Help With Graphic Design/Web customer?

I have a customer that is also a friend that is switching web designers, as i don’t have much time for his constant changes. He has a new designer that wants me to convert my flash website i built for him into HTML because his new designer doesn’t have flash.

Oh dear, that’s a toughie. Sounds like situations I’ve been in – I am also a designer with “friends” that like to do this to me.

Tell him that because of what he intends to do, this is a NEW site. It isn’t a simple conversion.

I’d give him choices:
“I can give you the graphics (jpegs, vector stuff) and your new designer can create the html pages.”

“You can find a designer who has/knows flash and I will give you my flash files.”

“It will take me XX hours to create a whole new html-based website for you, and I will have to charge you XX. Then you can pay someone else to maintain it.”

As designers, we have to let go of our products. I know you created it but don’t let that be the reason you are hanging on. Keep the flash site for your portfolio and move on.

What kind of designer doesn’t have Flash? He’s going cheapy on you, isn’t he?

How can i do animations in html?

we have discussed about html, creating a web page, hyperlinks, tables and backgrounds. How about creating animations? Still using notepad in html?

Use javascript, and pick some javascript library like uize or extjs

Advertising copy?

Just what is advertising copy?
What does a copy writer actually do?

Copy writers are the folks who come up with the verbiage in the ads we see everywhere….in the newspaper for example. They have to write how wonderful their brand of toothpaste is.
They get paid well, but have to always be thinking about writing the next batch of BS.

To be a good web designer is it also necessary to be a good graphics designer?

I know there are lots of other things that comprise a good web page besides graphics.
Good coding practices, good copywriting, SEO, optimized usability and so on.
But I`m wondering whether a lack of graphic art ability is a severe handicap to a career in web design.
I should add that I`m already pretty proficient with CSS and XHTML. Even know a bit of Javascript and PHP.

Well, there’s web design, and there’s web development. Those are very different (if related) occupations.

Web designers are obviously concerned about design. It’s in the job title. They’re the folks who spend a lot of effort on the visual appeal of the web site, and what they do is important.

However, there’s a whole lot more to the web world than the design aspects. Most modern web sites aren’t just documents anymore. They’re dynamic programs which respond to the user, aggregate data from a database, and build a page on the fly, applying a visual style to that page.

The designer is usually involved in the last stage of the process. The person who analyzes the problems, the person who builds the database, the person who writes the back-end code, and many others are involved in the development of a web site, and most of those folks don’t have to have a lot of design background.

If you’re trying to create a web firm on your own, it’s good to have a mix of design and the technical aspects. However, if you only have one side, maybe the technical aspects are more convenient. It’s a lot cheaper to hire a designer than it is to hire a database expert or computer programmer.
