I actually did this a few times and I think 14 hours start to finish is not bad. A few things that I took advantage of:
In Adobe I used the Image Ready tool to draw guides around my images and then create HTML with the sliced guide sections. (Saves a lot of time converting layout design to html). Usually you have two main sections of a website (especially simple sites) the navigation and content areas. I would create a template with the HTML generated by IR. Then just send a query string along with each of the sections of the website for instance if you had three sections (home, content1, content 2) I would code the links all to go to index.cfm?stage=#x# (the template from IR). Each different stage would just include the content inside the template where needed. I hope that makes sense. It just gives you a way to control content separate from layout. That way if the client wanted to change either, you didn't chase the changes around. Just something to think of. -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 9:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: how long should this take(Opinions) I am working a full time tele-commute job for a company, and was wondering how long doing the following should take. It is currently taking me about 14 hours and I was wondering if anyone considers this too long. 1. The site design is layed out in photoshop by our designer and I cut and create the new images for the site from these image files. 2. Most sites I am working on have approx 10 - 15 pages that need this layout applied and their are about 3 or 4 different layouts per site. 3. They have an ASP shopping cart that must be applied to each page, Copy and paste stuff...
