designing a website...viewable in all resolutions??

hulkster:
okay, now i need a cool name for my "business"  ::)

i dont want it to be anything "hulkster" cuz if one of my coworkers sees it and wants me to do a website for them (for whatever reason) i want to have a cool name or logo to put at the bottom of my sites.  any suggestions?  i OBVIOUSLY dont do this full time or for a living, but if a coworker said they wanted a website, i could do something fairly decent i guess....but i want a cool name. 

hulkster:
okay, now i have another question.  if you look at the pics above, you see the big white block in the middle where the content will obviously go. 

well, my problem is that upon slicing everything in photoshop, that white block is actually a slice as well.  so....how do i put text in it now for updates?  like, in other sites that ive created before, i just made frames, so when you clicked on something it just changed the middle part.  id like to do that with this, but i cant like, create a frame on top of the white block image.   :banghead:

how do i go about updating the site?  i know i can use the text tool and make text blocks for everything, but that makes it difficult to edit, and id rather just make websites.  any suggestions?

zaphod:
Your center image is going to be carved up into four pieces: the top sliver, left, right, and bottom.  Slivers will be wide enough to get to the white section.  You'll have a table in the middle, text in the center, these four pieces surrounding it.  I've seen code out there to allow for scrolling text within that box.

Don't take this wrong, but I did have to laugh, Hulkster, at your comment about just wanting to make websites.  This is making websites. :)  There is a lot more to them than just slapping a pretty image on a page.  That's the battle I have to fight with website requests at work all the time.

hulkster:
i understand....ive made several websites in frontpage, and through html in the old days, but its been a while.  this is the first time ive made a site through photoshop so yes i understand theres more to it than just a real quick fix.


now, would it just be easier to create the text boxes like i said before that were on top of the image? 

boykster:
zaphod is going the route I would.....carve the center white box into essentially just "frames" for the box, then have a table or cell in middle.  Your current image is laid out using a table, so you just need to finagle a central cell where the box is now and add a new table, or heck even a <div>.  You can use CSS to make sure it's perfectly centered and matches up with the outer frame....

then in that div you can enter "push" content into there using the innerhtml property, or you can even put an iframe in there to dynamically load content pages....so many possibilities....
