Heya anyone.
Believed I’d introduce me personally. I work in Derby and get been asked that will re-design the firm’s website. I happen to be a graphic style artist for 3 years previously so am organization setting up the look in Photoshop, lowering it in Imageready in addition to transferring it that will dreamweaver for completing. I’d say i’m confident using photoshop and, a very little less so, Imageready nevertheless am a comparable newcomer to Dreamweaver. I got hoping some of you may post some excellent do’s and don’ts whenever importing and add the text within dreamweaver… and anything i might have missed that is required to do around Imageready
I’ll post some sort of mock up on the site as i’ve got presently as soon as i’ll
Thanks everyone. I count on chatting to you all from now on on this forum

I dont think you’ll find really many dos or donts in truth just make positive your images are actually SEO’d and the particular page isn’t to slow to place. There is simply no right or erroneous way with dreamweaver as you can find only really one way in which you can increase text. Just retain it simple.
The main do’s and don’ts will be within photoshop if you find yourself actually working within the design. Adding the text (providing you then have a script to work from) could be the easy part. Inless you don’t have a script. If you can’t it can possibly be the hardest element: -D
Most likely know already nonetheless:
– Start using a sans-serif font inside your site (Verdana, Tahoma)
– Dreamweaver can sometimes mess up a person’s code, (especially when nesting kitchen tables and moving etc) if you use the design perspective. Make sure you check that code is optimized and how we want it
Best of luck with your internet site,

Why not build in fireworks and slice in Dreamweaver Both work together perfectly – it’s easy to do once you’ve gone over the tutorial with macromedia.
Remember to use stylesheets – additional professional than difficult coding fonts and also all that.
Thanks guys, i’ll check into Fireworks, if only to further my horizons. Consider the good see how it goes. And thank you for reminding me personally about stylesheets Got almost forgotten.
Laters just about all. I’m working on the intranet site initial, so i’ll attempt to post something whenever i’ve got a layout etc real.
Thanks

I’d stay with Photoshop, much more professional. I started running into lots of problems with Fireworks. I still apply it once in a short time for creating rollovers and dropdown menus.
If you have money to invest in software may I might suggest Topstyle Pro intended for creating, editing as well as managing css. It intergrates adequately with Dreamweaver also. You can download a free of charge trail at www. bradsoft. com
I’m sure Fireworks is alot easier and is particularly more user-friendly as compared with Photoshop. But of course, that is simply just my personal viewpoint.
True, Photoshop is tougher to use. I guess I simply learned how to make use of Photoshop first and sometimes it usually is frustrating to break up old habits when learning to use a different system.
I did spend allot of your respective learning Fireworks, Photoshop won the battle personally. What ever works right for you, is what you need to probably be utilizing. But if your looking to get hired, Photoshop has significantly better market penetration than Fireworks. Most of the clients prefer that i use Photoshop.
