GENERAL WORK PAGE

Below is going to be a list of the current websites that I have designed, the sites i've done are on the general work page section, this doesn't not however mean that my newest designs are my best designs.

How do I design sites ?

Well there have been a number of methods that I use, firstly I started off the same way that nearly all designers start, with Adobe Photoshop :). I used this simply learn the background of designing a site, and the HTML code that produced it.
I soon realized how much unnecessary code it used and produced, so I learnt how to hard code pages with Notepad. Now I use a combination of pure code, and Dreamweaver, which produces professional results. My designs now follow a regular pattern ....

  • Firstly I open my standard 800x600 template in to Photoshop, (download here) and create the entire design in Photoshop. I always design for 800x600 to cater for this resolution. However, nearly all my sites re-size to any resolution, which can be a really big advantage and looks good. (See my portfolio for example).
  • Next I slice the image up into frames and tables and import for final adjustments in Dreamweaver.
  • Once the overall layout gives what I am after, I can then apply style sheets (CSS) to the main content page, which sets fonts and hyperlink colours, table colours scrolls bars etc.
  • Finally after getting the look just right, I open the site in Netscape Navigator, and perform several Netscape fixes that usually occur with browser compatabilities between IE and Netscape. It is now when I have to rearrange everything so it conforms to Netscape standards as well as I.E.

I have just launched this section of my site. Keep checking in here for more updates...
