do.

Web Hosting Service - Unix vs Windows?

I use iWeb '08 to design and maintain two different sites using different web hosting services. One is a Windows hosting plan through DiscountASP. With the Windows service, I have found that my iWeb files work without modification and the pages load pretty fast. The other is a Unix hosting plan through Aplus.net. For the Unix service, I have to modify each file -using a separate html editor- if it contains an external reference (HTML snippet). The general page loading speed is not good - very slow (comparable graphics between the two sites). Is Windows hosting friendlier to the iWeb setup or do I just need to shop for a better Unix hosting plan? Thanks.

RF confuses me as a web designer

It is meant to visually layout web pages for multiple devices using css and html, but you can't output the layouts into html or css and the code it does create can only be viewed correctly in chrome which most of the people that come to the websites I develop are using IE or Firefox, some use chrome but not as many as IE or FF.
I like the visual layout aspect of creating the css and doing the media queries but I can't wrap my head around the usefulness of this tool for me if I can't actually export or have the code it creates actually work in browsers outside of chrome.
I do understand the logic behind this software and who you are targeting this for. It would make things a lot easier if instead of wrapping into a proprietary format the output is just straight html and css assetts. That would solve the issue between those designers and developers that would take the files and import them into other software adobes or 3rd parties and make it easy to actually work with the end result.
I have been using MUSE as it is simple to work with the output but it creates 3 seperate versions of the site where RF just uses media queiries and you have one site and no duplication or little of assetts.
Though like I said, RF really confuses me because it looks nice and you can do neat things with it EXCEPT actually use the designs you create as they don't work in anything outside of chrome.
I am waiting on the full version non preview release because I would use this all the time if I can actually have my designs work on the full web, as of now it is nice eye candy but I don't personally see any real use for this other than maybe a PR build up for the Creative Cloud.
If there is an actual way to use this software let me know because it really confuses me right now. I can't export my designs and I can't put them on the web because they don't work except in chrome. I don't see a use for this software for any practical web design use. Teach me how to do this if it is possible, please.
Thank you.

I've just been looking at RF as learning more about responsive design is something I've had on my to do list for a while.
As far as I can tell, with RF, once you preview the project in Chrome, it generates HTML and CSS files in the projects Assets folder.
So I assume the workflow is:
1. Do a mockup of your layout in RF, creating the rough layouts for the difference sizes / devices.
2. Preview in Chrome.
3. When you're happy with it, pick up the HTML and CSS that gets generated as the bare bones layout in Dreamweaver and go from there.
I've pretty much just used DW for years, and have sometimes thought it a little confusing over the last few years with Adobe releasing quite a lot of lower key programs and services, not helped with them changing names along the way.
But I get the impression its all starting to come together now with the Edge stuff, and that really they are optional tools to support DW, that help out with a very specific task. In the case of RF, just getting the initial responsive layout sketched out.
