I always start my sites in paint shop, when designing layoutMy designs at first always end up looking completely different in the end. They always take on a life of their own as i start designing it and totally veers off it's first course..very annoying:p |

I always start my sites in a paper notepad, as in physical paper and pencil. I have like ten or twenty designs every time I redesign, and they're usually discarded after I draw them. It's like brainstorming, you just churn out anything you're thought of, and don't limit yourself the moment you think it.
After deciding what design I'll use, I'll type it out on Notepad, in tables, and half the time something is wrong with it, so I spend the next four hours tweaking it so that it'll work. Most of the time the actual design looks vastly different from the paper one... =_=. I don't know anyone else who sketches their design on paper anymore... |

I agree with everything you said minus 1 thing, Sometimes when you (I) go to change it, I either end up not finishing due to lake of time or I have one of those darn days where I can't upload ANYTHING!!!!!
But Just to voice how I do some things is View source from a page open 1st page, and see whats happening, Thats actually how I've taught myself. With 1st page and Paint Shop Pro But Great question you asked I have alot to learn  QUOTE(Ploforia @ Mar 8 2005, 08:38 AM) When creating a web page, I prefer to do a little bit of preplanning first. I sort of brainstorm about what colors I might use and the overall image I want to project and the vibe I want to create with a site or page. Then when I actually get down to business, things change as I design it. I come up with new ideas as I'm coding or designing stuff. It's good to get creative while you are designing because it seems that once you get into the creative 'groove' you come up with the better stuff. So I brainstorm for the overall idea and the actual aesthetics of the whole thing sort of come together as I design. This also seems to hold true for whatever graphic design project I undertake. The revision process is another largely overlooked part of designing. If you get too in love with your first design, you are likely to miss out on all the cool ways you could really make your design better by revising it.  |

I learned quite a bit about html just by copying the source and pasting it in a shareware html editor called CoffeeCup. I'd find a site that looked something similar to what I wanted, and then I kept changing things until I liked it. You can view your progress as you go.

You can go here to get a free 30 day trial of CoffeeCup http://www.coffeecup.com/html-editor/download.php
I've found out that if you delete it off you computer it allows you to download it again. |
