Dimensions for a webpage?

HPDarkness · Post by **HPDarkness** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 5:06 pm

So anyways, I'm visiting a college on Saturday. For my portfolio I made a nice tri-fold case with a disc. On the disc I want to have a kind of offline webpage for my portfolio, that way it's presented without having to scavenge through files, and they don't have to be on the internet.

I'm using Dreamweaver, and this is just a portfolio site with images, nothing too fancy. I have a lot of experience in Dreamweaver, i jsut want to know your opinions.

What are good dimensions to present a webpage at. I was thinking maybe 720x480? But is that too small/too large?

Why not just make offline HTML files? You can put all the files and pages in a folder on the CD and have the links reference the files inside the folders? Just have the main file in the CD, other ones inside folders, when they open it it'll pop-up in whatever their default browser is, and go through the CD to find any images/links.

As far as the size, that seems a bit short. I would keep the width about the same, and make it a small amount larger, something around 550.

That's just my personal preference.

I said I was making an offline webpage >_>.

but anyways thanks for the input, I guess I'll go with 550. it sounds good.

You can make an offline webpage with HTML files.

But he could make the website offline, using .HTML files, couldn't he?

Oh gawd you guys are confusing me. I am using html files, and I am making it an offline page. That was in my first post, and I even said it a second time. Oh well at least one person understood me, and the site is coming out good so far.

sorry, didn't realise what dreamweaver was, it didnt sound like something that made html files, more like some kind of alternate offline-website thing.

My apologies for my ignorance.

Just to clarify, Dreamweaver is one of the best editors for all types of coding. HTML, CSS, even Halo plugins.

I was just being a sarcastic ass and no one noticed. But yeah, your original plan sounds fine. If you need help with a template or something, I MIGHT be able to help.

I personally wouldn't say that, its great in terms of WYSIWYG designing and also for XML based coding, and I used to even agree it was one of the best for PHP etc... Now I use Zend Studio for Eclipse, check it out as it has some really nice features such as auto formatting, just to neaten up code now and then.

I was just giving a few examples. It's especially great for XML, though.

Yup. I can edit ENT, DTA, cs, and XML plugins.
