Design Notes serve two different purposes. From a team perspective, they??™re invaluable for tracking a project??™s
progress and passing information among team members. However, Design Notes are also used by
Dreamweaver and other Adobe products, including Fireworks, to pass data between programs and program
commands. For example, Fireworks uses Design Notes to store the location of a Fireworks source file that is
displayed in the Image Property inspector when you select the exported graphic in Dreamweaver.
Keep in mind the dual nature of Design Notes. I strongly recommend??”whether you work with a large
team or you??™re a team of one??”that you keep Design Notes enabled and fully functioning.
Setting the status with Design Notes
What is the one thing a Web site project manager always wants to know? The status of every page under
development: What??™s still in the planning stages, what has been drafted, what has made it to beta, and
what??™s ready to go live? The manager who has an awareness of each page??™s status can prioritize appropriately
and add additional resources to the development of a page if necessary. Individual team members who are
working on a page should also know how far along that page is.
Design Notes put the Status category front and center for all files.
