Basically there are 4 types of websites that you can build and each one server a particular purpose and as part of of your web site creation process it’s a good idea to be clear on which type of website you’re out to create!

Now, that doesn’t mean that your website has to be limited to just one of these 4. in fact many websites contain aspects of 2,3 or all 4 of these types.

Here’s a short video I put together for you to better understand these 4 different website types, what they are, why you’d want to use them and when to use them.

Unless you’re living in pre-historic times chances are you’ve probably got some images on your website.

Poorly edited or low quality images can really spoil the look of your website. Using nice clean images can really make you look like a total website wiz.

One of the more popular image editing programs around is adobe photoshop - and like dreamweaver it can be frustrating to use when you’re just starting out.

There are lots of tutorials around on photoshop but many of them spend hours and hours going through useless tools and features that you would never use instead of getting straight to the point.

I don’t know about you - but I don’t want waste hours and hours learning about thing’s I’ll probably never use.

When I started trying to figure out how to actually use photoshop one of the first tutorials I can across was from a guy called David Peters. He had a great “Getting Started” guide that got straight to the point and had me creating crisp clean images in no time at all.

If you’d like to download that tutorial simply enter your details below and you’ll be taken straight to the download page where you can download “Getting Started With Photoshop” right now.

Here’s our latest Dreamweaver Tutorial video (even though it’s not really about dreamweaver…)

I just got a great question from Greg about keywords and I thought I’d share it with you since keywords play an important part in getting your site ranked in the search engines.

Here’s what Greg Asked:

“Can you tell me how it is that when I click on the
-> “View” menu then
-> “Page Source”
only about 1/2 of the websites have their keywords for everyone to see, and the others seem to hide their keywords?”

How can I hide my keywords?

I’m assuming Greg’s referring to the Keyword meta tags here.

Well actually those keywords aren’t REALLY the keywords that the search engines are using when they are ranking your website.

Search engines like google and yahoo etc, actually focus a lot more on the actual keywords that are contained in the content of your pages, in other words the actual content that you visitors are reading rather than the meta tag keywords when ranking your site for keywords.

So basically you can “hide” your keywords by simply leaving them out of the meta tags and making sure you have them as part of the content of the page.

Are all templates the same and how do you use them?

Well, start of by reading this Article on Dreamweaver templates:

http://www.squidoo.com/dreamweaver_templates

Now that’s you’ve done that (you have read it right?) Let me summerise it for you.

As the article explains there are basically 2 types of templates.

One is nothing more than a webpage WITHOUT the content. so it can be used exactly like a balnk sheet of paper with nice border around it.

The other has editable regions which are used to hold content which is unique to each page.

You can use either of them and they’ll both work for you.

It’s just that the REAL dreamweaver templates have that extra functionality that will save you hours when you’re creating your website.

So, if your using templates that you’ve downloaded online chances are they’re just normal blank web pages, unless they specify that they’re Dreamweaver Templates.

The way to tell the differnce is that a true dreamweaver template will finish with a .dwt extension.
