the actual "design" of websites?

I am a pretty familiar with html and css. Also im getting really confident in this php/MySQL skills also. My only challenge is design. I browse this site alot and see some very amazing designs. Mine compared to theirs is novice. What tutorials may also help me learn about web site design. Please dont just simply point me into a photoshop tuts. I want something that basically teaches the " net side" of design and style. Are a person talking appearance or functionality and system Well i’ll do the functionality and i realize like basic layout(where choices should go in addition to stuff). It’s just creating those amazing graphics and identifying cool original suggestions. Gotcha. I think a good deal has to do with knowing the program you will be working with and the right way to really use the idea. I use Fireworks but the majority use Photoshop. They do many of the same things since they’re just related and suitable, but PS is often a notch above. Color combination is often a big key. I’ve seen people aim to put purple in addition to green together and also brown and red and yes it just kills the whole … Continue reading

Cool Browser Compatibility Resource

A lot of you probably be informed on browsershots. org which I find to become a useful tool… but it is definitely limited in that you can only check a page at any given time. Well today I found this url which means that you can run the major browsers (IE 6/7/8, Apple company company Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera) on line without having to put in them on the body. I’ve tested the idea and found the effects to be correct. This is pretty cool for people who want to check various browsers but don’t want to have a zillion browsers on the system. Regardless, just thought I’d personally share. Hot. If only it worked on non-Windows: -/.

I’ve been making use of GIF files because these are non colored documents graphic line images (with text notations). Your originals are vector centered Illustrator files. I’ve tried doubling the size and displaying these individuals at half the size and style in the HTML hoping that may fool the printer’s, but that did not worked. Then I tested out bringing the Vector Painting into Photoshop with a higher resolution and displaying the larger resolution file within the HTML, but this didn’t work sometimes. The browsers aren’t taking it – that they still print all of them as low res information. Will it be the file file format Would a JPG or perhaps PNG work superior I could truthfully use a PDF FILE download, but your website owner wants a web site page with the print button. Can a Printing CSS file admittance a vector based file emerge a hidden div Every thoughts, or experience keeping this Bless you. typically impress friendly resolution intended … Continue reading

What exactly really does this mean are usually relevance of it Im looking to build my own website but dont get much experience in the field. aspects are headings. What they mean is just what exactly they sound just like… they are meant to be the " heading" (or title, subtitle, etc. ) to get a section of content on your own page. Imagine them as though you had been writing a document. You would start using a main heading for each primary section in the document, then subheadings to help title the content therein. A website works the same way, but typically you’ll work with a different page for every main section associated with content. The importance when it comes to SEO is that search engines give many weight to headings while searching for keywords on your own page, because the < h#> elements naturally jump out from the rest of the content. So putting your own keyphrases in all of them is advisable – although … Continue reading

USING 3RD PARTY VIDEO HOSTING

howdy. We have an idea to get a video sharing site that we feel could do the job. I don; t want to pay out major bucks about the strength of " Could" (yet) therefore I want an alternative. My site is soley regarding user uploaded movie, ie there will be no video from any other source only consumer uploaded, camera, telephone etc from this country Ireland. from research, I believe that the cheapest way initially will be to use a Third party video host (youtube esqe) however my problem is I don’t need uploaded videos for getting lost or be mixed around the normal, ulpoaded videos which might be usually on internet websites, in other words can we really maybe have or seek advise from my own own section on almost any video host Like that people can log into this particular section and you will see nothing else there except the user uploaded videos.
