Hi,

I've designed a website in dreamweaver using FTP on a temporary url until its completed. When its complete how do I move the whole website to the new domain using FTP to upload it?

Just upload the entire site, folders and all, to the new server. Make sure you're using RELATIVE links and not absolute for your pages and everything should work on the new server.

just FTP your site back to a local folder on your computer.

Basically do everything in reverse!

i dont know if you all ready know this but if you go into windows internet explorer 6 if you have 7 you must go to my computer to type this in. then type in
ftp://yourdomainname.com,.net or whatever it is. then enter in your username and password for your server.
note this ftp is not encripted.

I've figured it out. What do you think?

Argent Technology


Im just working on validating my markup etc, still some info and images to be added to some pages but you can see the general idea of the website.

Very Good !

Nice to see XHTML Strict, valid code and css !!
The design is nice too, great job !

I only have one comment - you shoudn't use PX for your font sizing. Users with IE 6 and below will not be able to re-size the text should they want to, so you're locking in those users. Better to use % or em for text sizing

Nice site - put together well.

Just some minor thingies that maybe most users wouldn't even notice...
1) The bottom of your page looks like it's using a separate image to round off the corners - it looks like you're 1 pixel off (like I said, minor). But it does create a black line that looks a bit out of place.
2) I would do the same rounding and maybe even a thin dark border at the top of the page much as you did with the bottom.
3) I might not mix and match font types between your headers and main content areas. This may be a personal preference thing though.

But I like it!
