Re: Web page help
I subscribe to the old-school of webdesign. If you can't create a page with a text editor, you aren't ready to do it commercially. Programs like Dreamweaver and its ilk can be useful.

Re: Web page help
I agree up to a point with most of the posts in this thread. It is true that web design can be a headache. In fact, it can be an outright migraine.

But it is important to remember which job he's going for and what they will be looking at. They won't be… -
Re: Web page help
Here's a small hint. One of the basics of most web pages is defining a content area that remains in the middle of the browser window regardless of width. You don't need to take this approach, but it is very common. For instance, the polycount website uses this design. The proper way to achieve this using CSS styles and DIV… -
