Hello there everyone,
I’ave been while in the printing industry for long periods and now I want to buy Web Design. I’m in what programs and equipmentI requires. I currently own an iMac. I got wondering if Web design in done about the Mac. What are the benefits and drawbacks to doing it over a Mac vs PC
Likewise, I understand Vista stands out as the operating system at new PC’s and was wondering if the Web Design programs are compatible or do a number of them need to upgrade to utilize Vista
Thanks,
Mary Jo
Generally the benefits of Mac vs PC is Mac’s are generally better for pattern and images display better with a Mac. Con is Mac’s are higher priced. Your iMac need to be fine, if it’s not too old. What software have
Right now I have only CS2. That’s my next challange – should be to found out what software You want to design sites.
I think that you’re well on your method. The only other thing you need is a plan like Dreamweaver or perhaps Adobe GoLive to really create the web pages. I have Dreamweaver. Consists of an FTP to be able to transfer files to and through the host site. After that you’ll be all set. You possibly can probably use Photoshop to build layouts for your clients approval, along with create any art necessary. Then make use of Adobe ImageReady, that’s included with Photoshop, to slice upward your layout and allow it to become web ready. Then use Dreamweaver in making the actual html code files. Then develop ftp in Dreamweaver to be able to upload files that will host. The only other thing We would suggest is to download all the current popular web browsers to help you check how your site looks on a variety of platforms. On some sort of Mac, I own Safari, Camino, along with Firefox. I would also suggest having access to a PC along with download browsers like Explorer and Firefox to find out how the site looks over a PC. A high percent of viewers are going to have a PC. Good thing is PC’s are comparatively cheap. If money can be real hard to come by, you can always obtain a PC at any garage sale regarding like $20 that will assist the purpose.
Best of luck!
Thanks Flailgring!
