I came to web design basically the same way... From the print and design world. What I've done to figure out how it looks before uploading it to the server is, make a change to your page, and then save it, and load it up in your local browser(s). That way, you don't corrupt your server copy of it, and you can still see it locally without relying on dreamweaver to display it... Never could get that to work correctly anyway so I just code all my stuff by hand. > > > I'm going to set the navigation font size so it doesn't resize. The > words are pretty big as it is. The hardest part for me was realizing that the web is not print... Unfortunately we don't have full control over how it looks unless we make it a PDF to download, which isn't optimal. Once I was okay with it not being pixel perfect, my life got a lot less stressful!
