  Old  Making Design In Fireworks Into An Actual Webpage

Hey Guys

I've made my design for my first webpage in fireworks but I would have absolutely no clue on how to use dreamweaver/notepad to put it all together with html.

I tried dreamweaver but couldnt place/align the images at all, although with layers I could but Im guessing thats the messy and improper way to do it? I know very basic .html and thats about it. Any help with making my design into an actual coded webpage would be appreciated.

Hope this makes sense

Cheers!

Start with these sites: SlicingGuide; W3Schools.

Then if you still don't understand, hire a coder.

Here are a few tips - don't use tables (tags including <table>, <td>, and <tr>) for laying out your pages, instead used divs (<div>), and Don't use font tags (<font>) for anything.

Basically, how a web page works is there are two parts: the HTML, where the content resides, and the CSS, which styles all the content (HTML and CSS are two scripting languages).

A basic web page consists of a few tags,

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title> Title that appears at the very top of the window </title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
A tag opens with the tag name between two brackets (<...>), and closes with the tag again, but this time with a slash in front of the tag (</...>). Create a page in notepad and save it as *.html.

Hope that gave you some idea of how an HTML page looks/works. Here are a few more resources:

www.w3schools.com - HTML/CSS syntax and step-by-step guide
www.openwebdesign.org and www.oswd.org - Take designs apart and modify them to see how the changes affect the page for a great learning experience
www.intensivstation.ch/en/templates - Very simple HTML/CSS templates to mess with and learn from

If you have any questions, feel free to reach me through AIM (borbor180), MSN (b.cherny@gmail.com), YIM (b.cherny@yahoo.com), or email (b.cherny@gmail.com).

Cheers man
