Your favourite website designs

As a graphic designer foremost and website designer
increasingly, I am always looking for inspiration from my next
project. Do you have any sites that you have worked on yourself or
that you particularly regard as state of the art that you could
post here. Websites that sum up the essence of good design, slick
navigation with accessibility always considered.
I know there is such a huge diversity of functionality and
content that drives a sites look but please post a couple of your
favorites here.
As far as the future, what do you see next generation of
website styles being, if we say that current styles are:
The shiny button
The round cornered box
The drop shadow background
I know Adobe has a huge influence on this as it's products
develop, Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop etc...but where next.
Rich
PS
I'd like to know what you think of my own humble offering,
complete with round corners and shadows! Our company website:
HERE
Far from state of the art I know but many hours of
fun/frustration to get there and many helpful posts here in it's
development!

Here are a few:
This may not show as actual errors, but your <head>
section has a
LOT of redundant code. Multiple links to identical .js and
.css
files, duplicated JavaScript code, etc...
In your template "BottomRight" region, you have several items
that
belong above the </head> at the top of the page.
However, since they
already do exist there, you can delete them completely.
Specifically
the link to AdelanteStyles.css and that whole block of
JavaScript.
Get rid of the <body> element in that section, too. You
can only
have one body in a Web page.
Since you're using XHTML 1.0 Transitional (do you need to?)
you have
several that should be 
After that, I /think/ the only thing left (outside of Flash
stuff)
might be adding a just before the <form>.
Could be wrong,
though.

I can't find how to put in my favourite websites like I did in internet explorer

on internet explorer there is a drop down menu in which I can add my favourite websites. I can't find where I can do this on firefox.

There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox: 
1. {Ctrl + D} 
2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page. 
3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page 
4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar. 
4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.) 
5. Left-click and drag the website image ''(Favicon)'' in the URL bar (or on the active tab) into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks {Ctrl + B} 
'''or''' to the Bookmarks menu bar item ''(the drop-down will open)'' and then onto the drop-down listing of your bookmarks and folder of bookmarks ''(folders will open)'' 
'''or''' onto the Bookmarks Toolbar - the new bookmark will be saved when you release the left mouse button

What does a website design/seo firm look like?

HI to all,
I am a website designer and partime seo / sem in Australia.
Currently I am working from home and thinking of moving into
an office soon.
I was just wondering if anyone can give me feedback on where
you work from.
Do you work from home?
Do you work from an office?
Advantage / dissadvanges from one or the other.
If business seems to be going well from home should I spend
the extra $ to move into an office and hopefuly improve on the
business image.
Also I have hnever been into website designers or seo office,
what's there? Chairs, Desk & Computers, or is it set up like a
retail store?
Do your customers come to visit you? or do you visit them?
Any comments or feedback is greatly appreciated.

We're going to have to disagree on the definition of
manufacture.
There are more meanings to the word. In its simplest form, it
merely
means to make.
Dictionary.com:
2. the making or producing of anything; generation
5. to work up (material) into form for use
American Heritage Dictionary:
1. a. To make or process (a raw material) into a finished
product,
especially by means of a large-scale industrial operation.
2. To create, produce, or turn out in a mechanical manner
Online Etymology Dictionary:
something made by hand
WordNet:
1. the organized action of making of goods and services for
sale
Kenerman English Multilingual Dictionary:
to make, originally by hand but now usually by machinery and
in large
quantities
My point is that there ARE firms who are absolutely mass
producing
websites. These are the folks who offer the "one from column
A, one
from column B" sites, sometimes Flash and sometimes HTML.
Minimal
labour, minimal customization - and these sites are most
definitely
marketed and priced as commodities.
It all comes down to what the business does and how it is
marketed. Do
you make and sell a product: a website? Or do you sell a
service?
My company sells a service. From all appearances, yours sells
websites.
Not sure how we got on this track from what the office looks
like.

UI Design in photoshop to a development in Dreamweaver or any adobe other software used for this purpose. Please try to help me on this.

Hello Shubham,
let me put in my two cents too :
Some months ago we discussed about this question Muse <<< >>> Dreamweaver here in the forum. Unfortunately I didn't keep this thread, only this one where I answered this way:
There is a YouTube Video, where Janine Warner "outlines the difference between Dreamweaver CC": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHbFLwutUGk. In my eyes the important differences - brought in the Video - are:
... and so I for my part prefer DW CC.
What concerns Muse:
TUTORIALS | Adobe Muse CC >>> In this tutorial you'll learn how to build your first full-featured website in Muse. The tutorial includes the following task-specific steps along with a downloadable source Muse file and demo assets. >>> for example use "Learn more" >>> Build your first website: Katie's Café.

Hi guys,
So, this week we've had some great discussions around gaming and today is the last one
What's your favourite ever moment or memory?
For me, it was completing this level of Crash Bandicoot called 'Crash Crush'. You had to run towards the screen while a boulder chased you, as well as dodging emerging pits! It was almost too much for my 9-year old self to handle
What's you favourite gaming moment or memory? Was it was shock twist? A difficult achievement? A funny design? Sound off below!

Ideas for a Website Design with DW 5

New to webiste and looking for ideas on website design. I have a logo and will have products with pictures and descriptions. Should I use DW pre-design ideas or should I use my own. I'm not sure how to on my own design, but I might be able to get help through friends. All ideas and suggestion on how to get started are appreciated.

If you're new to HTML and CSS in general, I highly recommend learning code basics first. This will make DW CS5 much easier to work with. Start slow. Learn new things in stages. Build 3 or 4 test pages before you tackle a real project.
Start here:
HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
Adobe Developer's Center - Getting Started tutorials
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/?view=gettingstarted
When you're comfortable with the DW interface, it is very helpful to start a new project with a pre-built CSS layout that works in all browsers. You can learn a lot from examining the code, too.
Have a look at PVII's CSS Templates or Page Packs. (NOTE: I have no affiliation with the company; just happen to like their products).

I guess the problem come from me or I really need those contacts before he calls me for it. I'll try some method that I got from some responders on your support website. Do you have or can you recommand any software that can solve this problem?

One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

We are unable to activate your CS5.5 Design Premium

Hello,
I'm unable to activate my CS5.5 product and getting the error as "We are unable to activate your CS5.5 Design Premium" and later it says Please connect to Internet. I tried all the possible steps mentioned in this forum and also followed the steps mentioned under this below document:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
I'm in Home netwok, firewall is disabled, no anti-virus.
Creating a new Admin account is the only option?
System Info: Mac OSX 10.5.8 core 2 duo
My serial key is correct.
Any further suggestions?? Please help!
Thank you.

Hello,
I too had the same issue and tried all the steps mentioned in the above document. But it failed. I contacted my IT guy who informed that there is no firewall enabled in the modem. I'm using a home pc.
Lately, I contacted your support team who performed the same steps again and did not resolve the issue. Finally one guy said do something called selective startup on my Windows 7. I'm uneasy with this. He said that it is a part of their troubleshooting steps and can enable them back. I said okay and did it which did not resolve this issue. At last he said to create a new admin account!!! I was not at all satisfied with this resolution but yes I did and it did work! But I'm greatly confused. What could have been the issue? I don't want to create a new account everytime I face this issue. So any possible reasons other than which are mentioned in the document?
TY!

Website Design Using Adobe Flash

Hi everybody,

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.

What is best software for website design on iMac?

What software can I best use for website design on my iMac?

RapidWeaver or Sandvox is what I recommend for most people - both require little to no knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, or CSS but can be used to create attractive websites with all the modern doodads. DreamWeaver is a powerful program with a very steep learning curve but well worth learning for professionals and power users. Even so, this power user uses RapidWeaver for most tasks today.

You can get more info about [JSF here |http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/] and [ajax4jsf|https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/]

Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
a flash site like
http://www.hockaday.org from an
easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
would be nice.
What I like best about
http://www.hockaday.org is the
great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
ways.
Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
nice things with pictures and motion?
I need to create a site like
http://www.hockaday.org
immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
my best bet?

you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
yet you need to build an entire site
immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
that is similar but if this forum is any
proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
decipher most templates in order to edit them
- search this forum, there are several posts per week from
non-flash users who purchased templates
and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
an educated flash user to
reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
documents are blank canvases that can be setup
a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
developers are more organized than
others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
together for a quick profit.
You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
it works or hire somebody to edit the
template for you.
hope this helps.
