Hi Rachel,
Many thanks for your positive imput which gives me some incentive to carry
this through. I have listened, looked and watch for answers to questions on
one or two lists and feel maybe I am ready to wet toes (not feet yet) and
venture into Web design to see how my first one goes.
I need the tuts and links so thanks for those. I need to catch up with
Peters mail which must still be at BT.
Thanks Rachel I feel really positive now.
Kate

Hi Kate,
For a first webpage you're doing pretty well - you have some images
there and have changed the background colour and text colour on the
page.
However, using the Dreamweaver design view approach will not give you
the best end results, or teach you the best practices. Peter's link
gives you some really good tips on moving beyond the elementary use of
Dreamweaver's design view, and point 5 - validate your page to find
basic errors is a definite step you don't want to miss.
Other than that, you may want to look at following online tutorials.
For example, your menus can be enhanced by following some easy steps
(for example,
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listutorial/horizontal_introduction.htm)
which you can then edit as you like. You will be able to find many
tutorials for page layout, table styling, menus etc. by searching Google
and people here will also be able to give you pointers on good
tutorials.
Then moving forward when you feel more confident with editing the html &
css from these tutorials, you will be able to build your own menus and
eventually the entire website from scratch based on your custom design
:)
All the best,
Rachel

Hello,
My first attempt at Web design but only first step to any design and
wondered what you think so far as to:
Top menu/color/images/table/..gently *grin
In IE the page color is white so need to find how to get the correct
color. This color works in FF ok - #172228
I am working in DW8 on WinXP
I have yet to get to grips with CSS yet but learning as I go along.
Thanks
Kate.
