Website Design by...

The design of this site, and the tools I use.




This site was designed in December 2010, by me, Chris Granger, so if there are any mistakes in it's design, it's probably my fault !

If you have any questions or suggestions, additional material you would like added to the site, again - just get in touch with me .

If you spot any errors - PLEASE let me know immediately.


For those with a technical interest:

The site is intended to be designed as far as possible in CSS, and XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

I used Dreamweaver 8, which is getting a bit out of date now - the current version is now up to CS5, which is a bit pricey, but it's a very clever program.

Images are prepared using Paintshop Pro v6.00 (by JASC, who sold out to Corel. I also use Corel Paintshop Pro X2) when I need something a bit more exotic, like alpha transparency on a drop-shadow over variable background colour.

The stylesheets were written using dreamweaver, but I find it helpful sometimes to find new style elements using Topstyle Lite v 3.10.

To ftp files to the server, I used to use the free version of Filezilla v2.2.16 (now unavailable, since the launch of v3), but now I use Dreamweaver, which is faster, anyway.

Anything else you'd like to know - just drop me a line, and I'll try to give you an answer.







 

The Designer



Chris Granger

Hi - I'm Chris Granger, and when I get a chance, I like to be creating good music or good web design. That's when I'm not helping my wife run our two internet businesses, that is.

I love the Dances, and especially enjoy playing guitar for the dances, when I get a chance.
