If you??™re designing on a Macintosh,
try to view your pages on a Windows system, and vice versa. Watch out for some not-so-subtle differences
between the two environments in terms of color rendering (colors in Macs tend to be brighter than in PCs)
and screen resolution.
Putting Your Pages Online
The final phase of setting up your Dreamweaver site is publishing your pages to the Web. When you begin,
this publishing process is up to you. Some Web designers wait until everything is absolutely perfect on the
local development site and then upload everything at once. Others like to establish an early connection to
the remote site and extend the transfer of files over a longer period of time.
I fall into the latter camp. When I start transferring files at the beginning of the process, I find that I catch
my mistakes earlier and avoid having to effect massive changes to the site after everything is up. For example,
in developing one large site, I started out using mixed-case filenames, as in ELFhome.html. After
publishing some early drafts of a few Web pages, however, I discovered that the host had switched servers;
on the new server, filenames had to be entirely lowercase. Had I waited until the last moment to upload
everything, I would have been faced with an unexpected and laborious search-and-replace job.
