supragold Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Just doing a new site for work. Nothing exciting. I have contribute and frontpage at the minute but I'm limited to what I can do and wanna get stuck in. Contribute is brilliant to just add text and pictures but ideally i want to start from fresh and make a new one as at the moment I'm just modding one someone else had started but I'm not keen on it. Thanks Edd. Is there a certain version I should go for that you might know about? What is the latest version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 For you sir, yes dreamweaver is probably fine for what you want. Im currently building a website for a client, and my own for the supe in DW. If you need a hand, you know where i am. Do you have any experiance of web design?

Pig Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Sorry, im good at off topics tonight, but were all friends here. Has anyone notice how narrow Mr golds supra look on his avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Dreamweaver 8 is the latest at the moment. But if you cant get that, the slightly older MX2004 version does pretty much the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Just wondered whats the best software to use to build websites? I've heard about dreamweaver but is it the best to use? dreamweaver is fine, easiest way is to sketch out some ideas first then maybe use a template that comes with dreamweaver if possible. have a go with it and as allready mentioned if you get stuck or need help im also available for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 when i was playing about with web design i came across THIS, it gives you a full layout in seconds, then you can export it to dream weaver to Finnish it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovels Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 frames. yuk tables are your friend! Nahhh.. Go for CSS! Tables are good for tabular data, but really bulk the code. Having said that they're a lot easier to get your head around. But if you're starting pretty much from scratch CSS would be a valuable thing to learn. The latest version of Dreamweaver has got pretty good CSS support. Any help needed, drop me an email or PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Dreamweaver is good and easy to use. I've used it on various wensites now and does almost all your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 If your familiar with markup - use Notepad frames. yuk tables are your friend! Frames can be a PITA when it comes to getting ranked on search engines as well as creating barriers with assistive technologies. If your not fussed about search engines or users with assistive devices then its one option. As mentioned, tables should only be used for tabular data, ideally you'd want to use HTML/XHTML markup with CSS to control the layout of the site. Tables bloat code as well as creating barriers for users of assistive devices. Dreamweaver is probably the best WYSIWYG editor, and if your not familiar with HTML/XHTML markup or CSS then its probably the best package to use.
