Web Page Editing

It might seem obvious that to create pages on your website you simply use Microsoft FrontPage or Expressions, Macromedia DreamWeaver, Adobe PageMill or similar software. They are visual and easy, right? But think again. I can assure you that Ebay and Amazon do not create their pages this way, they write their own programs that generate the HTML on the page. Smart websites have pages that weave program code of multiple languages into the HTML on the page, page editors cannot usually handle this. There are so many things to consider and so many tools you can use when it comes to creating your pages. Each type of page has its own challenges. You can adopt one of the above approaches and go through a long learning curve. But why not just learn to use HTML and PHP and do it yourself?

Here are other topics I will deal with:

Cross Browser

Increasingly there are more and more browsers in use on the internet, Microsoft Internet Explorer's popularity is being eroded from all sides and it is not updated as often as competitors. This is an insidious problem because people that have problems with your site will usually just leave, you will never know about it. I will show you what to watch for and what computers and browsers you need to have at your disposal for testing.

Graphic Software

Computers have spawned a renaissance in color, graphics, animation and video, few universities today do not teach it. Any website that has ugly pictures or graphics will be an impediment to your reputation and success. I will show you what products and techniques to learn and use. Becoming skilled in computer graphics, video and animation will be one of the best skills you will ever learn if you are interested in the image you present to the world.

Your Logo

Your dreamsite really needs a good logo. Good logos are simple, compelling, and convey emotions and information that can tell people what you do, why you do it and how you do it. You will be surprised at now easy it is to create one and how important a logo is to the success of your venture.

Only custom-written web components can go down any road you choose!
