    Dreamweaver

    Doing on the cheap? That's what this forum is about, helping each other create a healthy profitable and functioning business. If Wordpress can be used be people at home and scaled up to big business like the Wall Street Journal, I would say that is an endorsement.

    If you read the post he wasn't talking about designing websites but building them using templates.

    Dreamweaver

    I agree, that would would be an advanced stage. However whether you like it or not CMS sites are the fastest growing type of site out there. You are going to have to adapt. Wordpress is essentially a beginner CMS. However it can produce professional sites Wall Street journal Magazine is one...

    Dreamweaver

    BDW, I agree there are a lot of things to being a webdesigner. The guy wants to be a part-time webdesigner tho. What cheap, quick tool which produces professional results would you suggest is a good starting point? Incidently, put any term into google, see what comes out top, run it thro W3C...

    Dreamweaver

    Sigh Andy - Another batch of constructive criticism. Coming back to the UK makes me squirm sometimes. So the guy wants to be a PART-TIME webdesigner ......you reckon he should splash out 400 quid on Dreamwearweaver? go the whole hog and buy Creative Suite for a couple of grand? spend a couple...

    Dreamweaver

    CMS templates are mostly layers of CSS. I agree with you, Dreamweaver is good for making CMS templates. Have been using Dreamweaver since the 1st incantation over 12 years ago. However the scalability issue makes it a bad choice for a new webpage designer or new business. That was the point of...

    Dreamweaver

    Toucher - Of course it gives errors thro a w3c validator it's running thro cloudfront. You can't use cookie cutter tools to prove a point. It's like using an MOT to test an aircraft's roadworthyness. Sorry but that is the way that the business is going. Static sites are dead. Web 2.0 has become...

    I am 14. What would be a simple business?

    Point 1. Ignore the naysayers. The UK has a very negative culture. You are going to get slapped an awful lot, in the business world, in academia, and life in general. The key point is to get up, dust yourself off and make your business work. Just go for it!! Point 2. A paper round is not...

    Dreamweaver

    Dear Bdw, I looked at your homepage and think you need to give CMSs a second look. They have come a long long way. Been down the Dreamweaver, handcoding paths. Design is only one factor in a successful webbusiness. This is one of my sites - cool****injapan dot com. It's gimmik heavy but that is...

    Wordpress hosting

    Uk and US are not regulation friendly places to host. Two that I use for shared hosting are Hostpapa in Canada - use .ca not .co.uk or .com. and cybaultra dot net in Singapore. Both have unmetered bandwidth and have little downtime.

    Spyware Malware Etc

    Hi, I see several of you piling into a guy for seemingly plugging eset/nod32. IMHO it is the best virus detector. The least invasive, as it is possible to remove the thing without jumping thro hoops and doesn't eat up as much background memory. Usually if I make something for free I don't go...
