Does this seem expensive? how much would u charge?

[niv]

for the slipshot job he does for his clients, i would charge £1 at most ;)

[el crapo]

Yeah, I wouldn't go with them. Their sites don't look very good/professional at all. If you're gonna spend £350, go buy DreamWeaver and make your own site. ;)

Are you saying that people actually pay for DreaWeaver?

Christmas present? Why did you want that?
Personnaly I don't like DreamWeaver, I use raw html.

Well I tried the Demo and I liked it because it was a lot easier to make tables for me, I sucked at it so badly. And tables is almost essential for good webdesign. Now I use it to design the layout or template of the site, and then I use Good Ol' Notepad to edit it.

GNU Emacs beats all of those ;)

[timdawg]

is it possible to use php as an alternative to frames???

[Ted S]

php isnt a design markup code, its a programing language... php can embed standard html (tables, frames, etc...) but it does nothign to make up for them.

php is used to make more complex and dynamic pages, cal databases in and much more...
