How Dreamweaver CS4 Speeds Up The Web Development Prcocess

By David Robertson

If you have ever wanted to build your own website, you might not even know where to start. If you've done the research and you're looking for the simplest program for regular users, it's likely that you've heard of Adobe Dreamweaver. This is one of the simplest web design programs to use, and the fact that it includes an HTML editor just makes it that much more useful. It doesn't matter if you're looking to create a website for fun or for business. There's something for everyone in Adobe Dreamweaver, but before you get stuck into design, you need to learn how to use the program properly.

There are so many different books and tutorials out there offering Adobe Dreamweaver training, but you might not know how to choose the right one. First of all, if you want learning the program to be as simple as using it is, you'll need to leave the books on the shelf.

Books are great for some subjects, but when it comes to web design, having that hands-on experience can make or break your success in using the program. Just like children, who learn the alphabet better by seeing it and writing it, our brains are wired to learn things by example and by being shown. It's our nature for us to be more "show me" than "tell me" when it comes to learning.

With computers, hands-on use is essential to your making sure you understand everything. If you can't see the computer screen, you won't know the difference between the cursor and the pointer, other than that one is shaped like an arrow and the other is a blinking line. It's really a matter of basic common sense. If you use training software to learn Adobe Dreamweaver, your brain will get to see how the program works, and then you can duplicate what you have seen. If you just read a book, your brain will likely get stuck between the information and execution stages because you are not seeing the program in use.

Adobe Dreamweaver makes website building really easy for anyone. Taking the time to invest in training software and tutorials that can show you how to succeed with Dreamweaver will make learning the program just as straightforward as using it can be. It doesn't matter if you're a professional web designer, or if you just want to build your own website. You can learn Adobe Dreamweaver much more rapidly if you take the time to get involved in a hands-on training method. - 32522

Profit With Website Design

By Jacob Karpen

Web designers have the ability to make rather handsome amounts of money. It may not be easy to do so, but it can be done. Some get lucky, and others struggle, but each has the power to find their own way. Having the tools is only one part of knowing how to make money designing websites, however, and having the knowledge is the rest.

One method for making money is to work for a design company. Some companies specialize in designing websites and hire various web designers for that purpose. A lot of these companies will have a posting for "web masters" somewhere.

You could be employed by a company that has contracts to design websites for other companies. The work is more stable, as you're designing other websites, not just one. And the work comes from contracts you aren't responsible for.

Alternatively, you could avoid dealing with design companies and do the work yourself. This method requires some sort of individual popularity though. That means having a business card, website, logo, or a combination.

Having a logo or a signature or some sort of mark on a website is a very important thing for the self-employed designer. This mark will show up on every website that you design. The more you design, the more often your logo/signature shows up, the more people see it.

As your name gets heard, you'll get more contracts. As you get more contracts, you get your name out there even further, and it will grow exponentially from there. If you couldn't tell, the success of a web designer is heavily based on their popularity, which means the key to making money as one is to have a good amount of popularity.

If you're looking for the lazier route of money-making, it's in advertising. All you'll have to do is make a website that people will likely see and you can put advertising space on it. You'll get a certain amount of money based on the popularity of your site. The only problem is that it can be boring.

The most complicated method would be to have a site that sells some kind of product. You could sell your own product or someone else's and make a commission off of it. Like any website, however, this will also require having a popular site.

There's so many ways on how to make money designing websites, and each has it's own set of pros and cons. Some are better because they're more interesting, while others are better because their easy. If you're good enough, though, it won't matter what route to take. By the end of the day, it's money in the bank from simply sitting around watching the progress. - 32522
