What's best way to build a website on OS Lion

I have a Mac with OS Lion.  I want to build and launch a business website using iWeb.  Is that still possible and a good idea? 
Did the switch to iCloud make iWeb unusable or inappropriate?
What would be a good alternative to website building and web hosting for a intermediate user?
I already have a domain name.
Thanks.
Jim

iWeb can still be used to design web sites here are a couple of examples of sites I have done with iWeb:

iCloud does not support the hosting of web sites. So a 3rd party web host is needed in order to get your web site up and going on the Internet. I personally use IX Web Hosting (for a little over 4 years) one of the nice things about them is you can host multiple sites on 1 hosting account.

  • Best way to build a website with hundreds of pages

    What is the best way to build a website with hundreds of pages that include businesses in every city of the U.S. I will be building it in Dreamweaver CS4 and pulling the data from an MS Excel spreadsheet.
    I started building it by building the first page and then saving a new page with new data and so on.
    There must be a way to pull from the Excel doc without copying and pasting each page of data, and there must be a way to build this site smaller and easier to make changes when needed.
    Thanks

    You already have other people addressing the DB issues - so I will bring up the other... You are just saving a copy as a new page and then copy and pasting the changed content into  it?
    What you want to do is take the first page, once you have your design done - and save it as a template (file - save as - Dreamweaver Template).
    Then you want to select the areas (most likely the divs you have content in) that will have content changed, and select the div or p or whatever element... and go to Insert - Template Objects - Editible Region.
    Make sure you don't made editable the areas that are the primary design - such as a logo element, a header image, the navigation etc.  If you want to change those - you would do so by making the change on the template, and then it will automatically update all pages made based on that template.
    Once you are done setting up the templates - go to your new page and choose Modify - Templates - Apply Template To Page
    Select the template you just created (note it will be placed inside of a new folder titled "templates" automatically by Dreamweaver).
    Now, any of the areas you selected to add different content into will be selectable, and you can copy/paste or however you are doing so.
    Good luck

  • Best way to build own website?  mac specific...

    Hi,
    I want to build a website on my mac - I have seen a couple of websites where I can pay $7 per month and that includes web hosting software, the domain, email, etc. Or I have seen a couple of Mac softwares that seem advanced but they don't seem to come with the website.
    How do I do this?
    I signed up at work for a free site on Microsoft Office Live. It was very user friendly and I had a site up in minutes. Anything similiar for Mac that also has the advanced design and graphic capabilities?
    Also, can anyone recommend a good place to take a one time web design course in Long Beach, CA? Or on a web site?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Danielle,
    A great way to learn about Macs and creating web sites is to attend a Mac User Group meeting. I Googled for a group in your area:
    http://mac.meetup.com/cities/us/ca/long_beach/
    There are probably more groups in your area, just go to the Apple site and do a search. You can meet other Mac users, get discounts on software and learn a lot!
    An option for creating a site my advice would be a .mac account. Here is info on that: http://www.apple.com/dotmac/ Purchase iLife software, approximately $79.00 for either PPC or Intel based, here's info on that: http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/
    iWeb is very cool and easy to use. You can create sites, blogs, and you can do this in minutes!
    Make sure and read the system requirements for iLife 08:

    Hope this gets you going!

  • What is the best way to create a website on a imac g5  (2005)

    After reading a variety of reviews of Life 08 I want to know
    what the best way to create a website. Should I buy ilife 08
    or do something else? There is no iweb on my g5.

    If you are a novice then iweb is a good place to start. It will allow you to create a site quickly with the minimum amount of work. You can then learn more as you go along if you want to. To publish you will need web space somewhere. Thats how I started and now I am studying web design with the Open University and am learning xhtml and CSS, then progressing to Java etc. Good luck and have fun - it is quite addictive once you start.

  • What is the best way to build an app?

    what is the best way to build an app?

    I've never done it, but sure, all sorts of companies will contract to code up an application for you - big companies like Honeywell and General Dynamics to Joe Programmer free-lancing out of his house will contract for computer coding projects.  Without knowing details of the app to be developed I have no idea what it would cost or how long it would take.  Some of the free-lance programmers I personally know bill out at over (some, well over) $100/hour.
    If you really think your idea is great, then be sure to approach discussing it with a developer as a business transaction.  Almost every company will have an unsolicted ideas policy in place (Apple explicitly does under their legal information page) and any unsolicited ideas sent in become the intellectual property of the company (by sending the idea unsolicited, you have legally "given" it to them).
    P.S. as to how long to learn how to program well?  Some people spend an entire college degree's worth of time and effort to master that.

  • Best way to build an web-based voice record player

    Could anyone please guide me on what technology to use to
    build a online voice recorded that would record a users voice using
    a flash player from a website and then the voice is saved on the
    server side. What would be the best way to build something like
    that.
    Thanks,
    Ket

    Use Flash or Flex for the client side, and Flash Media
    Interactive Server on the server side.

  • Best way for building an application main frame

    I'm about to program a desktop application.
    The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
    There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
    My question is which is the best way for building it.
    Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
    I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
    Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
    Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
    P.S.
    The application makes extensive use of RMI.
    What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

    Hi,
    I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
    On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
    I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
    I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
    It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

  • I want to run Quicken through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?

    I want to run Quicken 2012 through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?
    I have been looking at Parallels or VMware in order to use Windows but then I will also need to get a Windows license. Just looking for the most inexpensive way possible as this will probably be the only Windows app I run.
    Also looking at this CrossOver software which says you dont need Windows license. Anyone used this before? had success?

    CrossOver's website has a list of software it has certified as working or working with known issues - Quicken 2012 has a bronze rating meaning it runs but with enough issues that it isn't recommended. In other words, "Run away!"
    Get a copy of Windows 7 OEM from Amazon or New Egg and give it a try with VirtualBox (an open source virtualization program). If VirtualBox doesn't cut it you can always buy VMWare or Parallels.

  • Whats the best way to manage 100s of thumbnails?

    I'm trying to build a simple photo management app in java, like Picasa2. I want to be able to scroll through 100s of thumbnails. Whats the best way to manage them from a memory standpoint?
    a) can I load up 100s of thumbnails into a JScrollPane? If so, will it do anything special to manage memory for the thumbnails that are offscreen?
    b) should I just draw up a grid of JLabels and page through them like you would in html?
    Is there another approach? Is there any special way to manage the thumbnails that are offscreen (besides loading them all in memory ) and still get a fast response time?
    BTW, if anyone wants to join me in this project, I'm happy to opensource and share.

    Because for some of us, it takes a lot longer than 5 mins. Besides, I was on someone else's computer.
    Regardless, I've implemented JList for images, and it works really well. For those of you who are following in my footsteps, the answer is:
    JList renders ImageIcons by default.
    If you want to render a JLabel with an ImageIcon set to an image, you need to write a custom ListCellRenderer, but it turns out that is not too hard. But here is a follow-up problem:
    My app has JLabels that subscribe to an ImageLoader that loads images in the background. On init() the JLabel just has the ImageIcon set to a placeholder image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon = new ImageIcon();
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myPlaceholderImage );
    However, once the actual image is loaded, I call a refresh method to set the ImageIcon to a new image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myLoadedBufferedImage );
    My problem is getting the JList to render the updated JLabel. Right now, I keep a reference to the JList with myJLabel and call revalidate() on refresh, but that doesn't seem very clean.
    Is there an easy/natural place to get the JList to revalidate()?
    Can I easily know which JLabels are in the viewport of the JList scrollpane? That way I could revalidate only the visible JLabels or when scrolling.

  • One headphone does not work or works 50% of the time.  What is best way to resolve?

    one headphone does not work or works 50% of the time.  What is best way to resolve?

    First of all, I'd recomend resetting the iPod. Do this by pressing the 'Menu' and 'Center" buttons for 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears.
    If this doesn't work, then it sounds like a hardware fault.
    To identify the issue, if you have one, try plugging the iPod into a speaker through the dock. If this works, then the issue is with the headphone jack. If not then the logic board is dead.  If the iPod is less than a year old, then it can be repaired by Apple for free. Just book an appointment for the Genius bar.
    If not then, you could see about sending it to an iPod Repair Company, such as my own. A replacement headphone jack would cost £30.00 in the UK, including next day delivery. Other companies you could try would beUKiPodRepairs, but we guarantee to beat any quote that you get.
    Hope that this helps,

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • Wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    I need to wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    From Kappy (note: with this method, you will need to update to the present OS version using the appropriate Combo Update from Apple Downloads.)
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

    Understand that there is one HDMI port on your TV that is specifically designated for PC connectivity. The order that the TV or Mini are powered on may determine your results. For your specific TV model, check buyer reviews on Amazon or elsewhere that can include optimum TV/Computer settings adjustment for improved viewing results.
