Using site assistants

Included with Claris Home Page are special assistants to help you create a specific kind of site, such as one that uses frames, or one that contains forms connected to a FileMaker Pro database. Assistants are step-by- step panels that guide you through the process of creating these special types of Web sites. You specify the information for the site and Claris Home Page creates the pages and links them together.
