HTML - New To Site Design, Need Help With Columns

Hi,

I recently got myself my new laptop. I got a MacBook. And Mac's are great for web site design.

I have very little design experience, just playing around with DreamWeaver. I am 13 and want to pursue a career in Web site design.

What do I need?
Where do I go?
What should I learn?

I am not too keen on coding a page, I would like to do it visually. Is this right?

Thank you, all help is much appreciated.

Nick.

hey guys - I was trying to add a little more kick to my website today and making the text appear in little windows I guess you would say - (I know the site is not complete and links are intentionally broken) if you look on the right of the page you will notice I added 2 table cells to round off the white - now the problem I can not figure out how to bring the white area over to the rounded edges whether I need to make the cell wider or if I need to add another cell - any help is appreciated.

Hi, basically i want to open an online clothing store via bigcartel. If i buy a site they said i can add my own html to change the layout etc. I don't know if it would be best to hire someone, or if i would be able to do it myself. I don't know anything about html etc, are there any websites that i can design a website on and get the code?

I want something simple, similar to this http://olivemanna.com/

Thank you!

Ok I need to take things like this forum:

http://lmiinc.com/forum/

http://lmiinc.com/forum/calendar.php

And make it active on the new site I'm building for LMI.

So what files exactly do I need to copy to the new directory & then reference as a link in my navigation bar in all of my .html files?

I am wondering if it is possible to create an INDEX.HTML to redirect to another website?

I would like it to display the redirected site, but if possible keep to the original address..

e.g.
A site named www.mysite.com, with an INDEX.HTML to redirect to www.othersite.com, which displays OTHERSITE with www.mysite.com in the address bar.

Hope I explained ok, any responce would be much appricated!
Thanks!

I know HTML pretty good and I can get by w/ CSS - but what else should I know for web design?

Hi there

Sorry, i don't know if this is the correct section of the forum to put this in.

What I really want to know is, how do you get webpages to look like this:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lov...ign-mpt=uo%3D2

Can this be done using HTML and CSS alone?

I'm only referring to the design part of it, not what the page is able to do. Like play songs for example.

Thanks

How do I begin coding a web design PSD? Any decent tutorials?

I know that one could use Adobe Fireworks and slice up the images, but I don't have Fireworks.

Hello,

I've been working on the design for this website - http://www.keison.co.uk/test/ .

The side menus are in javascript, which I realise is not a generally good thing, as this website's search engine rankings are important.

However, my way to combat this is to use the text links at the bottom of the page (specifically the Product Index) to list the other pages on the website, so that technically every single page can be indexed via standard text links.

My question is by doing the above, will this have any adverse effect on search engine rankings?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

My latest design is 2 columns one for navigation the second for content.

My problem is with positioning.

I want to be able to add an image at the bottom of the navigation column which will always be at teh bootom no matter how big the content area grows.

The idea is my navigation will be at the top and the image or possibly images will be at the bottom.

Is there an easy way around this with CSS? i could use tables and have it align to bottom but i don't want to use tables if possible.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as the design is almost finished and i hope to make a start on coding this afternoon.

I will post the example code soon for you guys to see how i've put it together and hopefully will just be able to change one line or somthing for me.

Hey all..

I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out what to do with my header area:

Any suggestions? If certainly needs something more then there is now, there's to much empty space. Any thoughts would be certainly welcome. I seem to be a little stymied with this one..

Thanks

Its Look:
Your site looks fresh and modern, while maintaining the same brand image you're offline. Choose the same colors for your website if you use in other marketing materials, and the same logo. The site must be visually appealing, with many interesting features, but not too finicky or distracting. The layout should be easy to understand, let visitors to the site easy to navigate to the pages they want.
Put Your Customers First
Thinking about search engines and how your page rank in Google is great, but there is no point if your visitors will simply click away from your site within a few seconds of landing. Your goal is to convert visitors into customers, so make sure your site is customer friendly. Keep popular items and contact information easy to find and keep multiple menus where visitors click a few links to find the information they need to bury your site structure.
Do not Be spammy
This follows from the above point, that your site must be designed primarily for visitors with SEO as a secondary consideration. Not stuff your pages full of keywords so that the content does not make sense. You also need to clearly send the wrong tactics such as adding a list of keywords to the bottom of your pages, and cluttering the site with too much advertising.
Make it quick
Online visitors want information fast, and they have no patience to wait while a large image or fancy graphics load. Make sure your pages load quickly, with key information charging first. If you have large files or videos, put them in a position where the reader can still browse the rest of the page, while the larger elements to load. If you have a Flash site to think about offering an alternative simple html link for visitors with slow Internet connection.
Do your homework
Think long and hard about your audience before you search
Use Neat and Easy Navigation
You make sure your site is browser compatible
Minimize the use of images
Use of white space
Check for broken links
Design for all Screen Resolution
Typography
Colors use good
Layout make perfect
Fast Loading web site designs.
Clear Navigation.
Browser Compatibility.

Hi:

Currently, I'm making my web pages 'by hand'. That is, I use an editor, and laboriously crank out and test my pages on IE, safari, FireFox and Opera.

But this is agonizingly slowwwwww !

What tools do *professional* webbers use to build sites ??

What would you folks here suggest as a useful tool for web-building that would speed up my building, but result in clean editable pages ?

(btw, I'm an expert database man, but quit a neophyte in web design.)

My 'forte' is building Windows business applications (Inventory, Accounting, etc, etc) using xBase database software (i.e., the xHarbour language).

I can hardly wait until I can get 'behind-the-scenes' and do database work to back up my (pathetic) designs.

Thanks for any hints.
