Every program has its "About..." or "Help" option, which usually provides information about the program, its creators, the development process, version, serial number, and so on.
So, here's an "About..." of my page! 😄
First of all, I must declare the following...
I use Adobe Photoshop with several good plugins, and I guarantee that besides Photoshop, the Adobe suite is the most comprehensive and the best for images intended for use on the web, especially the package that runs on MAC computers.
And despite many opinions, aware that I'll be stoned on the internet for this 8ˆ), I'll even spell out the program I use to create HTML pages:
T-E-X-T E-D-I-T or N-O-T-E-P-A-D
There's no point in sending complaints or calling me a fool for keep using these "archaic" tools. And guess what... if it's on UNIX, the system that has the best foundation for Web/FTP servers on the internet, I use Vi or PICO. Did you like it, lovers of poorly made page generators? 8)
Only after getting to know ColdFusion did I realize that someone else thought like me and developed a language easily integrated with normal HTML codes... excellent for those who see a page through the code.
I used for years ColdFusion Studio as the HTML as the HTML editing tool at work, and when it's not available, the good and old NOTEPAD on Windows and TextEdit on MacOS.
Another great thing was/is that ColdFusion looks and works the same on Windows, SUN, and Linux.
ColdFusion was then replaced by PHP and Python. The first as follow some of the same loved principles of ColdFusion in terms of page structured with the well flexible way to mix PHP, DHTML and JS on same file.
A webpage must have its concept aligned with the background color. Besides, a black background is less tiring for your monitor and speeds up the display. On the other hand, a white background is always soft and basic, etc...
"Background images are cute..." Nooo !! ... they should be used with extreme caution.
Also Frames should be used correctly ONLY to keep objects consistent across multiple pages, such as menus, etc.
After all, frames were created to reduce the need for reloading image objects, Java, etc.
I prefer to use DIVs and Tables most of the time, and when using frames, I rely on JavaScript to update them accordingly.
As an example, observe that the images with the orange-fire texture used below, in the lower corner and beside, were distributed among frames to be correctly positioned, and in some areas, they are replaced by the white background instead of using white images.
See how easy it was to understand how I created these pages?
