newbie experience and questions



User: Guest 10 years ago
I never made a website before and waited to use easy web for my first one. If you want this software to work as good as apple software you need to make things much more intuitive:

1.What is the header and footer for?
2.How can I make my Website Logo and navigation bar appear at the same location automatically? (At the moment they jump around from page to page. And need to adjust page by page)
3.How can I get the stuff in my website appear in the middle? I used centred layout already but it is still not centred properly.
4.I can never tell if an option in the inspector is greyed out or not. Or sometimes a useless option can be changed even though it makes no difference. Bug?
5.What is the Tumb Scale?
6.Why is helvetica new ultra light not working? (font)
7.Why are the picture dimensions different when I publish the site? Is that a Bug or my mistake? It should look just the same online as it does in my preview.
8. Line spacing increases during publishing. http://fine-design.co.uk/index.html
9.Textboxes sometimes disappear.

These are just a few things that you could make more self explanatory and PLEASE EXPLAIN THEM TO ME too.

Regarding your first two points, I agree it would be nice if you could design your header the first time, and it's there by default on every new page you create. Phillip, there's a bit of an explanation about how to get things into the Header just below this topic. But it's requires duplicating and getting it all right the first time. Me, I'm still designing my pages and tweaking the header, which means having to make changes to each page individually. In a word doc, the header and footer are uniform throughout as part of the design. Enter the info once, you're done.

Someone else can address your other points. Welcome newb!

1.What is the header and footer for?


It is for putting shapes or objects in that will push the content down as the content is dragged down. You can place objects in there by holding down the command key on your keyboard and dragging them in there OR you can set the object to "Allow free dragging" under Inspector->metrics (third tab)

2.How can I make my Website Logo and navigation bar appear at the same location automatically? (At the moment they jump around from page to page. And need to adjust page by page)

For now, you'll have to specify the X/Y coords in the Inspector->metrics (third tab) to match for all pages.

3.How can I get the stuff in my website appear in the middle? I used centred layout already but it is still not centred properly.

I don't know what you mean here. You want a shape on your website in the middle of your page? You can just drag it to the middle of the page.

4.I can never tell if an option in the inspector is greyed out or not. Or sometimes a useless option can be changed even though it makes no difference. Bug?

Can you give some examples with some screenshots?

5.What is the Tumb Scale?

Ignore those options as they are just there for the beta version.

6.Why is helvetica new ultra light not working? (font)

It won't work within EasyWeb. We are working on it.

7.Why are the picture dimensions different when I publish the site? Is that a Bug or my mistake? It should look just the same online as it does in my preview.

They shouldn't be. I would need to see before/after screenshot comparisons.

8. Line spacing increases during publishing. http://fine-design.co.uk/index.html

I would need to see before/after screenshot comparisons.

9.Textboxes sometimes disappear.

Here to I would probably have to see a video recording.

You can record your screen using Quicktime which is in your Applications folder. Open Quicktime and select 'New Screen Recording' from the File menu.

Once you are done, your recording will be on your desktop. Please send that .mov file to me.

Click the item you want to center. Then use the Arrange menu -> Align Objects - Center. I have to admit though, alignment guides for the first object I put on a page would be very neat too ;) So far they appear once an object is on the page to help you align objects. But there's none to align an object to the center of the page. We have to use the menu command for now.
