Good afternoon Janine,

I am a new web designer and am practicing doing some web sites and trying to find a job in this new career. I live in Ontario, Canada and I am designing a photography site for my niece in High River, AB.

My question is: How can I show her some of the designs I create, say the homepage or how the navigation works?

She wanted the navigation as text, not buttons, which I finally figured out, using some CSS code from the Internet.

At the moment I do not have my own site, and I am looking into creating a portfolio, once I figure out how.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

Hi, Steve,

When I want to show a client how a site looks as I’m building it, I usually set up it in a temporary address at one of my domains. For example, I have a site at DigitalFamily.com. If I had a client who sold cars, I might set up a test site at DigitalFamily.com/cars so my client could go to that address to see how the site looks while I’m working on it.

Once I’m finished with the site, I would move it to their domain name and whatever server they prefer.

Hope that helps,
Janine
