Design tools
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 11:14 amI almost feel like a hieratic but I need some advice/guidance about design tools.
For reference I'm a "mossback" software type. My first "hello world" program was saved on paper tape for a computer with drum memory - And it was state of the art. I have upgraded my hardware sense then, grudgingly using windows OS. Jumped on the CSE Validator when I found it (v 6 I think). This is an example of where I am on web design. I've been using Adobe PhotoShop to create some photo elements to past into my granddaughter's web page.
The problem: I'm working with a non-profit and made suggestions about how they could improve their web pages which are out of date among other things. Their relationship with the developer is not ideal. I think there answer is about to be 'OK your in charge, fix it.'
As you can see the current pages has been developed with Adobe GoLive and Front Page. I feel I will need to provide an order more glitz than what I have been doing. On the other hand the town does not have fiber optic, lots of folks use a town wide WiFi vis DSL. One of the board members has dial-up.
Suggestions? tools? books? guidance? Thanks.
