Who on here is good with macs and creating web pages??? I have a couple of web pages that I have made with ilife??? or whatever that program is from mac (drag & drop)... I have Dreamweaver 8 and would love to be able to make more dynamic and sweet web pages with more interactive stuff... except for the fact that I can turn on the mac and not much more... where the heck do I start... I am NOT a head knowledge site guy who can read books and books etc, I learn best by doing it... any hints or tips... or help would be great...
This is a good place to start man: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp I learned a great deal of HTML there and that was more than enough so I could stop using applications and start using code.
but I thought the point of Dreamweaver on macs was that you didnt need to know a whole lot of HTML.... maybe enough to bypass any issues but not to make a site???? thanks for the link though.. will look it over.. have been reading up on Lynda.com
If you just looking to use Dreamweaver in "design" view solely, then I would look into the Dreamweaver manual/online tutorials. I find that it is really difficult to use the "design" interface. That w3schools link helped me learn in the "do-it-yourself" fashion. I don't like reading books either.
I have an older Mac at home that I'm getting tired of and use Dreamweaver on a PC at work to make web pages. I don't use design view at all, though. I'm not sure why I even bother to use Creamweaver, that's just what they gave me when I started. What do you mean "dynamic"? Usually that means your site is displaying data from a database that is constantly changing. Sounds like you want to start learning about Javascript or Flash.
I think by dynamic he means "Not webpages from 1996." Basic HTML will net you pages that look like Geocities. Flash and Javascripting will give you flashy buttons and motion. I think that is what he means. I am pretty good with Flash btw I got daily 2nd place on Newgrounds once. Not that that really means jack squat these days.
The only difference between indesign/photoshop/illustrator/dreamweaver on a mac is that I don't have one of them thar fancy right clickymajiggers built into my macbook They're the same on all platforms.
yeah thats what I mean... my current page www.nathanwalkington.com kinda what I am looking for... www.richngrace.com or www.united180.com this is kinda what I mean by something more appealing.. probably not the best example... I know there is way better out there, but compared to my current page I want more flashy and fun... more add ons etc...
yeah... but more appealing and fun.. I would love to grow it eventually with different links and sections etc... kinda like how the special ops page has a bunch of things happening.... I like that but is probably more then I will need for a long time... people say yeah its easy.. but you guys who say that work with computers etc... like me saying hey custom build an exhaust its easy.... ha haha when its what y ou do all day its different...
ahh the legacy of Eric Jordan design, there sure are a lot of sites that look like that now i'm sure there have got to be templates.
