Hey you all I am new here and I wanted to ask some questions. I wanted to create a website well, redo a website myself and I have Dreamweaver, Flash, and Illustrator. I was wondering of someone can help me get thru this huge task please. I know you can create a webpage with Dreamweaver but I need direction on how it can be done. I am somewhat an amatuer so any help would be great. Also one more thing, I wanted to redo my business cards and I was told I can do that with Illustrator. I need help with that too.

Thx
Deron

I just want to warn you - DW will 'expect' you to bring some basic
understanding of HTML and CSS to the table. You would do yourself a huge
favor if you tackle this task first before ever opening DW. A good place to
start with that is here - http://www.w3schools.com. Without this background
you will face a VERY steep learning curve.

The general flow of work is this:

1. Put Flash in a locked trunk. Don't remove it until I tell you to.
2. Get a good image editing application. Fireworks comes to mind.
3. Design your site's layout in Fireworks.
4. Based on this layout, plan how you will build that page in HTML.
5. Sliced out the graphics required and export them into a newly created DW
local site.
6. Leave FW and in DW, build the HTML/CSS structure of the page, insert
your necessary graphics and text elements.
7. Rinse, lather and repeat for each page in the site.

To make your life easier, make sure you have investigated both DW Templates,
and Server-side includes before step #4.
