I've been making websites for years but i'm very out of practise and looking to have another go and have a few questions.
1. How should i go about making a website that looks the same (or nearly the same) in all browsers/all resolutions? Should i be using percentages instead of pixel amounts, should i not be using HTML at all? In the past it's not something that's bothered me too much but i know that there are so many browsers and screen resolutions that it's something i should pay attention to now.
2. When it comes to making a website that corresponds well with search engines and still user friendly, should i not use any frames and just use layers or something instead?
I bet you're all wondering how i managed to design any website with questions like that, but as i said, i'm rusty And sorry if this is in the wrong place
Notice from BuffaloHELP:
Topic title changed. Please be specific with topic title and description.
I suppose this forum is as good as any other to post this question in. As to the question about display sizes, sizing pages in ems or %'ages work best for fluid designs. As to Html, that is still the best way. As to Browser compatabilities and producing consistent results across Browsers, begin by developing your site using w3c Standards and test the validity using the w3c Validator. Use a 'compliant' Browser like Opera or Mozilla/Firefox Explorer to start with. After validation, (check your css as well using the w3c css validator), check the site in Internet Explorer and other Browsers to see if the display is 'acceptable'. They will almost never be the 'same', but they should be similar. There are lots of web site that will help you to understand the problems which you will run in to, so when the page has a problem, Google on what you suspect might be the culprit and find a hack to correct it. There will be lots of trial and error during this stage, but it is easier to correct the problems in IE rather than force the standard compliant Browsers to behave incorrectly.
Hope this helps. As you develop your site, check in over at the trap17 html forum to get some assistance.
Don't use frames if you can help it! Write main content into your HTML file first and then add things. Site engines want to see the main points of your site before you know, your favorite movie or whatever. Second, I'm not really sure how Pagerank works exactly, but advertise - make little buttons, leave helpful comments, make friends.
HTML is slowly moving to XHTML, etc, but normal HTML is fine. What you want to make sure is that your site looks similar (as stated earlier) in most browsers. Opera, IE, and FF/Mozilla are the top three, I believe. If you can get a friend to check it for you on Safari (Mac), that'd be cool too. If it doesn't look like it's going to work out, simplify your layout. Add things one at a time so you don't have to go back and take out a whole lot of stuff just to get your site looking good.
And whatever you do, try to learn CSS so you can edit your site a lot easier. It'll also make your pages load faster by taking the design out of the content. Enjoy!
Well, I don't think this is the right place to ask tis question but I need help. I have no idea

and linking within the file (not what I really want to do 2. Having the website and burning it CD,
but having it still work as it does on a webserver 3. just doing it as something else, such as a

this is one thing i've struggled with for ages. I want a webpage where there are little

pictures of the country side listed in pairs or 3's or 4's in a column and you click each
one an the main view on the screen displays that particular picture. How is this achieved. Can any

I am making a website for a friend, and he has asked me to have it so there needs to be a password
to access it. I'm making the website in Dreamweaver, and its an html website. So I need to know
how i am able to make it so you need a password to view the pages. I thought this wasnt possible
with html pages, because if you know the link you can access any page. There would have to be

meebo meebo is a really nice site, it's an browser-based messenger where you can log-in

when this site wasn't so popular and everyone was like, "Urgh, I don't think it is safe to
go there." but now I say, as it is I've been using it for over a month now that it is completely
safe to use meebo. You can do various things after your register yourself there :...

Well, not just hits, but members, more specifically. I'm attempting to put together a forum
community for creative users who wish to participate . Most banner exchange sites and such only
guarantee raw hits, which means that people come, glance at the website, and leave. How can one
reach people with similar opinions/likings in order to gain true members to build a community, aside
from simply going from forum to forum, posting links that may or may not attract intelligent and
creative members?...
www.linksdealing.com firstly such a site if its going to make you come in the top of google and
yahoo it should be there.. but it is not.. the site has a page rank of 0/10 so onwhat basis do u go
there.. the only way to make ur site more popular u come to a site with page rank 6/10 so mayb in
that site's forum you register and start posting a bit and put ur site's link in the siggy..
even that will get a bit of incoming links.. but then if tat site is ready 2 give you a link in its
main page ul be boosted.. also submit your site to se's like lycos or exci...
If you need to track how many visitors you get on your site, referals, where they came from, etc...,
then use: www.statcounter.com It's a free service. Takes about 30 secs to signup. I could
also recommend Google Analytics, however if you do extensive research online between the 2,
you'll see that statcounter is a clear winner. You can use www.googleanalytics.com, if you wish
to track conversions and other business related activities. That's where Analytics excels over
statcounter. With both, you simply insert a piece of code in your site. -A P.S....
