The Four Ps

Does anyone know where I can find some simple, clean graphics for webdesign? I am looking for things like arrows for next buttons, symbols that represent larger image available (usually simple plus signs), e-mail symbols, etc.

Someone will give you a freebie site here, I’m sure. And there’s always http://www.google.com/images

For $19, the one I’ve used over the years is a cd I bought from http://www.grsites.com - a wealth of not only buttons but also website textures (backgrounds) and fonts.

I am in the process of starting my own company (private limited by shares)and was wondering if it made any difference to pay for the website from my Business bank account, or from my personnal bank account ?

If you’re looking to get your own site started, I suggest starting out on your own to help save you expenses during this start-up time period. Office Live Small Business is extremely inexpensive, and it provides you with all sorts of tools to help a small business stay efficient and effective in the market. You get your own @yourname.com email address, along with multiple aliases if you like. And, it’s template-based, so you don’t need to know how to code to generate an impactful online presence. Learn more about it here: http://smallbusiness.officelive.com.

Hope this helps you trim down some of your start-up expenses. Good luck!

Hi, I am a freelancer webdesigner and looking for more projects. what’s the best way to get more projects?
any good ideas?
thanks

This may not be what you’re looking for but volunteermatch.com always needs webdesigners. If you’re looking to flesh out your resume, this may be the way. Also, if you do a good job as a volunteer it can sometimes lead to jobs, especially via word-of-mouth recommendations.

Good luck!

i have multiple questions, i have been using html for the last year and started looking at php, ive gotten the php server side include to work and was wondering if theres a better way on making a website menu bar

2.) is there any adobe dreamweaver look alikes

1) Rather than server side includes, I usually use PPWizard - an HTML pre-processor. I’ve also written an open source application (WeNoSt - web node structure) to use with PPWizard to create complete website, including empty pages, navigation structures and menus from a single text file.

2) The free WYSIWYG web browser that I recommend is Kompozer

For further details on all of these programmes see http://www.html-tags-guide.com/html-software.html

For other Dreamweaver alternatives see http://blog.webdistortion.com/2008/04/12/webdesign-on-a-budget-six-free-alternatives-to-dreamweaver/

With the market saturated with "do-it-yourself" books and internet template sites, is it still possible for one to make a reasonable living as a web designer? Sometimes I wonder.

Yes. Most people who want to learn web-design do not do well. They are at best proficient in HTML at the end, and rarely figure out the backend stuff.

Research any negative or positive externalities the industry produces. Does the transaction of a buyer and seller directly affect a third party? Is the effect a negative or positive externality? How does the externality impact the economy?
Research whether the industry produces public goods or private goods, or is a natural monopoly. Are the goods or resources rival, excludable, or neither? Explain.

First, define what you call negative or positive externalities. Do this in porno or prostitution? What about slavery or child selling? What about guns? Or knives? fees? Credit cards?

Second, what if the transaction is free? Dating services? Is it free?

Third, impact economy? slavery? prostitiution? crimes? drugs? Drugs - medical or street.

Four, public or private goods - banking, government reports. Same can be use for a Natural monopoly (oil)

Five, competition for resources. (steel - cars, trucks, buildings) (heating - oil, coal) (stone- railroads, roads, buildings) trade magazines, banking, government

Keep in mind, web-design includes ordering, buying, and communications.

Think of a product for an example rubber - tires- bicycles, cars, trucks, airplanes The list can go on for rubber.

Communications - ordering, buying, communication, selling. all have an effect or affect on the externallities of econemy, life style or health of the individual, institution, families, governments. And the thought of polices due to reports, interpetations, and actions.

Just a quick thought of some of the areas and topics you can use.

Try contacting the local IAG (Information Advice & Guidance at your local college)

They may be able to advise you

Good luck

I am designing a website and I have been focusing mainly on the functionality and ‘inner-workings’ of the site. But while doing so, I felt that things might be easier if I had a design to add the functionality to, instead of having to add design to my functions. People experienced in this field, please help.

Functionality is more important than design, but as you say yourself, it can be hard to develop functionality without having a design in mind.

What I usually do when designing a site is do up a mock-up of what I want the site to look like, in Photoshop. I keep it simple and basic at first, something I know I can do easily without spending a lot of time on the design. Then I get to work on the functionality while working towards this simple design. Once the functionality is implemented and working on this simple design, I might decide to spruce up the design a bit. The design should only start to get more complicated once the functionality is in place, otherwise it’s easy to spend too much time on the design and end up with half-finished functionality.

Doing a mock-up design gives you a direction to go in, and if you start to get lost, it gives you something to refer back to. So I’d definitely recommend giving this method a shot.

please tell me any of software .

Why don’t you view all the Dreamweaver videos offered if you want to learn to use it. There are also hundreds of online sites with Dreamweaver tutorials (free) that you can read. Adobe alone has more than you could ever read. Even using your own Dreamweaver’s Help Files is a lot of reading, but highly useful to learn how to use DW.
