I am trying to creat a website for my company. I am trying to make it an auto height adjusting website. How do I do that in CorelDraw 12? Also, what is the optimum pixel size that I should set to the page? Right now I have it at 1140 pixels x 900 pixels.
Thanks.
I'm with Hunter. It's a specialist's job.
If you are determined to DIY then use a content management system like Wordpress. (But even that is way complex)
Some topics that should be covered: - graphic design theory (for imagery) - graphic design composition (for imagery) - iconography - typography for the web - HTML, CSS, Javascript - progressive enhancement & graceful degradation - color theory - shapes, forms, balance, harmony (visual grammar) - usability - accessibility - website performance - other media (video, audio, podcasts) - social media - basics of a programming language - basics of marketing - basics of writing for the web
Web Design
C'mon, guys, the topic is 3 years old. Hopefully the OP has his site up and running by now, ya know?
If anyone has more recent questions regarding using CD to build (pieces for) sites, I'm sure we can answer them. We were all new to this stuff once.
Ha ha, I did not notice the date.
Hi Tim,
I agree with the advise everyone here is telling you. Draw is a great graphic creation program and a bad choice for making a web site. I use Draw for creating assets for a web sites almost daily and for years, second to none for that.
That being said I will try to answer your question. If I were using Draw to make a basic web site I would set the content area to a fixed 1000pixels wide and center it. Everything outside the content area is background and should fill any size screen. How long the "1000pixel centered content area" depends on how much you put in there. I would keep the home page to fit "most screens" without scrolling.
In this day and age your web site should be as advanced and professional as your business, it is a first impression to the world.
Hope this helps,
Yes, it's outdated question though, but like others says, there is no such auto-resize thing in it, but they can always set parameters.
Hi,
kenthudson said:there is no such auto-resize thing
Using css you can make an "auto re-size from large desktop screen right down to a smartphone screen on the same web site thus eliminate the need to have an "app" which is a watered down web site in most cases. I am seeing some sell "fake apps" that being a watered down look alike auto re-sized site on a sub domain and call it an app. A small code snipet redirects the smart phone to the sub domain.
I have many sites that auto size and some even have fixed length. Although I do not recommend it unless it's a necessary design requirement you can lock the length via css control on that div.
Suggestion: visit this http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Overview.en.html at this site you can read as deep as you want to go. With software never say never.

Totally agreed with you.
CorelDraw is great in creating graphics for the web, but for an editor look for Drupal its a content management system. This means that you can install templates and you can edit your website using a browser. Drupal is free, you can ask your web hosting provider to install it in your server.
Oh, well this has certainly taught me to read the 'posting dates'
I was happily reading through as when I read the first post I thought .... ' really, .. creating a website in Coreldraw ?!?! ' ..... and wanted to see what everyone else thought about that when I saw the post about the original post being 3 years old
I will look at the dates in the future - still interesting reading though
hahaha - and just seen the post that commented on it being 3 years old was from July 2012
Certainly an old post. However, the whole idea about forums is that one can search and find information easily that is archived. So many questions and answers.
Please tell me how to find a good web designer?
