Web+Design,+using+Dreamweaver

=Web Design, Using Dreamweaver = =Preparing for your web page=


 * Please follow these directions closely.**
 * Part A**


 * 1) ====Rename all of your final assignments to a small, short name. All files for the web must be lower case with no numbers or symbols.====
 * 2) ====Double check to be sure that all of the files for your web page are 72 dpi. Do this in Photoshop, under image > image size.====
 * 3) ====Change the size of the document to 7” for the largest measurement. Be sure the constrained proportion box is checked, so the other measurement automatically changes.====
 * 4) ====Save all images for web as JPEGS. Do this under Save As > Format > JPEG.====
 * 5) ====Save all images for the web in a folder on your hard drive, in your sites web folder. Title it your initials imagesweb. For example, mnimagesweb.====
 * 6) ====Create a folder in your sites folder, titled, first initial, last name, “web” all one word, lower case. **Everything you create in dreamweaver and any images all must be organized into this web folder.**====
 * 7) ====Drag the images folder into the web folder.====


 * Everything that you put on your web site must be in this folder**...the images(jpgs) and pages(htm) that you create in Dreamweaver.


 * Now you are ready to create your web page.**

**Part B**
1. Launch Dreamweaver and "create new HTML."

2. A blank page appears.

3. Save to Documents folder on the hard drive. Title the page your first initial, last name, “home”, all lower case, one word (ie: mnoackhome).

4. Be sure to save this immediately and title the top of the page as well.

5. I would suggest that you put all images on their own layers so that you can move them around as you wish.

6. Under the “common” pull down menu, choose layout. This is located in the upper left corner of your screen.

7. Click on the 3rd icon in, “Draw Layer”.

8. Draw the layer, then be sure to click inside the box before choosing Insert>Image.

9. To insert images: Insert - image ( navigate through folder to find the image).

10. To change background color: Modify - page properties - background - APPLY - OK. To find great background go to grsites.com.

11. To see the properties table/dialogue box: Window - properties.

12. To center images: In the PROPERTIES dialogue box - click the “centered text” icon.

13. To bold or italics text: In the PROPERTIES dialogue box - click the “B” or “I” key. OR use your APPLE quick keys: apple B, apple I, etc. Remember that EDIT UNDO IS apple Z.

14. To preview your page so that you can see what it will look like on the Internet: Click on the “globe” icon at the top of the page.
