Website design

Hi All,

I am working on a small website for my office. I thought of using
Frames but looking at the posts, i have learned that frames are not
the ideal way to design the site.

Hence, please tell me how should i approach the designing part of the
website. i am fairly new this so any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,
navin

Read a good tutorial book. The only good ones I know are "Head First
HTML with CSS" (read this first) and Lie & Bos' "Cascading Style
Sheets" (don't open it until you've read the first).

I don't know any other good books, I don't know any good websites.
Seriously. The problem with this business isn't learning stuff, it's
avoiding learning badly-written misunderstandings from the wrong
places.

Yes, frames are a bad idea.

Use XHTML and CSS - it's easier, and much more straight forward.

This site: http://www.tizag.com/ taught me, and its got lots of
examples etc.

Best use DIVs that are CSS styled. You can google on that topic. If
you want to emulate a frame with scroll-bars, then you can set the
height of a DIV and use the overflow property. Reason why not to use
frames is because it will clutter your pages, site and will lower the
general performance . If you use 3 frames, then you have 3 pages to
create, to maintain and to load. Using DIV you will have only 1 page.

There are plenty of online tutorials to help you out.

Good luck!

Ah but is you have 3 divs, think about it, you will then have the
burden of maintaining them. Life on earth is not easy.

Begs the question: did you use your product to devlop your own site?

Obligatory links:



And "Call for Pricing" Heh. I think you are outside Navin's range.

And by having a drop down list of "states" that *only* include those in
North America they are, knowingly or not, restricting their sales to less
than 5% of the people on the planet.
