Website design question!!!?

Question

I've been hired to make a website for my workplace since apparently I'm the only one that knows coding and dreamweaver and the whole CS thing. My boss got me some of the stuff out of CS4 including photoshop, dreamweaver and fireworks. Now I went through a basic class and the advanced class doesn't start for a couple of months yet but my boss wants a website up very soon. I could make a very good one and he'd probably like it but I also want to prove to myself that I'm good at it even though I'm not. So here's the question. If I want to add people to a mailing list would i just make a page that they would enter some of there information on and make a mailto link so it would send the info to me so I could send them newsletters or is there more involved that I have to do? I could probably waste the time to figure this out on my own but I'd much rather just get an answer quickly and do it right the first time.

Answer 1

I would just get a form up on the site so that they send you their information to your email. Use a free form creator like responders.com so that the stuff gets sent to an email then manually add it to a contact list for the mailing list. Whenever you send out your newsletter or whatever just send it to the list.



Or, create a mailto: link, if you want to look cheesy.

Answer 2

you probable will want somebody to replace the cyber web website for you. Or, you will possibly have the individuals you employed do all of the artwork and then have them tutor you the thank you to replace it. reckoning on a thank you to choose to replace it, you're able to have the guy you employed to it for you. you notice, cyber internet site layout is particularly very extensive. some cyber web designers pass nonetheless a LOTTTT of coding which may well be the toughest and longest way of starting to be a internet site, or they are able to apply a application like dreamweaver to make it. they are very puzzling courses to apply yet once you already know the thank you to apply them, USE THEM. yet once you do not, back; have them do it for you.

Answer 3

? A company would hire someone who doesn't know web design basics and put you through training with hopes that you will get it down. You think the basics are hard enough wait till you launch and oh yea there they are the bugs (browser bugs).



This whole question doesn't make sense its not a web design question, its web design question"s" which is much more then one question. I am no book nor do I have the time to help you. Go and research there is plenty material.

Answer 4

Considering the tools and knowledge you have, that seems like the best bet. Ideally it would be all automated, but you need far more education to be able to do that.
