I am going to be a senior in college and I am now just focusing on webdesign. I'm really nervous about going into the real world and getting a real job.I have a few questions about people who work for webdesign clients.
I realize web companies want you be able to code in html and css. Do they expect you to have total mastery of both the codes. This is how I currently design a website.
I design the banner in photoshop. Bring it into fireworks to make the drop down Menu and then import it into dreamweaver.
2. My teacher told me to design the whole website and photoshop and use the slice by guides tool. I use a different method because I feel like slicing it takes away some of your freedom. I usually design the website bit by bit and import the photoshop content as a jpeg attach a cssheet to it and move it around with commands like top 300 pixels. Does it matter which method I use?
So What I'm asking is can most webdesigners code a website from scratch without the help from dreamweaver.
My next questions involve Content Management Systems(CMS); I realze this is more web developement, but CMS really interest me.
1. If i am looking to get a job in webdesign what cms would be best to learn Joomla, Drupal, or Word Press.
2. Upon further research I found out you can design in photoshop bring it into dreamweaver take the code and then bring it into WP. But how can WP take into account the comments sections and stuff that you did not design in photoshop.
