I use Dreamweaver exsluively. For both personal and buisness.

www.pregrid.com is a Motorsports Marketing page(s) including a few main pages and many member pages. Be sure to check out the Tier 3 Demo which is done all if FLASH and VERY VERY Cool :)

www.gopc.com was done with DW

www.pcrnr.com - DW

www.pcads.be - DW

www.GolfCoachGolf.com - DW and the sister site to www.thewomensgolfschool.com also done in DW but with frames.

All very different sites, all very cool and work very well. DW is, in my humble opinion, the very best program on the market. Sure, someone will disagree but just look at the sites. The Quality is not lacking despite my meager skills.

I give it two thumbs up :)

you need a hosting account in order for you to upload to your domain, your webhosting provider will provide the primary/secondary dns to point your domain to. HTH

i dont know what version of dreamweaver if it's version 3 then click on "Site" pull down menu of dreamweaver and then "New Site" it will open a dialogue windows, provide local info, local folder , web address. then click on "web server info" server access click on "ftp" however i have never used dreamweaver to upload files before i bet it's slower than most ftp (file transfer protocol) client, for faster use:
http://www.coffeecup.com/free-ftp/ don't worry it's free.

for the webhost account you need to pay from range of U.S.$4.00 to U.S.$10.00 per month depending on what shared hosting specifications you want, i'll private message you after i post this.

DAXWAX, thanks and congratulations for the sales :sold:

DW is not really used in the commercial world. It is used by begginners. I would recommend learning to hand code.

DW has an FTP program built into it if you should want to use it. Personally, I use WS-FTP Pro. WS-FTP standard is available at no cost I believe and downloadable from the Internet. My understanding is that WS-FTP is the most widely used FTP Upload software anywhere. It may or may not be ture... doesn't matter to me. I love it and use it daily.

I'm not found of coffee-cup. I'll leave it at that. ;)

Sure, hand code is best... but it doesn't sound like he's ready for that nor has the time to learn it. Like most, he is looking for the best solution under a constraint of time and presumably not wanting to pay a code cruncher 1000's of dollars to build his site.

someone please HELP!! BLUEHOST Aand DREAMWEAVER!!

Hi.. I have been, and am in the process of designing a website, im using dreamweaver. Last nght I purchased a domain name, www.carnagenz.com and tried (for my first time ever) to upload a basic website onto this site containing only 2 images and one link. however the pictures wont load up or show on the webpage, as u may view it at the site. I am using Blue Host as i have been refered to but am not entirely sure how to upload it all (as maybe im not doing it properly).. could someone please give me instructions as how to do it all properly... thank you very Much

Did you create an index.html?

If so, what did you put in it?

You have linked to the images on your computer and not the webserver.

Your webserver does not have a My Documents etc.

<img src="../../My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Superman.jpg"

I don't think so anyway.

yeh as posted in your other thread....(no need for 4 threads dude)

The reason they won't show is you src is...

<img src="../../My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Superman.jpg" width="90" height="144"></div>

and it needs to be

<img src="Superman.jpg" width="90" height="144"></div>

Same with all images, also try to refrain from using all caps and spaces in names of images.

Hope this helps.

DAXWAX you need to upload the image to the /images folder and make sure you upload as binary. relax and don't panic, take a deep breath, you have just registered the domain and you need to allow 24 to 48 hours before every internet browsers in the world can see it. :)
missing image is:
http://www.carnagenz.com/images/jono.jpg

if the folder /images does not exist you need to create it manually.

Just built another site (rebuilt GoPC actually) with DreamWeaver MX studio. Took me about 6 hours complete, end to end. Tell me this isn't good for commercial work. LOL! www.gopc.com

Not bad for 6 hours work. DreamWeaver totally rocks.

And that's my honest opinion too :)

Dreamweaver is used world wide commercially. I do alot of my hand code in it also.

The design firm I work for also use dreamweaver to do their back-end coding.

Are you kidding? ColdFusion developers, PHP developers, HTML developers, all commercially use this program. Just because it has a graphical designing interface doesn't mean you can't use it to program by hand. I use it exclusively for the syntax highlighting, code collapse, and built-in FTP and file management. It saves A LOT of time, rather than using Notepad and an FTP program :imho: .

DAXWAX,

I see a picture. I would recommend making the picture smaller and saving it. See if you are shrinking a picture on a website from a bigger version then it will sometimes look distorted and it will always take longer to load. If you have it smaller you can load the exact size and the load time will cut in half!
