Starting a New Web Site...

 

Before starting a new WebSite, we suggest looking through the sample site, which serves as a tutor of sorts as well as a reference for images and backgrounds.

To open the sample site click on FILE, OPEN. In the FILES OF TYPE box choose WEBSITE. Once you have chosen WEBSITE files, you can now click on Sample.wbs and click OK.

 

 

When you are ready to start a new WebSite click on File, New Web Site. The Web Site wizard will launch, offering you 3 choices.

  • For people who are completey new to building a web site, we reccomend you try using one of our pre-made theme sites. The Theme sites already have a background, coordinated type style, buttons and color scheme. There is text on every page to tell you what you need to enter and how you can alter the text on the buttons and images. Click on "Create a New Site Using WebSite Themes".

    Click here to see the Tutor for Creating a Theme Site.

  • For people who have an idea of how they want their site to work, and have a little knowledge of how web sites work, choose the "Create a New Site From Scratch" option. Click here for the Start Site from scratch tutorial.

  • For people who already have a web site established, you can have WebExpress build a web site file from your existing site. The best way to make sure this works is to close web express and create a new directory on your hard drive (usually c:\) named for your web site. Then put every page that exists on the site into that directory. Next create a directory inside the new one you just created, and call it images. Store every image for you site in the images directory. Once this has been completed start WebExpress, click on File New WebSite and choose the "Create a Site Using Existing Pages". Follow the instructions in the Wizard.
