I need help, beginning Dreamweave user here...

Report · Dec 08, 2023

It's my first time using this, and coding is really a dozy for me. -_-

I need to know how to pad my text in my div columns within a certain width, along with the largest image to dip slightly below the navbar and above the div content below. I am using Bootstrap for these assets.

Also, I would like to apply that to my navbar titles and link buttons as closely as possible. Here's a screenshot on how I would like it to look in the final product attached.

Here's my HTML code:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link href="Styles/0606-v2styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>

<body>

<nav class="navbar">

Having said that, why Bootstrap 4? Why not Bootstrap 5.3???

Why use Dreamweaver which is not being updated?

Wappler, the only real Dreamweaver alternative.

If you are not comfortable with coding or find it overwhelming, DW may not be the best solution for you irregardless of the fact that DW is not actively being updated at the moment. You may want to consider options like Wordpress with page builder plugins, or hosted solutions like Wix/Squarespace/Webflow/etc.

or hosted solutions like Wix/Squarespace/Webflow/etc.

By @Ben M

I will just add in that scenario make sure you're not "buying" into something you know nothing about. I have had a few clients recently that have gone down the route of DIY using some of the widely acclaimed solutions available only to take 2 steps back in my opinion. Web development is best left in the hands of a professional if you do not have enough knowledge to uncover the hidden pitfalls. Could do more damage than good to your business unless you are just playing around for fun.

The frustration for me is even when you point those pitfalls out the client refuses to acknowledge the issues. I guess they are in too deep, financially, once committed, have usually signed a 'contract', and don't want to be informed.

Use built-in Bootstrap utility classes.

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/spacing/

m = margin, p = padding.

Sides: t = top, l = left, r = right, b = bottom, x = both left & right, y = both top & bottom.

Sizes: (based on 0.25 - 3 rem) 0 = 0 rem, 1 = 0.25 rem, 2 = .50 rem , 3 = 1 rem, 4 = 1.5 rem, 5 = 3 rem.

As an example,

<h3 class="p-t-3">This heading has padding-top of 1 rem on all devices.</h3>

Hope that helps.
