We do have an indexed guide. Did you take a look at http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … lp-manual/

Sorry, I'm trying to work quickly here on a project, and I haven't really taken stock of what's there. Thanks for the detailed resources there. (It's still a bit procedural and example-y, but I'm sure everything I need will be there if I just go at this more patiently.)

I have to agree with everyone.... not enough "real world" information on getting something going. You can go thru all the tools all day but until there is an explanation on why a certain approach is used over another this software isn't going anywhere with me tagging along. Unfortunately I am "stuck" with this right now - ohh how I despise web design.
3D modeling & computer aided drafting is my expertise. I am only doing this because we are slow. If the help files were any good I would have finished this by now. I'm sure I could have paid someone less cash for the time I have spent on this myself. Designing a layout is no big deal but the "breakpoints" do not operate correctly & the "flow" does not exist.

Strange thing is I have designed and made more than a hundred sites now using RSD and never found a problem with "Breakpoints" not operating correctly, and the "flow" comes from oneself, It does take some little bit of time to sort of get the application and what it does, you just have to tell it to do what you want it to do and then trust it to do exactly what you told it to do.

Breakpoints do not hold everything together. Data is jumbled & lost when you go 1px past a breakpoint. And when adjusting the slider the layout design is broken & all efforts are lost. I have started over at least 5 times & have accomplished nothing but aggravation, frustration & dissatisfaction. Help on this program is sparse when it comes to useful information.

*** If you teach someone to spell but do nothing in regards to grammar you have done nothing. ***

when you reach a breakpoint it's up to you to adjust and make it look right, if possible maybe you can attach the project file (zipped) and I can have a look to see what is happening and try help you through the frustration

TY for that offer but that's not going to work for me. If I wanted someone else to build this simple 5 page site I would have done that to begin with. Too much time invested at this point. If I don't get this working right its back to static. I want to KNOW what the is going on & why. It seems the extent of "trouble shooting" is this right here. "Just send it over - I'll fix it." As much as that is lovely its also, again, frustrating. I really want to do this myself so I can "fix it" in the future without having to run here every time. Yes I am venting some frustrations a little but I am being polite. Thanks again but it seems I'll just have to keep stumbling around with trial & error.

Wasn't offering to do it for you was offering to have a look see whats going on then can help you do it yourself, thats all. of course you need do it yourself and achieve that AHHHH moment which will come, then away you go design and build as many more as you like

Like many others here, I'm an experienced HTML writer. I've been writing HTML 5 for some time, and I've done a lot of work with CSS. That's My Trouble.

I've always built the HTML script and inserted graphics as I needed them, building the page like you would write an essay.

RSD asks me to think in a different way. I need to create the STYLE for the page (and the site) FIRST. Forget about page building and think about the style sheet blocks that will hold the content. How will those blocks shift, stack, as the width of the page closes? I write this as a note to myself.
Style sheet design FIRST, build your web page second, JOHN.

Now I'm going to re-read the help guides I've already read, but didn't quite understand. I think I'm about to make progress, but it's 20 hours into the process, and a lot of that was very frustrating. (I have this idea in my head that I can do stuff, but the way I was doing it, was all back to front for RSD work.)

Hello all, first time poster here...

I've got a roughly 2000 page website designed and maintained until now using Frontpage. I want to convert it to a responsive website and understand it will have to be done one page at a time.

I recently purchased RSD and have been working thru tutorials for several days now. I see a lot to like design wise, but am having trouble understanding how to start setting up the website structure.

Are there any instructions for how to start a new website project with RSD? How to set up the structure (saving files, & adding folders and subfolders)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
