Asking a few questions is one thing, but trying to learn everything about web design in one thread just isn't going to happen. SEO is complicated, helping you create faster loading pages requires seeing your website and apparently you are too paranoid to give us a link.
You don't need to throw away Frontpage, I'm sick of hearing this because it's wrong and just an opinion. You can use it just fine. Just like most other wysiwyg programs (YES EVEN THE ALMIGHTY DREAMWEAVER!!!) you have to just forget about the wysiwyg part and use the coding aspects. I think FP is great for file management and simple to use and has some great search and replace features that will perform the action on a few files or the entire site. It's very usable.
If you have a friend that is a professional designer, you should make sure he's using the latest coding and design techniques before learning from him, but he could be your best teacher. |
personal preference but I use dreamweaver but don't rate it for beginners to
html or
CSS or any language for that matter.. it does lead to bad practices. For a
WYSIWYG editor Dreamweaver isn't very
HTML compliant and by that I mean pages wrote using DW's designer view will not pass
HTML validation in
W3C.
Better to use notepad as others have said so that you know the language then use DW later in any view. Dreamweaver is a great tool dont get me wrong.. no good for n00bies though!
Say a beginner designs a page in design view.. ask him to check his tags when he or she has a page error and thats it.. 50%+ wont have a clue what you mean. Just an oppinion from a learner.. well infact were all still learners... just some more accomplished than others.. but with things always improving and changing.. were always learning
Now back to the original message / question..
As far as I'm aware through all my googling and forum visits to various other webmaster resources... there is no total and absolute way of hiding your source code. I wanted to do this also.. and went searching.. spent about a month reading post after post.. argument after argument... discussion after discussion and article after article and there is no precise or totally fool proof way of protecting your code. theres always some way around it. Dissable right click and some users using certain browsers can turn that off or us CTRL and other keys... theres view source... javascripts to paste into browsers to force source to be revealed.. theres tonnes of ways to protect your code and tonnes of ways around them. Dont just take it from me.. research it yourselves.
Nothing is safe from internet trolls!
