Claris Home Page Lite Template Documents

Claris Home Page Lite includes a number of templates
for use in small business, home, personal and
education contexts. Each of the documents is
easily customizable by replacing the text with
your own information. Whether you would like to
build your own personal Web page, publish your
organization's newsletter, put your business on
the Web or simply create a calendar, these
templates can be your building blocks. Many of
the templates have notes that will guide you on
what types of information to use and where to
place the information.

The templates include a number of different
styles, such as Natural or School. There are
also a number of Web site examples such as the
Presentation Template. In this folder, you will
find the necessary files to create a
presentation. In the Small Bus Example there is
an example of a company's Web site, including
ideas on how to present your company or
organization on the Web.

Within the Styles folder, you will find a number
of styles, each with Web sites with the various
design elements. For example, if you like the
Stone style, you can use it to build a newsletter
or a company site. You can build your personal
page to match and include a calendar too! Do this
by simply replacing the text in the templates
with your own.


TIPS
------------------------------------------------
1) All images for the templates are contained in
an Images folder.  It is good practice to do this,
especially if you plan to upload your files to a
server. As you customize the templates, you may
want to add more images. Make sure they are inside
the same images folder within the site folder.

2) Adding pages is easy. Do this by copying one of
the template pages whose layout you would like to
follow. You can change the Document Title of the
page in the Document Options dialog box.

3) As you work with your Web page, you may want
to choose Document Statistics from the Edit menu
to see how long the download time is estimated for
your Web page. If it gets too large (over 20
seconds), it is less likely that the viewers will
wait for it to download and they'll probably move
onto another page.
