Website help. - mr.pure - 17-10-07
Okay, I'm trying to build a website, very plain, very simple.
I've designed the layout in Photoshop and now I'm saving individual elements for the web and importing them into Dreamweaver.
My first question is, how do set it up so that the browser window is constrained to a certain size so that I don't end up with huge areas of white space loafing around the outside ?
Any helps from you lovely peeps, muchly appreciated !
Many kiss !!

I think that needs to be setup via another link - eg you had a homepage that linked to your main site, you could then specifiy what size window the site opened up in and whether you wanted scrollbars etc. I'm not sure about that tho.
But I dont like those sites, I'd say you're better off starting with the content in a centered table - bit like my shop....

You could add some sort of background in the empty spaces....
I'm sure other people on here know a lot more than me, but let me know if you want a chat about it
RE: Website help. - mr.pure - 17-10-07
I see what you're saying.
Don't really want to do that if I can help it as there is a fade in the background which would be spoilt by having to have a large border.
Cheers though !
RE: Website help. - Teaj - 17-10-07
Can you put up your layout image? or is it top secret
RE: Website help. - mr.pure - 17-10-07
Gotta pop out but I'll do it when I get back.
It ain't pretty !

RE: Website help. - mr.pure - 17-10-07
You're too funny !
No seriously. My sides have actually split !
RE: Website help. - mr.pure - 17-10-07
This could be huge but here's a basic page for one of the Designers.
The red bart near the top will have 2 or 3 buttons on it and there will be different links under the text to go to email and websites.

We had the same problem when developing the website for my place of employment (see here). You are never going to be able to stop people browsing with a maximized explorer window, so we gave our window a definite edge, and shadowed it over the background. I think it works quite well. It means that the centre bit can stay a fixed size, and you reduce the white space by filling it with what ever
Could look something like this, with a subtle pattern on the background to kill the white space...

Just a suggestion, I won't be offended if you hate it
RE: Website help. - mr.pure - 18-10-07
Au contraire Monseiur Deftoned.
Firstly I likes it and secondly, I likes it !
If I can't work out to do it, I'll get back to you.
RE: Website help. - deftoned - 18-10-07
Glad you like it
Don't ask me bout any technical stuff though - I just do pretty stuff, wouldn't be a ble to make a website to save myself
RE: Website help. - woody - 19-10-07
Not sure exactly what you mean pureski but I'd just choose a resolution (I'd suggest 1024 x 76
and design your site to that size. If people use smaller resolutions they have stone age PC's and bigger resolutions aren't that common as a general rule so you should be good.Basically I'd make the layout image in photoshop the right size to fit a 1024 x 768 resolution (there is a set size for this but I can't remember it, pirate'll know
) and then chop it up and export each image, then as you construct the page in dreamweaver, just make each image box the same size as each of your images so the page builds itself to the right size.Does that make any sense?
Probably not!Just let me know if you need any help with anything dude, email me or whatever
RE: Website help. - olstar - 19-10-07
yeah, in short the best way not to have a big gaping white blaock around your site, is to use a subtle background image..
Exactly like deftoned did
RE: Website help. - mr.pure - 19-10-07
Yeah, that's what I've done now but I can't work out how to drop shadow the basic image that is on top of it.
Also, when I'm turning things into hyperlinks, is it possible to have them any other colour than blue ?
RE: Website help. - mr.pure - 24-03-09
Right peeps, I'm getting my site up slowly but surely.
Need a tiny hand with something though.
For some reason the layout of a couple of images has moved to the right by one pixel and I can't see how get them back again.
When the page is live there's an annoying grey line on the screen.
Everything was cut up perfectly when I started and I have no idea why this has happened.
How the fuck do I move the cock sucking thing back 1 pixel ?
Help me nice Superstar people.
Pirate ? Woody ? Olstar ? .........And 10 other equally competent members ?
