1) Planning your Web site design
When you begin thinking about creating a Web site, 
you should follow a series of planning steps to make sure 
your site is successful. Even if you are just creating a 
personal home page that only friends and family will see, 
it can still be to your advantage to plan the site carefully 
in order to make sure everyone will be able to use it easily.

Creating goals for your site
Organizing the site structure
Creating your design look
Designing the navigation scheme
Planning and gathering your assets

2) DESIGNING PAGE LAYOUT

Creating goals for your site
Deciding what your site goals are should be the first step you take when creating a Web site. 
Ask yourself, or your client, about what you hope to accomplish by having a Web site. 
Write down your goals so that you remember them as you go through the design process. 
Goals help you focus and target your Web site to your particular needs.

A Web site that provides news about a specific subject should have a different look and navigation 
than a Web site that sells products. The complexity of your goals will affect the navigation, 
the media that you use (Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Director, and so on), and even the look 
and feel of your site.

3) Organizing the site structure

Organizing your site carefully from the start can save you frustration and time later on. 
If you begin creating documents without thinking about where in your folder hierarchy they should go, 
you may end up with a huge, unwieldy folder full of files, or with related files scattered through a 
half-dozen similarly named folders.

The usual way to set up a site is to create a folder on your local hard disk that contains all the 
files for your site (referred to as the local site), and to create and edit documents within that folder. 
You then copy those files to a Web server when you are ready to publish your site and allow the public 
to view it. This approach is better than creating and editing files on the live public Web site itself, 
because it allows you to test changes in the local site before making them publicly viewable. When you're 
finished, you can upload the local site files and update the entire public site at once.

Break down your site into categories and put related pages in the same folder. For example, your company 
press releases, contact information, and job postings might all go in one folder, but your online catalog 
pages might go in a different folder. Use subfolders where necessary. This type of organization will make 
your site easier to maintain and navigate.

Decide where to put items such as images and sound files. For example, it's convenient to place all your 
images in one location, so that when you want to insert an image into a page, you know where to find it. 
Designers sometimes place all of the non-HTML items to be used on a site in a folder called Assets. 
This folder may contain other folders�for example, an Images folder, a Macromedia Shockwave folder, 
and a Sound folder. Or you might have a separate Assets folder for each group of related pages on 
your site, if there aren't many assets shared among such groups.

4) Creating your design look

You can save a lot of time later if you plan your design and layout before you begin working in Dreamweaver. 
You can simply create a mock-up drawing on paper of how you want the site layout to look and then follow it 
as you build your site; or you can create a composite drawing of your site using software such as 
Macromedia FreeHand or Macromedia Fireworks.

Maintaining consistency in your page layout and design helps to ensure a good user experience. 
The user should be able to click through the pages in your site without getting confused. If all the pages 
have a different look, or the navigation is in a different place on each page, it might frustrate the user. 
Make sure your site provides a consistent look for your user.

Use the same structure for local and remote sites. Your local site and your remote Web site should have exactly 
the same structure. If you create a local site using Macromedia Dreamweaver and then upload everything to the 
remote site, Dreamweaver ensures that the local structure is precisely duplicated in the remote site.

5) Designing the navigation scheme
As you design your site, think about the experience you want your visitors to have. Think about how a visitor 
to your site will be able to move from one area to another. Navigation should be consistent throughout your site. 
If you place a navigation bar across the top of your home page, try to keep it there for all the linked pages. 
Consider the following points:

>Visitors should know where they are in your site and how to return to your top-level page.
>Search features and indexes make it easier for visitors to find information they are looking for.
>Feedback features provide a way for visitors to contact the Webmaster (if appropriate) if something is 
wrong with the site, and to contact other relevant people associated with the company or the site.

6) Planning and gathering your assets

Once you know what your design and layout will look like, you can create and gather the assets that you will need. 
Assets can be items such as images, text, or media (Flash, Shockwave, and so on). Make sure you have all of these 
items gathered and ready to go before you begin developing your site. Otherwise, you'll have to continually stop 
development to find an image or to create a button.

If you are using images and graphics from a clip-art site or someone else is creating them, make sure you collect 
them and put them in a folder on your site. If you are creating the assets yourself, make sure you create them all 
before you start development, including any images you need if you are using roll-overs. Then organize your assets 
so you can access them easily while creating your site in Dreamweaver.

You can reuse page layouts and page elements in various documents by using templates and libraries in Dreamweaver. 
However, it is easier to create new pages with templates and libraries than it is to apply them to existing documents.

Use templates if many of your pages will use the same layout. Plan and design a template for that layout, and then you 
can create new pages based on that template. If you decide to change the layout for all the pages, you can simply 
change the template. For more information on templates, see Chapter 16 of Using Dreamweaver 4, or Dreamweaver Help 
(Help > Using Dreamweaver).

Note: There are certain restrictions on what changes you can make to documents that are based on templates. 
Templates are best used in collaborative environments, to ensure that everyone is using the same page layout. 
Library items may provide more flexibility for use outside of collaborative environments.

Use library items if you know that a certain image or other content will appear on many pages throughout your site; 
design that content ahead of time and make it a library item. Then if you change that item later, the updated 
version appears on all pages that use it. For more information on library items, see Chapter 16 of Using 
Dreamweaver 4, or Dreamweaver Help (Help > Using Dreamweaver).

Istana Budaya Negara

Istana Budaya

The Istana Budaya or The Palace of Culture, founded in September 1999, isMalaysia's main venue for all types of theatre including musical theater, operetta,classical concert and opera from local and international performances. It is located next to the National Art Gallery in Jalan Tun Razak at the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

History

Istana Budaya side-view

The idea of this state-of-the-art theater began with the proposal in 1964 to establish a cultural centre. The construction work began in 1995 and was completed three years later. It was built at a cost of RM210 million with theater's floor area of 21,000 m² as part of the 54,400 m² cultural complex. The Istana Budaya was officially opened by the former Prime Minister ofMalaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed in 1999.

The Istana Budaya theater hall "Panggung Sari" with unique design of royal boxes inspired by the window ofMalay traditional house, can accommodate up to 1,412 audiences at one time. The building is the first theater in Asia that is equipped with state-of-the-art stage equipment. Istana Budaya is also rated among the ten most sophisticated theaters in the world, and on par with the Royal Albert Hall in London.^[1]

Upon completion, the former national theater, Panggung Negara was relocated to this new building. Istana Budaya is also the residence of the National Theater Company and the National Symphony Orchestra.

Objective

Istana Budaya is aimed to raise the standard of the performing arts, to develop artistic excellence in theater, to popularize high quality theater productions, and to develop a higher sense of artistic appreciation.

Architecture

The building was designed by the local architect, Muhammad Kamar Ya'akub. The inspiration for the design is based on a traditional moon kite in flight.^[2] The turquoise folds on the roof and the intricate design of the foyer are just two of the interesting features of the building. Istana Budaya’s architecture has intrigued experts and academics.

The main building takes the shape of the 'sirih junjung', a traditional arrangement or a present made of betel leaves used during Malay weddings and welcoming ceremonies. As in a traditional Malay house, the building is divided into three areas:

• The "serambi" (lobby and foyer)
• The "rumah ibu" (main house) as the auditorium
• The "rumah dapur" (kitchen) as the stage and rehearsal hall.

The interior was constructed using local resources such as Langkawi’s marble and high-quality tropical wood for the doors crafted by hand to shape flowers and leaf motifs. The verdant carpets in the entrance hall and lobby feature cempaka flower and the beringin tree, inspired by Malaysia’s traditional opera, Mak Yong. ^[3]

In the auditorium, there are royal boxes on each side, patterned after the windows of a Malay house. The entrance to the theatre, too, replicates a palace’s main hall, or the Balairong Seri and is said to be modelled after one in Malacca.

The theatre lobby on the third floor extends the influence of Malay culture, taking the shape of the rebana ubi or traditional drum. The auditorium itself seats about 1,412 people, including 797 in the stalls on the first floor, 312 in the grand circle on the second floor and 303 people in the upper circle. The orchestra pit, when it is not in use, can take in 98 people.

While there seems to be a large number of stairs, the disabled can take heart. Istana Budaya has wheelchair facilities, including a ramp into the foyer, a lift with easy-to-reach buttons and an area designated for the handicapped. Restrooms for the disabled are also found at both the stalls and grand circle areas. Additionally, there is also a costume gallery featuring clothes from Malay traditional theatre. The costumes are from Bangsawan, Mak Yong, Ajat Bebunuh, Layang Emas and Bambarayon performances, among others.

Performances

Until today, although not often, the Istana Budaya has staged notable productions of such operas as The Merry Widow, Tosca, La bohème,Turandot, Carmen and many more accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra and Choir.

Among the more successful local productions staged here was Puteri Gunung Ledang - The Musical, which opened to full house on almost all nights.

Dato' Siti Nurhaliza or well known as Malaysian's songbird was also having her concert here in 3 consecutive days and it was full house.
