From Web Design to Website

Bridge the Gap Between Graphic Design and the Web

WebDesigntoWebsiteSometimes the most difficult part of creating a website is a step that is often overlooked: converting a graphic design into HTML/CSS files to be used on the web. This step is why many people reach out to someone who knows website design in Bedford to help them create their dream site. In this workshop, expert web developer and trainer Candyce Mairs shows you how to use a design created in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as the basis for a website created with Dreamweaver. If you don’t quite understand the website design process then it might be worth searching Web Design Cardiff to find a professional in your area with the expertise to do this for you. Anyway, you’ll learn how to “slice” graphic design for conversion, optimize and export your images for the web, and plan how you are going to organize your website. These steps can be shaped by making a web design questionnaire or by going off a list of requirements.

Then, as the course moves into Dreamweaver, you’ll use HTML and CSS to create web pages, add content, and format and position that content. Finally, you’ll see how to test your pages in a variety of browsers to make sure you get the best results. If you feel like that is a lot to take in, it can be to someone who hasn’t dealt with web design and development before. If you feel like you might want to have someone else/another company help design your website so you know that it is running smoothly and looking the way you want it to be, you can contact companies such as Big Gorilla Design to discuss your vision for your web design. Always do what’s best for you and your business in getting the word out.

Building the Application Framework and Handling Errors in ColdFusion 9

Control Page Events and Improve Site Performance

AppFrameworkHandlingErrorsColdfusionAnyone who works with ColdFusion-based websites should understand the application and error handling frameworks. Taking advantage of the application level allows you to control events in your pages, offers better performance for your website and web pages, and gives you complete control of error handling within a site. Above all, understanding the above can make it easier for you to remedy any caching issues through platforms such as spring cache. Ultimately, if you were not already aware, caching is the process of saving data temporarily so the site, browser or app does not need to download it each time. There are lots of ways data can be cached but typically it is the duty of the website owner to set what is known as a header on the data. This tells the computer being used that the data can be cached, and stipulates for how long. The website owner then sets caching instructions and your browser gets told what to download. There should also be instructions on how and where to store any temporary files. Essentially you can manually change policies on what is cached at any time, to reduce what is being stored on your device. In this unique workshop from expert developer Candyce Mairs, you´ll use ColdFusion Builder as the development environment for building a complete ColdFusion application and error handling framework. Additional topics include speeding up your ColdFusion performance using query caching and looking at your server performance using the Server Monitor.
