Definitely everyone newbie these. I got the design down pretty effectively in photoshop, and now i’m learning dreamweaver. Im in college and I would like to start a smaller t-shirt design compnay. I have a lot of designs that I’d like to put over the internet and have people be capable of pay for them on the webpage.
So is adding your shopping cart… paypal… credit cards, is that the advanced feature that your beginner like me probably won’t be able to do
Hey guys we have photoshop CS2 as well as Dreamweaver. So as Concerning researched, using dreamweaver, do I really even want to know html and most of that
Can one just design as well as through photoshop. then drop the idea into DW as a possible HTML file and in most cases I’m halfway there
I’m wanting to design a tiny t-shirt company within college. And would like a site wherever people can check out the designs along with purchase them.
I’m not worried within the site design intended for I’m fairly great in photoshop.
Don’t make it happen. Believe me. Learn HTML and CSS alone. Don’t slice in place photoshop files like this, either. Thats only how its possibly not done. Stick to hand-coding with the start and you can be grateful.
I point people today at HTML Dog to begin with learning HTML and also CSS.
You can actually need to apply (and learn some) PHP as well as MySQL.
Employing PHP to dynamically screen your pages, your own t-shirts, and handle the
online shopping cart it’s likely you have.
Will be the t-shirt designs " fixed", or maybe do people bring text to them
You might want to do the positioning design yourself along with hire a freelance
programmer to perform your PHP/MySQL scripting as well as dynamic page products.
The designs for any shirts are preset, and yes I would like to add the shopping cart.
I’m in school so I cant throw a bundle out on programmers to achieve this for me, and I’d like to learn at any rate so. Whats the principle problem with using just photoshop along with DW I’ve previously made some styles on photoshop that we like… So
I’m a beginner whatsoever this and realyl dont recognize much about putting a web site up. I hav no clue what PHP is. I sorta grasp the idea of HTML, but why would I want to write away all teh code for a website when an application like DW can just undertake it for me
To create don’t want to let a appliance create something that is human-logical. Would a person let a robotic cook you some sort of meal
Because What-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) writers like Dreamweaver turn out massive amounts with useless code, such as empty table tissue and useless style tags.
To create lose control over the site itself, you merely control the style.
To create will inevitably encounter browser inconsistencies as well as little problems that are only fixable with HTML-level.
Because using HTML suggests you learn CSS, and CSS is necessary for semantic WEB CODING. (google " semantic HTML" )
Because in the event you will eventually work with Javascript – many modern website carry out, especially with that growth of AJAX – you should give IDs to your elements and create the code around HTML.
Because people should see your HTML CODE if something goes wrong with your site, and if it’s DW-generated it will be quite messy.
Because dreamweaver promotes the employment of tables for system.
Because photoshop sliced photographs are big. Tile smaller sized images and apply CSS instead.
Because those sorts of websites are ordinarily not accessible.
Because photoshop slicing purposes tables, and tables shouldn’t be used for system. And also since the images in slicing find yourself mixed in along with HTML, again, semantic value.
I could go on, essentially…
And don’t fret. People at THIRTEEN learn HTML/CSS/JS. Truly, get down along with dirty, and know the stuff. You shouldn’t be lazy and permit a machine perform your job.
A shopping wagon requires server-side scripting (programming) to create it work.
That’s where PHP comes in. You can intall a no cost shopping cart script like
CubeCart (which involves PHP and MySQL). So, there’s a slight learning
curve available for you.
Which has a shopping cart script, you undoubtedly don’t need any other pages on your
website, as everything is displayed in the script, add goods to shopping basket,
checkout, PayPal, for example…
But you can use other pages intended for larger photo examples and explanations
of one’s t-shirts. With the skills, you could do by far the most neat custom work for
that " look" connected with CubeCart.
In the event you pick a hosting company like www. cleverdot. com, you should use " Fantastico".
What a control panel characteristic that installs CubeCart with OSCommerce shopping
cart directly into your site with a click of a button. You would only need to
customise the skins along with layout, then upload all of your t-shirt images as well as prices.
I truly recommend that you’ve got someone install a new PHP/MySQL shopping cart
script available for you (pay someone or have a highly trained scripter do it)… then,
complete your artistic material to customize the skins.
Be sure to have great digital photos of the t-shirts too.
Definitely great info! Im over a college campus so I’m sure I could find someone expereienced enough that will me out to get pretty cheap. Im gunna be looking at all of those tutorials.
I don’t believe anyone is saying to discontinue PS. You can use your layout as a guide. I started out using Dreamweaver, in addition to believe me, once you learn some requisites, it’s much easier simply to stay in program code view and write it all yourself.
I am a litte lost, I dont must use photoshop for that overall design/layout and graphics of a site Like this particular forum’s website. To the left hand side the graphic with the planet earth. Just how was that performed and coded within
You can use PS to mock up as well as and to format your images. You should use it to help make nav buttons along with other graphics. What individuals are saying is never take your PS archive as is, piece it up, in addition to put it with Dreamweaver. You have to figure out how to take your style and design and translate this into HTML and CSS.
The garden area image at the top part left is some sort of background image. You can look at the CSS for that page. The web construtor toolbar for Firefox
