[quote][i]Originally posted by mestonian[/i] Its fair enough to say a website can be built in notepad. This is correct, it can be built in any text editor. The problem is, using a text editor to build a website is possibly the oldest form of web design around. Dreamweaver is not a way out, dreamweaver is simply a modern piece of kit to develop extensive websites which look great. Take a look at a website im currently developing - http://www.tunnelmedia.com/speedfreex/new - as you can see, without being big headed this is an amazing looking website, with great graphic design & very well constructed. The problem here is, i did not use any coding, although i know HTML, i simply used dreamweaver, and only went into code to implement scripts. So to say that you dont need to use dreamweaver is correct, but the fact is, with technology nowadays, you dont even need to learn HTML to build an amazing website. Its all about learning the principles of website design & graphic design for the web. Its taken me only 4 years to become a professional website designer, and at only 17 im now lead web developer for an award winning international marketing agency working as lead technical director on projects for big names such as Halifax PLC, (HBOS), Standard Life, ASDA.com, Capital One, Royal Mint, British Energy, BT, amongst others..... So overall. Although LoudCorsa is right in that you dont need to use dreamweaver to build a website. Dreamweaver is the market standard, and once you have mastered that, you have mastered web design. And you can concentrate on getting graphic design right with photoshop etc, and then implementing the two. Dreamweaver makes lifes a LOT easier in this nature of work....So why you would choose to make things harder by working in notepad, and things taking 20 times longer, and looking 20 times worse, just to be able to say it was hand coded, i have no idea. Stick to Dreamweaver and Photoshop mate and you wont go far wrong. Maybe even a career in it for you. As for the frames, no reason not to use frames in this day and age, 97% of browsers support frames so go for it. As has been mentioned, makesure the frames main page is correctly named and placed in the correct directory. Secondly, the FLASH thing, Macromedia Flash MX is VERY hard to learn, learning actionscripting etc. There is a program called SWISH V2.0 Which makes flash VERY easy. Download that mate, and enjoy your work! http://www.swishzone.com P.S - Anyone like any webdesign work doing, U2U me for a quotation. Thanks [/quote]
