Anyone know where I can get some good resources, websites, books for a novice designing a web page.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, but if you want some HTML stuff, one of my favorite places to go is here: http://www.pdcdesign.com/harvillo/

Good Luck http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Yes it is!

Photoimpact 5 is pretty good, especially for free! (after rebates)
It has a cool JPEG/GIF/PNG optimizer for the
web images.
I use PAintshop Pro 5 and Photoshop 5, and I like to use Photoimpact for reducing the file size on images for web publishing.

There are also other cool things!!!

And for free: you have nothing to lose.

Cygnus, I was wondering if that image optimizer of Photoimpact's is any better than Photoshop's "Save for Web". I use it a lot and if Photoimpact's optimizer performs better, I'm switching over!... so let me know if you think it is.

It sure isn't! You have more precise control over optimizing for the web with Photoshop 6. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

If you don't have Photoshop 6, then
PhotoImpact 5 is very cool to use.

Me, I don't have Photoshop 6 ;(

PhotoImpact 5 gives you a cool preview of the original image and the compressed image as you are optimizing. And there are plenty of options to choose from http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
And if it's for free (after discounts and rebates) you have nothing to lose!

Yeah, I would have to agree with Cygnus-X1. You can't beat the price of PhotoImpact 5! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

You can also optimize gifs on line http://www.pagetutor.com/pagetutor/makapage/lesson15.html#gifoptimizer
the ULead program I have has a good optimizer too.

I would suggest Dreamweaver and Fireworks for web design if you can afford them. Check out www.macromedia.com. (http://www.macromedia.com.)

In all honesty, I find that Fireworks does a better job in optimizing images for the web than Photoshop 6 does, though Photoshop is a far more elegant program for general manipulation of images. I'm biased, however. I've spent a lot more time with Fireworks than with Photoshop 6. There might be a lot I'm missing.

Dreamweaver is probably the single favorite program I've ever used, especially after coding html by hand. It certainly doesn't hurt to know a little html, but don't waste your time. Pick up a copy of Dreamweaver and have some fun. You'll learn html along the way.

Personally, I like to use Photoshop and Image Ready to make all the graphics for the layout and do the actual layout using Adobe GoLive. GoLive is a wonderful program! I'm sure many of you know already who use Adobe GoLive. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif GoLive has all the functions you'll need to make a professional functioning and looking site. One of the great feature about it is that it has a HTML and Java Editor.
