Creating a Rollover Image in Dreamweaver
In Dreamweaver, Rollover images — as the name implies — are designed to react when someone rolls a cursor over an image. The effect can be as dramatic as a picture of a dog being replaced by a picture of a lion, or as subtle as the color of a word changing as one image replaces another. Either way, Dreamweaver includes a special dialog box for rollovers that makes creating a simple rollover effect one of the easiest behaviors to apply.

To create a rollover image by using Dreamweaver's Insert Image Rollover dialog box, follow these steps:
1. Click to place your cursor on the page where you want the rollover to appear.
Rollover effects require at least two images: one for the initial state and one for the rollover state. You can use two different images or two similar ones, but they both should have the same dimensions. Otherwise, you get some strange scaling effects because both images must be displayed in exactly the same space on the page.

2. Choose Insert --> Image Objects --> Rollover Image.
The Insert Rollover Image dialog box appears.

3. In the Image Name box, name your image.
Before you can apply a behavior to an element, such as an image, the element must have a name so that the behavior script can reference it. You can name elements anything you like as long as you don't use spaces or special characters.

4. In the Original Image box, specify the first image you want visible. Use the Browse button to locate and select the image.
If the images are not already in your site's root folder, Dreamweaver will copy them into your site when you create the rollover.

5. In the Rollover Image box, enter the image you want to become visible when visitors move their cursors over the first image.
Again, you can use the Browse button to locate and select the image.

6. Select the Preload Rollover Image check box to load all rollover images into the browser's cache when the page first loads.
If you don't choose to do this step, your visitors may experience a delay because the second image will not be downloaded until a mouse is rolled over the original image.

7. In the When Clicked, Go to URL box, enter any Web address or browse to locate another page in your site that you want to link to.
If you don't specify a URL, Dreamweaver automatically inserts the # sign as a placeholder.

8. Click OK.
The images are automatically set up as a rollover.

9. Click the globe icon at the top of the workspace to preview your work in a browser and test how the rollover works.

Create a Mouseover Effect
A "mouseover" effect occurs when a user moves the mouse pointer onto an image. When the pointer rests on the image, it changes to something else. This is especially useful for navigation buttons. Dreamweaver 3.0 has mouseover commands ready for you to set up!

1. Start Dreamweaver and open the page the mouse-over effect will be located on.
  
2. Open the Insert menu and select Rollover Image. A dialog box will appear.

3. Type the name of the image to be rolled over in the first box. For example, you might call a Home Page button Home Rollover.

4. In the next box, type the location of the image that will appear on the page. Click Browse to choose an image from your hard disk.

5. In the Rollover Image box, type the location of the image that will be appear when the mouse hovers over the image. Click Browse to choose an image from your hard disk.

6. If the image is click able (linked), type the Web address in the next box. Click OK.

7. Save the page when finished.

8. Test the mouse-over by choosing Preview in Browser from the File menu. Hover your mouse over the image to see the new image take its place.

Implementing Site Navigation

Website navigation is important to the success of your website visitor’s experience to your website. The website’s navigation system is like a road map to all the different areas and information contained within the website.

Using a consistent navigation scheme from page to page helps the website visitor learn your website navigation system.

Types of Website Navigation
There are different types of website navigation:
  • Hierarchical website navigation
The structure of the website navigation is built from general to specific. This provides a clear, simple path to all the web pages from anywhere on the website.

  • Global website navigation
Global website navigation shows the top level sections/pages of the website. It is available on each page and lists the main content sections/pages of the website.

  • Local website navigation
Local navigation would the links with the text of your web pages, linking to other pages within the website.

Styles of Website Navigation
Styles of website navigation refers to how the navigation system is presented.
  • Text Links
Text links are words (text) which are surrounded by the anchor set of tags to create clickable text which takes the visitor to another web page within your website, a downloadable document from your website, or to another website on the Internet.

  • Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumb navigation shows the website visitor the path within your website to the page they are currently on.

  • Navigation Bar
A navigation bar is the collection of website navigation links all grouped together. A navigation bar can be horizontal or vertical.

  • Tab Navigation
Tab navigation is where the website navigations links appear as tabs, similar to the tabs you use in a binder to divide the contents into sections.

  • Sitemap
A sitemap is a page within your website that lists all the sections and web pages (if you don’t have too many) that are contained within the website. This is different from Google Sitemaps and Yahoo Sitemaps.
A traditional sitemap provides navigation for your website visitors should they get lost, a shorter path to the different areas of the website for those who know what exactly they are looking for and a means for the search engines to find all the pages within your website.

  • Dropdown Menu
A drop down menu is a style of website navigation where when the visitor places their mouse over a menu item, another menu is exposed. A drop down menu can include a flyout menu (see next item).
A drop down menu system can create accessibility issues and a problem as far as the search engines not being able to read the links in the menu, but if constructed properly, these issues can be overcome.

  • Flyout Menu
A flyout menu is constructed similar to the dropdown menu. When the visitor places their mouse over a link, another menu “flys out”, usually to the right, from the link where the mouse is placed.
Flyout menus face the same challenges as dropdown menus but if constructed properly, they can be accessible and readable by the search engines.

  • Named Anchors
Named anchors are the type of links that take you directly to a spot on the current page or on another web page.

Website Navigation Use
To be effective, the website navigation system needs:
  • To be consistent throughout the website.
The website visitors will learn, through repetition, how to get around the website.

  • The main navigation links kept together.
This makes it easier for the visitor to get to the main areas of the website.

  • Reduced clutter by grouping links into sections.
If the list of website navigation links are grouped into sections and each section has only 5-7 links, this will make it easier to read the navigation scheme.

  • Minimal clicking to get to where the visitor wants to get to.
If the number of clicks to the web page the visitor wishes to visit is minimal, this leads to a better experience.

    Some visitors can become confused or impatient when clicking a bunch of links to get to where they want to be. In large websites, this can be difficult to reduce. Using breadcrumbs is one way to help the visitor see where they are within the website and the path back up the navigation path they took.

Creating the website navigation system at the planning stage of the website will effect the overall design of the web page layout and help develop the overall plan for the website.

Creating Templates for Site Consistency and Ease of Maintenance

Web page design has become quite complicated due to the rapid advances in technology. Still, you can make your life much easier if you plan your web site in advance of building it.

1. Who is Your Audience?
Before you even begin to build a Website, consider your audience. Before you spend a lot of time and effort, it is necessary to do some do keyword research to see if your product or service is a viable solution.

2. Create a Storyboard
There is an old expression in programming which states: "The sooner you start to code the longer it takes to finish." With that in mind, the first step you should observe is to create a storyboard, essentially a flow chart that you build on paper. If you run into problems, they are much easier to fix here than during the process of building your Web site.

3. Visit Forums and Blogs
Another important research technique is to find out what users actually want. In this case, visit forums and blogs that cater to your interest and find out what users have to say on the subject.

4. Viewing Size
Viewing size is how the user will see your finished design. Unfortunately, this can vary widely depending on the size of the viewing area and whether the browser is maximized or not. According to some online research, a good starting point is to design your Web pages for a maximum viewing size of 776 x 424 pixels in order to reach 95% of visitors. If you decide to design for a larger viewing size, be aware that some users might have to scroll to see the entire page, which will detract from your overall design.

5. Consistency
A big problem with Website design is a lack of consistency. To fix the problem, consider using templates. In many cases, you will save yourself a lot of time and effort. One option to consider is to use Wordpress to build your sites. It offers many templates, both free and professional.

6. Use CSS
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are very important for maintaining consistency. Simply making a change to your CSS will immediately update the entire site (assuming that the CSS document is linked to all pages).

7. Keep it Simple
Too many Web designers are seduced by technology and wind up building unnecessarily complicated sites. In reality, simple is better. Your message will be clearer and more direct.

8. Image Slicing
Occasionally, a web designer will want to use an image that covers the entire page. The down side is that such an image is likely to be quite large and could take quite awhile to load. This poses a danger because if the image takes too long to load (roughly ten seconds), you run the risk of losing your audience. The solution is image slicing, which breaks the image into sections that load a bit at a time. This lets the user know that the image is in the process of loading and they are more likely to wait until the process is finished. Another option is to consider creating a web gallery. In this case, one page would show a number of thumbnails, which, when clicked upon would open another page which contains a larger image.

9. Use Stock Photography
Building a Web site is often a time intensive process, especially when it comes to creating images. One simple (and often inexpensive) solution is to use Stock Photography. Many options exist, such as rights-protected or royalty-free imagery.

10. Use Comps
A comp is a low-resolution image that you can download from many Stock Photography sites and use as part of your layout. With such an image you'll be able to see if your design "works," or not.

Ease of Maintenance
Just about the time you think it’s all finished, you get new ideas, new products or services – things change. There are lots of changes you’ll be wanting to do with your website as time marches forward. Sometimes you’ll want to add new content, remove old content or just make some changes to existing content on your website.

With content management system, making changes like these is as easy as using a word processor. Type your content and use the editing menu to add styles, color, hyperlinks, and so forth. Browse with your mouse to upload images to include in your articles. You can even include multimedia.

Think about what this means. You can log into your website's administration area, and add a new article or change an existing one. You can add a new product or change a description or price - all in less than five minutes!

Joomla won't just save you money, Joomla will save your organization TIME! And you know that unlike the old saying, "Time is money.", time is actually more valuable than money.

Being able to keep your website fresh and up-to-date will also mean that visitors to your site will have more trust in the information they find there and they'll be more likely to check back frequently, knowing that things are constantly being updated. That has to transfer into more customers and more profit.

Even big changes like adding new features, is as easy as finding the particular extension you want; downloading it, then installing it onto your website and configuring it to your tastes.  If that’s more work than you want to do, at least a web developer can do this for you in just a tiny fraction of the time it would take for him to create this new application.

Even having a custom feature programmed for you is a simple matter because of cms’s popularity and the number of web developers who are familiar with various content management systems, but chances are you’ll never need a custom feature because there are thousands of extensions readily available – most of them for free.

You can read reviews from others who have tried an extension and you can install it on your website with just a few mouse-clicks.  If you decide later that you don’t like that particular implementation, uninstalling is just as simple, so you can try another extension until you find the one you like.

Adding a new feature can take as little as five minutes and you can’t beat the cost – if you’re willing to DIY, and even if you hire someone to do it for you, it will cost just a fraction of what it would take to write a custom script.

Not only is adding extensions fast, easy and usually free with content management systems, but since these are programmed modularly, you don’t have to worry about a new extension causing a problem elsewhere in your application.  That’s a common problem with custom web applications.

When you want a new look for your website, installing a new design template is often as simple as installing an extension.  Many cms templates are free. Some of the more intricate designs may require some experience with html, css or Javascript to initially setup, but many will install with your current content automatically.

Web content management

A web content management system (WCMS) is a software system that provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages to create and manage website content with relative ease. A robust WCMS provides the foundation for collaboration, offering users the ability to manage documents and output for multiple author editing and participation.

Most systems use a content repository or a database to store page content, metadata, and other information assets that might be needed by the system.

A presentation layer displays the content to website visitors based on a set of templates. The templates are sometimes XSLT files.

Most systems use server side caching to improve performance. This works best when the WCMS is not changed often but visits happen regularly.

Administration is typically done through browser-based interfaces, but some systems require the use of a fat client.

A WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to a website with little training. A WCMS typically requires a systems administrator and/or a web developer to set up and add features, but it is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical staff.
Advantages
Low cost
Some content management systems are free, such as Drupal, TYPO3, Joomla, and WordPress. Others may be affordable based on size subscriptions.[7] Although subscriptions can be expensive, overall the cost of not having to hire full-time developers can lower the total costs. Plus software can be bought based on need for many CMSs.

Easy customization
A universal layout is created, making pages have a similar theme and design without much code. Many CMS tools use a drag and drop AJAX system for their design modes. It makes it easy for beginner users to create custom front-ends.

Easy to use
CMSs are designed with non-technical people in mind. Simplicity in design of the admin UI allows website content managers and other users to update content without much training in coding or technical aspects of system maintenance.

Workflow management
CMSs provide the facility to control how content is published, when it is published, and who publishes it. Some WCMSs allow administrators to set up rules for workflow management, guiding content managers through a series of steps required for each of their tasks.

Disadvantages
Cost of implementation
Larger scale implementations may require training, planning, and certifications. Certain CMSs may require hardware installations. Commitment to the software is required on bigger investments. Commitment to training, developing, and upkeep are all costs that will be incurred for enterprise systems.

Cost of maintenance
Maintaining CMSs may require license updates, upgrades, and hardware maintenance.

Latency issues
Larger CMSs can experience latency if hardware infrastructure is not up to date, if databases are not being utilized correctly, and if web cache files that have to be reloaded every time data is updated grow large. Load balancing issues may also impair caching files.

Tool mixing
Because the URLs of many CMSs are dynamically generated with internal parameters and reference information, they are often not stable enough for static pages and other web tools, particularly search engines, to rely on them.

Notable web CMS
Some notable examples of CMS:
  • WordPress is the most popular content management system. It originated as a blogging CMS, but later evolved into a fully-fledged CMS.
  • Joomla! is a popular content management system that can be used to easily create and edit webpages, but it is more complex than WordPress.
  • Drupal is the third top used CMS and originated before WordPress and Joomla. It is more difficult to learn and understand than the above two CMSs, but is the most secure. It powers the White House site.

Uploading Files to the Web

To upload your site to the Web successfully, you must make sure that you defined your Local Info and Remote Info before you did anything else in Dreamweaver. If you are working on a different computer and forgot to define your site, follow the steps on Getting Started page. You will have to create a new site and enter all the information in the Local Info and Remote Info tabs. If you are sure that you defined your Remote Info, but uploading is not working, go back and check your Remote Info. Go to Site > Manage Sites > Your Site Name. If the name of the site is not there, follow the steps on Getting Started page.

Uploading your files
To upload your files to the Web, complete this process:
1. Make sure your Files panel is open. If not, go to Window > Files.
2. Click the Connect button. This button connects Dreamweaver to your server space.
3. Make sure your toolbar displays Local View and your files can be seen in the panel. The Local View shows everything in the Files panel that is on the computer in your local root folder.
4. Select your local root folder and click on the Put button.

NOTE: If you make changes, be sure to upload your entire folder and replace the old version to keep all files linked properly.
1. In the toolbar, switch your view from Local to Remote View. You should now see your files under Remote as well. The Remote View shows you all of the files uploaded on your server space.
2. Check your site in a browser by typing in your Web site address. If you are using the BGSU personal web space your Web address is: http://personal.bgsu. edu/~(your username).
