Fallace Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Has anyone on this forum done any web-designing with Paint.NET, and if so, can you show me some of your work? Any tutorials on web design for Paint.NET? I want to work on Wed Design, but I'm not sure where to begin or anything so I could use some help.

nemo Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thats my current job hehe. As far as images etc go thats self explanitory, template creating however can be somewhat tricky. First up, pick a 'theme' you want to go with, for instance autumn could be amber/soft brown colours with a leaf bottom right or something. Once you have made a base background you then want to cut out sections for banners / special offers etc dependant on the subject or the site. Persoanlly i created my template in a different software but used paint.NET for all my banners/picture editing for the products and 'special offer' signs. Then once you have done all this you 'just' need to align up the template background with your buttons etc that you create and uplaod the code . I personally use .html or .xhtml due to my host but i also have a converter to .swf so i can make snazzy banners from things i make in paint.NET . Basically, its not too hard, i suggest you draw out a design on paper first. That way you have everything placed where you want it..trust me this can save hours..i found out the hard way haha.

Fallace Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Thanks for the advice, I'm working on something right now. Anyone else have any advice or examples or anything? Quote My Gallery | Deviant Art Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I did a little bit of web designing when I was in high school. I'm not that advanced at it. I mainly used Adobe Dreamweaver to set up my site. I used Paint.NET to make my images for the site. I was voted the best web page in class and people wanted to know how I made all my images. I'll attach a pic of my school project website. It was just a working progress. The sidebar button glowed when you scroll over them!

DarkShock Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Not bad, thanks for sharing. You should show me a picture of the hover. Sadly, I can't. The files for the site have all been deleted. It was just a school project from a while ago. :wink: Quote ---- Gallery | Sig Tutorial | deviantART | Sig Videos | PhotoBucket ----DÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â EÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â SÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â TÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â IÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â NÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Damn you, DarkShock In our computer science class, we had to set up our websites from scratch, type everything by hand If I just had known of DreamWeaver then..

DarkShock Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Damn you, DarkShock In our computer science class, we had to set up our websites from scratch, type everything by hand If I just had known of DreamWeaver then.. I started out from scratch when I was in Web Design 1, but a couple weeks into the class I tried out Dreamweaver and it was so much easier. I mean seriously, I just insert a picture and it DOES the code for me.

Fallace Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'll have to try it out sometime.... anyway just finished my first Web Design. I'll add it to my gallery soon probably, already on Deviant Art. Quote My Gallery | Deviant Art Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have a small sideline in web design aimed at small budgets (therefore simple websites). I use Paint.NET exclusively and hand code the sites using PSPad. I won't post the link as advertising is frowned upon, but if you click on my profile you'll see the link there. Check out the "Portfolio" page for an incomplete list of some of the sites I've created.

Fallace Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Not bad Ego, I'll refer to them later on when I think about designing another template. Quote My Gallery | Deviant Art Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
