The most non-iWeb site looking competition!

razorianfly this is a very nice site. I really enjoyed looking at your work.

After you publish a site, you cannot, I repeat, CANNOT reopen a page in iWeb. When you open iWeb you are opening the stored .xml file, not the html files. So, once you publish, then you modify the html to make a form, then you send it up to your host. You can't see the form inside iWeb.

So, if you want to customize a page with a form, or something else (i.e. adds) it has to be on one page that you're not going to change in iWeb again. If you do, you'll have to edit the code again after you publish it. Also, keep a copy of your modified html file separate from your site, as every time you publish from iWeb it will get overwritten with the unedited page the iWeb puts out.

Hi Snowy,
You spell things out so clearly above, and yet (as someone who'd just looking at iWeb for the first time today) I still need elaboration.
I want to put together a web site for my one-man (me) video production company, and I want to be able to change some of the content (i.e. samples of videos) as I finish new projects; maybe too add testimonials from happy clients (if and when I get them).
So are you saying this is hard to do? i.e., will it be hard for me to update my iWeb pages?
Cheers,
malch

Thanks Fiasco. I just tried to find ways of avoiding everything iWeb seemed to insist on. Like a menu at the top with a default font, which I turned off, and made my own buttons as hyperlinks to other pages. My business partner made a company DVD with a similar layout so I thought I'd try and replicate elements of that in some way. Unlike my previous Photoshop-heavy attempts, I made this almost entirely in iWeb, with their shapes, grads etc. which was really manageable. I really like the software in it's ease of use. It's definitely got its limitations (like no built in rollover buttons) but otherwise it's a great way to get a site online with little or no web experience, and a bit of imagination/determination. Cheers.

Your site is inspiring... I need to work on my photography portfolio site and would love to be able to do something like that in iweb.
 
Is the code that bad?

Hi all,
apart from some of the code going waaaay to the right, is it really that bad? (This is a non-coder speaking... just learning the basics).

Is it normal to see so many div's like this? If so, surely iWeb's doing some neat code, better than what I remember my GoLive pages doing anyway. :eek:


<div id="id5" style="height: 30px; left: 35px; position: absolute; top: 761px; width: 274px; z-index: 1; " class="style_SkipStroke_3">

<div class="text-content graphic_textbox_layout_style_default_External_274_30" style="padding: 0px; ">
<div class="graphic_textbox_layout_style_default">
<p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_5"><span class="style_3">Last updated in January 2008 © Copyright Fung Lam 2008.<br />Designed by Fung Lam. All Photos by Milena Mihaylova.</span></p>

I'm interested in what other professional web designers think of this approach — just "scroll right" to see all the images. I don't know if I've seen that before on a portfolio piece but it seems to work. What do others think?

Actually I've seen that on quite a few portfolio sites. I would do that for mine too... if I can ever figure out how to get a non-iweb looking site done in iweb.
 
I've mentioned this before but it's been totally redesigned:

templescene.com


The thing that really gives it away as an iWeb site is the blog layout on the front page - unfortunately it's not very customisable (especially the light-coloured links).

But I think we've made a good effort with the rest of it.

PS - sorry it plays music I think we can be forgiven because that's kind of the point of the site :)
 
feedback please :)

hey
all the site here are wicked! very imaginative approach to a lot of them creating superb outcomes!

i'v recently updated and slightly changed my portfolio website for my graphics work, and i'd very much appreciate some other feedback on it!!

I like exploring your new site, especially like the way different kind of graphics blending together. One small suggestion: you may like to consider replacing the three floating objects (above Home, Portfolio and Contact) with ones that has got the same cardboard texture (with the sides showing)? Those buttons for me are the only thing that seem slightly out-of-place on the page.

Cheers.
 
Thanks for the feedback funglam!
I may change them to something more pin-looking then, maybe a map pin or something.
I'l post again when i've changed it.

Thanks again :D

p.s. nice site! and sweet music! keep up he good effort!
 
From Scratch

I think that if Apple keeps updating iWeb to meet pro standards, it could easily outmatch Dreamweaver. I hate all iWeb templates, so I always start with a blank page and create the layouts with shapes, and integrate iWork's Pages templates and design ideas into iWeb. I am creating a website for my small business, IT IS NOT COMPLETE but you can still see how the layout works out well.

I think it looks pretty decent/professional and simple but I don't know about the rest of you... well? :)

Nevermind. I had commented that at work all I could see were light blue boxes, but the pages just took ages to load. It is a very nice looking site. :) The only problem I have is with IE6, the my update text is halfway in the image and impossible to read. I am viewing the page in 1024x768.

oh really? I better have a look.......but it is not designed for IE anyway. :D
