Welcome to my New Website

Hello

After days of toiling relentlessly over my computer like a stranded troglodyte I am proud to present to you my new website. www.willhalldesign.co.uk
As you can see it is still unfinished but stay with it and see it get better and better.

I have been using a number of programs in the construction of this site. Namely: Dreamweaver for the code, Rapidweaver for the content and Photoshop for the images.

For those of you that don’t know, Dreamweaver and Photoshop are part of the Adobe Creative Suite, and are industry standard programs. Dreamweaver is a program for building websites from scratch but is also very useful for editing code. Rapidweaver is a template based web design program whereby you can choose your template and then simply add your content into the content area of your screen. Using Rapidweaver you can build websites with no knowledge of code especially using the YourHead plugins such as Blocks, which gives you a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) interface. However some knowledge of code gives you much more freedom for getting the website you want.

Photoshop is a pixel based program, as opposed to vector based, whereby it is possible to do almost anything imaginable visually. Check out Concept Art to see some of the extents you can go with Photoshop - especially if you are interested in art!

Let me know what you think about the website, what to improve. Do you like the layout? Is it visually interesting enough?

Thanks for reading.

Will :)
