Using Illustrator to make web pages

I’ve created many web banners and buttons with Adobe Illustrator, but this week was the first time I’ve used the program to create a complete web page.

The client provides self-contained accommodation in Bright. Clearly there was no need for a content management system and most standard templates are too dull to consider.

Using Illustrator we worked together to adjust fonts, pictures and colors to the client’s taste. Once complete, it’s a simple option to "save for web". The program creates an HTML page and images of all space, text, photos and artwork.

The only HTML editing I had to do was the background color, links, title and meta tags.

Illustrator probably isn’t ideal for dynamic sites, but in the tourism industry for a static brochure page it’s a good option.
