Dreamweaver, and general website design

[DAXWAX]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how using Dreamweaver I would add these 2 things to my website?
* A counter on my page to count the amount of people view my site,
* and add a guest book for people to sign etc. (could you explain using dreamweaver or if not is there a code i could copy paste?)

also: I was wondering how much all you web site designers charge clients etc. for a website? in american dollars?

Thank you very much and at the same time, Congratulations to New Zealands trading website www.trademe.co.nz, is in the paper today for selling to an Australian man for $700 Million dollars!!!!! how insane is that, good on the guy as he started it up as a little hobby to use as a internet garage sale site!!!

Guest books and counters can be found for free on the net. They then give you code to paste into DW. I charge $100 for non profits and $200 for profiting companies right now while I build a portfolio. This is extremely cheap. They don't have a lot of content, which helps.

you can always check on popular tutorial websites such as
Pixel2Life.com

Does pixel2life have scripts? I always thought it was for imaging.

im not sure and i cant check now but zymic.com does.

well those counters are free on most of the cpanel hosting

so that will be easy no searching .. just search a cpanel host

and there you go

There are a bunch of free counter sites out there though. It won't be hard to run a Google on it.

my advice would be to code a php one yourself but as i said zymic.com has a load of them, im sure you can use one.

If he/she is using DW then that probably means they are new to the field. If he/she is new to the field he/she probably can't even code HTML. Maybe if you pointed him/her to a place where they could find php code to make their own that would be a start.
