    How to start with webdesign?

    Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm not sure what your budget is, but I would recommend Adobe CS5 web premium or design premium. You'll also need an FTP client. If you have a mac, I'd recommend Cyberduck(free), or if you have a windows machine I'd recommend Filezilla (also free). -Lou

    What was your favorite and least favorite client?

    Perfect font for an artist's portfolio.

    Hello, I'm trying to think of a fancy-ish font for an artists website. The background is black and I'd like the font to be white. I just can't find anything that looks somewhat fancy and readable. This is for a navigation bar on the site btw. -Lou

    What version of DW are you using? I know CS3 and CS4 both create a separate scripts folder. I'm running CS5. If you'd like, you can compress your .flv and send it to me ([email protected]) and I'll send you the files back with the dependent files. I have to run off to the doctor right now but...

    Flash or GIF ?

    depends on what you are trying to accomplish.. How much fluid movement do you need? You can create .gif files with Flash, but it won't let you use movieclips that are on the first frame of the timeline. You literally have to have all the motion and tweens done on the main timeline, as it won't...
