OT: Your Company/DEMO Website

[r]Evolution wrote on 12/10/2007, 11:54 AM

I work for a Production Company but also Freelance sometimes.
The Production Company has a website w/Demo & so do I. Lots of other Production Companies I've worked for/with also have websites. Some are pathetic looking sites that don't look professional or 'clean' and would basically turn me away from asking them to Design anything for me. Others totally attract me because of their design, colors, and how they are displaying their Demo Videos and such.

I've seen other threads to show your Edit Bay & Work Space... now,

Show us your Website

I use Joomla, (www.joomla.org) I also hand code many of my sites using PHP MySQL
Also a lot of Dreamweaver and Fireworks.

I build sites for others and never get around to finishing my own. I only have website designs in my online portfolio at the moment. I will eventually post some flash video and some print stuff.

You can't get much simpler than NetObects Fusion, which is what I use for my wedding site.

Wow... it's cool to see how you all represent yourselves on the web.
Lots of variety and many cool ideas.

I guess it's also safe to say that most of you that offer Video Services use Vegas to edit & deliver those videos... yeah?

Personally, I use a combination of Vegas, Premiere, FCP, & Avid (amongst other plug-ins and apps) depending on what I'm trying to accomplish. I could probably do most all of it in a single app but sometimes it's quicker & easier to just go to the app that you know and knock it out.

Interestingly... Noone mentioned Microsoft ExpressionWeb.
I do NOT like ExpressionWeb - it does NOT have Flash support!
I think MS is trying to push its Silverlight technology with this one.

Although my business site http://www.planet9productions.net was built and is maintained via iWeb I have found this awesome website building app. WYSIWYG Web Builder. It is by far the simplest website creator/editor I've ever used. Dreamweaver seems to be the most versatile and to me, the most complicated.

Being a minimalist shop... I tend to have my hands on and in every aspect so I enjoy finding newer, quicker, easier ways of doing things.

4. Embedded video of almost any file format is allowed in articles/blogs. Process is simple use of meta tags in the article content to point to the video source. Can be on any server or streaming video site.

We are looking for members with a point of view on camcorders, editing/authoring software and digital video in general. So, if you want a platform, you can blog away.

I have used Coffee Cup to design 2 websites but I haven't started mine yet. Not sure what I want to do. I also have Web Easy Pro 6 but never really used it.

Sync,
Have you used Coffee Cup or seen it? Just wondering how it compares to WYSIWYG.

My site www.ezzenz.dk is made with sitespinner that I got recommended here on this forum some years back.

Sorry, but for now it's only in danish :(

================
I used it to create a website for an actress. Don't let the name web easy fool you. The program has some quirks, but does produce decent results. Web Host is moreweb.

Harold Brown - I have used some of the Coffee Cup products. They have tons of apps that make it easy for a guy like me (that does not know web design) to visually design and post a webpage. I also took a look at Web Easy Pro 7. It too looks like a pretty straight forward WYSIWYG editor.

One thing I'm weary of when it comes to the WYSIWYG editors is whether or not the code is 'legal/standard' and how it will look in various browsers. So far all of the pages generated by WYSIWYG Web Builder have checked out as 'legal/standard'. Looks like the others you've mentioned may have a few more options... like direct code editing, similar to Dreamweaver. Although WYSIWYG Web Builder lets you add certain lines to the HTML code via 'Widgets', it does not allow for true direct editing of HTML. I can see where this would be frustrating for those that like to hand code their sites.

I like the concept of Joomla. It appears that you are able to build your website using whatever look you like then assign another CSS to it and have totally different looks, colors, & vibes. Something like this would come in handy when dealing with indecisive clients.

Anyone know of any other WYSIWYG Editors that will allow you to simply assign a 'look' to your webpage?

I'm amazed to see how many people here (Video guys) are using Dreamweaver (and creating cool sites). They must have a broad knowledge base to be Video Editors & Web Designers. I wish I was at that level then maybe I could go Full Time at my own business and not have to work for others to make ends meet.

Web Easy 7 and Web Easy 6 are virtually identical. Take a look at the website I created with Web Easy Pro 6 (linked above). Open it in IE and then in Firefox. They look essentially the same. It is a DHTML website. You are able to build the website and preview it in any browser you choose using the drop down list in the menu.

Mainly been doing our video/music/mastering biz via word of mouth but the new site is up and should be completed by the end of this month. Two video rooms and utilize a well-known, local recording artist/engineer to head up the recording/music locale.

Dreamweaver used here (but always looking for a better tool). Basically using a simple FLV media player for music and video - nothing fancy. Only a temp video ad in place as of now due to some recent flooding issues holding things up a bit.

We'd love to hear what you think.

Harold Brown wrote on 12/28/2007, 7:34 PM

Thanks Sync and Craftech. The 2 sites I created with Coffee Cup are:
www.edellismagic.com
www.edan-productions.com

I started off with one of their templates. EDAN required me to use Photoshop. CC works pretty good but you cannot get animated gifs using it. It converts them to jpegs.

I have used some of the artwork from Web Easy as required so it isn't a total loss for me.

I just started using Stage6 and I really like it. I do have some problems with time outs though when I am logged in. I also have a video stuck in stage 3 publishing that has been there for at least a couple of hours. The more I use YouTube the less I like it but it does serve its purpose.
