Does anyone else play around with web design?

I took a class on it last year. I still have a lot to learn.

After I left this forum this morning I spent the rest of the day updating two of my websites. I linked my school portfolio website to my art website. I am going to add some writing to the art website this week. Tonight I am going to work on my business website domain but it will be a while before I add Paypal buttons and start selling stuff. Right now I am just in design mode. I linked it to my main art website. So it has been fun playing around with web design. I have been experimenting with CSS, XHTML, and HTML.

 

I use to be a Hot Shit in San Francisco and New York City. I don't know what the high end firms do now-a-days.

Yer Buddy.

 

very little. i got into it a bit a couple years ago, but i've largely lost interest since then.

 

Ive tried to find an easy way to get my small bakery business out there just a bit more, but cant afford to hire someone to create a website for me Any tips on how I could design it easily myself? Like a template sort of solution? I mean I did google this but dont know which ones I could trust.. Theres http://www.webeden.co.uk/ and http://www.moonfruit.com/ and many others, but could someone recommend one? Also, im trying to get some flyers printed, Ive been looking at either my local printer or http://print24.com/uk/ has anyone got experience if theyre good?

thanks :afro:

 

my buddy actually runs a local site that does that. its called ourswfl.com It is mostly used by south west florida businesses but im sure he could figure a way to make it work for you. Tell him Alex sent ya

 

cool thanks for the tip dude!

 

Good luck with your bakery, I helped a friend run a bakery back when I was in my 20's before I had internet.

Years ago when I started my website through Angel fire I self taught myself HTML by reading their tutorials. When I took classes our professor linked us to this site.

Since my friend and I did not have internet back when we ran our bakery, he went to stores and coops and showed them samples of our products. We were quite successful. Coops and stores in both Wisconsin and Minnesota carried our products. I business grew to the point we had to hire more bakers and a delivery person. So it does help to do foot work as well as using a website.

 

Thanks alot Isadoran, really appreciate the tips Yea were just getting started but I'll keep tha in mind, thanks!

 

yo everyone. i just joined hipforums yesterday in my search for metaphyisics and mysticism discussion groups, where i started to post http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=454799&f=96. but also, while on hipforums, i discovered your thread.
lemme premise this by saying in some ways im bona-fide certified verified from a fuckin nother planet, but the flip side is i have some revolutionary business and revolutionary period projects that could turn out to be solid. they do have a lot to do with HOME-DESIGNED SIMPLE WEBPAGES, all connected together via http://the-internet-market.com/
i am no web designer. years ago i had a simple program that helped me design simple websites, but then i switched from mac to pc and found myself without a program. i also am profoundly opposed to this society's cultural "expectations and needs" that for a person or small business to put themselves out there on the web they're suposed to fuckin depend on a fucking web designer to make their online presence "all slick and shit." fuck that. power to the people! and independence too! so i simply right-clicked "view page source" from my previous webpages, figured out the MOST BASIC html lines (for aligning center, adding image, making links) and pasted edited some pretty fuckin basic pages. turns out the more simple/basic, the better suited for viewing on a smartphone anyway. naturally, i would welcome big businesses/orgs with fancy pages to the-internet-market too, but i love the idea of the average jane simply linking (or letting me link) their facebook or simple page to and from the-internet-market. so, whether its isadoran and her (his?) new quest, or danielM and his bakery, ck it out and let me know if you wanna be connected. as i say in the metaphysics posts, we all r anywayz.

I'm not a webdesigner but I play one on tv.

<rant>It's something I have an interest in but no real experience. I sat down one evening and learned the basics of HTML back in the Myspace days and got pretty good at mocking up a webpage from scratch & editing & ripping apart code. I still remember some of it but nothing hardcore. It came in handy when I got on Tumblr. I have a natural affinity for it so I may pursue is further once I go back to school. Good luck & much success to you though</rant>
