About CorelWEB.SiteBuilder

CorelWEB.SiteBuilder is the easy-to-use visual tool for easily creating and managing your own interactive web site on the Internet or an intranet--without the need to write any software code!

With CorelWEB.SiteBuilder you simply drag and drop predefined items, such as an employee handbook, or a product catalog into the layout window to build your site. QuickTasks help you along by asking for specific information.

CorelWEB.SiteBuilder also makes it easy to change the visual style of all web pages on your web site with just the click of a button. Select from such styles as Designer, Southwest, or Liquid Gold to give your web site a consistent look.

CorelWEB.SiteBuilder comes with Corel Intranet Server software for publishing your web site to your own computer, or to an internal company server.

About Web/Page Templates

CorelWEB.SiteBuilder includes several predesigned templates that make it easy to create attractive web sites in just a few easy steps. Click the Web/Page Templates tab to display a list of the templates you can choose from, select a template, then simply select the page you want to use and drag it into place in the HTML framework in the layout window. A marker indicates where the page goes when you drop it.

After you have selected a template and set the basic format and style, enter your own content for an impressive, eye-catching web site.

Each of the templates is a page; they are not components that you can add to a page.

About Adding Predefined Content Components

CorelWEB.SiteBuilder comes with several pre-coded HTML objects that you can use to easily build your own custom web site. Each of these contents is part of a page; they are not pages themselves.

Click the Content tab to display a list of the different types of components. Select a component type, then select the component you want to use and drag it into place in the framework in the layout window. A marker indicates where the component goes when you drop it.

When you add components that require extra information (like files to find, location of a CGI script, applications to use, and so on), CorelWEB.SiteBuilder uses QuickTasks to guide you through filling in the necessary information.

About Browsing for URLs

Use Browse for URL to retrieve a web site from any address on the Internet. CorelWEB.SiteBuilder copies all the HTML codes and formatting of that site into the layout window, where you can customize it for your own use. Retrieving a web site from a URL does not actually modify the original web site.

You can load the URL and display the source, history, or browser view.

Click these buttons to select options:

	Go to the previous URL in the history list.
	Go to the next URL in the history list.
	Load the URL.
	Display page information and status.
	Display a history list of the URLs you have browsed.
	Reload the URL or stop the current transfer.

About Publishing to the Internet

Use Publish to URL to make your web site available for others to display. You can publish it to an intranet server, or copy it to a shared drive or server connected to your computer. Simply choose how much of your web site you want to publish--all of your web site, only the pages you select, or even selected items.

Use Corel Intranet Server software along with CorelWEB.SiteBuilder to use your own computer as an intranet server.

You must already have local area network access set up in order to access other servers and sites.

To create a new web site
To create a new web site,

1	Click Web [image] New.

3	Specify which page you want to use as a starting point for your web site.

4	Select the type of web site you want to create.

Tips

If you intend to publish two or more web sites to the same folder or to Corel Intranet Server, consider carefully the name you use to identify the initial page of each site. If you always use the name INDEX.HTM (or DEFAULT.HTM) for a new web site, any previously published INDEX.HTM (or DEFAULT.HTM) that still exists in the folder or Corel Intranet Server will be overwritten. To avoid this, click Other, then specify a unique name for each new web site you create.

New Web lets you create a basic web site. You can change the visual style and add or subtract elements after you have created your web site.

Referred to as the World Wide Web or simply "the Web."  An immense collection of documents (in HTML format) available through the Internet.


intranet

An organization-wide network of computers that provides similar services to those offered on the public Internet. For example, a company can create their own internal World Wide Web site, or intranet, to give employees around the world easy access to information about policies, departments, projects, and so forth. Intranets are Internets on a smaller scale and they typically reside behind a firewall.

A server can also refer to a software program that performs this function rather than the computer. For example, Corel Intranet Server is software that turns your computer into a server.

About New Web

Use New Web when you create a brand new web site. Enter the name for your site, then the filename for the page you want to use as the starting point. Most browsers look for INDEX.HTM or DEFAULT.HTM automatically, so you do not have to type them into your browser. If you click Other and type a different filename, you will need to specify that filename inside your browser.

Important: If you intend to publish two or more web sites to the same folder or to Corel Intranet Server, consider carefully the name you use to identify the initial page of each site. If you always use the name INDEX.HTM (or DEFAULT.HTM) for a new web site, any previously published INDEX.HTM (or DEFAULT.HTM) that still exists in the folder or Corel Intranet Server will be overwritten. To avoid this, click Other, then specify a unique name for each new web site you create.

Select the type of web site you want to create. You can add and subtract elements later if necessary.

Select a visual style that will apply to all the pages, components, and elements in your web site. You can change the visual style later on if you want to.

Using New Web creates a folder in your WBStyles folder using the name you specify. It contains a .WEB file containing the name of the web, the filename of the first page, and the publishing method and information. The Open dialog looks for a .web file to open your site. If you delete your .web file, it will not appear on the list, even if you still have the actual HTML files. In an emergency, you can recreate the .web file using a text editor, but this is not recommended.
